Ashes of Roses

Quote 1:"What kind of work will a child find?" Elsa shrieked. "Especially a girl. You have no sence at all."
Page:83
Significance:Well, I choosed this quote because sometimes when you want to do something alone theres always someone who is willing to tell you not to do it. For example, in this case Rose went out to look for a job. Roses mom said that she had permission to go but Elsa had to be telling her that how can a child find a job; like telling Rose why is she getting a job thats not going to help you at all, its not worth it.
Connection:I would say I have a connection to this because everytime I want to do something alone so no one has to say anything about it, someone ends up saying something about the thing I did which sort of feels bad. Not in a bad, bad way but it makes you feel like you dont want to go for it any more, and thats what Rose felt when Elsa told her that.
Question:What do you think is Rose's main reason of finding a job?Why?

Quote 2:"Why cant it be us the ones who do that?" Maureen chimmed in. "That would be more fun"
"I'm sure it will" I said. "But we're not after havin' fun here. This is a job we're getinng paid for,if the two od ye will stop complaining"
Page:89
Significance:The reason I had chosen this quote is because in life theres going to be times were you want to have fun but you cant but theres things that get sirious. When it comes to being sirious things like something important that you really need like money for example; things change.
Connection:This connects to me, maybe to others. For example theres homework I need to finish before class starts someone is going to come and say "Why are you doing your homeowork now? Well any ways lets go play for half& hour" but all you want to do is your work.
Question:Why do you think Rose is really into getting paid so quickly?Why?

Immigration.

Immigration.
To me an immigrant is someone who comes to a specific state/place without being born there The certain person comes to a certain state/place for some specific reason for example a person that was not born in the United States, comes to America would obviously wants to work and live a better life because the place they lived wasn’t good enough for them (on there living style).I mean not all Countries and States are the same not all Governments are the same; I mean there all different and California is one of the biggest States that has most advantages of doing things. Even though there are people who don’t like any one who is from other Country they should be treated the same because they are a reason why we have Mexican food, Chinese food ect. There are so many things other states/countries don’t have; and America has a lot.
My feeling for immigrants are fine because I know that they come here for some really good reason, like living a better life, supporting there family with food and money. I am connected to immigrants because some of my friends parents are immigrants and if it wasn’t for there parents I wouldn’t be there friends, also because without immigrants we wouldn’t have any other languages or food and I’m not just saying because there immigrants; not every other person is in American here either. I do have friends and relatives that had immigrated. I know people who were born in Mexico and grew all his life in San Diego. I mean without theses kind of things we wouldn’t have all this we have now, like for example the languages there’s so many because people that come from a specific place come to tell or teach others to be able to understand each other better. Friends that I have come from another country and they just come here to help/support there family from another state. They come here to live better, have a better job to win money to send to their family. The reason that I think immigrants come from another country to the United States is because we feel that America has better advantages, better government. The government helps us to be organized and helps people with there jobs and things people really need, so there’s basically a reason come here. Freedom is something we all need that not everyone has, with help from each other its better for us to be able to comprehend from each one another. So I really dont think theres something wrong with it.

BOOK REVIEW

Life of Pi

by: Yann Martel

Rate: :) :) :) =3

I've never seen an animal talk but in this book, animals do talk, So like theres a guy named Pi and hes a loving & caring guy who suffers . When he's at a place he doesnt get used
to Pi is really sentive he misses Canada. Homeland and his family , in the place that
hes in they treat them right with respect, because Pi is a religious guy who belives in
his God.
The reason this book gets my attention is because of how the cargo-ship sinks in
the middle of the ocean and he finds a boat which then comes along a bitten hyena
and a zebra with a broken leg who's about to die. Badly they had to spend months
there;about 227 days.
Everything in this book would be confusing in other words i can say its very
interesting and cool to read because its based on a tiger who suffers in the first few
chapters but the he gets confidence from others in the boat. But confusing at the time
because it say's somothing on the book but then it appears he had done something
else. As reading this book it made me feel is was an adventure /mistery book
because of Pi story telling about richard and the black panther while on the boat and
also mistery because peing in a boat for 227 days is not good.
confused, is what i feel about learn very much from it but was intersting how
sometimes i could connect from his life to mine.
Yannmatel a very good writer who made me feel get more interesred in the
bookeverytime & how Pis life changes during the book & how religious he can be.

