Holocaust book club reflections

     In my book Night  the main character Elie Wiesel repeatedly showed he loved his father. When they first got to the concentration camp he did not want to get separated from his father. Through out the book they gave many examples of Elie not wanting to leave his fathers side. Like when they were in the concentration camp he always wanted to be with his father. When they got out of the cattle car Elie’s father was sent to a line were people that could not walk well were sent and Elie saved him from being killed, the reason why he went back for him was because they had gotten separated. Another time when Elie kept his farther alive was when they were in the death marches and Elie’s father wanted to take a nap but Elie did not allow him because he said his father was the reason for him living. This shows that he did not want to be left alone. These examples also show how Elie always had his fathers back and he would care for him. This teaches me to care and have my families back no ma

Book Club Blog Post

I have had many feeling through out the book. In the beginning of the book I was feeling not really feeling many things just because  my book focused on the life of the Jews before the Holocaust. Once the book got more in depth I started to feel bad for how Elie would describe his experiences. I would also feel anxious at some parts. I would feel anxious at parts when Elie’s and his father would get into bad situations. I would also get anxious when Elie and his father got into life or death situations. If I could talk to Elie Wiesel and ask some questions, one question I would ask is was there ever hope that he was going to survive or make it out of the concentration camps alive? I would ask him this question because I think it would be interesting to know what was going on inside his head when he I was in the concentration camps. Another question I would ask Elie is that was there any good memories from before the Holocaust? (Like from his childhood.) I would ask him this because I

Berlin Memorial Activity

    I have learned that during the Holocaust many laws became in act for Jews, and these were called the Nuremberg laws. Many of these laws excluded Jews from doing many activities, as time went by the laws targeted Jews from doing daily things. There were many laws but with the few that I learned they were harsh because some were like they could not have eggs or milk which is very harsh because people need food. Other laws did not allow Jews to go to the beach for example, or had to hand it many things they owned.      I think the Berlin memorial was built to remind people how unfair the Jews had it during those year. I think it also was built to show exactly what the Jews could do and what they couldn’t do. It also shows how many laws there were made, and to remember all the people that died.      One thing I noticed about the laws is that in certain years there were more laws than in others. In some years like 1938 many different laws were passed but  in other years like 1944 no

Quarter 2 reflections

One thing I think I have improved on in ELA is being able to write more and write more in depth. Something challenging is having to read everyday because I would never read every day and now we have to read at least 20 pages a night. The strategy of writing in TIQA format has really helped me a lot because now that is what I follow when I write a paragraph which makes it a lot easier and faster to write a paragraph.

Nonfiction reader response

My book that I have been is about kids who had to go through the ghettos of the Holocaust. The book includes quotes from people that survived the ghettos. I learned many things like how life was in the ghettos. This book explains how things worked in the ghettos and how they suffered. Something I will not forget is how much these kids had to suffer to be able to survive the ghettos.
