Why are there so many books, movies, documentaries, etc. about the Holocaust? Why do we keep retelling this story?

I think that this story is told over and over again because this kind of event should never happen again. To prevent this kind of problem they are told over and over again. Holocause happened for a long time and during that period, usually it was the innocent people who got killed. Also from the Holocaust some survivors were set free, who wrote, books and told their kids. This still is a big issue, and we should never forget about this horrible time, just because it might happen again...

Act I: “But always remember this, Anneke. There are no walls, there are no bolts, no locks that anyone can put on your mind.” Explain what you think this statement means. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
I think people can understand the meaning in different ways, but i think that this phrase means that they may keep you from what you are going to do, but they can never stop you from thinking.
Act I, Scenes1-3: What do you think would be the hardest part of life in the Secret Annex: the fear of discovery, the need to keep silent for hours at a time, the sharing of cramped quarters with strangers, or some other aspect? Explain.
I think that the hardest time of the secret annex would be eating the amount that really wouldn't fill your stomach. Also being with total stranger and sharing a room with he or she who has a bad temper and a selfish person , i think that would stress me alot.
Act I, Scenes 1-3: Do Anne and Peter seem to have typical teenage attitudes toward their families? Go back to the text for examples to support your response.
I think they show typical teenage attitudes toward their families. Peter gets embarrassed by how his mother talks to him. Anne only shows love toward her father because she doesn't like her as much as she loves her father. Every time Mrs. Frank talks, she compares with ?Margot and Anne.
Act I, Scenes 4, 5: Describe how the Hanukkah celebration in Scene 5 is interrupted. What does Peter do to make matters worse? According to Dussel, how will this incident lead to their discovery by the police?
During the Hanukkah a burglar went it to the building of where the Secret Annex is at. They kept quiet until Peter's cat Mouschi came out of Peter's room. So when Peter tried to stop his cat, he made a loud noise, because of that the burglar got out of the building. According to Dussel the burglar might get caught, so when he gets caught the burglar might tell the Police about some jews hiding in the hiding place.
Act I, Scene 4, 5: Anne is a dynamic character; that is, she changes in the course of the play. What does Anne’s gift giving reveal about her? How do her gifts to her mother and peter show that she has changed?
Anne turned mature then before. Her gifts to her mom was a good idea, it showed Mrs. Frank that Anne cared for her, as well as to Peter.

4.Foreshadowing: foreshadowing is the use of clues or hints to suggest events that will occur later in the plot. Why does Mr. Frank break down when he

the glove that mr. frank holding is the glove that belongs to mrs. frank. because he was the only one from the family who survived from the camp. the glove brought him memories.

3. Theme

I think that the theme of Anne Frank's book is a girl's dream. Anne wanted freedom, she wanted to go out side and play with her friends. She wanted to be out side and have fun.

2 What is prujudice? where in the world have you seen prejudice? what are the effect of prejudice?

Prejudice means having a feeling or an opinion that are against something. I have seen prejudice during the Holocaust against the Jews. Which Prejudice was displayed towards Jews during the Holocaust. There can be different effects but during WW2 Hitler showed violence to the Jews.

1. What do you know already about the holocaust?

I know that six million of European Jews during world war 1.

When My Name Was Keoko

This book is about a girl named Sun-hee and her brother, Tae-yul. The book takes the reader in to 1940s. It was in Korea during the occupation of Japanese. They went through many events in school and also had family problems. Tae-yul volunteers for Japanese military for his family and his country, while Sun-hee and his family wait for him with hope. Later Korea is released from Japan because the Japanese Emperor surrenders. This book is from Korean's perspective so there aren't any thoughts from Japanese point of view.

Secret

When I was in 2nd grade, our school kids' moms were having a meeting at a place called "Seoul Club." They were having a meeting after school, so most of them brought their kids to the meeting. Seoul Club was a place you can enjoy your time from kids to adults. At the Seoul Club there was a place where practically no one came in, it was like a secret place for us. At that place there were fences so that people won't fall below. When we looked down, there was a blue truck=D (hehe) and around us, there was ALOT of rocks(trust me even you people would have had hard time trying to refuse that temptation:D even though it's a BAD thing to do). So we picked up the rocks and started dropping the rocks on the truck and suddenly we heard 'WHAMMMM!!' ahha!! my friend threw a brick (not a rock a HUGE, RED, BRICK>ㅁ<) and with that sound the glass broke... and I still remember my friends face:)))). And that became a secret between me and the people who were there. Well.. now I don't know where they are, but even though it's a secret now it's just a fun memory that I will have forever: )))

Courage

One of the courageous things that I did was when I was in 5th grade. In P.E. class we learned swimming. One day a friend of mine dropped his goggle in to the deepest part of the swimming pool. So we told the teacher, which she couldn't do anything. I don't remember the exact reason why, but I think it was because she didn't have her swimming suit. Also the stick that you clean the pool was too short. When my friend tried to go get it, because of the pressure on his ear, he would come right back up. So I tried in for a moment I thought I also felt the pressure but then later on I couldn't feel it any more. So I went down to get his goggle, even though I was out of air I felt I had done something good. I feel that that was one of my courageous moments. :)
