Summery and Notes and notice.

So far in the book Karina and Rita are talking and Karina says how she kind of feels bad for the jews. After this some one tips off the Gestapo and says that there is jews in the area. The Gestapo comes to Karina's house in the middle of the night. When they get here they are the ones that stand out the most because Hans hit Karina's father for interfering with the search. Hans comes backs and find the whole in the wall. Karina says it is her own little study room for hitler but he doesn't fall for it. He leaves to get other Gestapo members. Karina's father tells them to pack their things because they are leaving. They leave on bike and the book ends their.

For my Notes and notice, I chose aha moments. I chose this because there was a really big aha moment when Karina realized that Jews aren't bad and terrible. When Karina had her aha moment there was sort of a build up to it because slowly and slowly she would see that they aren't bad, Until she decides to go in the room behind the wall to play with Rachel. The aha moment was when Karina gave a bag of crayons to Rachel. Rachel asked if they were for her said if she is not lying in Karina responded

"Of course why would I lie to you" Her moment of clarity is when Rachael responds to this question-

"Because you don't like jews." This is when she probably thought to herself "Jews aren't even bad, they are just like us and not the enemy and due to my lack of knowledge Rachel thinks I don't like her." That was her biggest aha moment in the book.

Summary and Plot

So far in the book Karina has found out that there are hidden jews behind a wall in the house. She wants to turn her parents in and she writes in her black notebook that her parents were the enemy. But her mom yells at her and Karina doesn't tell on her parents. Since she also missed 3 meetings of the youth Nazi group the leader smacks her.

As the story gets closer and closer to the climax Karina grows a bigger and bigger bond with Rachael. I think that a break through was when Karina went behind the wall to play with Rachael. There was a surprising part in that same chapter because when Karina and Rachel were talking and Karina told her something and Karina said

"Of course why would I lie to you" and the part that surprised me was when Rachael said

"Because you don't like jews." It surprised me because this makes me think that she had lost her innocence at such an early age.

Summerey and Connections to another text

The Book is about a girl named Karina. She is very loyal to Germany and to Hitler. She is in a jewish youth group that brainwashes the kids to turn in people who are helping jews. So far in the Karina is told there is mice in the wall but what there actually is refuge jews. Once she finds out that they are jews hidden behind the bedroom wall she doesn't know weather to turn her parents in. Her loyalties are really tested when someone tips off the Gestapo that there are hidden jews in the area. They come in the middle of the night to search the house. That is where I left off in the book.

I could relate this to many text because there is a lot of of books about the holocaust. But perhaps the one that mostly popped into my head while reading this book was the diary of Ann Frank. The reason that I thought of that book was because in the Diary of Ann Frank she is also hidden in a secret compartment that led to a room up stairs, this kind of the same as Behind the Bedroom wall. I say this because they both have jews behind a bedroom wall. It is also kind of cool when you read both book because one is from a jewish prospective and the other one is from a German prospective and noth the main characters are in the same age so there stories are somewhat similar.

Holocaust Blog

The reason I think that so many people stood by and watched the holocaust happen was for manny reasons. The two main ones were that people were scared of what might happen to them if they did stand up and were up standers for the jews. A reason for this was because people who did this would be sent to one of the camps and killed or they were hung. Another reason people would be up standers is because this wouldn't affect's them or wasn't a threat.  If I were in the Holocaust I could have tried to be an up sander by hiding jews or at least feeding them in the ghettos. If i just sit back i will have this feeling in my stomach that wouldn't let me live with myself.

In my book touching spirit bear there is a teenage boy named Cole. He is very independent in a bad way because he feeds off of other people's fear and anger. His parent are divorced which is probably making things worst for him. His dad is a good lawyer and he has got him out of most of the things that Cole has done. But one day he has finally pushed his luck and gets himself in a big pickle and his dad is letting him take the consequences. He is given 2 choices he can either go to prison or take this other thing called the circle of justice. His punishment will be to spend a full year in isolation. Cole thinks that he can escapes and attempts to but fails miserably He is attacked by a mythical white spirit bear and almost dies. That is where I left off.

I really enjoy reading this type of genre which is fiction. I like reading it because it is fun and it in some way relates to people. I have read books similar to this one. One of them is Hatchet by Gary Pulsen. These books are alike because both kids parents are getting divorced. They are also similar because books are about a teen boy that is in the wilderness alone. Except Touching Spirit Bear Cole is stuck on that island intentionally and as a punishment/rehab for his soul. In Hatchet Brian gets stuck do to an accident but is later saved.

