Holocaust


Holocaust:

What I think about the people just stood by and watched people het killed is that they did not know what to do about it and they were scared that if they say something, they'll get killed. I think some people stood up to the Nazis's because they felt bad for them and they didn't want that to continue. It I was there, I will try to fight for the things that I need, not things that I want, and if I don't start something, no one will

The Genre/Character Traits:

The Genre of this book is realistic fiction. I say that because Esperanza live in a house, and she has family and friends. The character, Esperanza is a brave young girl. I say that because, when her mom was escaping from Mexico to go to California. She stood brave and she just went with the flow.

Call Of Duty scope response



Call of Duty 

The article that I read is called "Call of Duty". Its about a guy name Jose and a dog name Zenit.
Zenit and Jose is in war. The reason why Zenit is in war because they need a dog to sniff for bombs. One day they went out to see where is the bombs, but Jose has step on a bomb. He lose his two legs. He almost died, he had lost a lot of blood and he had to get out of the war. Jose was only thinking about Zenit when he was at home. Jose wonder how Zenit was doing. Jose wants his dog. So he try to get his dog and he did. What I think about this article is good but at the same time bad. I say that because Jose had lost his two legs and kid say that is he is a transformer, but Jose just goes with the flow and said "that what happen if you don't eat your vegetables". People say that a guy best friend is a dog, and I think that is true. Zenit is Jose best friend.

Summary and pov


Summary

The book that I'm reading is called "Middle School My Brother Is A Big Fat Liar." In the book  there is an kid name Rafe Khatchadorian. He is going to 6th grade and he does not like it. He thinks that "its a prison for Pilgrims back then, but not too much has changed". Rafe has a sister Georgia. They fight sometime for little things. Rafe is bore with 6th grade at first, but as the weeks goes by he is getting to know people. Right now is the book he has a friend name Leonardo, they do everything together. To me I think that they are more like best friends. At the end of the book Rafe likes 6th grade. He had a lot of friend and he didn't get in trouble as much as he use too. What I think about this book is good because you never know what on the other side. What I mean by that is to never give up and finish what you started.

The point of view:

The point of view is the first person. I say that because it says a lot of me, my, and I.
For example its said "I wonder how you did".  There is an I is that sentence . "I bet you can't wait to open it up and see"!  So the point of view in this story is the first person

The Saturday Boy summary

Derek has been having hard time in school because his father is never there for Derek.  His father has been flying helicopters in Afghanistan,  Deriks dad has been sending him letters for he can know how his dad os doing,  Derik loves comic books about superhoero and zombies. sometimes he use to share it with Bigie.  Bigie is Deriks big best friend Derik just turned 11 years old and he thinks his life is going bad for him he learned that his dad's helicopter has shot down and hid dad didn't survive. everything changed for Derik what i think about this book is that it is good because it gives a reader a nice look into the mind of a bully making what he does understandable but without forgetting it derrick
In the story “The Saturday boy” the little boy is talking.
The reason I say that is because it says a lot of I, me and my.
For example the little bot said said “my dad is in a war and I don’t have time to spend time with him”.
What I think about the kid is that he is an brave kid because he does not have an dad to be there for him. He alway done everything by himself.
