Holocaust, war, and human life

During the Holocaust about six million people died. They were murdered because of their race, sexual orientation, and mental or physical disabilities. The Nazi's did not like these people because they were different. In war we fight because of our differences, we dislike people because of their religion. In human life everyday people are tortured and murdered because of their race, religion, sexual orientation, physical appearance, and just because they are different. Why are these people constantly shamed because they are different? What makes people think that just because they don't believe in the same stuff as someone else that it is okay to kill them? There are little Hitlers all over the world, running around tormenting people who are different all the time but no one knows why.

The moment I realized my mom is a good person

A moment that made me see that my mom is a good person is when my grandma's dog got cut by something sharp. We were sitting inside at my grandma's house and we heard the dog weeping at the door. My mom went down to let him in and noticed his rear had been bleeding and examined it. She sent me to tell my grandma what had happened and that she was bringing the dog to the vet. She took care of him until he was fully recovered.

My to Kill A Mockingbird Experience

If I were to transfer the story of Scout and her adventures I would have to change the time and place. I would also have to change the things they do, like sneaking around Boo Radley's house. For me it would be more like sneaking into the woods with my friends to explore a new hiding place. The curiosity that the children have would stay the same. I think that I would have been friends with all of these children as a child because we have many of the same interests.

Instructions for Living a Life

"Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it."- Mary Oliver

I think this quote is saying what you have to do in order to live a proper life through the eyes of Mary Oliver. Like she thinks you have to pay attention to everything around you and to every detail of your life. She also thinks that you have to be astonished. Tell about your life and make everyone listen to your story that way you are never forgotten, even after you have died.

My Constitutional Amendment

If I had been chosen by a completely random lottery to be the only person to get a once in a lifetime opportunity to make up one brand new Constitutional Amendment that gets added to The Constitution automatically and takes effect immediately I would choose to make abortion illegal. I would do this because I believe it is wrong to have an abortion because it is murder. I think that if people don't want kids then they should be more careful.

What do you wish you could believe in again???

"There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again."-W.H.Auden

I wish I could believe in Santa Clause again because it was so fun when I was a little kid. Waiting up on Christmas Eve so you can see Santa come, waking up on Christmas morning to open your presents. Christmas was just more exciting when I was little.

Are physical appearances related to personalities???

I think that some peoples physical appearances match their personality because some people modify their bodies to show their personalities. Although you can't tell most peoples personalities from just looking at them. Like if you see someone covered in tattoo's with piercings everywhere can you say their personality just from that picture. If my internal beauty was related to my external appearance then i would be tiny and shy. What would you look like?
