All My Sons Prediction

pe.com
I think that Annie and Chris will eventually get married. I'm not sure if the play will actually cover the wedding or not though. I also think that George is going to cause some kind of problem. I think that maybe he will try to get Joe into trouble. I think he will try and manipulate him into saying something that could either throw him into jail or get his father out of jail. This could cause some kind of problems between Annie and Chris. I think that they will probably end up arguing about their families and splitting up for a while. It seems like those sort of things always happens in stories and movies. I do believe that Chris and Annie will end up marrying each other though. They are already fighting against so much already, I think they are strong enough to make it through whatever else is thrown at them.

Night

miraclesforyoutoo.blogspot.com
Night, a dark mysterious time. Every real vivid memory of Elie Wiesel was at night. He didn't know when his last night was going to be. At night he had seen babies being killed off, people being hung. When you think of night you think of it as the end, none of the Jews knew exactly when their end was going to be but they could feel it coming. I think this picture represents night because it is dark and gloomy. You can't really see what's lurking around you, what might pop out at you, or what may kill you. This picture isn't even close to as frightening as the Holocaust, but it is quite scary if you think about it. Imagine being alone in these dark woods, not knowing where you are, or even where you are going, complete confusion. You would have no idea what was coming next, you wouldn't know if you would make it through the night, which is exactly why I think it ties in so well.

Fire

Nazis used fire to kill so many innocent people. They burnt anyone no matter what age or gender. Elie spoke of babies being engulfed in the flames. The Nazis burnt people alive, it disgust me honestly. This picture represents fire and the holocaust because it shows the flames reflecting in the eye. Which is obvious, but I believe that the if you look closely it isn't just an eye. It's the eye of someone watching terrible things happening, it's an eye of someone in pain. It's like the owner of this eye doesn't believe what is happening. It's like the person just seen a glimpse of Hell. Which is what I would imagine the Jewish people thought and felt. The fire engulfing people all around them, how terrified they must have been.

The Importance of Father-Son Bonds

linnealenkus.com
In the story "Night" the only thing Elie Wiesel has left is his father. That was the only thing keeping him alive, the only person he really cared about anymore. They struggle together throughout the entire book. Elie also see's other fathers and sons being torn apart. He see's how being put through this can turn you against your own blood. This picture represents the importance of father-son bonds because it shows a child being hugged by his father. It's really a simple little gesture, but it shows how much they care for each other. Just like Elie and his father fighting for their lives together, because they care. A tragedy like they went through would make someone feel so small, and helpless. It would make you wish you were a small child and could just crawl into your father's arms where you would feel safe, and where you could pretend nothing bad could ever happen to the two of you.

Inhumanity Toward Other Humans

www.news.bbc.co.uk
In the concentration camps the Germans wanted to make the Jewish people think they had nothing to live for. They took everything that meant anything at all to them away. The Germans wanted to make the Jews think that they weren't even humans really. The only thing that became important to them was food. That's the only thing most of the Jews really cared about. Which makes sense, seeing that the Germans took everything valuable away from them, including their family. This picture represents inhumanity because it is people of the same race, maybe even friends or family, fighting over food rations. It shows how uncivilized humans can be when they need something to survive. If you make a man starve, it's like your making an animal out of him. When humans feel tortured and hungry, they don't care about anyone but themselves. I think that this picture really shows that. It is of people in Haiti fighting over food rations. These people have lost their home and has been through great tragedy. I think this shows that these kinds of things do still happen in the world.

Silence

www.xyso.files.wordpress.com
Silence. None of the Jews knew what where they were going, what was going to happen. The world kept the Holocaust a secret for as long as they could. No one would even believe such treacherous things were happening so close to where they lived. I think this picture pertains to the Holocaust because the man is alone. From the book it seems like everyone feels so alone, they have nothing to live for really. The man is alone, everything around him is silent and still. Unlike in the picture, the Jews were surrounded by people, but were stuck inside themselves with only their thoughts.

