NO ONE comes between those four. until claire comes along. claire honestly tries to make new friends, but the people in that really preppy girls school are just mean. for instance, the one girl alecia put a bloch of red paint on claires pants to make it look like she just got her period, and that was really mean. and then so claire goes on massie's screen name, and is like "omg claires my best friend we are wearing this and this and this tomorrow." so then all the girls except massie wear that and they all are like ?!??! but then they find out that claire was the one talking to them and bust her for it in a really mean way. they do a five person call and bust claire out and stuff. then claire becomes friends with this girl layne so then everything is all goooood.

Annorax. it's a huge sub, and the whole thing is powered by electricity. the chapter ennds with the three guys looking out the glass window while in the middle of the Black River.
this portion of the book was quite interesting. if you don't like science however, this is not a book for you. everything is extremely detailed in terms of science, and there are so many lists. i think that is what makes the book so long.
In this book it is about a young boy named Bruno. He is 9 years old and has a sister mom dad and a maid. Brunos dad takes his job very serious.

Okay so the book starts off where Annabel Greene is going back to her first day of school knowing everybody hates her. When she gets there, her ex-best friend Sophie comes up to her and straight-forwardly calls her a bitch. She then goes on to tell us how she became best friends with Sophie. She & her ex-bestfriend Clarke were spending there summers at the pool, and the new girl was following Annabel's sister around. Finally, Annabels sister, Kristen, flips on the new girl and the new girl storms out of the pool. Clarke and Annabel go to the girls house to give her her things that she left at the pool and so on. The afternoon after school, she has a modeling shoot to go to & her mother and her other sister, Whitney, show up. She then goes into telling us how her and all her sisters are models and that her sister Whitney became horribly anorexic and the story behind that. Her two sisters still wont even talk to each other. Her family lives in a basically glass house & Annabel likes to point out how from outside, the people looking in see a perfect family eating dinner, whens its so much different then that.
I like the book so far. I'm not far into it yet but I want to know why everyone hates her!
(nothing much happens yet) This kid Eddie Dickens has parents that are very ill. The sicknes made them turn yellow and smell like old hot water. He thinks the disease has been spreading around and it might have something to due with the deap fog. Eddie Dickens asks a lot of anoying questions and there is no point to the questions. For example, he asks why the ice cubes his mom is sucking on look like a general from a book he read. His dad is really pissed off at him. He notices the little things like there are no polyester filled duvets with washable covers. Eddie's mom is now in the hospital and she is getting sicker. Wow i hate this book and im going to stop reading it. Its boring as crap and has no plot just a kid rambling on about nothing pretty much. I will start a new book in the next few days.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard J. K. Rowling Alexander S. Kaplitz
Vocab words - admixture, vex, hector, vie, odyssey, avaricious, junoesque
This book is a admixture of short stories. At the end of each story J. K. Rowling has a interpretation by Dumbledore saying what each story means. The first story is The Wizard and the Hopping Pot. In this story a wizard's father helps the muggles with all their problems. This makes the son angry. When the father dies the father gives the son a slipper which vexes the son. When a muggle asks for the boys help the son says no. Then the pot, which the father made everything to help the muggles, starts hectoring the son. When the son can not stand it any more he helps all the villagers. In the interpretation the moral of the story was that you should help muggles whenever you can. The moral of the story which can apply to the real world is that you should help everyone know matter what race they are. The next story was The Fountain of Fair Fortune. In this story people vie over having the chance to go to a fountain. 3 witches win along with a knight. They go up the hill and are met with three challenges. All the challenges show how badly they want to go to the fountain and how much they need to go to the fountain. When they get to the fountain all of there wishes come true. The fountain wasn't magical at all it was there efforts in the odyssey. The moral of the story was that you have to work hard to get what you want. The next story was The Warlock's Hairy Hart. A guy is very avaricious and sees love as a threat. So, he uses dark magic to remove his heart. When he rules the palace and gets everything he wants people still pity him because he has not found his lover. So the man asks for a wife and the next day a junoesque women comes to the castle. He asks for her hand in marriage and she says yes. When they have a feast the man show his heart to her. When she freaks out he kills her then kills himself. The moral of that story was don't let Dark Magic control you. The real moral was don't let greed control you. The next story was Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump. In this story a king wants all the wizards and witches killed. So he sends hounds on them. But, he would save one so that he himself could learn magic. A muggle then says he is a wizard and asks for gold to pay for the wands. When the king gives him the gold the muggle just takes a branch and says that it is a wand. When they are "practicing" a real witch watches and laughs. The king then says to the muggle that he would show of her skills in front of everyone though all the king was doing is a little trick the muggle has. The muggle then says to the witch that she has to do everything the king wants her to do. At the demonstration someone dies. The witch cant bring her back to life so the king looks like a fool. The king spots the witch and says she is preventing him to do his tricks. She then turns into a rabbit and hides in a tree she also formed. Then she says that the king has to stop killing the wizards and stop learning magic. There was no moral to the story that she gave. The next story was The Tale of the Three Brothers. In this story three brothers cheat death. He wants them dead but he acts like it is a reward. He asks everyone what they want. One asks for an unbeatable wand. That wand gets him killed and Death got him to die. Once asked for something to bring back the dead. That one brought them halfway so, he killed himself out of the pain he saw. The third one asked for a invisibility cloak. That one he kid away from death in till he was old and he lived a long life. The moral of the story was that you should not try to cheat death.
This was a bad book because it was just short stories with fake interpretations. Writing this blog was even painful so it is sloppy and bad. It was fake and short but, it was key to the books.
Holocaust Web Note-Taking thing Jeremy Novick Introduction-1939
Hitler was named the 'president' in January 30th 1933. They named the concentration camps the "fire in Reichstag". The Germans foreign policy consisted of a thing called 'coordination'- people with Nazi goals. Hitler came to power after the president Paul von Hinderberg died. Hitler is named head of state, head of government, and head of the Nazi party. Women were in charge of finding racially 'pure' children. The great race was 'Aryons'. Someone tried to kill Hitler on July 20th 1944.Jews were stripped of their medical liscenses, their businesses, and doctors couldn't treat people other than Jewish people. The were taxed a 1.5 percent quota. They were not allowed to be named on a world war 2 wall memorial. Jews weren't allowed to act. The had to wear things that defined who they were like a J, or a star, or a card. Jews couldn't go to college and if they did they had to stand the whole time. The one in charge of the camps was Himmler who chose Theodore Eicke as his camp inspector. There were laws made to regect jews from the social enviorment. At the olympic games, the Nazi's took down the no Jews allowed signs so they wouldn't be critized on how they were treating the Jews.
It is awful what happened to these people. They didn't deserve this cruel treatment. I think it's kind of weird that i'm related to people who died in the Holocaust. Maybe most jewish people are related to people who were in it but i dont know. Probly not
this book starts out with the main character, Remmy, sitting in a car dealership. This is where her soon to be fifth step father works. Her mom is a "famous" author, and her dad was a famous musician. The reason that this book is called "this lullaby" is because when Remmy's dad found out that he had a daughter, he wrote her that song, and now its popular and played everywhere. So when Remmy is in the dealership this one kid comes and sits next to her and hits on her and writes his name (which is Dexter) and his number on Remmy's hand. Later on remmy meets up with her friends Chloe, Jess, and Lissa, who all just graduated highschool. Lissa goes off to find her boyfriend and bring him to the party, and the other three just go to the party from where they met up. at the party remmy runs in to dexter again and he introduces himself to her friends. Then when he leaves [turns out he's in the band thats playing at the party] remmy's boyfriend, who shes planning to breakup with, Jonathan comes along. Jonathan takes remmy to his house where she finds some other chick's underwhere and figures out jonathan has been sleeping with someone else, she broke up with him then. Then remmy goes back to the party to find lissa all hunched up in a ball in the back of a car seeat with chloe and jess outside. turns out lissa's boyfriend broke up with her too. So then they drive past where her exboyfriend is standing and remmy dumps her icy cold soda on his head. it was quite funny [: when remmy goes to work the next day one of davids band members comes into the salon where remmy works and informs her that david never stops taking about her.
