3)What is the author's message to the planet?
What is the theme?

I think the theme for this story is about Anne's dream
and how she lived through the hard times and the
secrets that kept her. It might just be an 13 year old
girl, but she actually went through hard times which
were recorded in her diary. She wanted freedom from
the secret annex and the play talks about what and
how she acted to the events in the annex. The girl was
very happy and crazy, but she became dark and a little
frightened as time passed

2) What is prejudice? Where in the world have you seen
prejudice? What are the effects of prejudice?

Prejudice is judging someone by just their looks and it is also
called bias. I have seen prejudice in some places where there
are blacks and whites together. They might be together but
some of them just totally ignore the "other" ethnic group. The
effects of prejudice are that it can cause some conflicts among
people as I have seen before in other places. When I think of
prejudice, Martin Luther King Jr. comes to my head and his
speech on "I have a dream". I don't think prejudice should be
used by people.

1) What do you know already about the Holocaust?

I've heard of the Holocaust that it was during the World War

2 in Germany. German people brought the Jews and tortured

them by gathering them into a gas tank and make them suffer.

I think it was an act of prejudice & racism. I don't know why it

is called the Holocaust but it was a very bad time and there

was a diary left by Anne Frank, who was in part of it. I've heard

people talking about the book and I also heard about it in the

news as well. We will be learning about it in class so I will learn

a lot from this unit.

So Far From the Bamboo Grove (3rd Post)

I recommend this book, So Far from the Bamboo
Grove, because it talks about the Japanese who
were living in Korea, and going through conflicts
in a Japanese point of view. When I first read this,
there were some points in the book that I thought
didn't make sense or was a little different because
Koreans think Japan had a bad relationship, but in
the story some parts include Korea and Japan actually
friendly to each other. However, it still shows how
the Japanese had hard times during the war and
how Yoko and her sister carries out their lives after
their mother dies. At first, the book seemed boring
because I was expecting a boring novel. However,
the book was fun and I enjoyed reading it. It doesn't
just talk about the history of the past, but a real story
from the author. I think this book was interesting and
it wouldn't be bad for you to read once in a while.
