(A).  The horror human kind is capable of.

In my study of history, I have seen the horrors of human kind, but the sheer amout of slaughter is undescribal in one sentence. 

An example would be the gas chambers or the mass graves, or the seven tons of human hair.

     If Elie were to come to Thomas More he would simply say to respect everyone and to never hate.  He would probably say these things in a much more profound manner than I but he would say them non the less.  However, his main talking point would be to, take nothing or granted and to be lucky that you live in the greatest country in the world and that you will never have to go through what he did. 

What would you do?

1.   Yes, his death is a necessary loss.  Its either kill one or lose four hundred, there is no option.

2. Kill the child.  It will probably be less painful than the furnace and more lives are saved in the long run, and either way an innocent will die.

3. No, never leave a man behind. Especially your son who is weak and needs you.

mrs Schacter has lost her all in her family except her son.  She basically goes mad screeming that she sees flames and fire.  Her role in the story is that she forshadowes the ovens and hellish living conditions the jews would find at the death campsthroughout Europe.

     Things that forshadow are the deportation of foreign Jews, Moishe the Beadle, taking of possestions, wearing the star of David.

Quotation Form (Woked with Danny Schwantes and John Dereszynski)

     In Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery," irony is illustrated through the community event of the lottery.  In this unnamed town, the people have a mandatory lottery. Initially, the reader begins to assume that the lottery is an event where something is won, but as the story progresses, one realizes that the lottery is a death sentence.  At the beginning of the story the lottery seems like a good event to attend, the kids are playing outside the men are gathered talking about  taxes and farming etc. "some boys soon followed his example, gathering the smoothest and roundest stones." We notice that they are gathering stones for something, but we don't know yet. We just assume that it's a nice day, and people are gathering together, to have some type of lottery, but we do not know what that is yet. Later we realize the stones are for something much worse than we anticipated. "The pile of stones the boys had made earlier was ready." We then come to the conclusion that the stones and lottery have to deal with a yearly sacrificing. In conclusion we can tell that this is no ordinary lottery, and you most certainly do NOT want to win, but it is a tradition in that village, but they don't notice the harm it does to others.

Person vs Society

    Definition-  The main character faces a delema with the community.  They get arrested, they don't fit in with society. 

Example:  Gran Torino 



     In the movie Gran Torino Walt Kowalski (played by Clint Eastwood) is an example of  of a dying generation of Americans in a changing, politally correct, and ethically corrupt society.

Tell vs Show

I.
T-  The room was a mess.

S-  My eyes popped out of my skull at the sight of the pigsty in front of me.  There were shirts sweat shirts and variouse assorted clothes left on the floor and draped over everything, toys and books galore scattered on the floor.  The desk was littered with papers and the bed left unmade.

II.
T- It was boring

S-  The students sat speechless in class fidgiting with various items. The teachers lecture seemed endless, a fun class now in the doldrums because of one question.  Even worse was the fact that Mrs Thomas seemed unaware of her students  extreme lack of interest.

6 month blog

     If I had 6 months to live I would probably want to do somethings I have never done before with my family.  I would want to go sky diving, to drive Rout 66 or travel out of the country.  Other than that I would just want to go back to places I have already been to like Disney World in Florida, Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, the Outer Banks in North Carolina, the Black Hills in South Dakota, or Savannah Georgia.  I think I would rather revisit these places than do something new.  After that I would spend as much time with my friends and family as possible in the time i had left.