this book is really good because soooooo many things go on at once. there are different situations with remmy's brother chris, who i forgot to mention because hes not that important yet. and with remmys friends and her mom, and even herself. so i really just want to see how everything turns out because im interested. [:
In the sprin of 1944 the Hungaran government falls into the hands of the Fascists and the next day the German armies occupy Hungary Despite the Jews belief that Nazi antiSemitism would be limited to the capital city Budapest the Germans soon move into Sighet A series of increasingly oppressive measures are forced on the Jewsthe community leaders are arrested Jewish valuables are confiscated and all Jews are forced to wear yellow stars. Eventually, the Jews are confined to small gettos, crowded together into narrow streets behind barbed-wire fences.
The Nazis then begin to deport the Jews in increments, and Eliezer's family is among the last to leave Sighet. They watch as other Jews are crowded into the streets in the hot sun, carrying only what fits in packs on their backs. Eliezer's family is first herded into another, smaller ghetto. Their former servant, a gentile named Martha, visits them and offers to hide them in her village. Tragically, they decline the offer. A few days later, the Nazis and their henchmen, the Hungarian police, herd the last Jews remaining in Sighet onto cattle cars bound for Auschwitz.
In this book a holocaust survivor writes about his experience with his father in the holocaust. The book starts out with Eli being twelve years old. He is studying the Talmud and is very religious. He wants to study the cabala but, his father says no. His father is very religious and is always in the affairs of the Jewish community. After Eli's father says no Eli finds a man named Moshe or Hebrew for Moses. The man teaches Eli before he has to go away because the Nazi's made a law saying non indigenous, Jews have to leave. Moshe escapes the Nazis and tries to warn the town of Signet that the Nazi's are bad but, the town thinks he lost his mind. Then Moshe becomes taciturn. Then the Hungarian government falls to the fascists. The Nazi's come to the town of Signet and force people to live in ghettos. After that they move people out of the town. A former servant of Eli's father asks them if they want to leave with her but, the decline because no one knew the tragedy that would soon befall on them. When on the train to someplace else a women screams that she sees a fire and she would not stop. People beat her up in till she stops screaming. When the train stops they see that they have arrived at Birkenau, the "reception" counter of Auschwitz. A person tell Eli and his father to lie about their ages. Eli says that he is eighteen and his father says that he is forty. They both are saved and move to a worker camp. People are praying to god but, it is out of Eli's ken. Why would you be praying to a god who is letting this happen? Then they are sent to Buna, a labor camp. At Buma the dentist searches for a gold filling. Eli has a gold filling but, gets out of it being removed by faking sick. The dentist then get killed for selling some of the gold filling so, Eli believes that he will be able to keep his gold filling. Eli's Kapo, Idek, is prone to violence and beats Eli's father. Instead of feeling anger to the Kapo he feels anger to his father for being attacked. There you can see that Eli is changing. Franek then sees Eli's gold filling. Franek wants it so he beats Eli's father until Eli is willing to give it up. Eli eventually gives up his gold filling. Eli sees Idek having sex and raping another women. Idek sees Eli and then beats him. When Yom Kipper comes up Eli does not fast because he is starting to lose his faith with god. Then there is another selection. Eli fears that his number will get marked down and it doesn't but, his father's number is marked down. During the second selection Eli's father passes. Eli's foot then freezes and he needs an operation. Eli's hospital neighbor says that Eli should leave as soon as possible. While Eli was at the hospital the prisoners had to be moved. The Nazi's gave Eli a choose to stay but, Eli said no because he thought they would kill him. Little did he know that the people who stayed were then liberated. When they left everyone had to run. If you stopped you were shot. When they reached their destination Eli was next to a violin player who played his last song as he was dying. When they are put in the trains Germans throw bread on the train. This caused a son to kill his father for the bread. Eli's father is now getting sick and narrowly escaped being killed. Eli's father then dies and then Eli says nothing else is as important. When Eli is liberated he wants to find a mirror because he hasn't seen himself since he was captured. When he sees himself he sees a dead body looking back at him. This signifies that he lost everyone and the person he was before is dead.
Eli basically wrote a pithy response to what happened to you in the holocaust. This book was short yet memorable. I feel more ashamed that I skimmed the book to begin with because this was one of the best books I have ever read. The writer made everything seem very personal and at the end of the book it was like it was me and my dad that was going through this horrible time.
what has happened now is that remmy's mom is getting married soon so she has all this prep work to do, considering shes in charge of the whole thing. And what's funny is that the band playing at the rehersal dinner is Dexter's band. So thats kind of coincidental.
im sorry i really didnt read all that much this week. not that much happened in what i read. so. yeah
Okay so in the beginning of this book Elie is living at his home with his dad and mom and three sisters. They hear from someone called Moche the Beadle that he was taken to a concentration camp and they kill people. Then they german officers come in and force everyone into ghettos. Then they start transporting people out of the ghettos. Elie and his family are the last to be transported out of the ghettos. When they get to the concentration camp, a prisoner tells them to lie about there ages so they become workers together. They start working at a lightbulb factory together. There are hangings of people and babies being burned and Elie gets disturbed by these things. One day there's an air raid on the camp. Many things get destroyed.
This book is hood so far . It's nice to see what the holocaust was like from Someone who was there.
I have not been blogging too often this month. To make up for that, I am going to try to blog almost every other day this week. After this one, I think I have two left for the month. I also have not been reading my other book because I have been “busy”. Night was probably the first historical book I have read. It starts off in Elie’s town. Over there, he meets moche the beadle. Moche the beadle gets deported. When the beadle comes back, he tries to tell the whole town of what had happened to him and what was going to happen to them. No one believed him, but he was right. Elie and his family, along with the rest of the town, got transferred into a ghetto. This place was not roomy at all, and there were poor living conditions. One day Elie’s father is telling stories to the neighbors while he is summoned to a council meeting. After he gets back from the meeting, the father tells everyone that they are going to be moved to another location again. In the morning, Elie and his family get on the train. They do not know where they are going. During the train ride, one of the women on the train screams that she sees a fire. She is beaten. The next day, she does it again. She is still beaten. When the train arrives, the ironic thing is that the woman was right. There was a huge incinerator at the camp that they were at, that was burning people…. Hi, my name is rahi. If you didn’t catch this, you probably aren’t reading this. Just making sure…. Elie was separated from his mother and three sisters. After the separation, there is the selection. Elie and his father lie about their job and age in order to get past the first point. From there, they are taken to a working camp. At the working camp, Elie and his father meet one of their relatives. He asks about his family. Elie lies to him, and says they are fine. Then comes the air strike. During the air strike, some of the prisoners go out try to get some more soup. After the air strike some of the people that tried to steal the soup are hanged. The fourth chapter ends with another hanging. The hanging of god. In the fifth chapter, there is another selection. Both Elie and his father pass the selection. In the sixed chapter, Elie’s leg gets infected. It is taken care of. In the following chapters, the following things happen. Elie, his father, and the rest of the camp have to run. If you stop, you get shot. When they reach the camp, Elie’s friend plays the violin for the dying people. They are transported on a train to another camp. On the train, everyone fights over bread that the ss threw in. when they arrive at the new camp, Elie’s father dies. In the end, everyone gets liberated.
