I did quite a few things over spring break. First day of spring break (Saturday) my friend Zack and I got my dad to watch anime! It's a boxing anime called Hajime No Ippo and so far he's on episode 27, so now my whole family watches anime (hehehe I have corrupted them all) it started with me then I got my mom to watch Black Butler then my sister and finally my dad. I also got back into practicing martial arts (tae kwon do, jujutsu, kumdo) I finally have medicine for my migranes so I can train again! I also got my sister to do some sword practice with me and no we did not do fencing, we just practiced different blocks and slashes.
I have written a lot over spring break my curse of writer's block is finally gone! I was able to write 10 pages (3 in my WU book, 2 in my prompt, 1 for contest, 6 in different backstories.) I have also drawn quite a few concept pictures for my characters. Apparently Yellow Jasmine is poisonous and devil's club doesn't affect young people but does to older people a lot, also never confuse catnip with mint because while quite fragrant, it makes very bitter tea and you will be surrounded by cats.

1. In a paragraph or two compare (similarities) and contrast (differences) Night and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. In Night Elie the main character lives and the book is written by him (his point of view, thoughts, etc.) making the story true/nonfiction. Boy in Striped Pajamas Bruno the main character does not live and BiSP is fiction. This is one of the differences another would be that Elie is a jew, where Bruno is not in fact Bruno's father is a German soilder. Some similarities are that both main characters in night and BiSP are relativly young Elie 15 and Bruno 8. Both of them had been in a camp of some sort and both of them had something cruel happen to them in Elie's case his dad died and in Bruno's case he himself died. 2. Choose 1 character from Night or one character from Boy in the Striped Pajamas to analyze. Make note (explain) of their physical appearance, character traits, feelings, demeanor, thoughts, etc. Bruno Is eight and he is German. He had short dark brown hair and wore tan shorts and a sweater vest (I think that's what it was) sometimes he got more dressed up like for a party. He has a sister who's name is Gretel, a mother who's name is Elsa and a father who's name is Ralf his father is a soilder. I think that Bruno was sweet and still very innocent because he didn't like it when someone was beat up and he tried to help Schmuel even when he was nervous going into the camp and it also seems like he believed the camp was some sort of game. 3. How have your thoughts or understandings of the Holocaust changed since completing this unit (background research, Night, Boy in the Striped Pajamas? My thoughts haven't really changed I really like history so I have read Night and BiSP but, I haven't seen the movie so that was new. 4. Which did you like better and why (book or movie)? I like the movie because of the scene at the end because it was captured better than any words could've 5. Any final thoughts or questions you have regarding either the book, movie, or Holocaust in general? no, but I would like to know where I could get the Boy in Striped Pajamas I have decided to write about Supernatural because I just started watching it and I can't stop watching it. I love the fact that they make normal cliches good or make them scary, I am not really afraid of a anything and I don't scare easy, so I was happily surprised when one of the episodes terrified me. I also like Supernatural because of the comedy in it and of course I can't forget the Impala, this show makes me want to get a 60s impala because one of the characters (actors) has an impala and I kid you not he treats it like his child, Also the actors are great
I also would like to recommend the show to anyone who hasn't seen it, it has amazing music a great story line and it's just amazing. Warning you will end up learning all the lyrics to 'carry on my wayward son' also you will probably sleep with salt by your bed (don't ask why you will find out when you watch) and finally there is a Supernatural picture for everything and anything. So if you haven't watched go watch it. if I got a million dollars right now I would probably give my mom money to pay off the bills here, and then we would move to Alaska because most of my family lives there and I love Alaska I would get to go fishing with my great grandpa and climb a mountain with my dad and walk around a forest.
