Theodor Seuss Geisel also known as Dr. Seuss. Ted was born in 1904 in Springfield, Massachusetts and died 1991 in San Diego, California. Geisel died of throat cancer. He was an American writer, cartoonist, animator, book publisher, and artist who was known for his children’s books such as Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Geisel married twice with Helen Palmer Geisel (1927–1967), and Audrey Stone Dimond (1968–1991). Geisel attended Springfield’s Classical High School, and entered Dartmouth College in 1921 and graduated with the Class of 1925.  After the war, Geisel and his wife moved to La Jolla, California. Four years after his death, University Library Building was renamed Geisel Library in honor of Geisel for the generous contributions. Geisel was a Democrat, he supported Franklin Roosevelt. Geisel’s cartoons also called attention to the early stages of the Holocaust and denounced discrimination in America against African Americans and Jews. Geisel wrote over 60 books, and sold over 222 million copies which had been translated into 15 different languages. Although Geisel married twice he didn’t have any children, he always said “if you have ‘em ill entertain ‘em.”  Theodor had two siblings named, Marine and Herietta. Dr.Seuss was awarded with two Academy awards, two Emmy awards, a Peabody award and the Pulitzer Prize. So in today’s world Dr.Seuss is remembered by generations of children who have enjoyed Dr. Seuss’s colorful, rhyming world that he brought to life in his many books. This being America, today they made TV specials and films based on Seuss’s work.

Green eggs and Ham

I do not like them in a box.

I do not like them with a fox.

I do not like them in a house.

I do not like them with a mouse.

I do not like them here or there.

I do not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

I do not like them, Sam I am.

1. The Germans hung few prisoners to scare the other Jews.
2. Their relationship changed because he thought his father was strong but in the end he thought his father gave up on him.
3. It was significant because it like Elie’s father was leaving Elie with what he had left.
4. His faith had changed, he figured since faith has not help them by then, then it wouldn’t help them at all. He was sad because of the way he seen the Germans treat the Jews.
5. German were very mean, they threw pieces of bread into the crowds of Jews so they could see them fight over the loaf of bread.
6. Elie had a hard decision on decieding if he should help his father stay alive or let him die.
7. Hope had left Elie when his father was beaten to death.
8. Elie describes two different people but he’s actually describes himself. I think that sentence means that he has moved on in life but he will never forget that.

9. Elie made his story a little emotional but real which made some people not to respond to it but from him telling his story made people take more action and respond to his story even more.
10. I think the book was title “Night” because what he had experienced was something he never forget, and probably stored in his mind as a nightmare.

Man raises himself toward God

By the questions he asks him,

That is the true dialogue.

Man questions God and God answers.

But we don’t understand his answers.

We cant understand them.

Because they come from the depths of the soul,

and they stay there until death.

Why are you so anxious that people should believe what you say?

In your place, I shouldn’t care whether they believe me or not…

You will find the true answers, only within yourself.

After viewing “The Pianist”:

1. My reflection on the film so far is that the Germans truely had cold hearts. How could they have done all those horrible things to the Jews, and they killed and injured the Jews without the Jews doing anything. The germans had no power in doing that, what made them do that? The jews did absolutely nothing to be treated that way. Nazis felt as though they had all the power and could tell all the jews do anything they wanted them to. The nazis were only tough because they had guns and weapons. The worst part I seen from the bit of the film that hurted me the most was when the Nazis went to one of the Jew families house and told them to stand and the one man couldn’t because he was paralyzed and the one SS kept telling him to stand, which he couldn’t so they tossed him out the window. Then told the family to go outside and run, and while running they all got killed because the nazis shot all of them.

2. The steps the Nazis took to persecute the Jews of Poland were:
- Speech
-Avoidance
-Discrimination
-Physical Attack
-Extermination

(English1- LAP3):

1. So far I have learned that six million Jews were murdered, including 1,500,000 children. Jews were the Germans primary victims. The nazi’s killed all jews; homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, children, Soviet prisoners of the war, and political dissidents.The Jews were not the only victims of Hitler’s regtime, but they were the only group that the Nazis destroyed entirely. The German/Nazis did all this to Jews for no reason causing many lives and injuries to many of the Jews.
Questions:

• What made the Germans become so racist toward the Jews?

• Did the Jews do anything to the Germans for them to do what they did?

• Who gave the Germans the thought that they had the power and audacity to just go killing and demanding jews?

2. I find Choice 2 to be interesting because I’ll be able to research and learn about someone that was involved in the Jewish Resistance.
Steps I will need to begin this project are:

• Find someone to research and learn about

• Find out what was the persons position in the holocaust

• Were they apart of the holocaust

• All the basics and background information about this person

The film “Bullied” was a very emotional documentary. Just because someone chooses to like the same sex or wants to change their gender doesn’t give anyone the right to discriminate nor does it give people the right to pick on someone because of their sexuality. Due to the fact of the Principal and two Vice-Principals making the choice of not helping Jamie Nabozny was something I didn’t like hearing. For Nabozny having to go through what he went through was absolutely unexceptable, no one should have to be bullied. In fact, an adult should not accept that kind of behavior in school and not do anything about it. I feel as though people who pick on someone might be hiding something from the world or maybe they think by picking on someone makes them look cool and feel like a bigger person. What those kids did to Jamie was not human like. I was very happy to hear that Jamie took the school district to court and beat the case. In todays world, I believe Jamie probably has a lot of homosexuals and the non-homosexuals looking up to him because of the leadership he took upon himself to do what he did. But in all reality bullying people doesn’t prove anything. Bullying leads to many things such as running away, suicide, or hurting the bully in ways that can affect the victims life. I’ve never been the type to judge people by their sexuality. I look at it like this, everyones a human, no ones perfect, and people should be respected for who they are. Someone who is apart of LGBT isn’t any different from someone who is straight, they’re still the same person.

I am currently reading a book about a young boy named Junior. He is different from everyone and considers him self to be retarded. Junior is always picked on by everyone except his best friend Rowdy. But Rowdy always sticks up for Junior because Junior can not defend himself. Junior was also born with a few medical problems. That is a small summary on what I’ve read so far in the story “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian”.

I am from Phily ,

Where drugs are “cool”.

I am from humor,

Where laughing at others is cool.

I am from where parties pop,

To where someone ends up getting shot.

I am from children having children,

To there mothers beating them.

But that’s not where I’m from,

That’s just where I be.

In all reality where I’m from it rules.

Where I’m from adults tell you,

“Don’t be bad, just stay in school”.

That’s where I’m from.

The restless streets of North Philadelphia.

Now can you tell me where YOUR from?
