Genocide

With all the hatred that is going on in the world today there is still genocide. Many cultural groups bring forth alot of hate towards other groups which cause a huge conflict between both groups. Many times with situations like this neither groups do not want to take a stand and stop the violence that they are causing. Something like this take time before the crime stops. I do believe it takes a strong person to change all of this.

Reading Class

Growing I did enjoy reading books, books that I thought was very interesting to me. As I got older I stop reading them it was not that I was not interested in reading any more but I became lazy. As time progressed I noticed how essential reading is.Everything around us considers reading. One of the biggest test that we had to take to get in to college had a reading section (SAT'S). Now that I am older I wish that I read more and I sometimes truly do regret it. Taking this class would be a great start and I do believe at the end of the semester I would have that motivation to read again. So far I do enjoy the class as well as the teacher. She motivates me alot and I am so happy that I have her as a teacher. For example I did not know much about Malcom X I have heard of him but I did not know about his difficulty in reading until I read about his background information. His story inspired me alot and it made realize how important it is to read not only because it fundamental but because it helps you build a better vocabulary. I believe after taking this class it would motivate me and it would benefit me in man ways.

How I felt about the story "Night"

After reading the story "Night" I thought it to be a very sad story. Having the author talk about his holocaust experience made me realize that was the hardest obstacle that he had to face. I consider the Nazis to be very cruel and harsh people. These were people who were very cold hearted and did not care about anyone . What has hurt me the most was when they were burning innocent babies. What these people were doing it felt as though there was know purpose for any human being to live because it seems like they were killing any and everybody. Personally I believe what these people as well as the author went through was torture. I do feel sad for them especially for those who died during the holocaust. After getting an over all idea of what the story was about it made me realize the difficulties that many people have to face in different cultures especially those who have experienced the holocaust tragedy.
