Reflection Questions 152-156

Why do you think Elie Wiesel wrote this book?
I think Elie Wiesel wrote this book so he can teach us how it was back in the old days and if it ever happens again we would know how to approach it and also he could be telling us this so that we realize that the way were living life now we got it easy and it is not nothing compared to the old days.

Why do you think he chose Night as its title
I think he chose night as the title because as the holocaust was going on he didn't really have any life or time to explore life and also that another reason is that he saw the same thing everyday and he saw black because he didn't see the real world.

How Does Elie change as a result of his experiences in the concentration camp
I think that he changed by when he first got there he was all scared and he saw everything going on and he couldn't believe it and as he experienced when he started seeing them do stuff its like it doesn't matter because he already used to it.

How Does Elie finally come to terms with is ordeal?
Elie comes to ordeal with his experience by teaching it to other people and let them know what happen and to prevent it form happening again and also i think he overlooked his past and started his life off fresh and also i think something like this is hard to put in the past.do you think

Give examples of issues in night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide?
One example of genocide that kind of relates to night is that in south africa young african american people are killing the whites for no reason and i can compare that to the book night becuase the nazi's are killing the jews for no reason and they killed half of the jews and kept there hair and used it to make mattresses not only that they used there bones and put them in the oven and made soil for plant.And i dont think that is fair. Finally i would say that people shouldnt be jugded by the color of there skin.
Another act of genocide that relates to night is that In Sudam at least 250,000 more men,women, and children have died since the Bush Administration.Using the Janjaweed Militia, Sudan's regime has conducted a systemic campaign to kill and drive out Darfur's ethnic Massalit, Fur, and Zhagawa peoples. They attack towns, villages, and refugee camps.They actually kill the men and boys,raped women and girls, and poison the wells. Their goal is to replace these African peoples with Arab people with Arab herders. Another example would be China's "one-child" policy since they tend to keep the boys and men and kill most of the girls; a baby girl was found in the gutter and people just walked by as if it was something normal.Another example would be in Chad, militia brutally attacked villages,raped women and girls, killed the babies. and this relates to night becuase they used to hang and kill people and kill the babys when they used to cry.
Another act of genocide that is happening that kind of reflects with night is that in mexico in juarez. they been killing women because they work and because they want to become students. i think that relates to night because they killed people that just wanted to become good people and wanted to go good but they werent given that oppurtunity its just that the nazi"s kept killing them.

Solving A Problem On The Street

One problem that I see in the streets all the time is that people are always dieing in the streets because they have gang bangers out there that like to kill people and also that you have drunk drivers that drink there life away and cant drive and drive on a rampage and they take an innocents person life away also they kill people because they don’t give them the amount of drugs they owe them.
One solution that I think they can help people stop dying is that if they stop letting these game bangers run wild and free in the streets. I think that every time they see a group of young guys or ladies they should stop them because you don’t know what they have on them. Next thing I think is that they should park there cars in the neiborhoods that are affiliated with gangs for about 1 hour and make sure everything’s is alright. Then I think that they should stop and pull people over if they see them with a lot of guys in the car and they look suspicious I say it wouldn’t hurt to try. Finally I think that they should let young kids hang on the corners and if they do stop and tell them to move or your going to lock them up. Also they should have grown men telling these kids that they shouldn’t be out there killing other people because its not worth it and what you do to others it may come back to you or to somebody you truly love.
My second solution is that they should limit the number of drinks that people buy at the bar at the club another thing is that the state of Illinois should have a rule that you cant leave until somebody picks you up or you call a taxi I say this because you are not only putting your life in danger your putting millions of other people to because the same you have to drive they have to drive to not only that you know we have to here that somebody has died because an idiot on the street was driving drunk not only that there should have the time of the bars open to a certain time and only on the weekend because drinkers that drink 24/7 are going to lose there minds and go crazy so that another solution I think
Finally another soluiton I think is that people are also dying because you hve people that owe other people mney and weed and they don’t want to pay so that they have to go and shoot them or stab them to send out a message that they don’t play also I think we can resolve this by illigilizing weed and offering more jobs in the community and that will open the doors for people to make money and they will have enuff money to buy there own weed

Hansel And The Gretel.

