Life is beautiful review


We read a lot about the holocaust. We read how some areas near and in Germany didn't allow Jews in their shop. The movie gave me an example of it. The dad (main character) was walking with his son and his son wanted a pastry, well the dad saw a sign that said no Jews and tried to make an excuse to his son.(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qqeLy4vseoA) This comes to shows how in the our reading a lot of Jews were oppressed and this movie kinda shows how people get affected like this. Also we read of kids, the sick, or the elder were gassed but covered up as a shower. In the movie this also happens and it something you need to watch to understand(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2sqjebFODg).

     There was many mood changes. In the movie the mood changes a lot. In the movie everything was wonderful at first and no one thought anything of it like in real life(scenes from the movie to understand -https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o4E-yb-1_FA and https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h7CBrN19OY4) Later on in the movie the movie changes mood when their house gets scavenge for the main character since he was Jew and was put on the train(https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KaUEDYWofJQ) Th turn events kinda gets to you because it shows how life was wonderful and no expected anything, but all the sudden the Nazi came and deystroyed there life. It was all of the sudden too in the movie which comes to show how easily the mood changed.

     Life is shown beautiful in many ways in this movie. It was shown through the good and bad things. For example in one scene the main character is trying to make his son happy and not scared, so a German comes in to explain rules and needs someone to explain, the character volunteers and even though he doesn't no the language he repeats the guy to make it seem like a game for his little son. This scene shows how life is beautiful even in bad times if you try to make it beautiful or has something worth making it beautiful.  "https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9lTSqc1UnLU" video link.

The Nazi hunter blog

The Nazi book is a great book. This book is a narrative nonfiction .The author is Neal Bascomb. The book The Nazi Hunters is a book that takes place in towards the end of world war 2. This book is 245 pages long.This book gives us a perspective on how people fought for what they thought was right.


This book is retelling a story of a world war 2 assaination attemp. This book follows these people who are spies. The book goes into great description explaining how they found and captured the head of operation for the final solution Adolf Eichmann and bring him to justice. This books has some visuals to show you how it looked and felt. All in all this book is a great book and it fits in to the unit I'm in now about the holocaust

Carve the Mark blog

Carve The Mark is a fascinating book that is in a different galaxy. The author is Veronica Roth and she wrote many amazing books. One book you might notice from her is the divergent series. So coming back to carve the mark, this book is 468 pages and the genre is young adult fiction and scientific fiction.



This book takes place in a different galaxy. There is something called a current take gives people power. Most planets are peaceful but one planet partially own by the shotet people and they want more power. This book is on a perspective of the kings daughter and the kid from a different planet with unique powers. This book has a lot of plot twist and enough action to pull you in and give you a great imagery on how the story and people looks. I highly recommend this book to people who are look for something entertaining.

Regret

People regret many things. People regret life decisions or regret not doing something. Regret is a painful thing. Everybody regrets something in their life for many things. I myself regret many things too.

I regret many things. There is one thing that overshadows the rest. My grandma was dying.  She was very sick. She lived in this little village in Mexico. My family and I were talking about how we should go see her. We planned to go and see her. The thing is there was tickets to leave really early in the morning but miss a party or wait and then go. Me and my sisters convinced after the party. We stayed but the day of the party we were told that my grandma was almost gone so we tried to get there but we were too slow. We stayed there for the funereal. I never felt the same pain as seeing my parent cry. I regretted going to the party. I still do and I felt kinda vulnerable .This is something that is going to stick with me for a long time.

What famous person would you bring back to life?

There is many people I would choose. I could choose past presidents, I could choose rappers like two PAC, or I could choose pop stars. The thing is that it won't really stick with me emotionally. I decided someone who made an impact in my race. I choose Cesar Chavez. He is a Civil rights activist.

Cesar Chavez was a great Mexican civil rights activist who fought for farm workers to be treated like decent workers(something like a union) in the U.S. He died in April 23, 1993 but left a great legacy. He brought pride to my race and showed how my people are strong and smart, courages, and won't be kept quiet. He gave people an imagery of how life was as a worker and how you can help. He is someone I look up too and really want to talk. He is famous in a special way.

Nazi Propaganda posters

         The Nazis in world war 2 used a lot of propaganda poster to promote their act to their people. They used many posters to support their cause or oppose their enemies. There was one poster that caught my attention and it was used to go against the Jewish people. It was meant to attack them religiously. A lot of countries used propaganda (including the U.S)

(This means National-socialist German Labour Party)

This poster was to appeal to the workers. It was meant to attack the Jewish population religiously and give their people a sense of power. The snake is suppose to show evil because the snake is what the devil hid as and made Adam and Eve commit evil. Show the poster was to show Jewish people as snakes and threat and the knife was to show power and how they get stop the threat easily. This was to appeal to them show they are motivated to help the nazis cause and think nothing more. This can be interpretaded in many ways.
