Reflection Qustions On Night

152: why do you think that he wrote this book?

He wrote this so that we can learn from are mistakes and never let something like this every happen again and that his story could be told because there's not many people that live throw this and to show what kind of terrible things that they were doing to them.

153: why do you think he chose night as its title?

It was a dark time to live in and a lot of bad things were happening and when its dark you don't know what to do or where to go it was the same for them they did not know what to do or where to go next not because it was dark but because they were scared and worried for there life's so that's why they called it night.

154: how does Elie change as a result of experiences in the concentration camps?

He lost his faith in god and lost all of his family and he has nightmares of kids getting shot he lost all of weight so he lost all lot of things and nothing that he got was good everything that he got was bad.

155: how does Elie finally come to terms with his odeal?

He got his freedom he got to be free again and well he never really talked about what had happen to him until he wrote the book but now he talks about what had happen to him but not that much because it still hurts him.

156. Give examples of issues in night that still arise today and what do you think should be done about genocide?

Their still killing people all around the world. For different reason but most of them are the same reasons that they were killing the Jews.Its mostly because of their races and people today are still killing people because of there race.I thought people would have learn that killing each other just for those reasons is a dumb reason to kill each other.but one way we can stop it is by letting people know that this is happening and show them ways they can help to stop the killing in other countries.


There's one thing that is happening in Nepal. There is genocide because people are getting killed for protesting. there was some people protesting for what was happening in Tibet and they got killed for it. They were a peaceful group to they were not hurting people or nothing. so that's genocide because of power in the government not wanting protests see that's one of the things that did not happen when the German's were doing genocide but its still as bad.

Other type of genocide that is happening is in Cuba. In there their killing there people for trying to leave. They will kill you right away and throw you into the ocean if you are trying to leave there home land Cuba. They have already killed about 35,000 to 141,00 Cubans that were trying to leave. That is other type of genocide that is happening in the world.

Other genocide that happens in the world is in Colombia. There if you try to take there oil they will kill you. They don't believe that there people showed be taking there oil. So i guess that's like when the people would take the officers food they would get killed. So it was like that in Germany to but they would kill you for taking different things.

One of the worst places that they have genocide in is North Korea. In there they already have camps all throw there country. They never let their people leave if your born in North Korea then you die in North Korea and you can never leave from there and there killing a lot of people just because if you every talked bad about him or talked bad about his dead father then they will kill you. They have lots of camps throw out the whole country. In night the would send you to the camps for different reasons but its the same because there both getting throw into the camps.

They got something new that day and they have not had anything new in a long time and they were all things that they wanted and things that they needed or would want to use to help them with something.

4(a):With a partner discuss Mr.Frank's statement there are... no locks that anyone can put on your mind. how does Anne prove that this is true?

It makes them have to go into hiding because if they find them they will be killed and they did not want to be killed.

6(a): What effects do the Nazis intend the wearing of the stars to have on the Jews?

They had to wear them because the Nazis order them to wear it and so they could know easier who was a Jew and who was not.

6(b): What background information about the war and the Nazis treatment of the Jews helps you link this cause with its intended effects?

The way that they killed 3 million Jews that helps me know what they intended with making them wear those stars.

7. Anne says that she does not love her mom because she don't listen to Anne.

Mr.Kraler asks if they could take in Mr.Dussel and they say yes.

Mr. van Daan does not like that there taking in other person so they start talk bad about each other Mr.Dussel and Mr.Van Daan.

8.After Mr.kraler asks if Jan Dussel can join the Franks and the Van Daans in hiding what does the dialogue among the characters reveal about their personalities?

It shows that Mr. Van Daan is selfish that he owning cares about taking care about himself and that's all that matters to him. It shows that Mr.Frank does not care how many people live there he wants to help everyone that he can help.

At first she would like to fight with everybody and she would always be mad now she is nice and trys to listen to people more then at first.

4(a): Maybe because she done somethings wrong to but she knows that she is a good person at heart or maybe she just thinks that because a lot of people told her that or she has people that have show that to her before.

4(b): What does Mr.Frank mean when he says: she put me to shame?

He means that he feels like he should be a shamed because he became bitter and she some how still felt all people were good.

