My thoughts about ww2

A lot of thoughts has been brought up in my head after all this that we’ve seen and listened to about the world war two. I’ve started to think more about how to treat people. To respect them for who they are because during that war a lot of people got killed for being different. I think that what happened was terrible. I hope nothing like that happens ever again. I can’t really understand how anybody can be as heartless as Hitler and the people who followed him. But one thing that makes me even more disappointed isn’t just that Hitler was such a terrible person, it is that people actually agreed with him! And it wasn’t just like 10 people it was hundreds and thousands! 

But I’m really happy that there were people who stood up for what they thought and that they actually tried to help the Jews and all the other people who suffered from everything during the world war two.

Freedom Writers - Letter

Hello Ms Gruwell

How are you? I'm fine by the way and I just want to say that I've heard about your work an how good you are with your kids. I'm really impressed that you made the sort of worst kids in the school to the best class. I wish all teachers were like you. I think your right about respecting the kids, I think that's
actually the only way to get them to respect and trust you, if you do the same to them.

I just wanted to tell you, do never stop with what you do! You are really good at your job whatever anyone else says. I think you can do something really great! Good luck and have a good life!

Nathalie

English work about the movie "Freedom writers"

Assignment 2:

I've chosen these questions:

3. Why is trust such an important component of a teacher-student relationship?

My answer: I think that if the teacher trusts the students the students will feel like their words and what they think is importent and that they matter. I also think that if the students trust the teacher, the teacher will feel more confident and sure about teaching.

5. How do the classmates learn to trust one another? How does reading and writing initiate this change?
My answer: The students do different sort of tests and "games" to learn to trust one another. I think that there were a lot of missunderstandings before Ms Gruwell  came. These kids had seen a lot of bad stuff in their lives like death and drugs. So I think that when they were reading they got to see how other peoples lives were. And when they were writing they got to tell their own stories and write what they think about. 

8. Why is Eva so affected by the ending of Anne Frank’s diary?

My answer: I think that Eva liked the book very much, maybe because Anne Franks life reminded her of her own. And because Anne Frank had such a hard life I think that Eva wanted Anne to have a happy ending. 

10. Do you think it’s more important to “protect your own” or do what’s right?
My answer: I think that sometimes it might be hard to do whats right when someone you care about gets problems because of it. But I still think that you should always do what you think is right. 

11. In what ways does Ms. Gruwell’s classroom become a family for the students? Do you have a “family” outside of your actual family?
My answer: The students feel safe in the classroom and I think that wherever you feel safe and you feel like people respect you, that can be your home and the people can be your family. You don't have to be related to be a family.  

16. What did you think about the movie? Motivate your answer!
My answer: It was a really good movie. It made you think about how different people are and how good your life actually is. It's a really good movie when you want to learn about how it can be in other schools and how special everyone is. Everyone has their own story that they want to tell, the only thing you need to do is listen to them.

"Something about the rain maybe? Because it rains pretty much!" 

"No! That's not good enough! We need something with feeling!" he said from his chair on the other side of the table. 

"What about... a feeling?" I asked trying to come up with solutions. 

"No..."

"Then you come up with something better! Every time I say something you say it's not good enough! And I'm sick of it!" I shouted as I stood up and left the table. 

Me and Jerry had been trying to write a song for a competition in school for soon 4 months and none of us could come up with any good ideas. I was tired of him always saying I'm not good enough. 

When I got home I just realized that I already had found my song!

"You make me feel like I'm not good enough."

My opinion about the book assignment

1. What is your opinion about having a reading assignment at home for three weeks? What do you think and why?

I'm sure it's a good way of learning English. But the thing about me and reading is that I want to read when I feel like to, I don't like to be forst to read. But one thing I don't like about it is that it's not very fair with what different books everyone have. My book isn't very thick but not very small either. But some have lik a book with maybe 100 pages and someone maybe has 400 pages, it's not that fair I think.