Eliezer’s Struggle to Maintain Faith in a Benevolent God

www.nocaptionneeded.com
For this theme I chose a picture of the Twin Towers. It ties into the theme because it shows a great tragedy. The plane running into the building killed so many people, just like Hitler trying to exterminate the Jews. After seeing, or living through something so terrible, it makes you wonder why God let such horrible events happen in the first place. Eli struggled to maintain his faith because of how many people he seen being murdered on a daily basis. He could do nothing but watch as cruelty was taking place all around him. Just like 9-11, watching what happened, seeing people just from some of the highest levels of the building. All the deaths, knowing how many people couldn't come home to their families any more. Living through that, and seeing it happen, would cause anyone to question God.

WOW

Wow, it just feels like forever since I've got on here. Last time was in Stuckey's class. I miss it in there!!

Just some quotes....

so I agree with every one of these quotes.

this wouldnt let me post last time i was on... so this is a bit old

So he is talking to me again, it makes me so happy! I knew everything was OK when I was walking down the staircase and he was walking up them. He was wearing my favorite shirt of his. Its long sleeved, flannel and blue, he looks so cute wearing it. Well anyway. I looked over at him and I seen him wearing that shirt and couldn't help but smile.... I wanted so much to tell him how cute he looked, but I thought it was too soon to jump back to exactly where we were. (I used to always tell him he looks cute when he wears that shirt). Back to the story, it was like he knew what I wanted to say, cus he kinda blushed, I guess you can say, then started to smile but tried to hide it. It was like all I could see was him for the short moment, that is insignificant to everyone else, but its everything to me. I can't stop thinking of it. it was a crowded stairway and all i could see was him. UGH... there is something wrong with me!!!

so my best guy friend... again...

So definately ignore what i said earlier about how my best guy friend and me haven't hung out forever. We are hanging out today after school!! It excites me. Hopefully he doesn't ruin it by taking me to the "Little boys" house... haha hmmmm

Speaking of my best guy friend....

So I miss my best guy friend. I'm not even going to lie. I haven't got to hang out with him forever, and I hate it. I've tried to tell him that but he's dumb or something I don't know. I just wish he would realize that he has more friends beside the LITTLE BOY he is hanging out with now. Ok so I admit that the his other best friend isn't really a little boy but might as well be seeing that he acts like it. He always wants me to go over the the little boys house with him but seeing that he told me the little boy hates me, why would i even want to go over there??? Does this make any sense to anyone else?? Why would i want to go to someone's house with my best friend if the person hated me and didnt want me there?? I just don't get why he doesn't understand why i would like for just me and him to hang out for once..... OK im frustrated now... so I'm done. I would like to sick this evil, little dangerous, armed, yet adorable monkeys on him... just to be random..

Besties....

This reminds me of my best friend so much. It cracks me up!! I don't have any idea what I would do without her! She might as well be my sister.



So this second quote reminds me of all my besties. It also reminds me how irritated I get when i try to tell my best guy friend a story and he just doesn't think its funny unless he is in the story. I just heart him so much, kinda makes me want to punch him. He just tries to be annoying. But I wouldn't change him for anything.

A Walk to Remember Quote

When I sit there and think about everything, about my friends and how far we've come, I always think about those crazy nights. They seemed so insignificant at the time, but now they are pretty much everything to me. This little quote, icon thingy reminds me of all those times.

just friends

So has this ever happened to anyone else?? Cus it has definitely happened to me. And I hate it. They either ask that or they say "hey you two should date!".... Yeah that would be a great idea if he liked me back!! HA it makes me want to slap someone, well sort of. But when I think about it I would rather have him as my best friend than anything else. It just makes things so much easier.

True Blood

So I'm getting sick of hearing about twilight all the time. I love the books but hate the movie with a passion. I really do, I've never actually hated something this bad until now..... so I've decided I like True Blood a lot better. At least they go off the book a heck of a lot more than the twilight movie did... I do still love jacob black though...

Tanka poem...

Taking your first step.
Spreading your beautiful wings.
Plunging toward the ground.
Not ready to give in yet.
You fight back and start to fly....

Haiku poem.....

Your wind shudders me,
Your lightning strikes right through me,
You're my perfect storm.
