The Diary Of Anne Frank Assign. 4

       A summary of my whole book is about a Jewish girl named Anne Frank. Anne had to live during a date in history called the Holocaust. The Holocaust was created by a German named Hitler. Hitler didn't really like the Jews so he made groups called Nazis. The Nazis went around killing Jews everywhere. There were some Germans that didn't like the idea of killing the Jews, so some of them tried finding some ways to help them. Anne and her family, and other families were helped by hiding in German houses. She and her family lived in an attic with other families joined with them so they can get help also. Anne had a diary that she got on her birthday, and she wrote in their almost everyday. She always wrote about her feeling and how she felt about everything, because it's a diary and in diaries most of the times you write about what you feel. So Anne wrote, and she thought what would be so interesting about a 13 year old girl. She never knew that it would get read all over the world. But it is good that she did write, so we could know more about the experiences about the Holocaust.

While I was reading the book "The Diary Of Anne Frank" I noticed a signpost. The signpost that I noticed is the Again & Again. This signpost means that a character in the book has been saying something repeatedly during the book. There were a couple of moments where Anne kept repeating things. Two examples that she really kept repeating, and that really stuck to my mind are that she wanted to be a grown woman already and that she wanted to be famous. When she said that she wanted to be a grown woman she meant that she wanted to get her period like her sister and that she wanted breasts. She didn't want to be seen as a little girl anymore, she didn't like that. Throughout her diaries she kept talking about her wanted to grow up already. The again and again moment that I remember is that she also kept saying that she wanted to be famous. She said that she wanted to be a movie star, popular, famous, and be known everywhere. She hated being in that attic that she had to be stuck in. She never liked it there, because she had to be living with other people and she also said that it was to crowding.

Anne Frank Assignment 5: Conflict

The Diary Of Anne Frank is about how her life was going during the Holocaust. She has to live in an attic that a German family let them live in. So they could hide away from the Nazi guards. Because the Nazi guards were starting to appear everywhere getting rid of the Jews. Since Hitler was taking everything step by step, that was on of the steps he had in mind and now making it happen. I think that the plan was to send every Jew to a concentration camp. Where supposably everything was great over in the camps, but it actually wasn't.

The conflict in my book is man vs. society. I think that The Diary Of Anne Frank is man vs. society because it's Hitler taking over and killing every Jew. Since there are more people on Hitler's side, it's like a group or society that want to discriminate Jews. So, it's like all the Jews and the Nazis are against each other because Nazis don't like them.

Anne Frank Assignment 3: Plot

In the book that I am currently reading, which is the Diary of Anne Frank, the Holocaust is happening. Anne Frank and her family are living in an attic because they are hiding from the Nazis. Some Germans think that what Hitler is doing is wrong, so some of them let Jews hide in their houses so they don't get discovered by the Nazi and get killed. But doing that is a huge risk for the Germans. Anne wrote in her diary from June 12, 1942-August 1, 1944. During that time when she was writing in her diary, Hitler and the Nazis kind of ruled. So, since Hitler wanted to kill and get ride of Jews, and since she and her family were Jews, she was writing in her diary about how life was going and what had to happen during that time so they won't get killed.

Lately, Anne and her mother had been having some arguments. Also, something shocking and surprising that had happened to Anne, was that she kissed her crush, Peter. What's been happening in my book is that one of Anne's fathers co-workers has been suspicious about him. So the guy went inside the house where Anne's family was hiding in, to find out things about what he was suspicious about. While the guy was inside the house, he managed to steal things. Those things weren't even Anne's families things, they were things from the Germans that let Anne and her family stay there. So that was unfair. But maybe as I keep reading more into the book more interesting things might happen to Anne and her family.

Holocaust Blog

After reading about the bystanders and upstanders during the Holocaust, I believe that there were reasons why people weren't standing up and supporting what they truly believe in what was right. I think that people just stood by and didn't do anything because they were afraid that they might get hurt or killed just like how the Jews were. Also, since Adolf Hitler was taking small steps to achieve what he did, people didn't realize what was happening slowly and slowly. Probably, they also thought that Hitler was just making a little bit of changes and so they really didn't care much at the time because they would've thought it was still going to be the same. I think that some people, that weren't Jews, thought that what Hitler was doing, was wrong. So some of those people tried helping some of the Jews. Some helped by hiding them, like how Anne Frank was hidden. Honestly, I think that I wouldn't have done anything. I wouldn't do anything because the process of how everything went was going slowly and slowly so I wouldn't be noticing it at all. And also probably, since it wouldn't have been bothering me at the time, I wouldn't really care much about it.

