The children of the Holocaust

Children of the Holocaust

Questions for Maus I

1. Why do you think the author decided to depict the various characters as different animals (cats, pigs, mice) ?
    I think that he chose the G.Jews to be mice and the G.Christians to be cats because the mice are scared of the cats and they run and hide from them.

2.. Many people have critiqued the author for depicting such a serious topic in a comic book format. What is your opinion on this and why do you think he decided to do this?

I think that he did this in order to catch peoples attention and to entertain the reader in such a sad matter.


3. In chapter four we see some Jews who have been hanged by the Germans. What other "noose" is tightening in this chapter?


4. "Prisoner on the Hell Planet" in chapter 5 uses people as characters rather than animals. Why does the author do this? Why is Art portrayed as a prisoner?


5. Art ends the book by calling his father a murderer. Why does he use such a strong word and what do you think he means by this?

Holocaust survivior

I enjoyed hearing Edith's survivior story, its incredible to know that someone survived this horrible event. I think i would've given up, but I admire her for such acomplishment, I also take her as an inspirational person because is exactly like she said... "If I could do it you girls can do it" that motivates me to do big things in life, to keep pushing forward, to not give up because I know I can do it.

May 1st. march at Down Town San Diego

At the march on May 1st. I personally really enjoyed it. I went with my baby's dad it was amazing how many people were there. While we were walking I saw some racist white guy hit  this other man in the head, and he took the flag he had and threw it to the floor, that made me really mad, its hard to believe how much hate a person can have over an issue like this. However i am really happy to know that theres people out there that are willing to protest and speak up to be heard and make a change in this country.... AND REMEMBER CHICANOS UNIDOS JAMAS SERAN VENCIDOS!!!!

Howard Zinn at City College

At first i tought that this event was going to be BORING but when I was in there listening to those people talk it was inspiring and I really like it. The guy i liked the most was the guy that raped, because is true what he said at the end, that hip-hop now a days is only about bitches, hoes and clothes but really is not about that is about expressing your feeling abut what goes around the world in a different way, kind of like tu-pac did in his lyrics. Life now a days is really different...

>.<.>.< Kite Runner >.<.>.<

1. Which characters change as the story proceeds? Do they change for the better or the worse, and how do they change specifically?

        I think that Amir changed because when him and Hassan use to br little Amir was so messed up to him, but i feel like at the end he decided that Sorab was going to live with him because after all he did to Hassan tht was the least he could do in his loving memory.

2. Who was your favorite character and why? Which character did you dislike most throughout the story and why?

       My favorite character was Hassan because sometimes in this F****D up world everyone needs a friend as loyal as him. The character that I disliked was Assef because is unbeliabale how mean and disgusting person he is, he is a nasty bastard.

5. Which is your most favorite scene in the book? In the movie?

        My favorite part was at the begining when Amir cut the other boys kite and Amir told Hassan to run after it and Hassan told Amir.... "For you a thousand times over".

6. Which did you enjoy better, the novel or the movie? Please give specific reasons why.

         Me personally i liked more the book because it has more details and as you are reading you can make your own little movie in your head.

My Education, My  Future!

1. What resonated with you from President Obama's speech? What lines or phrases do you remember?
   
The thing that most resonated with me was when he said, "Not everyone is born being good  at everything,you have to preactice to be good".

The line that I remember the most is when he said, "Never give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself you're givin up on your country".
 2. What were the three most important words in Obama's speech? What do they mean?

Responsability, Education, and Effort.

3. Is Obama inspiring you to do anything? Is he challenging you to do something? What is it?

Obama is actually inspiring me to do something in life, life work hard to get to were I want to get, and to be who I want to be. He is also challenging me to do good in school to be able to succeed.

4. Obama said, "no one has written your destiny for you, you make your own destiny." What does this quote mean to you and your life?

What this quote means to me and my life is that, nobody else can decide what i want to do with future but me.

5. Obama stressed the importance of working hard in school and contributing to your country. He also asked, "What's your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve?" How would you answer this question if you were conversing with Mr. Obama?

My answer would be:

Sir I understand were you're comming from, and I can say that my contribution will be to do the best I can, confronting all obstacles that get in my way, and work as hard as I can to be succesful in life, and just like you did, I'm going to follow my dreams. And the problems that I'm going to try and solve will be those to help young people like me who are in grouphomes, living a tough life away from their parents and people who love them, I will try to help them understand that everything they're going trough will not last forever to hang in htere and follow their dreams.

~*~ I am poem ~*~

I am creative and strong

I wonder if true love really exists

I hear the sound of love in my baby’s heartbeat

I see reality everywhere in the streets

I want to be famous and successful

I am creative and strong

I pretend to be happy when I’m not

I feel motivated when I feel my baby kick

I touch the stars when I dream

I worry that nothing is going to be the same anymore

I cry when it’s time to say goodbye

I am creative and strong

I understand that nothing is handed on a silver plate

I say someday things are going to get better

I dream to have a happy family

I try to be a better person everyday

I hope someday my life gets better

I am creative and I’m strong

A PIECE OF CAKE, DISCUSSION!!!!

~*~ A PIECE OF CAKE ~*~

            

        To me this book was really interesting. It makes me realize that other people go trough harder situations than the ones i sometimes go trough, and that no matter what happens, as long as you have faith on yourself and you set goals for yourself, you can be anything you want to be. I also like this book alot because, it jus amazing how Cupcake goes trough all that stuff and still makes something out of her life, and she did this all by her self not thinking of what other people had to say, I feel like theres times in your life when you just have to ignore some comments that people make about you, and about the way that you're living your life, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and do your own thing, but always the right way, so nobody has to be judging you all the time, and always remember that the best way to prove people wrong, is by showing them you can do it!!!

     * WHAT YOU ENJOYED ABOUT THE DISCUSSION:      


         That we all got to hear each others opinions and ideas about this book, and i also enjoyded talking to my partner about the book, but i forgot her name, she was a really nice lady though.


     * WHAT YOU LEARNED ABOUT THE DISCUSSION:           


          What I learned about the discussion is that, no matter how messed up your life or your past is, you can make anything out of your life.
