Last weekend

Last weekend had lot in it. To get started on Saturday I woke up at six in the morning. To go canoeing with my Boy Scout troop. But there were problems with too many people so I ended up getting a canoe with no seats in it. Right after that I got to the pancake breakfast set up at 2 with my troop. Afterward I went to a white son against Indians baseball game. The white sox lost badly. After that day was over I woke up at six again on Sunday. But this time for my troops actual pancake breakfast. Which I had to leave early at 11:30 because of a camp out I am staffing at in the summer. While I was there for about 5 hours I tweaked my presentation and talked to the kids there. Then finally I left a half hour early to go to another camp out meeting I am attending in the summer. So along with all of the early wake ups I went to sleep at around 10:30 each night. So all in all I had a phenomenal amount of stuff in my weekend.

The long weekend

In my school we got to skip school on Friday due to it being good friday. On Sunday it was Easter so to Celebrate my family went to Naperville with my aunt, cousins, and grandma. Once we got there we unpacked and ran around and had fun the first day. But on the second day we went on an Easter egg hunt and had more fun and the left. During the Easter egg hunt I was determined to find the  most eggs. One humorous thing was that when it started my cousin ran past an obvious egg and into a mud pit losing his shoe. In total I spent around a day and a half there. So it total I really enjoyed my time in Naperville and would go again.

Holocaust movie review

              The movie life beautiful is a depressing story about a holocaust survivor. The movie is a historical fiction tale but under realistic circumstances. The dad was originally the main character to establish personality but at the end it was revealed that the child was retelling the story in the holocaust. The beginning sets up the beginning sets up the personality while middle and end shows the conflict. Upon first entering they did a good job contrasting the dads personality with longer lasting survivors. One of the main characters friends has returned has returned as a nazi but has gone crazy and they have to change plan making the movie end the way it did. The movies representation of the holocaust is very realistic in showing the character development.
              The movie connects widely with what I have learned. It shows what a ghetto would be like and how miserable and soul crushing it is. This movie shows how hard it was to keep high spirits in the face of such adversity. It as well shows how many casualties there were. They also show how normal and otherwise happy people were affected by the nazis. The movie shows how serious the nazis were about their job was to them.
              This movie has two different parts and the first half gets you attached and fond of the characters. It also shows how they were just normal people. While the second part focuses on what it is like to be trapped and suffer in a ghetto. Both of these have completely different themes as one shows a happy life while the other shows misery. While both of these are very different it brings back an overly happy person making even the ghetto.
             The movie is full of many happy moments but there are two that stick out to me. The first one   is when the man first enters the ghetto and claims to speak German to sell a lie to his kid. The lie is not bad because it keeps his kid happy throughout the ghetto. This really shows how much he loves his kid because he is willing to die before his kid dies and suffers. Another happy moment is when the dad mocks the soldier in front of his kid. This is happy because it shows how even in the darkest of times there can be joy. Because the dad knew he would die he tried to keep his kid happy and with good memories.

Regret kills

Regret is a very unpleasant emotion because it shows what you failed to do and tears you down. I regret many things but the two big things are not going to my martial arts class in a long time and quitting violin. I regret these things because they really honed in 2 of my skills. While both of these could have benefited me later in life I just stopped. I am not really sure why because of how long ago it was but I still feel the conflict. When I was younger I did many things that I still regret and like everyone I have a big list of things that I wish I would've done, didn't do, or finished. So all in all I believe my life would be contrasted to now in a good way if I did not quit.

Nazi propaganda

This poster reads "long live Germany". This is one of the nazis many propaganda posters that they used to promote themselves. For people who don't know, propaganda is advertisement through something that raises the truthe. Although propaganda can be good this is not one of those examples because this promoting the extermination of Jews. He put this poster because it attempts to portray him in a glorious way. It is also trying to say that he cares for Germany. Propaganda could be used for good uses like promote gender equality, racial equality, global warming, etc. But with Hitler's use to try and do a complete massacre is not a good reason. This propaganda is especially bad because of how much it stretches the truthe by saying that Hitler is a good person, he really believes in Germany, and how he is a good leader. This propaganda is hugely lyeing that Hitler believes in Germany because he helped put Germany in a worst position.

Perseverance

The moment that I am choosing to write about in my life is when I had to take the essay structure test. The reason I chose this because it was really hard and it took a lot of practice. Sadly I did not pass it and I am still attempting to pass the retake. But it brought out many character traits including perserverance, hard working, and dedication. It showed these because of how hard I studied. But I couldn't explain or analyze some of the answers which is why I did not pass. So I think that this is a good example because of the amount of studying.