When my family we starving and did’t have anything to eat are parents ended my sister and out into the woods to look for some food that we can use to survive not only that that showed me that my only parents that I thought were going to be there for me forever failed to take care of there kids also another thing is that my sister and I were living with a lady that tried to kill us another thing is it showed me that I cant depend on nobody but my self and that I was trying to collect all the pebbles I can to or keep us alive but not only overhearing my parents say that they are going to send us farther in the woods so that we shall not find are way back I think that my parents were being really greedy and stingy with there food they should gave us the food because were there kids and we got more to live for than what they do they experienced life we haven’t and we could of starvation.

Also thing is that what kind of parents did i have that tyred to throw there kids in the forest just because they didn't have enough food so that are whole family cans live not only that they didn't bother to come out and look for us we went to an old lady's House that helped us but really really she was in it to try to kill us and bake us so that she can have something to eat. but i thought that eve thought i didn't have a place to live i had me and my sister to care of so i defeated the lady and toke over the house and made sure that my sister was eating not only that my mom and dad got what they deserved for throwing us out in the forest died and hour later for the harsh she did to us.

Dr heidegger's experiment

write down your observations on this experiment

As me Dr. Heidegger's i would not receive to take this water because these people only went back in time for a little bit and they got young and started doing the same stuff that they did when they were young instead of doing better while they were older and also they are going to make the same mistakes that they made and why would you wan to go back and experience something that you done once twice and i think that what was the point of taking it because it is going to be there an limited of time and go back so i would that taking that medicine is only going to make you different for hours and then when you take that water all your going to do is fight with your friends over a girl that is a widow and when she was young she was very loose

Flowers For Algernon

If you were given a choice to have an operation that would make you much smarter, would you do it especially if you knew the effects of the surgery would only be temporary why or why not? use examples from the story.

If I was given this choice I would not receive this operation because I think that it would be waste of time and it would’not be worth it because I think that I am smart also I think I should use what I have and I should not take something that is not important also I would say that whatever god gave me he gave it to me for a reason and I should work up to my potential what with I got. And also this surgery will only make you smart for a little bit of time and then you are going to be smart and using all these big words and stuff and then when the smartness goes away your going to be at the level you were at your not going to be smart that is something putting you to sleep and and putting something in your body to make you smarter and basically somebody being smart for you and your not learning nothing and also i would say that you have the ability to learn whatever you want without having this surgery because what god gave he knew we can work up to are potential and we can be successfully with it.

the curious case of benamin button chapter 8-the end

explain what this story says about each of these issues. use examples from the story to support your explanation
FAMILY
I think that what family means for me in the story is that his own family members couldnt accept other family members for who they or the way they looked they always had to come to comparmises with eachother and that means that family in the story was that they were like friends and really didnt care about eachother they always tryed to bring eachother down with one an other and family in this story was that they tryed to support and come along way way with eachother but something always popped up to ruin it.

AGE
i think that what agremeant in the story was that every time somebody got older than Benjamin will get younger and he kept on getting younger until he was a baby and always age was like that everybody was the same age and Benjamin was going to school with his grandson and it was like everybody will gain a couple years and some people will decrease in years so that showed that one point in the story that everybody was almost the same age and that they all were having the same habits and they all were encountering diff rent ways of living life at the same age.

BEAUTY
in my eyes i think that beauty played a big role in this story because people were diff rent ages and they went form an old man and went to a young sexy man i think that beauty is very awkward because at point in the story also everybody was the same age and they look the same and they coud of refered to eachother as brothere of best friends and i think that and beauty went a ong way becuase people having mifes and then you have 19-20-21 year old girls flirting with you i think it was very strange how beauty was in this story

The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, chapters 3-7

after reading chapter 3-7 predict three problems you think Benjamin will encounter give your solutions for each?



