Even though the main character, Elie, has been harassed, beaten, whipped, and been separated from his family he still managed to get through the holocaust.
Well I may not of asked to read this book, but it’s actually a pretty good book. The book is about the struggles of a young Jewish boy during the holocaust. Even though the main character, Elie, has been harassed, beaten, whipped, and been separated from his family he still managed to get through the holocaust. Add Comment Dressin’ to the Nines It’s no argument many people have different versions of dressing to the nines. My version is far more important however. There’s no Nike’s, No shorts, or Polo shirts involved. Mine consists of:
As John Michael Montgomery said in one of his past songs, "Life's a dance you learn as you go..." That really stuck out to me, and I realized he couldn't be more right. Through the tough things in life you learn be experiencing and that you " learn as you go". "...Sometimes you lead..." Yet another piece from Montgomerys song. In some situations you are a leader showing a few people on how to live their own lives. This verse sticks out to me because I really don't like being a follower. I don't like not knowing what to do in my life's decisions and such. Leading in my opinion is the only way to go. "...Sometimes you follow..." Although it may not be my style, I still do not know everything about life. Actually far from it. I'm a follower in my faith. A follower in "my ideas". And a major follower in the things is don't know myself. Although I don't like it I am still a huge follower in a lot of subjects and beliefs. In the song, it's about dancing being a follower while you learn a new dance of life. "...Don't worry about what you don't know, life's a dance you learn as you go..." That verse no matter if you're a leader or a follower there are subjects that you aren't going to know the answer to. Even if you step on your partners toes, you'll find a way to learn from it and make up with your partner. Wheather it's buying them an ice pack and punch cup. Or buying them a real "make up" present. No matter what , you're gonna be a leader in some arguments and a follower in an other. No matter what you don't know, life's a dance you learn as you go. Continued… After what seemed like eternity the head scout got off of Tristan and Kyle and with a huff said “The only reason I’m not arresting you right now is that we need more hunters now than ever.” and turned to walk away. Then just stared at my horrid facial expression and mumbled “Get your dog on a short leash” with a snarl. In total complete shock I just watched in horror as he walked away. As the final prep for the hunt was winding down I was joined by Tristan and Kyle at the gate. Both of them were as white as ghosts and shaking like chihuahuas, they didn’t say a word just stared blankly at the gate until finally the last hunter was prepped for hunting. Then the thirty second warning bell rang continually, once there aren’t any pedestrians in sight we open the gate. Huddled together like a junior high football team. We point the muzzle of our guns all in different direction scanning for the slightest movement of the jungle. When all of a sudden a low set of light flickered under a large leaf. I raised my gun and aimed for the eye of this creature. Looking through the scope I could see it and identified it as a large swamp rat and set my finger on the trigger. Squeezing on the trigger ‘til, BOOM! The gun went off,the entire group jumped and started cursing at me until I walked over and picked up , well attempted to pick up the large muskrat, which weighs about as much as a horse. After ten minutes of dragging the “horse” behind me, the group finally turned and went back to camp. To be continued... The Confederate Flag. Some may say that the “rebel flag is racist, and they’d be wrong. It symbolizes the South during the civil war. The thirteen stars on such a flag stands for the states that fought for the South such as: South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky. The large blue “x” on the cross is there for Saint Andrew, he was crucified on an ‘x’ because he felt that he was not worthy enough to be crucified on a cross like the Lord Jesus. Fact is is that the Confederates actually released their slaves five years before the Union ever even thought of such a doing. As portrayed, Rebel flag meaning can be clearly demarcated into two segments. One where the flag is looked upon as a symbol of outright racism and slavery and this is the reason why there is a group of people who consider themselves as the anti-supporters of the Rebel flag. They criticize those who respect this flag or those who use something which has the image of the Rebel flag on it. The other Rebel flag meaning is attached to pride and glory. The Confederate flag represents the glorious fight of the states for winning their freedom. It symbolized a fight of the States for their rights so that they can pass laws on their own without any kind of intervention from the central government. The flag symbolizes the esteem and the proud history of the south (Confederate States of America were the states, which seceded from United States and were constituted of the southern states). Continued… The man survived the attack of the vicious animal, unfortunately he lost an arm from the animals razor blade teeth. He's actually very lucky the same thing happened to another hunter; He was scrapped by the animal and bled out in two minutes before we could get him to camp. I awoke violently the morning after the gory hunt.The dream I had the misfortune of greeting was about my dog, my friends, and myself being ripped to shreds by a ¨sparrow¨ while we were all roped to a large pole like stake. Apparently we had broken one of the mayor's main rules, the one of which we broke is the biggest rule there is. Give sixty percent of what you kill to your superiors a.k.a "the government.” The government comprised of the mayor, the head scout, and the federal Alaskan judge. Together the trio is impossible to stand alone, but together that’s another story. I got out of bed, fed my dog Jack. Did my chores like I do everyday. This bizarre morning however I noticed that Jack was exceptionally skittish and scraped at his legs. I thought nothing of it at first. I just thought he picked a fight with wrong cat around the corner. I pulled my boots on and rushed out the door for my daily job. I was running estamptionally late this morning. When I got to the gates a scout was hovering over both Tristans trembling body and Kyles. Both were on their backs more scared the than ever before. When I was only a couple feet away from the scout I can’t recall ever seeing him before,then I noticed the huge golden star badge on his left shoulder. I demanded him of what his business doing down here by the gate. He said “He caught this coward stealing from the market (tristan) and this other piece a trash here swung at me when I questioned the other. Both are major rules that are not to be broken.” To Be Continued... This Holiday was one of the best so far. I went from destroying wrapping paper, to back roading in my cousins truck on my Grandpa's crop farm. But Christmas morning, I awoke violently, full of joy, glance to my clock it's 3:00 AM!!! So there I was wide awake, at three am, and we get up at 8:30 for Christmas. So naturally I thought lets just say up for five hours and just jump out of bed when mom says it's time to open and destroy. Luckily I had thought ahead because it's not the first year this has happened so I had about half a liter of Dr. Pepper, two packages of beef jerky, and about a dozen movies to watch. So about into the ending of my first movie I started feeling just the tiniest bit of tiredness so I jugged the rest of the Dr. Pepper and was on again. About the beginning of the third movie it was only 5:00 now. I kept chanting to myself three more hours, three more hours. And by the end of the third movie I was out, cold, like I had been knocked out by a baseball bat. Anyway I awoke to my mom barging into my room screaming ITŚ CHRISTMAS TIME BOYYYYIE!!! I reached up, turned on my light, put my glasses on, stretched and crawled out of my bed. Half walked half crawled all the way to the living room, went to my chair turned it to face the couch so my mom could get a solid picture of me open presents. One by one my mom would give each of us a present and all at the same time tear into it like a lion into a zebra. After we open all the presents under the tree we always wait for mom to get done cooking the traditional fried deer steaks. Skillfully killed by yours truly, Muah. Anyway once she gets them all fried we pig out all day on those steaks until we can barely lift a finger and watch the movies we just got for presents. After a while we pack a bag for Grandma's to do the whole thing all over again. Only at Grandma's there's way more food of variety there then there will ever be at home. We all wait for the cooks to get done cooking all the food. My whole family gather around the kitchen, hold each others hands and say grace. After that it's every man for himself between grabbing plates and finding a place to sit to eat you just sort of blackout and it's a wild brawl for chicken and fried hog butt. |