The sisterhood of the traveling pants

1. 
Carmen, Tibby, Bridget and Lena are four friends who have known each other since they were born. Because they were all born i the end of the summer, in September. And so their mums went to a class in aerobics for pregnant women together. And after that they met with their daughters and then their daughters got really close.
It was summer and everyone was going on different vacations. Tibby was really nervous. The girls were trying to calm her down but she didn't want them to. Then she saw a pair of old jeans on Carmens bed. She said that she wanted them and because Carmen bought them in a secondhand-shop, she didn't really care. But Bridget said that they'd never fit Tibby because Tibby and Carmen doesn't have the same sort of body building. But Tibby tried them on and they were perfect. So Lena tried them and she looked stunning. And then Bridget who also looked great and last but not least they wanted Carmen to try them. They all thought it was a miracle that they had fit almost all of them so they just wanted it confirmed that these were really magic pants. But Carmen was worried that they wouldn't fit her, because of her big butt. But finally she tried them on and as she did all of her friends got paralyzed of happiness. Carmen thought because they didn't say anything, she looked awful but then they told her to look herself in the mirror and she also saw it. The paint fit perfect!
So the girls came up with the idea that they were going to use the pants one at a time for about a week and then send it to the next girl through out the hole summer. They also came up with some special rules wich you had to follow while wearing the pants.    

So the girls went separate ways, Lena went to Greece to visit her grandparents along with her little sister Effie. Her grandmother wanted to celebrate their arrival with a small party with some neighbors and friends and at the same time she wanted to intrigues Lena to a guy in her age called Kostos, but Lena doesn't like romance. 
Bridget has left to a warm place, I don't really remember were, but she meets som girls and they spend the night on the beach. She also sees a guy in a football team and she falls for him directly. 
Carmen was gonna spend this summer at her dads house. She only meet her dads in christmas som she was really looking forward to it. But when her dad was gonna show her his house there is a women and an eighteen year old boy and a girl in Carmens age in the house. Carmens dad was going to mary the women and he hadn't told Carmen anything. 
Tibby is the only one who is home for the summer and she is working in a shop. We haven't followed Tibby that much yet, but  I think she's working in a shop. Because a 10 year old girl fell into a perymid av roll'ons that Tibby had built. 
The girls are all sending letters to each other and Lena  has the pants. 

2. 
I think they are going to continue writing letters to each other. And also send the "magical" pants to one another.

Random writing number 2

An envelope was laying on my bed. One single white envelope. It was adressed to me but I never got letters. When I think about it I don't think I've ever got one in my entire life. I sat on my bed. I looked down on the envelope. It was brown and had signs of drops on it. Was it raindrops? It hadn't rained here in days. Was it teardrops?
I felt a chill wind and looked up on my window. Suddenly the wind went harder and I watched my letter fly out threw my opened window. I tried to catch it but it was to late. It was gone.
I sat on my bed and thought abaout the envelope. What did it say. Then I saw something outside my window. First I thought it was a bird then I realised it was a letter, my letter! I looked out and somehow I saw that it was, opening itself! I didn't understand anything but couldn't take my eyes from it. Suddenly the letter inside through itself at my window. There was the text: "Midnight, on the bridge. Come alone."

Random writing number 1

It was last summer. The rain was falling down like a waterfall on the streets of London. I were my old red jacket wich was good against rain but very cold. I was heading to the busstation. The day was finally here. Or I don't know if I'm supposed to say finally. Have I looked forward to this? Do I really want to move away from my home. I was looking down at the ground as I was passing by the big houses and stores in the city. If I only could stay one more week, just one more. So I could say goodbye to everyone.
I couldn't do anything else but stop when I was passing by her house. Should I go inside or not.
"What if she's not home" I thought as I opened the big brown door and went inside. The smell of carrot and dust fill my nose and I shook of the rain from my black hair. I went up the stairs and looked for door number 11. I knocked at the door and a girl in a blue dress opened.
"I daren't stay long. I just had to see you" I said with shaking lips and one tear slowly dropping down from  my eye.