A problem that Benjamin is going to encounter is that he is going to find allot of girls and that he is going to date them because there going to think he is a cutie and then in solution to that he is going to have to leave all of them to the side and say that i only want to be with one and it is time to get series because i have a teenage son that i got to leave a good impression on.

Another problem is that he is going to be involve with this new wife of his and he is going to want to spend the rest of his life with her and he is going to get young and he wont be able to be with her anymore in solution to this i think he should just tell them that i only can be with for a little bit of time before i have to leave and take care of some business and he will have to leave her.

Finally i think that another problem he will run into is that when he gets younger that all the people that were making fun of roger button son they are going to say he is cute and ask him on a date in solution to that he should say that before when i looked like an old man you couldn't except me for who i was what is the difference now i still am who i really was before

the curious case of benjamin button chapter 2

Roger is so overly concerned with how Benjamin looks is worried about what people are going to say.



what should he do ?



I think that roger should accept his son for who he is he shouldn't be worried about what people have to say about his son that is his son whether he likes the way he looks or his actions he stills have to take care of him and love him no matter what. Also people can say whatever they want words don't hurt.

The Curious Case OF Benjamin button chapter one

what would you have done if you were roger button in chapter one ?

If i was roger button in this situation i would have a 70 year old i would take responsibility for my kid no matter what because i shouldn't be ashamed of what is mine so yea i would go around and tell people that he is my son and if they don't accept him for who he is and who he looks than they don't need to be involved with are family. And also no matter how he looks he will always be my son and you just can say that's not your son because he came out as a baby at the age of 70 not only that i would react like were is my wife she just had are 70 year old baby and she is no were to be found.

Basketball

BASKETBALL
As I dribble down the court
I hear the whistle blow
The ref yells out two shots
And sends me for a free-throw
As I make the first shot it goes down with a swish
As I shoot the second shot all I can do is wish
To make the shot to win the game
And not having to hear people calling me a lame
Or it can be the same like all the other games
And have my name written in the hall of lame
As I shoot the second shot I have an image
Of me tripping over my moms kitchen pots
As I made the shot
I say to my self I deserve a big nap on the cot.

The Secret.

It was my best friend's deepest, darkest secret and it would be a hard one to keep I knew my best friend since we were in 4Th grade and we were close like brothers and we did everything together and we were the close to each other like I couldn't be close to no one else. And as we were growing up we shared everything we had in common and all are secrets with each other. Also I knew Shalala like nobody else can one day we were going to go out with are friends and Shalala said I think there is something you need to know I didn't tell you because I had to wait to the right time well I said go head and speak what’s on your mind Shalala began to cry and began to speak and he said I have cancer I said I'm sorry Shalala and she began to cry and I gave him hug whispered in her ear and said every things going to be okay trust me.

Another thing is Shalala thought by her telling me her secret I wasn't going to be there for him anymore because she thought I wasn't going to accept for what he has and some people have obstacles I life that they have to face. So as me knowing that she has cancer she told me that she didn’t want me to tell anybody I promised I wasn’t going but I was going to get her help because she was going to get through it strong and not give up on her self. Also I said that when you need anything i am here for you and you can count on me for anything.

How To Make Logandale Better

Logandale would be a better school if they had an intramural sports program for boys and girls. I think they should put our textbooks on our computers so we don’t have to carry them around. Also that we shouldn’t be forced to wear uniform. We should come to school knowing we look good and ready to work up to are potential.
Logandale would be a better school if they had an intramural sports program for boys and girls. One reason why is that if they had a sports program after school a lot of kid would join and they wouldn’t be hanging out in the streets after school. Another thing is that when we finish playing for our school team and are season is over how we suppose to learn more skills before we go to high school. Also it will give kids time to do something productive with there time and enjoy it with there friends. Not only should we have fun in school we should do our work to the best potential.
I think they should put our textbooks on our computer so we don’t have to carry them around. One reason why I think they should put are book online is because the school don’t got to be worried about us losing our books. Another thing is that if we get are books online on our computer the school wouldn’t have to spend money on books and they can spend it on better sports uniforms. Another thing is teachers give us an assignment on the computer they can monitor what we are doing and control us. I would say if we do what is right we should get rewarded with the good stuff.
Finally I would say that we shouldn’t be forced to wear uniform. I think we should have the freedom to wear what we want and be able to look good in school. Another thing is that if everybody wears what they want and doesn’t wear gang colors there wouldn’t be no fights and people would wear what they look good in. Also students from other school hear we don’t have to wear uniform there going to want to wear what they want that will increase the number of students at our school. Would you want to be in a situation like this.
In conclusion logandale would be a better school if they had an intramural sports program for boys and girls. I think they should put are textbooks on our computer so we don’t have to carry our books around. Finally I would say that we shouldn’t be forced to wear uniform. How would you feel if you work up to your potential and you don’t get rewarded for it.

