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.

Blog 14: Kate is tamed

Petruchio tamed Kate by not feeding and her not letting her sleep. He made it so whenever they fought she would have to give in. He wasn't going to so she had to. The only way she could do anything would be if he said so. The first time they met Petruchio told her she was going to marry him. They were going back and forth calling eachother names. He told her what was what and then her father said they were getting married. After they got married and then Petruchio thought of a plan to tame her. After a couple of days he got her tamed. She became obidient and respectful. Everything he told her to say or do she did it with no question asked. 
The conclusion of the play was Katherine telling Bianca and the Widow in how to be proper wives. In how they should act and what not to do. She told them in how men don't like women who don't listen.  Then Katherine and Petruchio left and went to bed. A couple they remind me of Angolina and Brad. But, i think she has him tamed.
