Life is beautiful

The kid survived like some of the kids who wrote the poems. Joshua had to hide and when he almost got caught they thought he was German. Sometimes they wouldn't get away with lying but he did because he had blonde hair. The movie wasn't as realistic as the actual event was. Except for the ending, that mad it seem more real than the rest of the movie.

The movie wasn't as realistic, it had some comedic parts. He did somethings that would've gotten him killed if he actually did them. The dad tried to make everything positive and said that it was just a game and the objective was that they had to listen to everything that their told to do.. The kid had to hide because he didn't go with the others to take a "shower" so if they saw him they would kill him. The dad would try and make signs like play music to let the mom know they were still there. The movie was funny but the end got more serious and shows what would actually happen but everything before that part was humorous.

Life is shown as beautiful because throughout the movie it shows how positive the dad was because he had his child there with him. If his kid wasn't there he would've been more depressed but his child was there to make him happier. When they got to the camps instead of telling the kid what was actually happening he told him it was a game and at the end you win a tank. That made the kid happier and also made his dad happier because he was able to keep his son safe without telling him the truth.

Shakira

This book is about Shakira and how she got started on her career. It talks about her trying to get where she is now. They talk about the people she meet and who helped her. It also says how she made most of her albums and how she wrote her songs. The book elaborates on her life and what she had to do in order to be able to make music like learning English.

I picked this book because I love Shakira ever since I was really little. And I got to learn more about her and her life. It's really interesting to learn about how someone started their career. I recommend this book if you like her and her music. Or any of these kinds of books to learn more about someone.

Propaganda

It's trying to say that Jews are like worshipping the devil, and are evil. This is trying to make people go against them and think that they are trying tomake other people join them or something like that. They used to blame Jews for most of the problems they had. They would suggest people stop talking to them and being friends because they could get themselves killed just for being their friend.

Survivors by Allan Zullo

This book is about people's stories who survived the holocaust and what they had to go though. There are 8 stories all from different people and there experiences. Each story shows the difficult things they had to do to survive and keep themselves safe and alive. Most of these stories are from when they were kids and younger. They tell how they had to hide and lie to a lot of people just to live. A lot of these people didn't know if they would see there family's again.

I recommend this book if you wanna learn more about the holocaust and how Jews struggled during that time. This is a very informative book and also interesting because you get to learn how they survived and all the things that really happened. I really like the first persons story. She talks about the things she did like hide from the nazis so she wouldn't get taken away from her family.

Regret :///

Regret. That's what a lot of us feel when we think we've made the wrong decision. I regret letting the most important thing in my life leave me. This was last month, I'm not gonna say names but it was someone who I was dating at the moment. I got a text from this person saying that things weren't really working out. I kept telling them not to leave me and that I love them but they still left me. We still talk but I honestly wish that I would've done more to stop them from leaving me. But the thing that really sucked about all of this was probably that I was at McDonald's while it was happening so I had to act like I was ok and nothing was wrong when really I wanted to die right then and there. We still talk but it's not the same. Oh well I just have to figure this out before I get really confused about everything.