I think this was a good book because it was a graphic book. It was well written. You could really feel for elie.
this lullaby.sarah desson. renee pages to around 150 ish =D
so far in this book so much has been going on. remy's mom is getting mairried, she falls in loves with a dork after learning her boyfriend slept with another girl, and she's going to college in the fall. Remy's mom's marriage went well, as did her honey moon. Dexter is still quite involved with remy, except for now she's deccided to accept the fact that she returns his feeling. shes really quite in love with him too. She hangs out with him all the time at his "summer house" with his band members [he's in a band, by the way!]. Remy has never wanted to really get involved with a guy so she knows how to dump one. but for some reason she just cannot seem to let go of dexter. Another thing is that remy's older brother, chris, is getting really involved with this girl named jennifer anne. They are together ALL the time, he goes over her appartment for dinner every night too. He used to be a drug addict and got arrested and all of that, but now he's wearing suits and correcting people's grammar and such. A WHOLLEEEE lot is going in in this book, especially for remy and she's really handling it sort of well. The thing that she keeps bringing up is how, if, she's going to dump dexter.
i hope that remy doesnt dump dexter because he seems really cool <33[: but anyway, it's like when you read about how remy's feeling it's almost like you're going through it too and you can really feel for her. its a really good book, and its easy to read =D
Elie is transferred out of the same block as his father and is now hauling around heavy cement blocks all day. Winter is approaching, so it's extremely cold outside. Soon, Elie is losing all feeling in his foot. He goes to the doctor and the doctor tells him that he'll need surgery and won't be out of the informati for a fortnight. After his surgery, he finds out that the camp is to be evacuated. He has to make the decision whether or not to make his father pretend to be a doctor on the hospital or to just go on with the evacuation. Thinking that they'll killthr infirmary patients, Elie and his father evacuate. He finds out after the war that the people in the infirmary were evacuated 3 days after. With a bad foot and it constantly snowing outside and limited food and water supplies, the struggle for survival is hard. People are dropping like flies. After a few days, everyone relaxs In a shed to get out of the cold. Elie has a friend Juliek who decides to spend his last few hours playing Beethoven on his violin for the dead and the dying. Then a train comes to take the survivors to Buchenwald. Elie's train starts off with 100 people and when they reach Buchenwald, twelve are left. The people were in the train for six days, freezing cold with no food, so when the train stops, people find it amusing you throw bread at the people in the trains and watch them trample each other for it. At the camp, Elies father is dying and keeps asking for water. On January 28th, his father is replaced with a new Prisoner. Eventually, after a few months, they get liberated. Elie looks at himself in the mirror for the first time since the ghetto, and he says that image stayed with him forever.
This book was good, buy very sad. It was depressing that Elies father dies and that they could have survived if they would have stayed at the infirmary.
This book was about a girl named Hannah Baker and a boy named Clay Jensen. Clay had received a package full of cassette tapes, each with two sides and a number painted in nail polish at the top. They were numbered 1-13. When Clay played the first tape, the voice he heard startled him. It was Hannah. But, the startling part was that Hannah had committed suicide. Hannah tells him that he is one of thirteen people who will receive these tapes, and that, in receiving them in the first place, they, in some way, are responsible for her death. As Clay listens to the tapes, he keeps wanting them to end, but he also wants to find out why he is on the tapes. He had never really known Hannah. One night at a party they talked for a while and ended up kissing, but that was it. Clay had always liked Hannah, he thought she was amazing. But, he never got a chance to talk to her after the party because, well, she killed herself. The tapes go on, and Clay finds himself following a map of their town all night, listening to where Hannah tells him to go. He finds out the Hannah got her first kiss from a guy that ends up making her life miserable and going along with the all the people that make fun of her and ignore her. He finds out that he witnessed a fatal car accident right in front of her old house where an old married couple now live. He finds out so many things he would have never guess would have happened to Hannah. When he finally gets to the last tape, he is sitting in his friend Tony’s car. Tony has the second set of tapes that Hannah had mentioned in the beginning. She said that if anyone that didn’t get the tapes found out about them, they would come out and everyone would find out about them. Clay’s part in all of this was that he was someone she could actually talk to. And he was the reason she went to that party. She wanted to see him. They ended up talking, and then they kissed, but Hannah told him to stop. So, Clay stopped and walked away after a few minutes of trying to ask if everything was okay. He regretted walking away, but she had already made up her mind. The last tape is of Hannah walking down the hallway to the guidance counselors office. She says if he can’t do anything, then it’s official. So, they talk for a while, and then the counselor starts asking questions, and getting Hannah to open up. The counselor tells her to do something, let what has been happening go. And, then, Hannah just says that she knows what she is going to do, and walks out of the room. The counselor just sits there and lets her leave. Clay is screaming out loud at the counselor to get up and stop her, but that never happened. The last tape was her saying what she was going to do, and then she says “I’m sorry.” And that was the end of the tape. The seventh tape only had her saying two words, her last two words, the last two words anyone would ever hear her say ever again. She just said “thank you.” And that was it. I absolutely loved this book. Jay Asher is a new author, and this is his only book. It was a great book. There wasn’t much dialogue other than Hannah talking and Clay talking to himself. But that was a smart idea. Clay is just walking around the town, following where Hannah leads him all night. In some parts, I wanted to yell at Hannah or the people that basically killed herself for her. It’s not right to be friends with someone on day, and talk trash about them the next. Sometimes it was hard to keep up wit Hannah because she was all over the place, bringing people up many times but in different ways and in different situations. But, I loved this book. I could actually hear a voice behind the words and I could hear the emotions behind them. I hope Jay Asher writes another book. And, did I mention that I loved this book? Because I really, really did.
Night Lindsay. (my bad, I forgot to blog about it! silly silly me.) okay, In Night, It started out as Elie telling about his friend, moche the beadle. He is a holocaust survivor. Later in the book, Elie's dad is sent to a meeting where the find out that they are being deported. The next few nights they are moved into the small ghetto and later sent to Auchwitz. On the train, a friend of Elie's family went "crazy" and was talking of great fires. The people on the train beat her. When they arrive at the concentration camp, the realize she was right and they see the crematory. When Elie's family gets in line for selection he is told to say he is 18 and to not say he was a student, and his father would say he is 40 so they would stay alive and together. They were then sent to a working camp. In the next chapter, There was an airstrike on the camp and prisoners tried to steal food, they were then hanged. As well as in the next chapter. In the next chapter, Elie's foot got infected. He was then taken care of by a doctor. Elie and his father were told to run literally for their lives. they were then sent to another camp, then his dad died and the Jew's reach liberation.
I actually loved this book. It was very informative and personal. I really felt the sorrow, grief, and emotions from Elie during this period of his life.
Okay so Annabel goes back and tells us how her & Clarke became non-best friends. It was the summer when Annabel & Sophie & Clarke first started hanging out and they were all having a movie night & sleepover. When Sophie shows up, shes really dressed up because she met some guys who wanted to party with them. So Annabel ditches Clarke with Sophie. So Clarke never talks to Annabel again. Then one day, Whitney is supposed to be picking Annabel up from school. On the way out from school, a guy talks to Annabel then Sophie confronts Annabel about it and Annabel shoves Sophie. Then Annabel throws up. Owen Armstrong helps her & gives her a ride home, since Whitney didn't show up. It turns out, Owen has his own radio show and a sister and likes Mayan chants!

