This week in english

This week in english class we finished are civil rights unit and then we started are mystery unit. for the civil rights unit we had to write three essays over three diffrent stories. i hope i got a good grade on it i must have because i wrote alot. Then we started are mystery unit i think im gonna like this unit because it seems a little more intersting and so far it has ben. on  friday we watched when a stranger calls it was not the remake but it was the original one. I honostley did not think it was scary but at the end it was suspensful. But for the most part it was kind of funny. We only have one week of school then its christmas break and i just want this week to go by as fast as possible. Hopefully we wont have school tomorow but we proabably will. Well thats all i can think of.

This week in english class

This week in english we continued to talk about civil rights, and diffretn kinds of people who have had there rights violated or taken away due to diffrent things. We watched a movie about and Italian Jew who was being held at a consentration camp with his son and wife. And he lies to his son so his son would not be afraid and so his son would stay calm. At the end of the movie the dad sacrifices his life so his son would live and so would his mom. It was interesting to watch the movie because the movie was spoken in foreighn languages so we had to watch the movie with english subtitles. At the end of the week we split up and read stories about gay rights and each group had a diffrent story. Mine was about these two gay men in the military who were having and affair and then someone found out they were gay and then they were kicked out of the military because of it. They were both good soldiers but the miltary has the dont ask dont tell policy so they had to be kicked out. Well that is all i have to say i hope i wrote enough.