CHAPTER 13
Are We Heading Home?
“Where are the rest; is there any one else on this island except you ?” the Officer asked Jack.
“Um, well, well NO! um no there isn’t” Jack responded back.
Then along came Ralph, screaming & running toward the Officer
“Finally we are rescued!” Ralph stopped right in front of the Officer ,
“You are here to take us back home right? Right? Right?!”
The officer turned and looked at Jack. Jack’s face turn into a hot pink redish color. The officer turned back to Ralph and said
“Yes I am here to take you back home, but before we go, is there anyone else included in this like is there anyone else on this island? Is there any dead bodies that you’ve seen?”
Both Jack & Ralph turned to look at each other. Then both looked at the officer and replied very nervously as a no. Jack said no there isn’t any dead bodies that I or Ralph have seen, “So it just um me and Ralph” Jack said. Ralph responded back
“Yes officer it’s just us me and Jack” He made a small smile. Then everyone stayed quiet no one said anything after a few seconds.
“Okay! Then; so officer are you taking us home on your ship?” asked Ralph.
The Navel Officer responded back as a yes.
“Are you boys sure that you both are the only boys on this island and there’s no one else here?”
Nervously Ralph and Jack responded. “Yes officer there is no one else here on this island, any more questions?!”
Navel Officer didn’t respond back, he looked around and saw a small piece of the conch left he walked toward it, grabbed it and picked it up & he stared at it for a while. Everything was back to silent. After staring at it for a while he left it back as it was and looked back to the boys and asked once again
“Boys, are you sure there is no one else on this island?”
Jack responded back
“No! Navel Officer there is no one on this ISLAND! So can we please go already? The Navel Officer rolled his eyes & Ralph took a seat on a heavy, burned piece of wood.
“Yes Navel Officer can we just go we told you #1: There’s no other people on this island, #2: There is no dead bodies #3 We are so sure there no one else living on this stranded island” said Jack.
The Navel Officer walked back to his place without saying anything he had this feeling Jack and Ralph were lying to him. Jack rolled his eyes at the Navel Officer. The Officer asked one more time
“Boys are you positive that that there is no one else here?!” Jack & Ralph said nervously “okay okay, yes but we didn’t do it.
Officer asked “Where was the last time you two saw the bodies”. Then Jack and Ralph stayed silent, Jack responded
“I don’t really remember” he put his both hands together and looked down at the ground.
“Can we leave now?” said Ralph. Then the officer took them to his ship and then they left. Jack & Ralph were surprised and really excited that they finally got rescued.
Something was wrong with the ship; it seems that something got stuck to the ship and then they heard something cracked. They got scared. The ship was acting crazy & then suddenly the ship broke from the back because apparently it wasn’t just a little rock it was a big one which made the boat get smaller which then jack accidentally fell out but lucky him he grabbed on to the boat.
“Ralph!!! HELP ME!” said Jack. Ralph tried to help him up but Jack was a little to heavy which made Jack fall of and since no one knew how to swim they both drowned. “Oh no” said the officer while grabbing on to the piece of the boat. “Im scared they all said”. The waves were going on fast and it was cold; The Officer finally fell and drowned too. Which now there all dead and no one survived.

Lord Of The Flies Post #8

Samnerics Journal
-The Last hunt :(

Today we Ralph & Piggy & ofcourse us woke up around the same time.We needed to fins Piggys specs because without his specs he goes blind.& its not going to be helpful if he cant see. Well Im not sure we'll see.
After everyone had woken up Ralph decided to call this meeting with what was left of our tribe. when everyone was ready and seated Piggy with a hurry stood up took the conch and started specking.It was wierd.So he went on and on for a long time about how we have to go to the castle rock and get Jack to give Piggy back his specs. We all sort of sniggered at that ridiculous idea because we all know that Jack is a person that when he takes something he needs or wants he wont give it back for sure. After all we all finally decided that we should go to Jack's camp and get back the specs for Piggy. It took us a while to get to Castle rock because we had to lead Piggy there with us because ofcourse he cant see so it didnt matter as much as long as we got there. When we got there the first thing we saw were "armed guards". But then out of no where Jack wobbled out of the forest taking a dead pig behind him. He walked over to our group with no experssion. No one knew what was to happen next. He looked at all of us closely and then told Roger and another boy to take me and Eric away and tie us up. We sort of new that this was going to happen -___-. As they took us away we could hear the fight between Ralph and Jack and as soon as Roger tied us up he walked back to the top of castle rock where there were three boulders lined up to be pushed down the mountain into trespassers. We were able to see Piggy get hit by a rock which was then his death. It wasnt good. We watched as the boulder came crashing down the mountain and hit Piggy. We watched the conch be broken into millions of pieces and Piggy crash onto a rock with his head burst open and red brains flowing out into the ocean. the remains of Piggy were soon swept in to the ocean by the strong current. Ralph ran into the forest away from everything escaping Jack and his tribe. After Jack realized he was gone he and Roger walked straight to us. Jack and Roger beat us until we had to agree to join his tribe. We were the official guards of castle rock. We had no idea of what Ralph could possibly be doing right now. We got very afraid until we realized it was Ralph but ofcourse it was night already. He wanted us to run away with him and in truth we did but we were afraid of Jack & Rodger. We told him that tomorrow we were creating a cordon across the island and we were going to hunt him, and just for the hunt Roger had sharpened a stick at both ends. Ralph told us where he was going to hide and we had to keep the savages away from that spot. As the sun came up telling everyone in Jack's tribe it was time to hunt Ralph, Jack came over to us and said that if we do not tell him where Ralph was hiding he might just beat them once more, he pulled a diddle on us. We ended up telling him.Woops. But then everything happend really fast we couldnt belive it.

