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.

 In The chapters of night John it is a book about a slave named John Who escaped to the north were there was no slavery. While he was up noth he learned how to read and write but he thought how the slaves were being treated down south was wrong so he decided to go back down south and teach slaves how to read and write. But by doing this it was a very big risk because if he got caught teaching a slave how to read and write he could get killed, and also the person who he was teaching how to read and write could be beaten or killed. But john did eventually get caught and he got caught in a farm owned by a white man and that is when he had met a girl named sarrny.

This week in egnlish

this week in english we finished reading twelve angry men it wasnt a bad book it was just boring at some parts. After we finished the book we watched the movie on it then had a test over it i hope i did well. i think the movie helped me out on the test because it helped me understand the book. We didnt have class on wensday because we saw the play to kill a mocking bird. All the sophmores saw it because all the english 10 classes read the book. I thought the play was alright it got me out of 2 and a half periods. Well thats all i got to say.