Tony Ayala`s~ Life Story

I am so happy the day my son was born tony he was a little fat chunky baby i thought he was the cutest thing ever and i was fulfilled with joy when i was able to cut his biblical cord. I thought my son was the most important in this world to me i remember his first words that put a smile on my face when he said mommy he was 2 years old. Tony was always trying to be like his older brother as he was young. As Tony started growing up he became5 an athlete at an young age that started playing sports. He would always try to hang out with his other brother and his friends i thought tony had an idol his older brother.

Life Changing Event

When i meet a few people that made a big impact in my life and changed it around was when i meet Jessica, Luis, Edgar, David, Omar, It changed my life in many ways because One thing is that the day i meet these people i felt like somebody that had a meaning to be in those peoples life and that they showed me that they were true friends. Another reason is that they showed me and thought me that to be yourself be and show people who you really are don't hide who you are from nobody. Next i would say that when these people became my friend i thought that i had the best friend in the whole wide world and that nobody can replace them because i look at them as if it is the end of the world.

Another important role that they placed in my life was that they were always there for me no matter what and when i needed somebody or something they are something valuable and precious to me and as i look at them it is like they are the other half of me they help me and motivate me to get through life. Its like meeting them was very great because they got to know me very well and they new lots of stuff about me that other people didn't know. Also they showed me that they will never turn there back n me and that they love me to much to hurt me.

Then i would say that they do everything with me they invite me places we play basketball together and we hang out at at each other houses we spend time with every day and not only that we talk like friends we talk about stuff that i cant talk about with other people and i cant build a relationship with other people besides these people.

Finally i would say that they love me and no matter what they will never turn on me and that and when we are mad at each other we cant stay mad at each other but I'm glad to say that they made a big impact in my life and I'm glad that they are still in my life if they are and i love them for the bottom of the dirt to the endless sky.

Parents Are The Best Teachers.

I agree with parents being the best teachers one reason i think that they are the best teachers is because they have good habits and we grasp them and use those habits in the real world. Another reason is that they practice what they preach and do it for a reason because they want us to to be successful in the real world. My final reason is that they try to teach us how to grow up and not be little kids anymore and to depend on your self and don't count on nobody else. They teach us to be polite and to shoe people who we really are.

My second reason why i think they are the best teachers is that they have good manners and we grasp them and use those manners. My dad has good manners and he is really respectful and very smart and very talented and i grasp those habits form him to be successful in the real world. Also my mom has great habits and bad habits and she has a lot of friends for the simple fact that she is a very serious and she always says give respect to get respect. Finally My parents leave good reputations behind there self and where ever they go they get rep sect so i want to look up to them and go places where people respect me and take me serious. Are parents tell us this stuff for a reason because they really care about us and they love us to much to see us mess up.

Another reason is that they practice what they preach.They tell us to be good in school and not make a fool out of your self and show people who you really are and that what they do and they tell us is because they do it to be a very bright person. I think that they don't tell us stuff just to say it they tell us it because they care about me and they want the base for me. Next they tell us when we get in trouble that they are not going to be there for us anymore and no matter what if there mad at us they still give us the stuff we need.Then they try to show us if you act your age and behave you will get rewarded with happiness and greatness.