Lord Of The Flies Post #7

Sam,Eric,Ralph and I were sitting near a ''fire''.Now this "fire turned into wood & ashes now we have no rescue.By this time Simon wasnt here he was still gone, all of us we just not talking we were just sitting there.All I had in my mind right at that moment was about Jacks plan about having a feast.I think I agree with him but I dont know. I felt hingy just thinking about that. "Ralph?what do you think about going to the feast.the feast that Jack had in mind? Ralph said we would go and get some food and then leave.When we where getting there every one was eating & dancing it looked awesome.So we got handed some meat ;as we ate we saw Jack there with all his face painted it was akwoard. He ordered his hunters to do the dance just to celebrate of killing a pig. They started to dance and chant " kill the pig, cut her throat, spill her blood" over and over again. I didn't join in. All of the sudden the chanting got louder and it was changed to "kill the beast!" Everything was so blurry through my one eye, because SOMEONE had broke one of my lens ehem. But whatever .I heard it! Simon's voice saying something about a dead man, yelling . Theguys were not just standing there around him, they were stabbing him and tearing at him and biting him. They thought he was the beast. I saw Ralph next to me, just standing there. There was nothing we could do. Simon fell over the cliff and into the ocean, he dead body surrounded by glowing fish.In the morning Ralph was obviously upset."Simon" he said"It was an accident" I said."It was murder""No!

Lord Of The Flies Post #5&

The Beast;
20Jacks
Oh my God the meeting yesterday was kind of boring we berly did any thing.So then I started walking and I heard Sam and Eric yellin'; I wondered why, what was wrong. As I got closer I heard that Sam and Erci were saying how they probably saw the beastie;I was a little creeped out. So then Ralph decided to call a meeting. It was about bestie and a way that we can hunt it. I felt a little wierd about Ralph I dont know why but I felt like we were back to being freinds but then out of no where he becomes crazy yelling at the kinds and sending Sam and Eric back to the mountain; it was a little wierd. Then me,Simon and Ralph were getting prepared to go hunt the bestie.
When we are all ready we start the search. I was all up for going in but no the rest just got scared. I wouldve gone in there if Simon and Ralph wouldnt be scared.So I say "what are you scared to go!" he replies "no." so we start up the mountain and wind starts to pick in.We continue our huntand when we get to the other side of the mountainitstarted to get darker so we decide to get back with the rest because Ralph says we should go back and finish it in the morning. . out off no were Robert talks which had forgot about him because he was so quiet. When we get in the forest we notice a odd shaped thing. Of course i wasn't scared but the other 2 are to afraid.Their get scared easily

Chapter 5
2-Simons Entry

Today Ralph decided to call a meeting. So the first thing Ralph starts to take control. The first thing he talks about is how everyone seems to ignore the fire, which to me also seems like the most important thing. Then he started talking about were we were supposed to go to the bathroom and how we are supposed to eat. But sense I didn’t really care I started to think about my secret place and how nice and peace full it is.
After a couple minutes had gone bye I heard them talking about the beastie. Which sort of caught my interest. One kid started talking about how he thought he saw the beastie and that it comes out of the ocean during the day. Right away Jack grabs the conch and goes against what Ralph said. He says that the littluns shouldn’t be scared of the beastie if there s one and if there is we will hunt it down. Then when the meeting is over Ralph, Piggy, and I get together and Ralph tells use that he might give up being a leader.

