Up standers and bystanders during the Holocaust

Over the past few years of my life I have been learning about the holocaust and the reasons that people could be so cruel.I have always been so interested in the subject. I have read so many books about the Holocaust, I have seen movies, and i am lucky to go to the Holocaust museum ( thank you Ms. Belkov). The holocaust was a horrific sequence of destruction to different types of the human race. 11 million people where murdered! If it wasn't for the people who hid the jews and helped some escape then that number would be higher. Their was also the bystanders, the people who watched and didn't do anything. But, you have to think about it in a different way. What if you have family you wouldn't want to risk it would you? People where afraid of taking action. The people didn't want to end up like the Jews. I wouldn't be able to put myself in that place, all because of the fear of when am I going to get caught, Are they going to find me? Their so little that one person can do but, if 10,40, 100 people take action then that is a difference.

The Beginning of the End Harry Potter :D.H

The Beginning of this book starts in the perspective of Severus Snape. Snape is a death Eater , if you haven't read the Half Blood Prince, and he was going to meet with the other death eaters and Lord Voldemort. Voldemort took Lucius Malfoy's because he need someone else's wand since Harry's and Voldemort's cant kill each other they can only harm. Anyway Voldemort had captured and Tortured a teacher from Hogwarts ( I wont tell you who it is leave to some suspense) and eventually used the Avada Kedavra curse on the Professor and Nagini ate the Professor.

The Order moved Harry to a safe place since when Harry turned 17 the protective spells that Harry's parents had placed on him would vanish once he turned 17 so they had to move him to another place. But once they got him out they noticed all the Death eaters that where surrounding the house their was a fight and their was so deaths both Death Eaters and Order. So thats all that I have read so I'll right next time.

Chris's Workers right Article and Poem Review

The argument of this article is that the workers in the Coca-Cola Businesses are being murdered,tortured, kidnapped and threatened.They are violating two Human Rights which are :  Right #3 everyone has the right to life liberty and security.

Right #5 No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The article states that 128 labor leaders have been assassinated in the past year.The workers shouldn't have to worry when they're going to be killed. The Owners have to treat their employees with respect and safety they shouldn’t be tortured or threatened. I didn't know none of this and this really is really bad. Why are they doing this type of things Big business should know when this is happening they should investigate and know what is happening to their workers. when they say we didn't know this was happening well that means that you should find out not let pass by their minds.

The argument in the poem was more about the way the workers are being treated by their bosses and what they have to go the through every single day. They have to be screamed at. They feel like they are nothing but machines and that they have nothing else in their life but work. they are losing them selves they have nothing to do but work. The poem stated these things by the narrator saying these things. he or she lives through this and this is his evidence. It was different reading the article and reading the poem because the article is all about statistics and facts and the poem is more about peoples feelings. It affected my understanding of the poem because you have to figure out what they mean. They don't have facts they don't use literal meanings so you have to guess in a way.

Harry Potter HBP FINALLY!

Okay so i'll will try not to ruin the ending but that will be hard. So right now Hermione Should feel like Harry would be like I told you so because Harry was right about Draco being a death eater. He was working on something in the Room Of Requirement. So anyway Dumbledore asked Harry if he would go to find the Horcrux and Harry agreed. They went to the location of the Horcrux and their was Inferi coming out of the water and they where attacking them and one grabbed Harry and Dumbledore I think he used Inferno and they let him go and they escaped. They arrived in Hogsmeade and Madame Rosemerta told them their was the dark mark on top of the tower so they got their and this is where all the actrion started to happen all i am going to say is that their was Dark Magic and the Avada Kedavra curse where used so you read to find out. I have a question why don't they learn any thing that is actually non-magic Like Math or Language arts  you know nothing that important ( being sarcastic ).

The genre of this book is fantasy. Their is magic, wizards, and witches. I would love being a wizard. I would be able to cast spells, Apparate and Disapparate. I think that this is the only genre it goes into.

Is It Time for Cursive to Die? NO!

so this article was talking about how states are giving up the whole teaching the kids how to write in cursive. Did you know that more than 41 states no longer require students to learn cursive. I personally love writing in cursive ( even though I suck at it). I remember in my third grade class the teacher would make every body write the letters in cursive and we would have homework on the letters I miss those days. Any way enough of my old days. I think that cursive should be taught. Kids need to learn how (wait I say kids and I'm still a kid i think whatever) to read cursive because important history documents are written in this writing and teachers write like this so you need to know what they say about you "Just Kidding". Any way I hope that they don't get rid of Cursive.

Harry potter half blood prince 2

So Harry Potter is being very sneaky right now. He told Dobby and Kreacher to tail Draco. He told Dumbledore about what he heard and Dumbledore just said to forget about it because nothing is happening between Draco,Voldemort and Snape. So right now they finished their Apparition lessons and  harry can do and hermione can do it too. I wish I was a Wizard. Apparition seems so cool. Yes Harry said that it didn't feel cool but that is better than walking. Any I understand why people are scared by Voldemort. He killed is Dad, Grandfather and Grandmother and kind of killed his Uncle. Anyway Harry needs to get the memory from SlugHorn so he can but all of the memories together. Why Doesn't he just use the Felix Felicis potion?

my summary so far in Harry Potter HBP(Half Blood Prince.)

Okay I am liking this book even though i've seen the movie like fifty times. I know I know That is something your not supposed to do, but whatever. Harry potter was trying to find some information from Draco Malfoy so he used the invisibility cape and found some info but you know not everything goes right . Draco saw Harry get hit by Goyle's Trunk and he saw something white flash when he was climbing into the luggage compartment. So he petrified Harry and broke his nose which he could have done worse just saying. Then Tonks realized that something might being on since Draco closed all the shades of the compartment and she found harry and made better. One thing to add in the movie it is Luna Lovegood that found him. Any way. Later harry gets a book the was once owned by the "Half Blood Prince". So I'm not going let some of the good juices out you can read it.


So Harry is very Modest he never really thinks about himself. In the book it talks about the Christmas Party that SlugHorn Is having and one of SlugHorns friends asks harry if he could interview him and why he hasn't made one and Harry is just like Er. Okay Ron is being very annoying right now he is dating ******** ***** and Hermione is mad and he is making out with her like all the time "PDA" maybe someone should call Dolores on them. Any way Ron has to calm down.
