Holocaust Book Club Reflection

Learning about the life of Elli in the book I Have Lived a Thousand Years teaches me not to take my life for granted. I need to cherish everything I have in life including my family, friends, food, clothing, education, and a roof over my head. Reading my book and seeing all the terrible things that Elli went threw during the Holocaust made me feel sorry. When Elli in the book goes without food for a week, lives in cramped spaces with a bunch of people, and witnesses a lot of gruesome things. Reading about those horrible things makes me stop and think that I should appreciate what I have and be grateful. Also all these things in the book make me realize I just don’t want to take my life for granted when there are people in way worse situations than me right now and that I should be thankful for what I have.

The choices people made during the rise of the Nazi Party and the Holocaust teach us about the power and impact of our choice by being able the speak out. People were to afraid to do something about the Nazis and the Holocaust because they didn’t want anything bad to happen to them. No one was there to help when other people needed it and were afraid to use there voice to assist other  people when they needed it. When a kid is getting picked on and you walk right past them you are at worst as the person picking on the kid. It’s good to voice your opinions out because it can help with change and make something better than it was before. The people had the choice to use there voice and help out other people during the rise of the Nazi Party but they thought only about themselves when they could of made a impact. That’s why it’s good to use your voice and speak up for either yourself or other people to have a impact or make change.

If I Were President ?

Well if I were president, laws I would have are to have a Statue of me in Washington D.C. just to get that out there. There will also be a law we’re you have to go through a long process if you want to access a weapon of any kind to stop more violence going around in the United States. I would have medical incurrence for enevryone and lower taxes and a free education so they don’t have to be stuck in student loan debt. I want to veto imagination laws so people can have jobs. I would want gays to be able  to marry in every state of America.

Snow Day

This all started on Thursday as I was about to leave school and one of my teachers said have a good weekend when there was still Friday to go. Then he pointed out that there is no school on Friday because of a snow day. That’s when I got super exited and couldn’t wait for a three day weekend and relax. When I woke up the next morning and thought that I could be getting ready for school and thought what I would be doing in school throughout the day,but instead relaxing that day. I even remembered that it was my first snow day in a few years for school. On fridays are like test days but that day I didn’t have any because I didn’t have school. I was also telling my friends on how they found out on how school was canceled and sharing the news. At the end of the day I told my mom well that was a hard day even though there wasn’t any school at all that day.

Going Apple Picking With My Uncle

This weekend I’m going apple picking with my family and with my uncle. I’m really excited to go apple picking because my uncle is coming to town. I’m really excited because he’s coming from Arizona and haven’t seen him in two years sense I visited him. Another thing is that my uncle has never been apple picking so it will be fun for him to tag along. One of the things that my family loves him for is that he is very funny and has a funny comment on everything. The reason that he came from Arizona is because he’s going to see two weddings and see family so I’m really glad that we’re going apple picking to reunite and see each other. He’s also going to come back to our house from apple picking and hasn’t seen our house in years sence we redid it. I think apple picking will be really fun for him and for my family to get back together with him.