oka so im reading this lullaby. still - sorry kristen ! ^ sarah desson. -renee
okat so where i left of we were talking about alll the changes in remy's life. which i think is basically the premise of the novel. So many things go on with remy that are different from before, like a possibly long term boyfriend, a non druggy/criminal brother, and her moms marriage seems like it may not last, and to top it all off remy leaves for college in august, and no one but her seems to care. Except for dexter. What really made remy mad was when she picked up set of forks and spoons and knives for dexter's house. this is because he only has one ceramic plate, and one spoon, and a couple glasses, but everything else is paper or plastic. this made her mad because she thought that it made their relationship more long term. which for remy isnt good. her friend lisa is also going to college and has to go dorm shopping following her roommate's list for color coordination. oh how fun /:
so this book really keeps you on your toes because if you skip a paragraph, or page, or anything [not that i have tried] you get really confused because almost EVERYTHING comes back in the course of the novel. so you really have to pay attention.
From the beginning of the book, (Elie) is portrayed as the main char Eliezer acter. He lives in Sighet Hungary, as a young Jewish boy looking to become a scholar. He is studying the Cabbala and the Talmud all about Jewish Mysticism. He asks his father, for a teacher and his response is that he is too young. He then goes to this man, Moshe the Beetle. He learns from Moshe until one day when all foreign Jews were being forced on a train too leave. He finds that they kill everyone of them, but Moshe escapes. He makes his way back warning everyone of the danger. Although he was respected, people ignored his warnings, which turns out to be a big mistake in future times. After Hitler takes over, the Nazi army occupies Hungary. They seem nice and people take them as O.K. or in some cases, like friends. Later, the ghettoization begins. Elizer's family is kept inside the very walls of the ghetto, and then his family is moved to the smaller local ghetto. From this point, it was just wait to see what was going to happen. The following day the people of this ghetto were herded onto a train that was headed for Auchwitz. On the train, past the Chec. border, the people are threatened to be killed if they don't give their valuables over. During the ride, a lady named Madam Schachter begins to scream of a fire outside of the window. She keeps doing it constantly, although nothing is their. Later they tie her up and gag her, and even hit her. They arrive at Auchwitz and find out what is going on. Later they move on to Birkinau. They see fire however, the fire from the furnaces burning human bodies. When they arrive, they are put through a selection that is meant to determine the weak and unworkable from the stronger and workable. Elizer and his father are separated from his mother, and three sisters who he will never see again. He and his father lie about their ages, to say they are O.K. He is scared to death when he sees the crematory and is then shuffled into barracks. They are bathed and clothed and told to work or be killed. Meanwhile his father is beaten because he asked to use the bathroom. When someone a while later asks for them, the meet a distant relative named Stein. He wonders is they know is his wife and children are o.k. Elizer, not knowing, lies and says they are o.k. He then visits Elizer and his father multiple times with a ration of bread for them. Later they begin the long journey to Buna. When they arrived, their was a crown search which Elie passed and kept his gold crown by trying to post pone the doctor from pulling it out. The doctor is taken away, but he gets to keep his crown. They are put to work in an electric warehouse, were the angry Kapo Idek beats him for seeing him sexually using a girl later in the book. They are kept with musicians, where Elie meets Juliek and Franek the head and, two brothers who he works with Yosi and Tibi. He also meets Akiba Drummer. Franek, the musician notices Eliezer's crown, which sparks his demand of it. He beats his father during marches, until Eleizer finally gives in. Later, an air raid occurs where two huge cauldrons of soup are left. A man runs out, where he sticks his head into the smoldering pot. This causes jealousy when he got to the soup by the others. After this point, two important hangings occur. The first consists of a man who stole something. This was shown during the roll call one morning. (Eliezer also notes that the soup he had tasted good that day) The second was of a resistance member and the man's servant. When this happened, the boy, was not killed instantly, and struggled under the noose. (Here, he notes the soup did not taste good). The people said that God was being hung with the boy because this kind of thing was going on.
This book is great. I like it because of the way Elie Wisel tells the story. He uses himself, a character in this horrible time, to expel all of the devastating actions of the time. Since I have finished the book already, I really do like the book. The story is not just a story but connects things overtime. It absolutely makes you think about what something means.
i decided to read boy in the stripped pajamas over the break before i finished the book j assigned to us. the book beggins as nine yearold Bruno comes home from school to find that he is moving to out with. Bruno hates his new boring surroundings compared to the comfort he is used to and wants to return to Berlin immediately. Of course this doesn't happen or else there be no story. As the plot progresses, Bruno slowly gets used to his environment. Before long he becomes bored with his indoor adventures and decides to go "exploring" - in his own words along the barrier that separates his family from the truth of his pajama wearing neighbors on the other side of the fence
Breaking Dawn starts out with Bella Swan driving her “before-car” and she is complaining to herself how Edward Cullen (her fiancé) is always getting her nice things when he knows she hates presents. The next day, she’ll be getting married to Edward, and not long after that, she hopes the Cullen’s will change her into a vampire like them. When it’s time to get ready, Alice, (Edwards “sister”) is at her happiest because she gets to dress Bella up. Bella doesn’t even recognize herself when she sees what she looks like when Alice is done. After the wedding, Bella keeps feeling like something is off. There was someone missing. But, Edward comes up to her and says he has a surprise. And there was Jacob (a werewolf, the enemy of vampires). After he ran away, Bella had missed him like crazy and was always worried about him. But, she was so happy to see him that she cried like a baby in his arms and messed up all of her makeup. After that, Bella and Edward had to leave for their honeymoon. Edward was keeping where they were going a secret, all Bella knew was that they had to take a plain. When Edward finally told Bella where they were going, Bella was so happy to hear that they would have all the time they wanted together. Isle Esme was a gift from Carlisle (Edwards “dad”) to Esme (Edwards “mom”) and Edward and Bella had it all to themselves. During their time on the island, Bella ends up getting pregnant. Neither of them saw it coming because Edward didn’t think vampires could get humans pregnant. So, they both raced home to get Bella to Carlisle so he can help them. They find out that the baby is half human half vampire, and they find out that in order to keep the baby from eating Bella from the inside out, Bella has to drink cups of blood. When Bella takes the first sip, normally she would have passed out, (because she passes out at the sight of blood) but she actually asks for more and says its really good, which is really disgusting. As the pregnancy continues, the baby keeps growing much faster than a human baby and Carlisle has to keep guessing when the due date will be. Jacob and his wolf pack knew about the baby and wanted it destroyed before it had a chance to hurt anyone. But Jacob knew Bella would be stubborn about it, so he gave up trying to convince her to have the baby destroyed. Most of Jacobs pack had already imprinted (found a mate, so to say) and Jacob was wondering if there was anyone out there for him other than Bella (who would soon become “one of them” as Jacob would say) and they would never be together. Not that they were ever meant to be together in the first place. The baby is finally born, and during the process, Bella almost dies. Edward turns her into a vampire, and when the changing process was done, and when Bella hugged Edward, Bella was surprised to hear Edward say ouch (because vampires are pretty much indestructible and have skin like stone.) Bella still looked a little like Bella, but her eyes were dark red, her skin was like marble, she could see everything perfectly clear, she could hear everything, and she didn’t feel the need to breath. Emmet, the biggest and strongest of the Cullen’s, challenged Bella to an arm wrestle him. Bella didn’t even realize they had started until she heard Emmet breathing heavily and pushing on her arm, so Bella knew she was a lot stronger and faster than the rest of them. The Volturi (the Italian vampire coven) had found out about Bella and the baby, (who they had named Reneesme, after Bella‘s mother Renee, and Esme) and wanted to come to see them. Alice saw that they didn’t just want to come to see Bella and Reneesme, they wanted to do something more, something bad. And they were bringing the whole coven. So, Alice and Jasper just run off, and no one knows why. Bella finds out that she has a special ability like Edward and Alice, and so does Reneesme. Bella can protect everyone from the other vampires powers with a force field, and Reneesme can share her thoughts and what she sees with people by touching them. The Cullen’s end up inviting vampires from all over the world to come face the Volturi with them, and the wolf pack come as well. Ok, back to when Jacob thought he would never find anyone to imprint on, well, he finds someone. And it’s someone very unexpected. He imprints on Reneesme. And when Bella finds out about this, at first she was furious, and now she poses as a threat to Jacob because she is a lot stronger than him now. But, she gets over it and is glad that Jacob can be a part of the family. When the Volturi come, Bella keeps her force field around everyone at all times because she knows the Volturi is a lot stronger than they are, and their strongest weapons are their powers. The Volturi end up leaving in peace, and Bella and her new family can live out their lives peacefully. Alice and Jasper return, and everything, for once, is perfect.
This was the last book in the Twilight series, and the longest. It was full of ups and downs and twists and turns. But I loved it. Stephenie Meyer is a great author, and I loved the whole series. I also saw Twilight the movie, and I loved it. Now, New moon, the second of the Twilight books, is being made into a movie and I can’t wait. Bella overreacts most of the time, and I always want to scream at her because she doesn’t get that she has all of these great people around her, and she’s always in a bad mood. Well, not mad, but she could be happier every once in a while. And Edward is always acting like he is doing something wrong and is always so mad at himself. But, they put all of that aside each time, and forget about it because they have more important things too look forward to.
First of all, this book is about the Red Scare and the incredible persecution of communists in the Salem Witch Trials (It sounds weird, but it eventually makes sense). That is what I knew when I started reading the book. So the story begins talking about Reverend Parris who is a self-centered person, and about the town called Salem in Massachusetts. The people are very, very religious Puritans. It says in the book they think they hold the candle that will light the world. Enough about that. So, it begins in a bedroom with the Reverend by the bed and his daughter Betty, on the bed, "unconscious." The conflict develops about the fact that the Reverend's niece, Abigail, was dancing nude in the woods with Betty conjuring. The Reverend calls Reverend Hale of Beverly, a very famous man, who is good at determining witchcraft, and devilish related ideals. He comes, and with the aid of others, determines that their servant, Tituba was conjuring as well. It leads into this whole fake, where Betty and Abigail shout names of servants of the devil. Meanwhile, people in the room like John Proctor, Mr. and Mrs. Putnam (who also have a "soul-lost" daughter Ruth, Rebecca Nurse, and Giles Corey. The second act begins with the discussion of John Proctor and his wife Elizabeth. They talk about (calmly) his previous cheating on her with young Abigail. Then later, the Reverend of Beverly arrives. He asks questions about their knowledge of the commandments and their attendance to the Sabbath services. Then, the sherif (I think of Cheevers) enters with a warrant for Elizabeth. This is after Giles Corey and Francis Nurse enter, saying their wives has been arrested and charged by Abigail, who was in the court. Oh, by the way, the Proctor's servant, Mary Warren, comes home from court as an official, and gives Elizabeth with a needle in the stomach. Well, Cheevers wants any "poppets" they have, and she gives the one Mary Warren gave her. He was surprised by the needle in the stomach, and said that Abigail had gotten a needle in her at lunch when she screamed and Cheevers said that Elizabeth's spirt pushed it in. John is extremely angry and demands that Mary Warren go to the court with him tomorrow and demand that Abigail stuck the needle into her body to sabotage his wife.
This book is a real analogy to the Red Scare. At least, that is what I can see so far. It is a good book, and I do like it because of the style it is written or for its original purpose. Reading a play is much faster and more engaging that reading standard text. But, their is probably a different view point if all you read are plays, it would just be the same. Anyway, it is enjoyable to read, but I am wondering when actual communism will play the role of witchcraft. Their have been mentions of Red Hell, and one or two uses of communism, but not in full fledge purpose.