2-Piggy
That Wasnt Nice From Him!
I really dont know what Im still doing here with these people that can sometimes me mean!. All I do is sit and watch the littleuns all day long & Im not doing anything wrong It was ludicrous . I can t really do anything i cant hut because if my asthma and I dont really have the mood to go out with the hunters and hunt pigs I dont think Im the hunting typeof person.I just stay here all day doing nothing. Simon and Roger are trying to build shelters were we can live in which is kinda nice o f them.
Kack is getting kind of blantant because now all he wants to talk about is pig all he wants to do is hunt for pigs hes always saying '' I want meet!'' which is kinda of annoying too.Jack wanted to go hunting like is he was the balm, so he made up an wierd idea of painting faces so the pigs wont reconize them.So he invited samneric to hunt, they all went together. Samneric were supposed to be watching the fire, and it went out but I bet if Ralph finds out hes gonna be really mad at them because the fire can get out of control in no second. While they were gone the fire went out and a ship went by! We could have been rescued! But they had to go and get meat! that was hopeless! And then Jack hit me in the stomach and slaped me in the head, my specs came off and they broke! Now I only have one eye!I was being belligerence to him.He should of had m0re decoroum because that wasnt nice.We need a new leader because this isnt working!

Theres Fire!!
Here I'm the leader so I get to decide the things that happen on this island.I'm the person in charge; I decide who talks and who doesn't.Anyways things are getting hard and Piggy is getting is annoying us & keeps telling us that we are not gonna be rescued because we are here on a island that no one knows that even crashed.But still I don't belive him.So we ended up with a good idea.& to me Piggy is such errant he's just not helping me out.Instead of Piggy saying that we're never gonna be rescued he needs to give officious because we really need it. After a while we decided that if we go up a mountain and we make a little fire we might get someones attention to come and rescue us.So we all cooraoperated to do something for example some came and pick up wood while a couple were taking care if the wood.When we were done with that we made a little fire but I dont think with that small fire we can capt someones attention so we needed a bigger fire so we got an okay fire going by pinching Piggy's specs. The kids were capering around happily and everyone had such an ebullience about them because of the huge fire. Then I just turn to Piggy to see what was his reaction & saw the martyred on his face.& again Piggy with his story about the kid that ended up dead.

I'm the better leader(:

Here we are,and Im trying to find out where we are and all I can hear is really wierd noise that was really loud,probably people where there maybe not who know's.So we started from the mountain,and ofcourse I was at the front while the rest if the choir were behind me;so everyone didn't want to keep walking because they were tired they were probabably martyred by all that walking and really hot.All that ebullanience needed a rest but we kept walking.Next thing you know I found a kid and a ''fatty''right next to each other near by a beach; and so that kid was making that loud noise that sounded really weird and all he was doing is blowing on a shell that brought us over here.
So we talked to them and we found out that we were in an island and theres no posability we can be rescued because theres berly anything over here on this side. Me and the choir asked the names of each one of them and when we found out ''fatty'' was named Piggy all the choir started laughing and capering which Piggy didnt like at all; and also met Ralph.
So then we were deciding on who should be the leader either me or ''fatty'' because he was officious and smart and I was sort of smart but not that smart.But everyone voted that Ralph should be the leader.(bad thing they didnt voted for my choirs)So I gave him an incredulous look but instead he smiled at me which I didnt think he would do.So then everyone was trying to do something around if we probably found some help but apperantly we were the only ones.

Final Romek Post; Post #4

1-The most shocking part of the story was when the soldiers i think were killing Romek because every time they will ask him were something was and he responded that he didn't know they would hurt him in some way but also when his younger was watching everything. The most shocking part of that is seeing one of your family members get hurt for like no reason.

2- Well i believe he got a better job since like along time & I think that this job (feeding dogs) was a good job for him because he was safe & got food to eat. I think it was a good job for him because if you reread some other prisoners don't have that much good jobs as he does. Also he was protected from the weather.

3- In the book David Faber discribes what he was seeing & what he was feeling and he described it by saying that he didnt like it he felt very strange beeing there because everything was horrible.

4- Well I don't really get the question but i believe that for him is glad that its over because no one will like to live a life like that. Because its very shocking.But also sad at the time because he had no one to survive with; most of his family died so thats kind of sad.But at the moment he feels glad that he had survived.

