Blog 6: The Scarlet Ibis

Aunt Nicey says "Dead birds is bad luck", "Specially red dead birds". When saying that bad luck did come. Doodle died. They affected the plot because if the bird was never there they would still be eating. I believe in Friday the 13th. I believe in all of those little superstitions.

Blog 5: The Man Who Was Almost A Man

1. The Author, 3rd person, ominent

2. Her response was no at first. She didn't want him to have one. But then Dave said that they could use the gun for Pa. And she says fine they can get one.

3. He tells them a lie in how the mule did it to herself. He starts crying and then the crowd starts laughing and he tells them what really happened.

4. I think it represents a new place for Dave. It represents freedom and a new life.

5. I don't think so. I think a society needs someone like Dave. If there isn't then it will be off balance. You need someone who has different ideas. No i don't think they should celebrate his departure.

Blog 4: Lamb to the Slaughter

I really liked the ending of this story. It was funny how they were eating the murder weapon and she was in the other room laughing. I don't think you could get away with the same crime. The police would be more suspicious and think of the Lamb was being the leg. 

Blog 3: GAC&Cage Reading

I found a couple of the parts to be compelling. First Riva got very sick. Her roommates summoned the doctor to so she could help her out. The doctor spoke to the Commandant in an aggressive tone so they could bring Riva to a Hospital. The doctor told the Commandant how Riva wrote extravagant poetry that kept up everyone's spirit and gave them the will power to work. The Commandant agreed and brought Riva to the hospital, since Rica was so ill she floundered through the town. "Madam Commandant, I told you about Riva's poetry because i wanted you to see her as a person, not just as another inmate. i also wanted you to know what her poetry does for the morale of the other girls." (203)

Blog 2: Holocaust Dictionary

The one that i was surprised about was Warsaw Ghetto. They had concentration camps all planned out and then they even had normal homes planned and figured out. These Nazis and Hitler had a lot all of their ideas planned and they went through with it. No one could stop them and they killed millions of people. The Warsaw Ghetto was the very first step in their plan of killing all of the Jewish people. 

I thought allies was because i have heard it before. It did show how that many people agreed on one idea and they all went through with it. They all cherished Hitler and they thought he was right when he wasn't. Everyone got together on one idea that was truly horrible.

Blog 1: Part 1 Reflection

The part that stood out was when the guy died when they were sewing. 

page 34, "On the floor i see stretched out, hardly breathing, a young man. His eyes are closed, his face ashen, his hands pressed against his heart. From his lips blood silently flows over his bony chin and forms one big black spot on the wooden floor."

It shows how you never know when your going to die. Anything can happen at anymoment.

Blog 16: News report on chapter 4

Its April 1940. HOORAY! We are taking down Lodz Poland. We are finally getting the job done. The Germans rounded up all of the Jews and we watched in laughter as they ran around in circles. A man tried to help a pregnant women not fall but, he took care of that. One of our sergeants pushed her on top of her little fat stomach. Some man tried to help her and we cut her throat. That should teach those stupid Jews not to go against us. 

This went on for awhile, the running and stopping and tiring them out. After all that we brought them to the train station. We put the men into one group and the women and children into another group. The men went on the train and were never going to be seen again. The women and children were set free but not for long. We will put them into their places and will we dominate.
