This autobiographical novel tells the story of Eliezer, a teenage Jewish boy from the small Transylvanian village of Sighet. He is 17 when transported to Auschwitz, Buna, and finally Buchenwald with his father. Eliezer loses his faith, argues with God, and is sustained only by the need to care for his father. Instead of God, he is rescued by an American tank.

Book review 2

Well the book that i am reading is called "Night" and i thought that it was a really sad book because so of the people in the book got killed and some had to work long hours for nothing.

Favorite web based tool

well i like my blog because i can be able to go on the blog and put things on it and then people will be able to read it. I also like my gmail account because i can send messages to people that i know and they will write me back when they get it.

Interest and disturbing thought about the holocaust

Well the concentration camps are camps where prisoners are kept and tortured at the high part. The people at the concentration camps had to work for the food that they were allowed to have but sometimes they did not get any food.

Haiku

Lets pay tribute to...
Courage to be responsible;
so be responsible.

Spring Break reflection