5(a): Mr.Van Daan's decision to steal food?

That almost got them kicked out because of him always wanting to eat.

5(b): Mrs.Frank's change of heart about wanting the Van Daans to leave?

She knew that Anne really liked peter so for her Daughter she did not kick them out because if it was not for peter they would have been going to live some where else.

6:What are some possible causes of Mrs.Van Daan's attitude toward Anne and Peter's relationship

She did not like to see them together because she always thought that they would be doing something when they were in Peter's room and she would always talk bad about Anne because she did not like her family

7.Living in close quarters has multiple effects on the residents of the "secret annex".list three effects that result from this single cause

They did not have that much food. so they would get skinnier and skinnier every month. they could not get sun light. so there skin became more and more white. they spent a lot of time together in the same house. They started to get annoyed of each other and they started to hate each other little by little.

8(a): Meip-Brings flowers and cake to the attic rooms-To make everybody happy and to give them something good to eat.

Mr.Van Daan-He eats everybody food without them knowing- He wanted to be selfish and eat everything he could so he could live.

Peter Van Daan-He kisses Anne on the cheek-So that he could show that he liked her and so that he could make her feel better about everything that is happening.

9: He be a jeck and just not like Jews or he might want to get away from a problem that they people in hiding know or he might want to get money from them but they don't want to pay so he might turn them in or he might just do it because he is sick from the head.

Street Problems

There is a lot of things that are wrong with the streets. But there is one thing that we need to work on before we can fix everything else that’s wrong with streets. We need to work on keeping the kids out of gangs so that they wont ended up banging like most kids now. Kids now start gang banging at a really young age and once they start that’s all they know how to do. So I say we stop the problem with that kind of things kids should not get into that stuff it makes your life a lot harder and your always worried if its going to be your last day alive when you get into it.

I think that one way that we can stop kids from flipping into a gang. Is that we should have more sports in there life so they have something else to do. If they tried or always practicing they wont think about banging. They think its stupid and go play there sport. They will not think about being a gang banging in the first place they being have to much fun with playing there sport.

The other way I think we can stop it. Is that when the kids are little or at least when there in 4th or 5th grade. A former gang member should come in and talk to them about gang banging and why they should not get into one. They should tell them all the bad things that come along with them flipping into a gang. That will make the kids think that gang banging is a stupid thing to get into and that there’s no point in it.

The last way that I think that we can stop kids. Is they should talk to every kids parents and tell them what type of thing they should do so that there kid will not gang bang. If a parent is in there kids life the parents will know what there kids are doing. The kids wont think of gang banging because they will have a family that’s one of the reason people start gang banging so they can feel like if they have a family. Those are the way that we can get the young kids of these days not to gang bang.

Those are the three ways that we can stop the kids. We should have more sports for the kids to play in there neighborhood. They should get a former gang member to talk to the kids. They should get the parents of there kids to be more in there children’s life. That would save a lot of kids don’t you want to help out the streets and kids that are coming
into this world?

Fable

One day a fox and a coyote were playing hide and go seek in the woods. They had always played this game but much deeper in the forest. They were playing by a road today because the fox said it was more fun there. But the coyote told the fox that dont cars pass by there all the time. The fox just said that it was ok that nothing would happen.When they started to play the fox was counting and the coyote went to go hide. The coyote was hideing on the other side of the road. The fox was running around but the fox did not see that a car was comeing and was running to the other side by the time he saw the car the car had hit the fox.

Thats why you should always look both ways when you cross the street

the outcasts of poker flat's

Well i think that it was uncle billy's fault because if he would not have taking the horses they would have got on the horses and left to where they wanted to go to. they would have not stayed there with the snow they just stayed there because they had no way of getting to where they wanted to go to. So i think that it was uncle billy's fault because if he would not have took the horses they would have never have to stay there. The other thing he was the one that left the town with liquor and if they would have never got drunk with his liquor they would have never stay there and get drunk they would have never stayed there they would have kept going. Thats why i think that it was really mostly uncle billys fault. i think that he was planing to do that all the time that he was just waiting for the right time to take the horses and run alway with them. I think that hes not a good man because he ran away like a coward.