okay so this book is about a whole bunch of mean girls. the way it starts is there is this one really rich girl, massie. there is another girl who is going to be living in her guest house, named claire. claire is kinda dorky compared to massie. massie has three best friends. alecia - the beauty. kristen - the smarty. dylan - the sort of fatty. NO ONE comes between those four. until claire comes along. claire honestly tries to make new friends, but the people in that really preppy girls school are just mean. for instance, the one girl alecia put a bloch of red paint on claires pants to make it look like she just got her period, and that was really mean. and then so claire goes on massie's screen name, and is like "omg claires my best friend we are wearing this and this and this tomorrow." so then all the girls except massie wear that and they all are like ?!??! but then they find out that claire was the one talking to them and bust her for it in a really mean way. they do a five person call and bust claire out and stuff. then claire becomes friends with this girl layne so then everything is all goooood.

this portion of the book was quite interesting. if you don't like science however, this is not a book for you. everything is extremely detailed in terms of science, and there are so many lists. i think that is what makes the book so long.

She & her ex-bestfriend Clarke were spending there summers at the pool, and the new girl was following Annabel's sister around. Finally, Annabels sister, Kristen, flips on the new girl and the new girl storms out of the pool. Clarke and Annabel go to the girls house to give her her things that she left at the pool and so on. The afternoon after school, she has a modeling shoot to go to & her mother and her other sister, Whitney, show up. She then goes into telling us how her and all her sisters are models and that her sister Whitney became horribly anorexic and the story behind that. Her two sisters still wont even talk to each other. Her family lives in a basically glass house & Annabel likes to point out how from outside, the people looking in see a perfect family eating dinner, whens its so much different then that.
I like the book so far. I'm not far into it yet but I want to know why everyone hates her!

(nothing much happens yet) This kid Eddie Dickens has parents that are very ill. The sicknes made them turn yellow and smell like old hot water. He thinks the disease has been spreading around and it might have something to due with the deap fog. Eddie Dickens asks a lot of anoying questions and there is no point to the questions. For example, he asks why the ice cubes his mom is sucking on look like a general from a book he read. His dad is really pissed off at him. He notices the little things like there are no polyester filled duvets with washable covers. Eddie's mom is now in the hospital and she is getting sicker.
Wow i hate this book and im going to stop reading it. Its boring as crap and has no plot just a kid rambling on about nothing pretty much. I will start a new book in the next few days.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard
J. K. Rowling
Alexander S. Kaplitz
Vocab words - admixture, vex, hector, vie, odyssey, avaricious, junoesque
This book is a admixture of short stories. At the end of each story J. K. Rowling has a interpretation by Dumbledore saying what each story means. The first story is The Wizard and the Hopping Pot. In this story a wizard's father helps the muggles with all their problems. This makes the son angry. When the father dies the father gives the son a slipper which vexes the son. When a muggle asks for the boys help the son says no. Then the pot, which the father made everything to help the muggles, starts hectoring the son. When the son can not stand it any more he helps all the villagers. In the interpretation the moral of the story was that you should help muggles whenever you can. The moral of the story which can apply to the real world is that you should help everyone know matter what race they are. The next story was The Fountain of Fair Fortune. In this story people vie over having the chance to go to a fountain. 3 witches win along with a knight. They go up the hill and are met with three challenges. All the challenges show how badly they want to go to the fountain and how much they need to go to the fountain. When they get to the fountain all of there wishes come true. The fountain wasn't magical at all it was there efforts in the odyssey. The moral of the story was that you have to work hard to get what you want. The next story was The Warlock's Hairy Hart. A guy is very avaricious and sees love as a threat. So, he uses dark magic to remove his heart. When he rules the palace and gets everything he wants people still pity him because he has not found his lover. So the man asks for a wife and the next day a junoesque women comes to the castle. He asks for her hand in marriage and she says yes. When they have a feast the man show his heart to her. When she freaks out he kills her then kills himself. The moral of that story was don't let Dark Magic control you. The real moral was don't let greed control you. The next story was Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump. In this story a king wants all the wizards and witches killed. So he sends hounds on them. But, he would save one so that he himself could learn magic. A muggle then says he is a wizard and asks for gold to pay for the wands. When the king gives him the gold the muggle just takes a branch and says that it is a wand. When they are "practicing" a real witch watches and laughs. The king then says to the muggle that he would show of her skills in front of everyone though all the king was doing is a little trick the muggle has. The muggle then says to the witch that she has to do everything the king wants her to do. At the demonstration someone dies. The witch cant bring her back to life so the king looks like a fool. The king spots the witch and says she is preventing him to do his tricks. She then turns into a rabbit and hides in a tree she also formed. Then she says that the king has to stop killing the wizards and stop learning magic. There was no moral to the story that she gave. The next story was The Tale of the Three Brothers. In this story three brothers cheat death. He wants them dead but he acts like it is a reward. He asks everyone what they want. One asks for an unbeatable wand. That wand gets him killed and Death got him to die. Once asked for something to bring back the dead. That one brought them halfway so, he killed himself out of the pain he saw. The third one asked for a invisibility cloak. That one he kid away from death in till he was old and he lived a long life. The moral of the story was that you should not try to cheat death.
This was a bad book because it was just short stories with fake interpretations. Writing this blog was even painful so it is sloppy and bad. It was fake and short but, it was key to the books.
Holocaust Web Note-Taking thing
Jeremy Novick
Introduction-1939
Hitler was named the 'president' in January 30th 1933. They named the concentration camps the "fire in Reichstag". The Germans foreign policy consisted of a thing called 'coordination'- people with Nazi goals. Hitler came to power after the president Paul von Hinderberg died. Hitler is named head of state, head of government, and head of the Nazi party. Women were in charge of finding racially 'pure' children. The great race was 'Aryons'. Someone tried to kill Hitler on July 20th 1944.Jews were stripped of their medical liscenses, their businesses, and doctors couldn't treat people other than Jewish people. The were taxed a 1.5 percent quota. They were not allowed to be named on a world war 2 wall memorial. Jews weren't allowed to act. The had to wear things that defined who they were like a J, or a star, or a card. Jews couldn't go to college and if they did they had to stand the whole time. The one in charge of the camps was Himmler who chose Theodore Eicke as his camp inspector. There were laws made to regect jews from the social enviorment. At the olympic games, the Nazi's took down the no Jews allowed signs so they wouldn't be critized on how they were treating the Jews.
It is awful what happened to these people. They didn't deserve this cruel treatment. I think it's kind of weird that i'm related to people who died in the Holocaust. Maybe most jewish people are related to people who were in it but i dont know. Probly not

this book starts out with the main character, Remmy, sitting in a car dealership. This is where her soon to be fifth step father works. Her mom is a "famous" author, and her dad was a famous musician. The reason that this book is called "this lullaby" is because when Remmy's dad found out that he had a daughter, he wrote her that song, and now its popular and played everywhere. So when Remmy is in the dealership this one kid comes and sits next to her and hits on her and writes his name (which is Dexter) and his number on Remmy's hand. Later on remmy meets up with her friends Chloe, Jess, and Lissa, who all just graduated highschool. Lissa goes off to find her boyfriend and bring him to the party, and the other three just go to the party from where they met up. at the party remmy runs in to dexter again and he introduces himself to her friends. Then when he leaves [turns out he's in the band thats playing at the party] remmy's boyfriend, who shes planning to breakup with, Jonathan comes along. Jonathan takes remmy to his house where she finds some other chick's underwhere and figures out jonathan has been sleeping with someone else, she broke up with him then. Then remmy goes back to the party to find lissa all hunched up in a ball in the back of a car seeat with chloe and jess outside. turns out lissa's boyfriend broke up with her too. So then they drive past where her exboyfriend is standing and remmy dumps her icy cold soda on his head. it was quite funny [: when remmy goes to work the next day one of davids band members comes into the salon where remmy works and informs her that david never stops taking about her.
this book is really good because soooooo many things go on at once. there are different situations with remmy's brother chris, who i forgot to mention because hes not that important yet. and with remmys friends and her mom, and even herself. so i really just want to see how everything turns out because im interested.

