Life is beautiful

In this movie I noticed a lot that the dad made sure his kid didn't know the truth about what actually was happeneing. It really helped me imagine what is was like for a loving Jewish family during that time in the holocuast and what they had to go through to see each other. It also helped me think about how much I would miss my mom and sisters. Also the hard work and effort I would have to put in to stay alive at the time. Something I noticed that was different between reading about the holocoaust and watching the movie was that in the readings it never said anything about parents convincing the children that nothing bad was happeneing.

In the movie there was a parade at the end, however in the stories about it I dont remember anything happening about parades at the end of the war. Also I don't like the fact that in the movie the child never found out about his dead dad. In the movie the Nazis where shaving the Jews heads and then using their hair for clothes and coats. But when I was reading about it, it only mention them taking the Jews clothes and reusing them.

Life is shown as beautiful in the movie when the dad tricks his son and making him think everything is alright. There was also beauty when the son spoke out to his mom over the loud speaker. Finally life is shown as beautiful when the mom and son met up and hugged for the first time since the war began.

Thing Link

I think that this stands out to me because of how it shows the view point of different events from the Germans and the Jews.

Diary of a wimpy kid.

My book is about a kid named Gregory Heffely and he goes through some pretty bad times over the winter. For example he's a kid who struggles in school with bullies because he isn't too popular and his one friend does nothing he want to do ever. Like one time he was having his friend spend the night at his house when his friend got scared and left. Also one time he had a snow day off from school but when he was at home his family lost power and almost ran out of food then just to find out his younger brother turned of the power every where in the house but his room so when they went up to his room, his little brother had taken all the food the heaters and was using all of the energy in the house. So all in all over the winter he just had a horrible time. He also got in trouble by the cops for acdentially painting on the school because he was trying to hang some color full signs but then it rained so the color of the paint dripped through the signs because of the rain and left huge marks of paint on the dull walls. So as an effect of that he was avoiding the cops everywhere he went and told no one about it. Also his mom made him turn in an envelope to a secret santa thing at his church. But to get to the church he passed the police station so he crawled on the ground in the snow to get to the church.

Over spring break.

Over spring break I hung out with my one friend Richie a lot. He spent the night at me house and I spent the night at his house a lot. Also my other friend Jorge spent the night at my house one time. Also me and Richie went to Enchanted Castle because we were going to go to SkyZone (a trampoline park) instead but it was closed on the day we went. Also I did just hang out with a lot of my friends in general. Plus I has my first soccer game of the new season I went on to get 3 assists but no goals because every thru ball my team played me was a just and inch out of my reach. The game ended up being 5-5 at full time because we were down about 2-0 in the first half then after half time we made a comeback and had it at 5-3 us in the lead but then we conceded a dumb goal. After that they got a penalty kick because on a corner kick my teammate hand balled it by accident. Of course they scored the penalty kick now it was 4-5 us in the lead but right after that play they had another corner kick luckily we cleared it but when my teammate was boding the other teams player shoulder to shoulder he flopped and got a call out of it it was such a flop that even the others teams coach acknowledged it. They scored it and just like that the final whistle was heard the game was over tied 5-5.
