In class we were supposed to read one artical out of three and the poems were either The Mysterious Major, Schindler List and finally, The courage of Le chambon. The one I was given was the one called The "Mysterious Major" and the questions that I had to answer are what did Schmahlikng mean when he said that in crushing the boy in his classroom, he was destroying something in himself? What was he destroying and how was it like what the Nazis were destroying in the people they ruled. What Schmahlikng meant when he said that in crushing the boy in his classroom, he was destroying something in himself means that he thinks he was being mean, hurtful and a bullying to the boy. It also destroyed something in himself and that was his inner self. The major did something that would affect how he felt about himself forever. He was ashamed. What he was destroying was the way he felt about himself, how less about who they were, helpless to do anything, felt like they were being bullied, tesed and thats how the Nazis feel about themself as well.

Which Sonia Weitz poem did you choose?  Sum up your annotations, then reflect on parts of the poem that really stood out for you.  How can you make a personal connection to the poem? How did it make you feel?


There were three choices for poems that we read in class. The one I picked after reading all three was called "Victory" by Sonia Weitz and I chose it because I thought it was the shortest one but most interesting one out of all three in my opinion and I found a couple of metaphor in the poem and that is when it said "There are no tools to measure love". I don't think I have any connections to this poem.

Hitler

For this blog, we were assigned to talk about Hitler. The questions that we were supposed to answer were:
1. What are Civil rights? What are some that we have?
2.Why might some of Hitler's measures in ablating personal freedoms and Civil Rights be seen by some as a positive or necessary move?

Question one (a). Civil rights are when you are able to have rights of what you want to do. Somethings like freedom, be safe, have your own privacy when it is needed, able to have to sit in public transport without being judged by your race, be able to live where they want to, make freedom speeches and other speeches and much more. Question one (b). I think we have the rights to do all the things I listed above. Question two: Hitler's measures in ablating personal freedoms and Civil Rights be seen by some as a positive or necessary move is because some people thought when Hitler said that a building was burning which was set by a fire and that they thought it was fair to abolish their rights to do what ever they wanted such as the things I listed for what Civil rights mean. Another example is that Hitler thought that he could make the world be a better place but in the end he ended being the one who started world war two.