Genre of "Life As We Knew It"

The book "Life As We Knew It" is about how the main character Miranda and her family live life in a small town in Pennsylvania, while an asteroid hit the moon at night and is now close and very visible to everyone. Since the moon is off of it's axis, that effects the weather. The weather was starting to change a lot, sometimes it would be hot and then sometimes it would be really cold. There would be earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis, tornados and other natural causes because of the weather changing.

The genre of this book I think, would be science fiction. It would be science fiction because it's about things in outer space, and an asteroid hitting the moon could never happen. I like science fiction because science for me is an interesting topic. I think that in the future I might read another science fiction book. What I liked about my book is that it was a girls perspective on things, and that's a connection that I have with it. I also like that it was in first person point of view. I like these types of books in this point of view because you really get to know what they are felling and thinking about what's going on, and since it's like a journal that they are keeping, they give good details and it feels like you're there with them. A character that I really liked was Miranda, she was the main character. I liked that character because she was really determined and never gave up on her family with all of the things that were going on.

Sweatshop Post

In the article it talks about a fire that happened at a sweatshop in Bangladesh. The owner of the sweatshop and his wife were getting investigated to see if the fire was caused by them. If they were found guilty for the fire then they would go to jail. And I think that in the article it said that they would in be jail for life. I think that having these illegal sweatshops is bad because if something like this happens then you're going to be in bigger trouble because you owned a sweatshop and there was a fire and it killed a lot of people. What I find upsetting from this is that the people who worked at the sweatshops weren't getting paid, were sometimes getting hurt and the people didn't do anything to help them, and that they had to work for so long and didn't get any rest. 

I think that the poem was about a worker who worked at a sweatshop and was getting treated badly. She would work for hours and hours, almost the whole day. She wouldn't get enough sleep. All she had to eat was red wine, lettuce, and bread at her house. She wouldn't get fed during the whole day at the sweatshop. She would work in really bad conditions. The poem was different from the article because I feel that since it's a poem it gives more details about the emotions that the person is having. I think it's way easier reading a poem because I shows me more about how they are living, acting, and feeling.

Summary & Conflict On "The Maze Runner"

In "The Maze Runner", I think that this book is really interesting and entertaining for me because it catches my attention for a long time unlike some other books that I have read in the past. I am almost to the end of my book, I just need a couple more pages to finish. So where I'm at right now, is the part when Thomas, Teresa, Minho, Chuck, and some other Gladers are going to the Griever Hole. The Griever Hole is where all the scary, bad, and terrifying animals come from. They go through there because they think that that's the only way out of there, because there couldn't possibly be another way out that they know of. They have tried everything else except doing that. Before they go and try to escape they had to plan for it days before it had to happen. Thomas tried getting most of the guys to join him to go to the hole, but some of them thought it was too dangerous or they were never going to make it out alive and so they didn't want to join him. But, some of the guys did agree and did want to join him because they did not want to be in that horrible place anymore. So, when they got everything and everyone ready it was time for them to head out and start their adventure to get out of there. They headed early in the morning to the opening walls to enter the maze. Everyone stayed together because they didn't want anything bad happening to anyone. Thomas and Minho were leading the crew because they were the runners so they mostly knew more about the maze. They were trying to get to the Griever Hole as soon as possible so it won't get dark or else bad things would start to happen. When they reached the Griever Hole there was round circular tube passage where the Griever animals came from, on the side of that were buttons for the passcode that they needed to put, and on the bottom was a little red button. Then, a bunch of Grievers came out of the hole... and if you want to know more about what happened I would consider that you read it!!


I think that in "The Maze Runner" the conflict would probably be Man .vs. Society because the boys in the maze don't really know what is going on and they are trying to battle and escape from that horrible place. Maybe also Man .vs. Man because sometimes the guys would get into arguments about how some guys think that Thomas has started all this nonsense.

"Do Sports Fans Go Too Far?"

I read "Do Sports Fans Go Too Far?". The article was about sport fans that go to far with things when watching their sports team play with another team. It said that some people get in fights and hurt each other, and also hurt the people around them. They have to put barricades around place so people don't get into fights. Police Officers have to be around and aware that no one hurts anybody. And I think in the article it also said that people would get arrested. I think that the people shouldn't get to crazy with things like this. It's not worth saying bad words to people, or getting in fight with people just over a sports game. I mean like, you could get mad at the other team but just don't go to far. Maybe later on their team could get better and they could win, and so what were are those troubles for. When I go to games, I do get super mad but I keep everything inside me. I don't curse the people out, I say things about them to myself. I also just don't go fighting people just because the game. Those were my thoughts about how some people go too far with sports, I don't know what you might say...