Eventually, the Jews are confined to small gettos, crowded together into narrow streets behind barbed-wire fences.
The Nazis then begin to deport the Jews in increments, and Eliezer's family is among the last to leave Sighet. They watch as other Jews are crowded into the streets in the hot sun, carrying only what fits in packs on their backs. Eliezer's family is first herded into another, smaller ghetto. Their former servant, a gentile named Martha, visits them and offers to hide them in her village. Tragically, they decline the offer. A few days later, the Nazis and their henchmen, the Hungarian police, herd the last Jews remaining in Sighet onto cattle cars bound for Auschwitz.

Elie Wiesel

Vocab Words - indigenous, taciturn, ken, pithy
In this book a holocaust survivor writes about his experience with his father in the holocaust. The book starts out with Eli being twelve years old. He is studying the Talmud and is very religious. He wants to study the cabala but, his father says no. His father is very religious and is always in the affairs of the Jewish community. After Eli's father says no Eli finds a man named Moshe or Hebrew for Moses. The man teaches Eli before he has to go away because the Nazi's made a law saying non indigenous, Jews have to leave. Moshe escapes the Nazis and tries to warn the town of Signet that the Nazi's are bad but, the town thinks he lost his mind. Then Moshe becomes taciturn. Then the Hungarian government falls to the fascists. The Nazi's come to the town of Signet and force people to live in ghettos. After that they move people out of the town. A former servant of Eli's father asks them if they want to leave with her but, the decline because no one knew the tragedy that would soon befall on them. When on the train to someplace else a women screams that she sees a fire and she would not stop. People beat her up in till she stops screaming. When the train stops they see that they have arrived at Birkenau, the "reception" counter of Auschwitz. A person tell Eli and his father to lie about their ages. Eli says that he is eighteen and his father says that he is forty. They both are saved and move to a worker camp. People are praying to god but, it is out of Eli's ken. Why would you be praying to a god who is letting this happen? Then they are sent to Buna, a labor camp. At Buma the dentist searches for a gold filling. Eli has a gold filling but, gets out of it being removed by faking sick. The dentist then get killed for selling some of the gold filling so, Eli believes that he will be able to keep his gold filling. Eli's Kapo, Idek, is prone to violence and beats Eli's father. Instead of feeling anger to the Kapo he feels anger to his father for being attacked. There you can see that Eli is changing. Franek then sees Eli's gold filling. Franek wants it so he beats Eli's father until Eli is willing to give it up. Eli eventually gives up his gold filling. Eli sees Idek having sex and raping another women. Idek sees Eli and then beats him. When Yom Kipper comes up Eli does not fast because he is starting to lose his faith with god. Then there is another selection. Eli fears that his number will get marked down and it doesn't but, his father's number is marked down. During the second selection Eli's father passes. Eli's foot then freezes and he needs an operation. Eli's hospital neighbor says that Eli should leave as soon as possible. While Eli was at the hospital the prisoners had to be moved. The Nazi's gave Eli a choose to stay but, Eli said no because he thought they would kill him. Little did he know that the people who stayed were then liberated. When they left everyone had to run. If you stopped you were shot. When they reached their destination Eli was next to a violin player who played his last song as he was dying. When they are put in the trains Germans throw bread on the train. This caused a son to kill his father for the bread. Eli's father is now getting sick and narrowly escaped being killed. Eli's father then dies and then Eli says nothing else is as important. When Eli is liberated he wants to find a mirror because he hasn't seen himself since he was captured. When he sees himself he sees a dead body looking back at him. This signifies that he lost everyone and the person he was before is dead.
Eli basically wrote a pithy response to what happened to you in the holocaust. This book was short yet memorable. I feel more ashamed that I skimmed the book to begin with because this was one of the best books I have ever read. The writer made everything seem very personal and at the end of the book it was like it was me and my dad that was going through this horrible time.

Okay so in the beginning of this book Elie is living at his home with his dad and mom and three sisters. They hear from someone called Moche the Beadle that he was taken to a concentration camp and they kill people. Then they german officers come in and force everyone into ghettos. Then they start transporting people out of the ghettos. Elie and his family are the last to be transported out of the ghettos. When they get to the concentration camp, a prisoner tells them to lie about there ages so they become workers together. They start working at a lightbulb factory together. There are hangings of people and babies being burned and Elie gets disturbed by these things. One day there's an air raid on the camp. Many things get destroyed.
This book is hood so far . It's nice to see what the holocaust was like from Someone who was there.

I have not been blogging too often this month. To make up for that, I am going to try to blog almost every other day this week. After this one, I think I have two left for the month. I also have not been reading my other book because I have been “busy”. Night was probably the first historical book I have read. It starts off in Elie’s town. Over there, he meets moche the beadle. Moche the beadle gets deported. When the beadle comes back, he tries to tell the whole town of what had happened to him and what was going to happen to them. No one believed him, but he was right. Elie and his family, along with the rest of the town, got transferred into a ghetto. This place was not roomy at all, and there were poor living conditions. One day Elie’s father is telling stories to the neighbors while he is summoned to a council meeting. After he gets back from the meeting, the father tells everyone that they are going to be moved to another location again. In the morning, Elie and his family get on the train. They do not know where they are going. During the train ride, one of the women on the train screams that she sees a fire. She is beaten. The next day, she does it again. She is still beaten. When the train arrives, the ironic thing is that the woman was right. There was a huge incinerator at the camp that they were at, that was burning people…. Hi, my name is rahi. If you didn’t catch this, you probably aren’t reading this. Just making sure…. Elie was separated from his mother and three sisters. After the separation, there is the selection. Elie and his father lie about their job and age in order to get past the first point. From there, they are taken to a working camp. At the working camp, Elie and his father meet one of their relatives. He asks about his family. Elie lies to him, and says they are fine. Then comes the air strike. During the air strike, some of the prisoners go out try to get some more soup. After the air strike some of the people that tried to steal the soup are hanged. The fourth chapter ends with another hanging. The hanging of god. In the fifth chapter, there is another selection. Both Elie and his father pass the selection. In the sixed chapter, Elie’s leg gets infected. It is taken care of. In the following chapters, the following things happen. Elie, his father, and the rest of the camp have to run. If you stop, you get shot. When they reach the camp, Elie’s friend plays the violin for the dying people. They are transported on a train to another camp. On the train, everyone fights over bread that the ss threw in. when they arrive at the new camp, Elie’s father dies. In the end, everyone gets liberated.
I think this was a good book because it was a graphic book. It was well written. You could really feel for elie.

pages to around 150 ish =D
so far in this book so much has been going on. remy's mom is getting mairried, she falls in loves with a dork after learning her boyfriend slept with another girl, and she's going to college in the fall. Remy's mom's marriage went well, as did her honey moon. Dexter is still quite involved with remy, except for now she's deccided to accept the fact that she returns his feeling. shes really quite in love with him too. She hangs out with him all the time at his "summer house" with his band members [he's in a band, by the way!]. Remy has never wanted to really get involved with a guy so she knows how to dump one. but for some reason she just cannot seem to let go of dexter. Another thing is that remy's older brother, chris, is getting really involved with this girl named jennifer anne. They are together ALL the time, he goes over her appartment for dinner every night too. He used to be a drug addict and got arrested and all of that, but now he's wearing suits and correcting people's grammar and such. A WHOLLEEEE lot is going in in this book, especially for remy and she's really handling it sort of well. The thing that she keeps bringing up is how, if, she's going to dump dexter.
i hope that remy doesnt dump dexter because he seems really cool <33[: but anyway, it's like when you read about how remy's feeling it's almost like you're going through it too and you can really feel for her. its a really good book, and its easy to read =D

