Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince
J. K Rowling
Rate: 9
If this book would have gone one more chapter long, I think that Harry would try to understand why Snape was called the Half-Blood Prince and why he still used the Potions book with that nickname in it because at the end of the book, there was a war between Hogwarts and Voldemorts Death Eaters and Snape fled the scene of killing dumbledore

There are many ways the Holocaust kids and Elie are diffrent and alike. First way is that they are alike is Elie and the kids were seperated from any contacts of there parents. Second way there alike is the kids as Anne Frank and Elie were sent to concentration camps like Austchwits. Third reason they are alike is that they all had a stroy to tell about there lifes of the holocaust. Final reason is everyone has suffered and been killed and lost a family member. But some holocaust kids survive like Elie and some died(Elie’s Father). Now for the differences. First difference between them is that they ended up dying through over working, lack of food, and gas chambers, while Elie ends up surviving the whole way. Second difference is that Elie is with his father but unlike the other kids they were instantly separated from there Family and parents that they never saw them ever again. While Elie is with his dad until unfortunately dies.Final difference is that most of the holocaust kids were killed of arriving at camps of over work, and no food. Unlike Elie he was given a chance to survive with his dad and he took it and ended up surviving to the very end. But some kids weren’t like that they weren given a chance to survive like Elie did. In conclusion Elie and the Holocaust kids during the holocaust are similar or diffrent in many ways or reasons.

Night-10 Questions..
December 21, 2010
1. The Germans only hanged a few people in public even though they kill thousands each day, so they can fright fear into there eyes.
2. Elie’s relationship with his dad change because at first he was worried about his dad a whole lot but every suffering they went through he didn’t care anymore like he wanted to let his father die cause he’s holding him down.
3. Elie’s father gives him a sppon and a kinfe because he thinks that it may b worth something in the future.
5. “Stampede” the germans made the jews run insanely nonstop until some jews collasped and would walk on one another.
6. Elie tries to help his dad from dieing but his dad tells him to leave him but he refuses until people tells him thaat hes going to die anyway, that he should be taking care of himself.
7.Elie’s dad died, Elie was very upset.“i did not weep, and it pained me that i could not weep”. Since his father died nothing matter to him anymore.
8. Elie says “The look in his eyes, as they stared into mine, has never left me” i think what it means is that looking into his eyes maybe it was his last of seeing him he would never forget.
9. Nothing really much to say its really shocking because its all facts and its sad cause its all true.
10. If i were to give this book a new title it would be “My Family And Now Me” because it started off being with his family until they got seperated it was just him and his dad until his dad passed away.
Night-Poem
December 20, 2010
Every body get out!
What happened?
What’s the matter?
Where are we being taken?
The Ghetto.
I became very ill with food poisoning.
Nothing but bread.
I was transferred to the hospital,
And spent two weeks between life and death.
After gathering all my strength.
One day i had enough strength to stand up.
I had not seen myself since.
From the depths of the mirror,
The look in his eyes,
As they stared into mine,
Has never left me.
Without a trace…..

LAP2-Thank You Ma’am And Mother And Son

Thank you ma’am and Mother and Son
Well the two stories is about a boy’s in “Thank You Ma’am and Mother and Son”.The similarities are that the two author’s is speaking about the boy in Mother and Son and Thank you ma’am could have a good time period since they are still younger. Mrs. Jones and the Mother are telling the boys that doing the right thing would help them towards acheving life better but not only that it also helps acheive other goals as well.
Well first if not have taken him home her or his life would be in alot of bad sitatutions. He would probably still snatching people bags, or beg for a little food to eat.
if Roger havent met Ms.Jones he would have been in a worst predicment. Reflecting to that Mrs.Jones would probably be happy of the outcome of helping Roger.
LAP2-The Necklace-Activity1
October 2, 2010
Extending the story–After she found out about the necklace being fake, I think that at first she must have blacked out and suddenly awaken and ask for the necklace back but Mme. Forestier wouldn’t give it back to her and they started to have a fit over the necklace.”I did ten years of labor and bought you another diamond necklace to find out it was a fake” Mathlide said. But she has also change over those years but she still wanted the diamond. She would stare at the diamond shiny in the bright light. But Mathlide gave a irrated sigh and walked off in the sunny light. As she walked off she would say how she is beautiful, that they were looking at how beautiful she was not because of the necklace.
