Thoughts on Holocaust

The Holocaust was cruel and uncalled for. I think Hitler was crazy and didn’t know what he was talking about. Considering his mom was a Jew and him thinking blond hair and blue eyes are the superior race when he didn’t even have blond hair or blue eyes. The only thing that Hitler wanted was to try to take over the world and kill off the Jews. With the concentration camps and killing centers Hitler was doing a good job killing the Jews off and no one could do anything about it.

EOL Exam

The EOL exam wasn’t as hard as i thought it would be. I also took my time to read and think about what they were asking me. The passages that we had to read were not to complicated they were easy to understand and were over some interesting topics. The essays that we had to write were a little harder because we had to write two pages but the essay topics were easy to write about. With taking this test no one should be afraid of taking this test because it not at all what you think its going to be.

Cut book review

Allowing herself to believe that she is the cause for her brother's sickness, she is under so much stress so she decides to take the pain away, by causing more pain, and a new habit is born. Just one cut to take her mind off everything else, at least that's what she though. Callie began to cut her wrists everyday, several times a day, until the school nurse noticed what was going on and knew she had to inform Callie's parents. With this, her parents knew she needed help so they sent her to a pschyiatric hospital, where she must go to therapy and be around other girls who are trying to overcome the same kind of issues. First, she refuses to talk to anyone, but soon opens up when she has flash backs of the past. If you are anything like me, Cut with send chills down your spine, but is also heart warming when she gets her life together.

Crackback book review

John Coy, author of Crackback, creates a character that may not by good at too many things, but is great at football.

Over the summer it seems as if all the other players have really bulked and are much bigger than him, he is getting a little insecure about his place on the team. With his dad, coaches, and even his best friend putting so much stress on him, he just doesn't know what to do. Miles does not want to disappoint his dad, but it seems as if every little mistake, his dad won't leave him alone, and Zach, his best friend, is offering him steroids. Zach claims that everyone is doing them and they will help Miles get bigger faster, but Miles is uneasy about the situation. Crackback is a great football book, and I'm sure that this kind of thing is going on all the time.