Pages 44-78
Elie is transferred out of the same block as his father and is now hauling around heavy cement blocks all day. Winter is approaching, so it's extremely cold outside. Soon, Elie is losing all feeling in his foot. He goes to the doctor and the doctor tells him that he'll need surgery and won't be out of the informati for a fortnight. After his surgery, he finds out that the camp is to be evacuated. He has to make the decision whether or not to make his father pretend to be a doctor on the hospital or to just go on with the evacuation. Thinking that they'll killthr infirmary patients, Elie and his father evacuate. He finds out after the war that the people in the infirmary were evacuated 3 days after. With a bad foot and it constantly snowing outside and limited food and water supplies, the struggle for survival is hard. People are dropping like flies. After a few days, everyone relaxs
In a shed to get out of the cold. Elie has a friend Juliek who decides to spend his last few hours playing Beethoven on his violin for the dead and the dying. Then a train comes to take the survivors to Buchenwald. Elie's train starts off with 100 people and when they reach Buchenwald, twelve are left. The people were in the train for six days, freezing cold with no food, so when the train stops, people find it amusing you throw bread at the people in the trains and watch them trample each other for it. At the camp, Elies father is dying and keeps asking for water. On January 28th, his father is replaced with a new
Prisoner. Eventually, after a few months, they get liberated. Elie looks at himself in the mirror for the first time since the ghetto, and he says that image stayed with him forever.
This book was good, buy very sad. It was depressing that Elies father dies and that they could have survived if they would have stayed at the infirmary.

13 Reasons Why
Finished
This book was about a girl named Hannah Baker and a boy named Clay Jensen. Clay had received a package full of cassette tapes, each with two sides and a number painted in nail polish at the top. They were numbered 1-13. When Clay played the first tape, the voice he heard startled him. It was Hannah. But, the startling part was that Hannah had committed suicide. Hannah tells him that he is one of thirteen people who will receive these tapes, and that, in receiving them in the first place, they, in some way, are responsible for her death. As Clay listens to the tapes, he keeps wanting them to end, but he also wants to find out why he is on the tapes. He had never really known Hannah. One night at a party they talked for a while and ended up kissing, but that was it. Clay had always liked Hannah, he thought she was amazing. But, he never got a chance to talk to her after the party because, well, she killed herself. The tapes go on, and Clay finds himself following a map of their town all night, listening to where Hannah tells him to go. He finds out the Hannah got her first kiss from a guy that ends up making her life miserable and going along with the all the people that make fun of her and ignore her. He finds out that he witnessed a fatal car accident right in front of her old house where an old married couple now live. He finds out so many things he would have never guess would have happened to Hannah. When he finally gets to the last tape, he is sitting in his friend Tony’s car. Tony has the second set of tapes that Hannah had mentioned in the beginning. She said that if anyone that didn’t get the tapes found out about them, they would come out and everyone would find out about them. Clay’s part in all of this was that he was someone she could actually talk to. And he was the reason she went to that party. She wanted to see him. They ended up talking, and then they kissed, but Hannah told him to stop. So, Clay stopped and walked away after a few minutes of trying to ask if everything was okay. He regretted walking away, but she had already made up her mind. The last tape is of Hannah walking down the hallway to the guidance counselors office. She says if he can’t do anything, then it’s official. So, they talk for a while, and then the counselor starts asking questions, and getting Hannah to open up. The counselor tells her to do something, let what has been happening go. And, then, Hannah just says that she knows what she is going to do, and walks out of the room. The counselor just sits there and lets her leave. Clay is screaming out loud at the counselor to get up and stop her, but that never happened. The last tape was her saying what she was going to do, and then she says “I’m sorry.” And that was the end of the tape. The seventh tape only had her saying two words, her last two words, the last two words anyone would ever hear her say ever again. She just said “thank you.” And that was it.
I absolutely loved this book. Jay Asher is a new author, and this is his only book. It was a great book. There wasn’t much dialogue other than Hannah talking and Clay talking to himself. But that was a smart idea. Clay is just walking around the town, following where Hannah leads him all night. In some parts, I wanted to yell at Hannah or the people that basically killed herself for her. It’s not right to be friends with someone on day, and talk trash about them the next. Sometimes it was hard to keep up wit Hannah because she was all over the place, bringing people up many times but in different ways and in different situations. But, I loved this book. I could actually hear a voice behind the words and I could hear the emotions behind them. I hope Jay Asher writes another book. And, did I mention that I loved this book? Because I really, really did.

(my bad, I forgot to blog about it! silly silly me.)
okay, In Night, It started out as Elie telling about his friend, moche the beadle. He is a holocaust survivor. Later in the book, Elie's dad is sent to a meeting where the find out that they are being deported. The next few nights they are moved into the small ghetto and later sent to Auchwitz. On the train, a friend of Elie's family went "crazy" and was talking of great fires. The people on the train beat her. When they arrive at the concentration camp, the realize she was right and they see the crematory. When Elie's family gets in line for selection he is told to say he is 18 and to not say he was a student, and his father would say he is 40 so they would stay alive and together. They were then sent to a working camp. In the next chapter, There was an airstrike on the camp and prisoners tried to steal food, they were then hanged. As well as in the next chapter. In the next chapter, Elie's foot got infected. He was then taken care of by a doctor. Elie and his father were told to run literally for their lives. they were then sent to another camp, then his dad died and the Jew's reach liberation.
I actually loved this book. It was very informative and personal. I really felt the sorrow, grief, and emotions from Elie during this period of his life.

okat so where i left of we were talking about alll the changes in remy's life. which i think is basically the premise of the novel. So many things go on with remy that are different from before, like a possibly long term boyfriend, a non druggy/criminal brother, and her moms marriage seems like it may not last, and to top it all off remy leaves for college in august, and no one but her seems to care. Except for dexter. What really made remy mad was when she picked up set of forks and spoons and knives for dexter's house. this is because he only has one ceramic plate, and one spoon, and a couple glasses, but everything else is paper or plastic. this made her mad because she thought that it made their relationship more long term. which for remy isnt good. her friend lisa is also going to college and has to go dorm shopping following her roommate's list for color coordination. oh how fun /:
so this book really keeps you on your toes because if you skip a paragraph, or page, or anything [not that i have tried] you get really confused because almost EVERYTHING comes back in the course of the novel. so you really have to pay attention.

Chapters 1-4
From the beginning of the book, (Elie) is portrayed as the main char Eliezer acter. He lives in Sighet Hungary, as a young Jewish boy looking to become a scholar. He is studying the Cabbala and the Talmud all about Jewish Mysticism. He asks his father, for a teacher and his response is that he is too young. He then goes to this man, Moshe the Beetle. He learns from Moshe until one day when all foreign Jews were being forced on a train too leave. He finds that they kill everyone of them, but Moshe escapes. He makes his way back warning everyone of the danger. Although he was respected, people ignored his warnings, which turns out to be a big mistake in future times. After Hitler takes over, the Nazi army occupies Hungary. They seem nice and people take them as O.K. or in some cases, like friends. Later, the ghettoization begins. Elizer's family is kept inside the very walls of the ghetto, and then his family is moved to the smaller local ghetto. From this point, it was just wait to see what was going to happen. The following day the people of this ghetto were herded onto a train that was headed for Auchwitz. On the train, past the Chec. border, the people are threatened to be killed if they don't give their valuables over. During the ride, a lady named Madam Schachter begins to scream of a fire outside of the window. She keeps doing it constantly, although nothing is their. Later they tie her up and gag her, and even hit her. They arrive at Auchwitz and find out what is going on. Later they move on to Birkinau. They see fire however, the fire from the furnaces burning human bodies. When they arrive, they are put through a selection that is meant to determine the weak and unworkable from the stronger and workable. Elizer and his father are separated from his mother, and three sisters who he will never see again. He and his father lie about their ages, to say they are O.K. He is scared to death when he sees the crematory and is then shuffled into barracks. They are bathed and clothed and told to work or be killed. Meanwhile his father is beaten because he asked to use the bathroom. When someone a while later asks for them, the meet a distant relative named Stein. He wonders is they know is his wife and children are o.k. Elizer, not knowing, lies and says they are o.k. He then visits Elizer and his father multiple times with a ration of bread for them. Later they begin the long journey to Buna. When they arrived, their was a crown search which Elie passed and kept his gold crown by trying to post pone the doctor from pulling it out. The doctor is taken away, but he gets to keep his crown. They are put to work in an electric warehouse, were the angry Kapo Idek beats him for seeing him sexually using a girl later in the book. They are kept with musicians, where Elie meets Juliek and Franek the head and, two brothers who he works with Yosi and Tibi. He also meets Akiba Drummer. Franek, the musician notices Eliezer's crown, which sparks his demand of it. He beats his father during marches, until Eleizer finally gives in. Later, an air raid occurs where two huge cauldrons of soup are left. A man runs out, where he sticks his head into the smoldering pot. This causes jealousy when he got to the soup by the others. After this point, two important hangings occur. The first consists of a man who stole something. This was shown during the roll call one morning. (Eliezer also notes that the soup he had tasted good that day) The second was of a resistance member and the man's servant. When this happened, the boy, was not killed instantly, and struggled under the noose. (Here, he notes the soup did not taste good). The people said that God was being hung with the boy because this kind of thing was going on.

