One thing I really like about this book is there are two point of views and almost every page is a surprise for me ( the book is unpredictable ). But a question I have is how come Eddie's mom never noticed that he was continuously going into the attic getting the gun and how he was going in and out the house and acting nervous every time he walked in the house. Another thing I was wondering about is will Marcus tell that Eddie was the one who shot the gun or will he take the fall for everything. Lastly, what will happen if if he does tell will their friendship be over?

My spring break was kind of boring I visited family and mainly watched movies. What I did at my father's house was really play with my little sisters but Aliyah was sick so she mostly slept and Ameriah wasn't in the best mood (terrible twos). Also I cooked a lot at my dad's house and read my book a lot cause there was nothing else to do which was kind of good.
Also I went to my aunts house for 5 days and my little cousin was there and we baked a lot and my little cousin wanted to play barbies or babies every 10 minutes which wasn't so fun but she's 4 so I played anyway. Another thing I did was go to the saint Patrick's day parade and the people there were kind of rude so me and my little cousin didn't get so much candy. Lastly my little sister turned 7 and my little brother turned 8, we went to the children's museum , had a pinata , ate a lot of sweets , and my little sister started a ballet class. Over all I guess my spring break was fun. 1)A couple similarities are both the movie and the book take place in the same time period and one of the main character is a Jew. A couple differences are there are no good Germans in the Night book but there is a good German in the movie. Another difference is the ages in the book are way older than in the movie and there is way more detail in the book than the movie in my opinion.
2) The character I chose was Bruno-Bruno has light blue eyes and dark hair and his personality is bright and he is very curious. Also his thoughts are always bright and he likes to look at the good things and he wants to make the best out of anything that happens. 3) My thoughts have not changed because i already knew what was going on during the holocaust time and it was terrible and it never should of happen 4) I liked the book better because it had way more detail and you can picture everything in your head. Also I like the book better because they talk about them getting freed and that made me happy. 5) I don't really have any questions but something I was wondering is how did they all of a sudden blame Jews for them losing the Great war because somebody had to bring the idea to the public. Tough questions
page 86 what happen was the SS were making everybody run for hours non-stop and Elie thought to himself if he stopped running and the SS shot him he could escape he could finally stop feeling all the pain he was feeling at that moment but he choose to keep running because he thought of his father and how his father would be without him in his life. This makes me wonder like how would his father react to his son had died and how would his father go on with his life without his only happiness in his life contrasts and contradictions page 101 what happen was when they were on a train to their new concentration camp some people had threw bread in the train and everybody fought for some food and Elie nor his father had moved to try to get some food. I think he acted this way because he was scared but I would've thought he would fight to get his father some bread because through out all the book he put his father before himself except for like twice. Memory moment page 100 His flash forward was him witnessing a women throw coins at "natives" and she was enjoying watching them fight and almost kill each other and he asked the women to stop and leave the boys alone. I think this memory was important to him because he was in that same situation but he was the one getting stuff thrown at him and he know how it feels and nobody should deserve to be treated like that. Also it could be important to a reader because this shows the true character. If I were president the first thing I would do is try to is make it so anybody and everybody can get some type of job even if they have been to jail because after they come out how will they survive with out employment, it would be very difficult. Also I would try to make this happen by talking to some of the job companies to see if they have any job placements for people getting a second chance at a better life. Even if it's at home job they just need a way to make money and take of their self.
Another thing I would do is make sure no child is left without a college education because almost every real job needs a college education but how will they get it if college is like 25,000 a year, it's crazy. One thing I will do to help this is maybe make a donation that everybody who has love for education will donate for the children who just can't afford college.Another thing is maybe work with the students who need help for college funds at a young age (like in the 9th grade) and help them get financial credit with sports, math, just do anything to help these students get a successful future. The last main thing i'm focused on is making a route for children who don't want to go to college for example if a person wants to be a electrocution they can have a electrocution classes so when they get out of high school they can go straight the job with the education they need and it would have cost no money and their future is now bright and great. Another way I can get these children's future great with out college is just having a class where would teach them the options of how they can have a bright future with out college and find a good paying job that doesn't require a college education. During winter break I got all that I wanted and I spent a lot of time with my family mostly my ma. Another thing I did during winter break I had 4 Christmas' s with my great grandma, grandma, ma ,and dad. Also I spent a lot of time with my new baby sister Aliyah but she got sick then got me sick and it made my break kind of boring.
Another thing I did during break was a new years/birthday bash party. We went ice-skating, to the movies , and had a whole bunch of pizza. Also, I had spent 2 weeks with Tyquanna and Skylar. What I got for my birthday for my birthday and for Christmas was about $300 , 2 pair of shoes, makeup , lotions , and gift cards. I just had a great winter break. My opinion is these life skills are really important because as an 18 year old manging you emotions and feelings , you have to become more independent with that. Also the having the skill to talk to starngers is a very good skill because if you're by yourslef and you need to know where to go you are going to have to ask somebody you do not know if your phone has no service or if it had died.
Last, I feel as if these are realistic because just as said, everything makes sence. A rule I don't like is I can't hit my brother back because he is 2 years younger than me, he is 12 so he isn't really a baby and can take a punch. I would change it to he just can't hit me or I can hit him back because he knows better. If it was my little little brother and sister my ma would say they don't know better because they're 6 & 8 but Shawn (the 12 year old) knows better so I should be allowed to hit him back if he hits me.
Another rule I don't like is at school we can't use our phones in homeroom because if we are done with our work we should be able to be on our phones and we should be able to look on powerschool if we need to. Also I think we should be able to talk if nobody is working because if we can't be on our phones, we can't socalize and we have no work to do, what are we going to do? Last, a rule I really hate is we can't talk quietly in study hall , we just have to be quiet . I am grateful for my mother, Aunt Cindy, and Uncle Jeff because they have done the most for me in my life if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have been this far in my education. I am also grateful for my sister because she always make sure I'm straight and she doesn't let nobody talk to me disrepectfully and I just love her. Another reason I'm greatful because I have a wonderful family and family times are the best.
