Who Had The Best Claim

In 1066 King Edward died. Since King Edward had no children 3 men wanted to be King, they were Duke William, Harold Godwinson and Harald Hardrada. They all had there reasons to become king. ether King Edward said they could or were just really powerful. They all wanted to be King but one day Duke William sent a fleet of ships to attack Harold Godwinson at the same time Harald Hardrada attack and got to england first so Harold raced up to fight Harald. Harold managed to fight of Harald and kill him. After the fight they found out that Duke William had landed so Harold raced down to fight Duke William but lost. Duke william became the king . I think Duke William should be the king because he is the most powerful out of all of them. He also has the pope on his side to help him.

Values and choices.

1.

I witnessed physical bullying in ISKL. People were shoving each other in the corridors around the seventh grade area. I wanted to say something to try stop it but the thought of that made me think that it could happen to me. I wish I did stand up for this person but I didn’t have the courage.

2.

In the book boy and stripped pyjamas a lot of unpleasant things happen. 1 of them was violence. Not many people like the Jews so Jews had limited options. They couldn’t say anything against the Nazi’s if they did they will be executed and so will their family.

1.What’s familiar about the incident Eve describes?

This happens in lots of schools from elementary to high school. It happens in ISKL and my old school.

2.What surprised you?

It suprized me that she didn't do anything about the popular girls taking the diary. I think she didn't because she really wanted to be a part of the popular group.

3.How does Eve’s story relate to bullying? Was she bullied? Did she bully? How would you explain her behavior?( perpetrator/bystander/victim?). make sure you justify( back up your answer.

She was one of the 3 people that got bullied in all sorts of ways. But for once she got invited to see something and it was about one of the other 3 people getting bullied. She didn't do anything about even though she new what that felt like to be bullied.

4.How did Eve’s need to belong affect the way she responded when another girl was being mocked? Why does her response still trouble her? How do you like to think you would have responded to the incident?

I would probably do what she did and go a long with it because that will most likely not happen again. If that was your only chance I would go a long with it because if you did something they would tell you to go away and you just wasted that chance.

5. Eve concludes “Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not last.’ What does she mean?

I think she means that she wants to be accept by other people apart from herself. She wants to be in a group with other people.

Introduction:

I was given a story about a person named La Chambon. This is based in southern France in a village. These rescuers risk there lives for Jewish refugee's. They hide them from the Nazi's

What did you learn from the stories of rescuers?

I learned that these people are very brave and really disagree with what the Nazi's are doing. La Chambon also helped a lot because it was something to do with there Religion. These people are brave because they were one of the ones who weren't afraid of Hitler. A lot of people followed Hitler because they feared what will happen to them if they did not do it.

What do they teach us about human behavior?

They teach us about bravery and to not forget what happened so it is not repeated. They showed us how they could help people. They teached us a lot about the religion of how it was part of there religion to do this. The rule of equality and respect to humans are common in most religions.

Victory!

I chose the poem Victory because it is interesting and I understand it the best. This poem is about Sonia Weitz and her father seeing each other for the last time. They new they were both going to die. Her father was once strong but then the Nazi's took him away to a concretization camp when he came back he was very weak. There last days together before they got separated. They were dancing and enjoying what they could, they new they would not have another chance. I found this poem sad and depressing because it is about 2 people knowing they will die and describing there last days together

HItler was lucky.

In this time peroid Hitler was very lucky. 1 of these lucky times were when The Treaty of Versailles was signed. Not many people like this so he said he could make this better if he was in control. Another example is when

the markets crashed he saw this as a great advantage because all the people weren't buying anything because of the treaty so he told everyone that he was against this and that he could make it all better if he was in control. After all this Hitler became chancellor. Then there was a big big surprise. The president died of old age and he was the only one stoping Hitler from becoming the president. Hitler again saw this as a opportunity and made himself president because he was second in command so it was his turn to become president. So he took control of germany.

The Nuremberg Race Laws

1. People who have three or four grandparents are considered a Jew. Regardless of what religion you are.

2. Aryanizing means that a lot of business owned by Jews were going to be over through by Germans. The germans would be buying them for fixed prices by Nazis

3.The Jewish doctors were not allowed to treat non Jewish people and Jewish lawyers aren't allowed to practice law.

4. They need to have a red J stamped of the card and new middle names Israel for males and sara for females for those who did not possess recognizably

5. This law is about marriage. You need a certificate to get married this certificate tells you that ou are in good condition and you are keeping fit.

The Treaty

I think that it is unfair to the germans. They only have a certain a mount of soliders and ships. If they were attacked they would be defenseless. So they could not stop other countries of attacking them. I also think it is fair because they have to pay for all the damage. That came to around 33billion dollars. Germany weren't the only ones who caused damage. I think 3/4s of it is fair and the other 1/4 is not fair.
