Slice of life

So lets tell a funny story. When I was a kid back at my elementary school I tripped on a kickball and embarrassed myself. So me and my friend(he is a guy) were playing tag and running al over the place. Suddenly I didnt see where I was going and i didnt know I was running into the kickball field until I tripped on the kickball. As I looked up I saw 5th grades in line who paused the game because I was in the middle of everything. Now I was in kindergarden at the time my age was 5 so I was really scared because compare to a small kindergartener these kids were huge. So you know what I did. I cried because I was scared. I remember hearing some of the kids yelling at me to move so i cried some more. I also heard kids sticking up for me because how could you yell at a kid crying who is scared. Suddenly I was picked up by a teacher or 5th grader(i don't remember) and they took me away from the game. Then a teacher came by with a bandage and asked if I was ok. Then my friend came to talk to me and see if I was doing ok. That's how I made a fool of myself. I kind of wish those 5th grader were nicer because I was young and I didnt know what to do. But yeah that my slice of life do you have any funny or good stories.

Life is beautiful review

   
   In class we watched life is beautiful a holocaust movie which happy and then sad. I made a lot of connections it's the poems we read and things we learned to the things we watched in the holocaust. The poem that I picked for my butterfly it was about this kid saying that new kids that go into the ghetto ask to many questions and they don't want to do these things. Now I connect a lot because the son in the movie was asking a lot of questions and wanting to go home. These kids that just got into these ghettos had the same questions. Now I was thinking about my butterfly and the project and throughout the movie the Mother started to lose hope until she heard her husband and son at the speakers and was so happy to know that they were ok and they were living. What was different in the movie was that I saw the father get his placement shape on his uniform however the mother didn't get any. I didn't understand at first because she wasn't a Jew she was pure Italian so that just puzzled me.
         Thourghout the movie we saw different points of views. We saw the father also looking through the bright side of things and not the negative and his son who didn't understand what was going on. We also the mother who just see like we do sometimes happy and sometimes gives up hope. But in the beginning it was so happy and just lovely it makes me see that people with normal lives got it taken away from them because they were Jews.
        There was a lot of things shown amazing in this movie, one of them was laughter. I say this because the father love making people laugh and joyful because that is how he was. He also saw the bright side of things. I also saw family. The father loved his family and didn't want his son to know that they could die and never go home. He also wanted his wife to know that him and his son was ok and just brighten her face to know everything was alright. This movie was amazing it is different from the cliche sad movie this does have a nice humor it really does.

Propaganda Pic reviews and my thoughts

You can see that in this picture it says" A baby born a Jew is Jewish". I don't remember the whole quote but yeah. Anyway so this is one of Hitler propaganda to show that born a Jew still turns out to be a Jew. I don't really get the saying but stil. Hitler was trying explain to the "pure" Germans that A Jew is a Jew and the should be hated and not treated with respect. Hitler was trying to show his side of it. He wanted people to see the evil he saw in people that weren't "pure" German and wanted people to see the good side of his terrible, evil and deadly plans. My thought is well Hitler sucked. Hosnely we live in a generation we're people actually stick up for human rights. I don't want be on the negative side of things but yeah. Back then people were scared of standing up because it was only a few people who followed because they where scared as well and usually you were killed if you tried. Hitler is literally brainwashing kids and grown ups. But now I realized that if this happens again we stand up. We really do we have to help stand up what's right and stop this. But that's just me what are your thoughts.

What I regret

I regret a lot of things in life but one of them was being so shy. As kid I had things going on in my life with me losing a house and divorced parents I eventually got over it but still. I was never happy because I wanted things to stay the same. I really regret it because I cause lots of problems I used to cry about everything like everything. Sometimes I just shut myself. It was really hard to explain my feelings to others. My friends used call me emo BUT I wasn't emo just depressed. I also was to shy to stand up for myself. I would always let people walk all over me. But actually I don't really want to go back in time and fix it because I developed over these times and I am more happy and open then I was before. Yes I might be a little bit shy but once I am comfortable I can get out there. Honestly I put the past behind me and let myself just focus on the present. What is something you regret?