Summary and Point Of View

I am currently reading the book, "The Maze Runner" and so far in the book it's really interesting. Thomas was always so fascinated about the runners, and finally he became one. Thomas is a runner now, and he says that being a runner is hard and pointless. He said that it's hard for his because him and Minho, his partner, had to run all the way through the maze so they could get to the Glade before it became dark. Teresa, the last and only girl, can communicate with Thomas through their minds. They barley found out that they can do that. One day, Teresa woke up out of nowhere she said something to Thomas through their mind, which was "Tom, I just triggered the ending." They both think that she has something to do with this maze program, because how can she just say something like that through their minds out of nowhere. One day, the boys and Teresa were sitting together trying to figure out things about the maze. And then Teresa showed the boys something that had been written on her bicep, which read "WICKED is good". Thomas said that he had been having dreams that said those same words. They didn't know if that meant something good or something bad. They'll have to find out sooner or later. And I'm going to have to keep on reading to find out myself!

The Maze Runner is third person point of view because the narrator talks about everyone in the book, not just one person. The narrator uses he, she, them, they, etc. Those are some key words that I know of, that consider the book a third person point of view book. A sentence in the book that could be an example of third person point of view is "The boys walked back toward the Homestead." the author is telling us that all the boys are walking back to the Homestead and not just one boy. Another sentence in my book that shows third person point of view is "Thomas shook his head slightly, feeling like he'd been in a trance. His mind was racing, wondering what Alby remembered, what he knew, what he might say about him." I like third person point of view because it's like I know what everyone in the book is doing, or what they are thinking. I think it is more interesting reading a book in third person instead of reading a book with only the point of view of one character.

"Lemon Brown"

My reaction to the story about Lemon Brown wasn't really big, because during the story the context clues were leading up to how Lemon Brown was going to be homeless and how he would look like. This story connects to what we have been learning because we've been learning about homelessness, and Lemon Brown is homeless because he just lives in an abandoned house on the block. What I found interesting about the Lemon Brown story is that even though he was homeless he was still happy about things. Most people who are homeless, usually look sad and depressed. But, Lemon Brown was telling Greg all these stories about how he was a kid he was having a bad time, but then as time passed by he started to realize that all those 'bad' things were for his own good. He also told Greg about how he had a treasure, which were his prized possessions from back then. I think that Greg did change because of the stories that Lemon Brown was telling him. Lemon Brown was telling Greg that his parents would always tell him to do things better. Greg was also having problems with his parents because they weren't letting him play ball anymore because he had bad grades. But, when Lemon Brown was telling him his stories Greg was starting to recognize the fact that his parents were trying to help him in raising his grade up, and not just let him play ball all the time.

Summary & Character Analyzes On "The Maze Runner"

So far in the book that I am currently reading which is "The Maze Runner", it's getting really interesting, suspending, and so tense! The book is about some teenagers arriving at some secret maze, and they don't know anything that had happened before because all of their memory got erased. The maze usually brings one new male teenager a month, but when Thomas arrived things totally changed differently. On Thomas's second day at the maze, a new teen arrives. But it's not a boy, it's a girl! The girls name is Teresa, and when she got to the maze, in her hand she was holding a note and it said "She is the last one. Ever." According to the characters in the book things like this never usually happens. So in the book that's where I'm at, that I currently stopped at.


The character that I am analyzing is Thomas. He is super curious! On the first day that he got at the maze he was always asking questions and being curious about everything! He also seems courageous, because when he saw the guys that would go into the maze and out he always be saying that he wanted to be one of them. The guys that have been there for a long time already have told him that he wouldn't want to do that because sometimes the people could get stuck, and would have to spend the night there because the door don't open until the morning. And nobody could ever survive a night in the maze!

Summary On "Because I Am Furniture"

The book that I was reading is called "Because I Am Furniture". The book is on Anke's point of view, it's like she's telling the story. Anke is living with an abusive father. Her mother, brother, and sister are all scared of him. Her dad will get mad at her and her siblings for the smallest things ever! Anke is in high school and so are her siblings, but they don't talk to each other when they're at school. In the book, Anke says that she is invisible, like furniture because no one really pays attention to her. She joined the volleyball team, even though her dad told her not to. During the volleyball practices she has to call for the ball but never does and always misses. Throughout the book, Anke is getting more and more determined and finding courage in herself. She finally gets the courage to call for the volleyball when it's coming toward her, and she sometimes gets determined and respond back to her father when she would get into trouble with him. At the end of the book Anke is determined of what she does and isn't afraid anymore. She is no longer invisible like furniture. I think that this book was great because it showed a lot of courage in her and all the troubles she had to get through, like how everyday life is!