5- David Faber's book, Because of Romek, should be required reading in all middle schools, high schools, and universities because all students need to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust.I really agree with this because I think people should know what the hoocaust is & to appreciate what we have noe because before it wanst like this it was more horrible.this book gives alot that I even felt good and sometimes sad.So this should be riquired to many people to see how life had changed & to see how people lived before.

ROMEK POST #3

1-Well I think that through out the beginging it was sad but when he kept describing his brother and how they were hurting him I thought it was kinda sad to like see someone hurting one of youe family memebers without doing anything.So I thought it was sad.{i kinda cried a little during the ending} & so I thought most of the things if I was in his position.

2-I think that Romek was really nice to be helping the Russians Partisans,instead of just going home and tring to hide from them.& So I blelives that most of the Russians are really couragous and brave well because there doing something that not most other Russians are doing.And proud of them because there was a chance for them to die and so thats why there couragoues.

3-Well when we were reading the book the guy who was trying to kill Romek said that David was to young to know much, I thought that because I guess they were kinda right because he was to young to know what was actually happening.

1-Well I learned that Jewish people needed to die [like suicide]; they were needed to be killed by the Nazis,and when the Nazis had killed then they were to be thrown into the graves.Its really intresting because how can they just killed people for what they belive in or their race.[Its kind of intresting because we dont do that]



2- A)Well its kind of intresting how David's Family is; because its seems that they all have diefferent personalities.For example The Mom is very caring and sensitive to others.The dad is very caring to but he can also be strong like brave.He Can also be scared moslty because of the Nazis and what thier doing.One of David's sister can be nice and a little sensitive.For the rest of her sibilings are good behaving and really nice.And for David he is really brave and I think he can do almost anything.
2-B)I think he remembers all of the things that happened to him because in the 1st part he still young so he can still rememeber some stuff. Although he grew older I still consider that he can still remember that because if you imagine something bad maybe its something that you cant forget until a long time.

3-In my opinion David is really brave because he was the one who had safe his father altough it was really dangrous of him.So he can also make different decions of whats the right thing to do.He is very loyal to his family well because whatever his family tells him to do he still does it no matter what and he also had a strong desire to share this book to other people based on his life.

Hours read-3
1.Latley I think its been interesting because its great that Young had made it to America and that she didnt have to live through bad stuff she had before. So I felt really happy for Young that she made it and she didnt have to pass through all those bad things she had to go through so Youn must of felt excited when she got there;it must of felt great that she did leave Combodia because she wasnt having a good time most of the time so I feel great for her. :)
2.Well also felt kinda sad during the book because family her family memebers were dying and four died. At the same time i could feel bad and good to be her bad because if I was her I wouldnt want any family members to die and good because she was able to be alive after all those bad things she has gone through.
3.How do you think Young will live her life now that she is in America? Do you think she will have a better life or a bad one?WHy?

1-The book so far has been preety sad an interesting because why would they do that just kill the parents for like no other reason. Well I think they had to do it any ways because it was already there plan so ya. But its also not fair that they just killed them because they had a a life to live and to take care of the family liek kids and stuff.

2-Well it has been also sad because Keav died and all she wanted to do is see her father'but I guess she wasnt in time.Well I guess if she hadent gotten her that sick she could of had time to see her father.Also what was really sad was that they lost her body somewhere in the clinic and there was no way they could of bury her.[because you cant bury something if the body isnt there]
3-Do you think that Khmer is worring more about the trading more than she neds to be paying attention to the people who needs food and starving?

First They Killed My Father Post #1

1-Well so far I think the book has been sad, and I think that because at the begining the Family had to evacuate and kinda leave the U.S because of a bomb the U.S had to put. It's really sad when a family has to leave a place they kinda had been living for a while. I also think that its really hard to belive that because imagine the U.S or some state u live in putting a bomb and then you have to evacuate when you have no other place to live.So the begining was sad for what they had to do.

2-Well I think that 1 of the main character would be Young because she is kinda like a talkative person and like to me she is very talkative and like kinda whiny too. So this character is new to me because usually there is more other characters that talk alot, but in this book she is more like a talkative and whiny person. Plus this book is a little bit familiar to So Far Away From Bamboo Grove because there is a part were the family has to move because they had to go away from s place they were living in.
3-Where do you think they would go live since they didnt let Khumer know to what place they were staying?
