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.

What are the connections between morals and religion?

Morals are rules. Different religions have different morals. Every religion connects to morals. All religions model morals through tradition and stories.

Hinduism connects to morals because they believe that every living thing has a soul. That might influence and connect to morals because they would treat everything differently and their morals might build off kindess and respect. Christianity connects to morals through its stories. The stories all teach kindness. Buddhism follow the moral respect and kindness. Lots of religions believe on the circle of birth, life, death and then rebirth. If you follow the moral/rules of the religion then you would die and go to heaven and not be reborn.

Odysseus Summary

In chapter two Odysseus and his men reached an island. Him and his crew searched the island for food and supplies. They found a cave, which held a Cyclops. The men were trapped in the cave and needed to escape. They blinded the Cyclops and snuck out of the cave.

Myths

I preferred Daedalus and Icarus. I found it more interesting because Daedalus and Icarus got trapped in a maze that Daedalus had made. They had to hurry if they wanted to get out alive because they had a Minotaur chasing them. Both the stories had emotion and pain/rage. They also had bad but not good endings.
