Reflection Questions 152-156

152. I think that Elie Wiesel wrote the book so he can sort of get it off of his chest and to inform people about what happened and to make sure that it never happens again

153. He choose Night as the title because the whole time that he was in the camps it was very dark and scary and that's what usually night is so that's why he picked that title

154. Wiesel changes because he loses faith and hope in God, after all there things he saw and what had happened to him and the Jews he believes that no God would ever let that happen

155. What he dos is that he loses all hope and he only cares about himself only in the camp and no one else, he doesn't think about his mom, dad, or even his sisters

156. In Night mass killings are done, they kill them because of a certain race or religion. Its happening in many places today like in Kenya, Vietnam, Rwanda, Iraq, Cuba and many more places. Many of them are using the same things that Hitler did. The genocides in Africa are circumcising girls like Hitler did. Also think that a big national organization should be created that unites big countries together to tr and stop the genocides. I think that it should be called N.A.O.G (National Allies Of Genocide). I think that it should contain America, Russia, Germany and other big countries to help in the stop of genocide. That they should split them and put in certain places to help stop.

Rwanda- I compare it to the holocaust because they killed a certain type of race which was the Tutsi and in 100 days they killed 1,174,000 almost the same as the Germans

Burma- The genocide happened becuase of political power and that sort of happened because the goverment want ot show how strong they are

Congo- In Congo about an estimated 3 to 4 million killed and thats almost how many they killed in the Holocaust

North Korea- I compare it to that because they put them in prison camps and killed them their just like in the Holocaust

Armenia- This was right before World War II and Hitler got some of his ideas from that

Hansel & Gretel

Mom: Those little runts, I have to work overtime and two jobs. I always go to sleep with an empty stomach because of them. I was sleeping at night and I thought about an idea to leave them and let them get lost and die. The problem is that I have to convince the father. I have to make it sound so that it will benefit us. I should give them some food so the father won't worry that much. I shouldn't give any to those little pieces of s***. I wake them up a night and I gave them bread and told them that we were getting wood. I leave them and I slowly walk away. I go home and creep in bed. While I'm sleeping I think about how good I'm going to be eating. I wake up in the morning and I see them there in their room. So I have to take them in deeper at night. When I wake up in the morning I'm filled with joy and happiness. I'm so happy that I get up and start dancing outside. I step on a a sharp rock and I get a really deep cut on my leg. I bandage it up but two days later it gets infected. I get gangrene and it spreads all over and I die.

Adam's Diary

I wake up and I see that the moon has gone away hmm....I wonder what happened to it. Well I see that the sun came up. I wonder if any one can reach. But of course they'll probably get burned. And the stars I wonder if the stars can be reached but I don't care I have better things to do. It very cold out. I wonder if I could build a shelter of some sort. And after I'm done I'll probably go to walk and see if I see anything. As I'm walking around I see a girl...she keeps following me but I get to know her and she really is smart but she talks to mush and she doesn't listen. As I stand at her grave I think of how much she used to talk but I miss it.

Fable:The Blowfish and Cthulhu

The Cthulhu awoke from his slumber in his cave underwater. He swims around for a midnight snack and come across a Blowfish. He grabbed it and was about to eat it but the Blowfish screams out " Don't eat me I'm poisonous and its to strong for you, you'll die, wait till morning and there's better and meatier fish to eat". Cthulhu said " I don't care my stomach is strong enough and I'm much bigger". Then he eats the Blowfish. So as he's swimming towards his cave he gets a horrible pain in his stomach and he starts getting weaker and he dies.

"Don't underestimate the power of others"


Cthulhu (Ke-thoo-loo)

The Outcasts of Poker Flat

If you had to blame someone or something for the outcasts' deaths, who/what would you blame and why?

If I had to blame it on someone it would be on the outcasts them selves. I would blame it on them because if they weren't so bad they wouldn't be in that situation. If Uncle Billy wasn't a drunk then he wouldn't have been kicked out. If John Oakhurst didn't gamble so much he wouldn't been kicked out or even tried to be executed. And if Duchess and Mother Shipton shouldn't been prostitute. So that's the reason why I think that it was their fault because they were in that situation and why they died.
