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.

Unfair

Today in class we had to read a treaty and highlight the main parts of the story, comment on what we don’t understand or was confused on. For our homework we were supposed to explain a few reasons we think it is fair or not. The treaty I read today in class to me was fairly unfair to the government and to Germanys people. They have so little solders, weapons and transportation. Therefore it is hard for them to protect their self from other places that could and may attack them in the sooner or later in the future. Germany causes damage and they are the ones that will eventually pay for it and the other people that live in Germany have caused and I don’t think that is very fair for the Germany citizens but it might be for other countries because they don’t have to worry about anything to do with cost. Some sentences in this passage is not true and people think it is very obvious that it is not true just b reading it. Two quotes I got from the passage that I thought were not true are ' Germany and her Allies accept the responsibility for causing all the loss and damage to the Allied Powers.' Another one would be “It is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak. Unless this principle be made its foundation, no part of the structure of international justice can stand.”

Religion Response:

A 'good' life has meaning.

Would I agree to this statement? Maybe. Could be. Depends. 50-50 (half/half). For now, I think my life is good but then it might develop a true meaning to me. Some peoples meanings in life could be to spread blessing around the entire world in the name of Jesus. Im guessing those people are good and it does have a lot of meaning to that person. I would be honest by saying that life doesn’t really have to have means to have a good life. What really counts in your life is that you must have a reason to keep you busy in the days. To me life is great and it doesn’t necessarily need to have a meaning to some people. This concludes my reason as to why I think I am a 50-50 (half-half) however, it can be good if it doesn’t have any yet though. Since I explained I think is a true meaning in life, well maybe, I want it to happen to me soon and for meanings that are the things that could maybe have a difference in a world to make me a better person.

The serenity to change the things I can

The serenity to change the things I can is the topic I am going to talk about today. The belief that guy was discussing or was talking about is about this. He hates it when other people, even his family litters and he said in the record that even one person can change the world even just buy picking up one piece of litter and that he dumped someone just because she littered and made him pick up the plastic. He also puts trash cans everyday.
The next question I am going to focus on is: Why did it appeal to me? I thought it did because who would go and check the dustbin that doesn't belong to you? On top of that, he also sorts out the trash like the plastic, paper, etc.