2nd Paragraph
This book is great. I like it because of the way Elie Wisel tells the story. He uses himself, a character in this horrible time, to expel all of the devastating actions of the time. Since I have finished the book already, I really do like the book. The story is not just a story but connects things overtime. It absolutely makes you think about what something means.

Breaking Dawn
Kristen
All
Breaking Dawn starts out with Bella Swan driving her “before-car” and she is complaining to herself how Edward Cullen (her fiancé) is always getting her nice things when he knows she hates presents. The next day, she’ll be getting married to Edward, and not long after that, she hopes the Cullen’s will change her into a vampire like them. When it’s time to get ready, Alice, (Edwards “sister”) is at her happiest because she gets to dress Bella up. Bella doesn’t even recognize herself when she sees what she looks like when Alice is done. After the wedding, Bella keeps feeling like something is off. There was someone missing. But, Edward comes up to her and says he has a surprise. And there was Jacob (a werewolf, the enemy of vampires). After he ran away, Bella had missed him like crazy and was always worried about him. But, she was so happy to see him that she cried like a baby in his arms and messed up all of her makeup. After that, Bella and Edward had to leave for their honeymoon. Edward was keeping where they were going a secret, all Bella knew was that they had to take a plain. When Edward finally told Bella where they were going, Bella was so happy to hear that they would have all the time they wanted together. Isle Esme was a gift from Carlisle (Edwards “dad”) to Esme (Edwards “mom”) and Edward and Bella had it all to themselves. During their time on the island, Bella ends up getting pregnant. Neither of them saw it coming because Edward didn’t think vampires could get humans pregnant. So, they both raced home to get Bella to Carlisle so he can help them. They find out that the baby is half human half vampire, and they find out that in order to keep the baby from eating Bella from the inside out, Bella has to drink cups of blood. When Bella takes the first sip, normally she would have passed out, (because she passes out at the sight of blood) but she actually asks for more and says its really good, which is really disgusting. As the pregnancy continues, the baby keeps growing much faster than a human baby and Carlisle has to keep guessing when the due date will be. Jacob and his wolf pack knew about the baby and wanted it destroyed before it had a chance to hurt anyone. But Jacob knew Bella would be stubborn about it, so he gave up trying to convince her to have the baby destroyed. Most of Jacobs pack had already imprinted (found a mate, so to say) and Jacob was wondering if there was anyone out there for him other than Bella (who would soon become “one of them” as Jacob would say) and they would never be together. Not that they were ever meant to be together in the first place. The baby is finally born, and during the process, Bella almost dies. Edward turns her into a vampire, and when the changing process was done, and when Bella hugged Edward, Bella was surprised to hear Edward say ouch (because vampires are pretty much indestructible and have skin like stone.) Bella still looked a little like Bella, but her eyes were dark red, her skin was like marble, she could see everything perfectly clear, she could hear everything, and she didn’t feel the need to breath. Emmet, the biggest and strongest of the Cullen’s, challenged Bella to an arm wrestle him. Bella didn’t even realize they had started until she heard Emmet breathing heavily and pushing on her arm, so Bella knew she was a lot stronger and faster than the rest of them. The Volturi (the Italian vampire coven) had found out about Bella and the baby, (who they had named Reneesme, after Bella‘s mother Renee, and Esme) and wanted to come to see them. Alice saw that they didn’t just want to come to see Bella and Reneesme, they wanted to do something more, something bad. And they were bringing the whole coven. So, Alice and Jasper just run off, and no one knows why. Bella finds out that she has a special ability like Edward and Alice, and so does Reneesme. Bella can protect everyone from the other vampires powers with a force field, and Reneesme can share her thoughts and what she sees with people by touching them. The Cullen’s end up inviting vampires from all over the world to come face the Volturi with them, and the wolf pack come as well. Ok, back to when Jacob thought he would never find anyone to imprint on, well, he finds someone. And it’s someone very unexpected. He imprints on Reneesme. And when Bella finds out about this, at first she was furious, and now she poses as a threat to Jacob because she is a lot stronger than him now. But, she gets over it and is glad that Jacob can be a part of the family. When the Volturi come, Bella keeps her force field around everyone at all times because she knows the Volturi is a lot stronger than they are, and their strongest weapons are their powers. The Volturi end up leaving in peace, and Bella and her new family can live out their lives peacefully. Alice and Jasper return, and everything, for once, is perfect.
This was the last book in the Twilight series, and the longest. It was full of ups and downs and twists and turns. But I loved it. Stephenie Meyer is a great author, and I loved the whole series. I also saw Twilight the movie, and I loved it. Now, New moon, the second of the Twilight books, is being made into a movie and I can’t wait. Bella overreacts most of the time, and I always want to scream at her because she doesn’t get that she has all of these great people around her, and she’s always in a bad mood. Well, not mad, but she could be happier every once in a while. And Edward is always acting like he is doing something wrong and is always so mad at himself. But, they put all of that aside each time, and forget about it because they have more important things too look forward to.

The Crucible
Acts 1 & 2
First of all, this book is about the Red Scare and the incredible persecution of communists in the Salem Witch Trials (It sounds weird, but it eventually makes sense). That is what I knew when I started reading the book. So the story begins talking about Reverend Parris who is a self-centered person, and about the town called Salem in Massachusetts. The people are very, very religious Puritans. It says in the book they think they hold the candle that will light the world. Enough about that. So, it begins in a bedroom with the Reverend by the bed and his daughter Betty, on the bed, "unconscious." The conflict develops about the fact that the Reverend's niece, Abigail, was dancing nude in the woods with Betty conjuring. The Reverend calls Reverend Hale of Beverly, a very famous man, who is good at determining witchcraft, and devilish related ideals. He comes, and with the aid of others, determines that their servant, Tituba was conjuring as well. It leads into this whole fake, where Betty and Abigail shout names of servants of the devil. Meanwhile, people in the room like John Proctor, Mr. and Mrs. Putnam (who also have a "soul-lost" daughter Ruth, Rebecca Nurse, and Giles Corey. The second act begins with the discussion of John Proctor and his wife Elizabeth. They talk about (calmly) his previous cheating on her with young Abigail. Then later, the Reverend of Beverly arrives. He asks questions about their knowledge of the commandments and their attendance to the Sabbath services. Then, the sherif (I think of Cheevers) enters with a warrant for Elizabeth. This is after Giles Corey and Francis Nurse enter, saying their wives has been arrested and charged by Abigail, who was in the court. Oh, by the way, the Proctor's servant, Mary Warren, comes home from court as an official, and gives Elizabeth with a needle in the stomach. Well, Cheevers wants any "poppets" they have, and she gives the one Mary Warren gave her. He was surprised by the needle in the stomach, and said that Abigail had gotten a needle in her at lunch when she screamed and Cheevers said that Elizabeth's spirt pushed it in. John is extremely angry and demands that Mary Warren go to the court with him tomorrow and demand that Abigail stuck the needle into her body to sabotage his wife.

Second Paragraph
This book is a real analogy to the Red Scare. At least, that is what I can see so far. It is a good book, and I do like it because of the style it is written or for its original purpose. Reading a play is much faster and more engaging that reading standard text. But, their is probably a different view point if all you read are plays, it would just be the same. Anyway, it is enjoyable to read, but I am wondering when actual communism will play the role of witchcraft. Their have been mentions of Red Hell, and one or two uses of communism, but not in full fledge purpose.