Workers Rights Assessment

 The argument in the article was about how Nike garment workers are being mistreated and are working under unsafe conditions in factories over seas. I know this because in an article it said that 111 workers were killed in a factory fires. These fires were caused by unsafe working conditions and lack of safety inspections. This makes me feel like we live in a world like the hunger game except on a larger scale. The reason I say this is because in the hunger games there is 12 districts and the capital. I imagine the U.S to be the capitol and other third world countries are the different districts. This makes me feel bad because we watch that movie and probably think that we will never get to that point in society but yet we are already here and and we don't even know it.

The argument in the poem was that this woman was being over worked. I say this because the narrater said that she worked so hard she was starting to feel like a robot. The poem was different from the article because this shows the prospective of one worker. and in the article it was showing it like a narration. The meaning changed from the the thought that all sweatshop workers are zoned put during work but but this poem showed me that they dread every second of it.        

Al Capone shines my sheos

So far in the book Moose (the main character) is continuing the story kind of from were it left but he still explains a couple of stuff just in case they didn't read the first one. Then something appears in his laundry, a note saying: Done. This goes back to the first book when Moose wrote a letter to Al Capone asking for assistance because he wanted his sister to get into a school for kids with spacial needs. She gets in. So that is probably what I'm guessing the note saying done is from.

I'm predicting that Al Capone is going to black mail Moose into doing something for him or else he will take Moose's sister out of that school.

Sum and CA

Character Analysis= Beatrice Aka Tris has many good traits such as strong and brave and determined. The reason I feel most strongly about is that she is brave because she was brave enough and courages enough to switch factions from Abnegation to Dauntless. This requires a lot of courage and bravery because that is where her family and she will have to leave. She also has to survive the initiation were only 10 initiates make it and the rest are factionless. Tris provved she was brave when she fist came to the headquarters because she was the first to jump off the building into the net at the bottom of the biulding in order enter the underground complex that is the Dauntless.

Lemon Brown Response

This story was nice I liked it because the story isn't sad because most homeless stories that I have ever read were sad.Something that I could connect to the story was that we learned was how most homeless people are elderly because lemon brown was old. What I found surprising in this story was that lemon brown wasn't a drug addict and he actually had a job and family and then he ended up own did being homeless from the good life that he had. At the begging Greg was being rude and only saw what he wanted but toward the end he saw more clearly that his dad just wanted to do the most he could for him.

Blog Post 2 blog post and Summery

In the book Divergent there is five Factions which are Abnegation, Erudite, Dauntless, Amity, and Candor. In Abnegation lives a girl named Beatrice that live in the Abnegation faction were which is full of selfless people. At age sixteen all the teens must choose a faction. But before they go through a test that helps them determaim their choice. Beatrice's choice is undecided which means that she is a Divergent, and they tell her not to tell anyone but herself when time goes on she has to prove herself to be a true divergent. But one day she will find out something that will turn her world upside down and change the fate of the factions.

Second Paragraph

I think that the point of view is 1st person. I think this because whenever she talks she says "I" and she says "we". The story also sound like is is inside the head of Tris not being narrated by some floating ghost. Plus when Tris is going through a fight scene in the book she makes it sound like we can feel it.

Call of Duty Scholastic article.

I chose to blog about this article because I felt like I could relate to this in a way because I also have a dog. This article reminded me of my dog because one time took him out to run. I was on a bike and he was running. Since I live on a hill we were going down really fast. When we were close to the bottom he saw a squirrel and ran to it which mad me fly off my bike. I didn't get to hurt but i was bleed. When my dog saw me on the ground he stopped his chase and came to lick my face. Kind of like when Jose was hurt and Zenit came to his side.

The article was about a marine named Jose Armenta and his bomb sniffing dog. As time went on they grew an animal human bond.  But when jose accidentally steps on a I.E.D and got hurt, his dog was there to comfort him until a chopper came to his rescue. I thought that this was a really cool article because it shows how dogs are used in battle and it is a true story and did you know that there is about 2,500 military dogs and there are considered equipment. That is why I liked this article.

Summery Of Divergent so far.

In a post apocalyptic Chicago after a great war the citizens of Chicago had split into 5 factions: Amity Erudite, Abnegation, Dauntless, and condor. At the age of Sixteen these teens will choose to either stay or transfer to another faction. When Beatrice moved to another faction she has to survive the dreadful initiation were only fifteen make it and the rest remain factualness. During this initiation Beatrice gets a new name, Tris. As she goes on she makes alliances an also enemies. Once she passes the initiation she has to work on surviving without her parents and after she finds out her mom is a divergent she is relieved but the world she once knew she now is started to question it as a series of event happens.