Finally they try to teach us how to grow up and not be little kids anymore. I think they tell us to be dependent and not to count on other people to be there for you but your self. Another reason is that they tell us that for a reason because they care about us and they don't want people to take us as a joke. Also they try to teach us how to be good men towards girls and how to respect them and they will respect you back. H ow would you like it if people thought you acted like a little kid and toke advantage of you and toke you as a joke.

I agree with parents being the best teachers. one reason why i think they are the best teachers is that they have good habits and we grasp them and use those habits in the real world. Another reason is that they practice what they preach and do it for a reason because they want us to be successful in the real world.My final reason is that i think they try to teach us how to grow up and not be little kids anymore and to depend on your self and don't count on nobody else.

A Skill EveryOne Needs To Know

I think that a skill in the real that people will need to be successful in the world.

I Think that one skill to be successful in the real world would be that you will have to use teamwork because in the real world you would have to work with somebody and you will have to work together because two different people doing two different things will not be very smart. Because they will be confused and in the real world you will have to learn this skill to be successful in the real world. Next I would say that it is better to work with teamwork because if one is working better than the other and that one sees that he is better than it is going to turn into a competition and than you have 2 people seeing who can do it better.

Finally in conclusion I am going to give an example lets say that I am on a basketball team and they have 2 good players that are on the same team and they don’t use teamwork and they compete with each other to see who is better and every time one of them gets the ball they ball hog. So I would say that instead of them competing with each other they should use teamwork and there skills and dominate it against other teams.


Another reason that you should learn this skill to be successful in the real world is that you would need to learn how to communicate. I think this skill is very important in the real world because people in the real world hold grudges against one an other. Then I would say that normal people shouldn’t do that they should communicate and express they way the feel. Next I would say that we have people that been hurt in the real world by something or somebody so I would say that they should communicate with other people on what problems they are having with because if we have people that are always hurt and don’t communicate with other people they are just going to be quiet and be sad and depressed and then they are going to be so hurt in the inside that they are going to be motivated to do the wrong stuff and have a bad mentality.

Finally in conclusion I am going to give a example why I think that communication is a skill you would have to learn in life and be successful. So say that 2 people are arguing and they are exchanging words back and fourth with each other and they are just screaming at each other and they start fighting. I would say that fighting doesn’t solve anything its just make the problem worse what do you get out of it I think it would be better if you communicate like 2 human beans and if you learn that skill you will very successful person in the real world.

My Last Reason is that you will have to learn the skill being respectful in order to be successful in the real world. i think that is a very important skill because

The Best Day Ever

The best day ever was when i meet my best friend David Marron and i met him Thur my friend Micheal Rosa and i didn't know him at the time so he toke me to his Davids house to play basketball so i went with them and i started playing basketball with my friends and as we started playing i noticed that David was very good and he war in 6 and i was in 6 grade and are school didn't have a basketball team so what happened was that we became partners and we always signed up to be on the same team and if we weren't on the same team neither of us wouldn't play.

Next David and i became cool best friend and we decided that we were going to be best friend and David and i choose to make are own team back in 7Th grade and we were with each other since 7Th grade up to this day we are still on the same team and we play for are school team and which we are going to help them win a championship so i think that was the best day of my life meeting David Marron because he is what friendship means to me and he looks out for me and not only that that we help each other with are skills in basketball and tells each other when we are doing something wrong,

Then i say that this was the best day of my life because i met on of the coolest guys ever and one of the best basketball players ever and i think that me and him are going to help are school win a championship and are other teams and we work as a team and on the court we put everything a side and we take the game of basketball series and not only do we play well we are like Dwayne Wade and Micheal Beasley on the court. and if i never met my friend David Marron i would never been so good at basketball because he motivates me to be a better athlete.

Finally i would want to say that not only do we play good on the court he is a very great friend that helps people out and looks out for them and he is a very funny guy and he knows how to have fun and enjoy time with his friend and he has a nice personality and he motivates me to do good in school so we can play together on and off the court so i want to say meeting David Marron was the best day of my life and i want to thank him for being there for me when i needed him the most
