Unhappy Times


Yesterday, as we watched the show of Oprah, I wrote many notes. Not because i was told to, but because these things that happened are things to remember. These are things like how after killing people or sometimes before, they would shave the head before burning their bodies in a pit or oven. Once they gathered the hair they would sell it to clothing factories. Also, first thing when the prisoners arrived at the major camp they were split into two groups. Mothers and children were sent tho the left and told not to worry but take off their clothing in order to take a shower. The men and able to work were sent tot the right where they were put to work. Once they were striped of everything they had the mothers and children were take into gas chambers and locked inside to be killed. It took them fifteen minutes to finally suffocate. Personally i would like to know, why. Why would someone do a thing so terrible. I know they say because he wanted to rid the world of "impurities" but i would like to know what exactly triggered Hitler to start this war.

I am honestly not wanting to read the book more now than before because I know it will upset me in an extreme way. To hear a first person story of what happened during this dark day in world history would be great for understanding what exactly happened but it is such dark days in time that I don't want to know much more. I'd prefer to be in the dark on many of these things, like how these people would kill without reason or being called into question by others. I hear that it is a good book, but it is hard to have to read about what someones torture did to another person. Over all, i can't wait to read this book, but feel i have to brace myself. I hope for a day where there will never be anything even clost to what happend then again. This book sounds like a good book wraped around a bad time of life.That is all.

Hello :)

Hello,
          My name is Rebecca. I am 15 years old and am a sophomore at C.C.H.S. I love reading fiction adventure books. I find that when i read these books I can easily place myself within them. I love reading at my own pace. Currently my favorite book is still The Ghost and the Goth. I read this book last year and it is still currently my favorite book. I do not enjoy having to read books that are completely nonfiction and biographies or autobiographies. When having to read these I personally hardly understand anything.
          Lastly, I started reading the book Across the Universe a few weeks ago. I have yet to finish it but so far a lot has happened. Starting with the first section of this book there is a far off planet that has been said to be able to stand human life. Once this planet was realized people started to build a giant ship that would be able to hold human life on it for three hundred years. In order to keep life going in order on the new planet they had to freeze people that knew how to do things like run a country. Also the had many scientists come along to help with the farming and seed genetic splicing. A girl was frozen along with her parents and were to be sent to the new planet on this huge ship. About fifty years before they were supposed to dock at the new planet something bad happened. Supposedly this had occurred before. People were being woken up in their frozen "coffins" and left to drowned. Amy, the frozen girl, was woken up fifty years to early. Luckily she was saved by the doctor that was supposed to look over the frozen society and a young boy about seventeen that was to someday become the eldest (person who watches over everyone on the ship and makes shore everything is going steadily) of the ship, Elder. They now have to find the person that keeps murdering the frozen people on the ship and put a stop to it.
