book/movie #2

A lot of bad things go on in the film, from the time that the movie starts til it has ended there is a complete 180 degree change. Every character in the movie is a human and some of the ways these other humans were treated by humans is terrible, from being sent to work/ death camps to being killed on spot in the street out in front of there home, to having to hide and run and be treated how the slaves were just to barely survive and evade hunger. Yes, this film attempts to break away from the theme through the interactions of the main character getting helped a lot from others that were/ weren't his kind and him coping with the terrible situation by using music ( the piano) and having a discipline and reserved attitude. Yes, the film does show that there were good non-Jewish Germans that did want to help and did help. In the book, the Jews seemed alone but in the movie it was like around every bad corner there always seemed to be a little light of help.

Book/movie #1

There families are very similar, because they are very close to each other and are very into their religions, which is Judaism. Each character knows what they want to do in life and what they like and they are determined and set on what they want. One likes pianos and the other likes learning all parts of Judaism. Even when times get rough and there's no hope they hang in there and some how get through it. They both experience bad times and hardship but in different ways and at different times and being different ages. The pianist for instants doesn't go to a camp right away, he travels and without his family or anyone and he lives from what others trying to help him provide for him and in night he is taken to a camp and that's a lot of the book but he does have his father there.

reflect 3/18

I think that this book was very well written and interesting, because it showed an inside look in what happened at a real, well-known death camp through the eyes of a prisoner. Even though it was a ruff story in the camps, I personally think the worst part of all of it would have been travelling in the cattle boxcars to get to what ever camp was your final destination. Some other the little things to live weren't given to them over only a couple days and it shows how much those little things really mean and matter and that we need, just tot live our daily lives.

Part II

Auschwitz

1.3 million worked there

(2.5 million gassed, and 500,000 from disease and starvation) died there

Poland

Sent there to work and to get killed

one of the worst

unbearable, not livable conditions

Part I

I think that Elie's relationship with his father is still pretty strong, I just think he was always upset with his father, because his father only wanted him to study a certain part of his religion when, Elie always wanted to study everything there was to know about it. "Don't talk like that, father." (75) He cares for his father very much, but doesn't want his father to give him his last belongs, becuase Elie still has hope and his father has lost it and is ready to give up.

part I

She warned people of the fires and violence to come on the train and they beat her so, she would shut up. They ignore her and don't believe the fate that's to come. "She is mad, poor woman..."(25)



part II

the "golden Crown" was Elie's golden tooth and when it wasn't taken from him it gave him hope for the time being. It made Elie feel a tiny bit safer and that maybe he would make it through this terrible time. later on in the book it is taken from him, its taken out by another person with a rusty old spoon.

Reflection

I prolly need to improve on everything, that were in those parenthesis... Unfortunately I'm just trying to coast and get through til I finish up. Specifically, I think my attendance has been okay, my effort has been minimal, my attitude has being not very positive to say the least, my completing assignments has been decent besides missing one, my direction following is terrible and last but not least I don't study..I think I did decent on the narratives and not so good on the scholarships. I honestly don't think I've looked at it or even know about it ( that goes along with me not following the directions and not listening and sometimes zoning.) yes, I follow miss spriggs as of 3/4/2013 at 8:17 a.m.
