1)My reaction when David first spoke I thought he probably wouldn't be that good. I thought he was just going to say a few things about himself and his family and then about the war and then he is done, but this guy gave such emotion into his speach than anyone I have ever heard before. I felt that he didn't care what anyone thought he just wanted to get the word out. The depth and heartlessness of the Gustapo in this war came out of his heart like a shooting star. I really was shocked and everyone around us was shocked. As soon as he started everyone was quiet, then while he was taking a drink of water I could feel the fear when his hand shook. It's like his hand gave me a sign of how terrible he felt. I really appreciate him and really liked his speech about what he went through during the war.
( ABOUT HIS HAND SHAKING, IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THEN THIS NEXT PART WILL BE ABOUT IT )
( Well whenever his hand would shake when he took a drink of water, I thought to myself about people surviving in this war and about how people suffered. I would look at his hand thinking to myself of how terrible it could of been. I mean just imagine a old man come speak with you about his survival and how he suffered and then think about what he went through. So i just felt like he still has some fear in him over the war and now I understand how bad this time period was and how he feels.)
2)David was not dwelling on what happened to him and his family but going on with the present situation by helping the partisons where ever he was needed. He felt like he was getting his family back again. He was in a place where he was in control again. It was exciting to him to bomb the trains.
3)The Gustapo let David go because he was a kid and he did not know anything. They throw him out the window and he broke some ribs. The Gustapo didn't have any reason to go after him. David took off. Maybe the Gustapo wanted people to hear what happened so they would be shocked and scared.

Rdg Post #2 Because of Romek
1) The pigeon was a pet that David became very close with. The pigeon helped him forget about what was happening around him. The pigeon distracted the Nazis and allowed his family to escape. So the pigeon was significance in the form of him helping out his family that he has not been attached too.
2) At this camp the prisoners had to work very hard. They only were fed enough food to survive. It was hardly a vacation camp. Maybe they called it a vacation camp because they didn't want to be reminded of how horrible it really was.
3)
A:Was it hard to think about how life use to be before the Nazi invasion? Did you wish you could go back to life the way it was?
B:Was there any moment that you actually felt good in this time period or was every minute a hard painful life?

TOTAL PAGES THIS WEEK______43____
Response:I did not know how mean the Nazis were towards the Jews. I could not understand how they could hate them so much to the point of treating them like dogs.
Davids family was very loving and very close. He had six sisters and a mother and father. The father did not want the family to seperate for any reason. That is one of the reasons they were still in Poland.
David was very brave. Even under the worst conditions of hearing people dieing he still helped his father escape and did not worry about his own life.

Mural Reflection
Project Reflection: Post on your Blog
Project Title: Mural Project
Class: AC Humanities
*You may type directly in this document and copy and paste into blog, or simply address each of the following in a post. It should be approx. 2 pages worth of writing.
PURPOSE: In this section, explain what you were supposed to learn and what you were supposed to do.
The purpose of this project was to learn about the Aztec culture and their religion. We also learned about the Aztecs way of life and about how they live without the machinery we have today. In order to learn about murals, we had to create a painting of a mural that represented our topic which was eclipse. We also had to write a artist statement about our mural and include the Aztec culture.
WHAT I LEARNED
In this section, tell what information or skills you learned or improved.
I learned about the Aztecs and many different topics of what Aztecs did to live learn and develop through their culture. I learned about the social classes of the Aztecs from the lowest being peasants/slaves to the highest which is the ruler and his king. I explored the concept of an eclipse which is when the moon is over the sun. In this project, I learned how to make a painting of a mural and how to make different colors of paint to paint your mural.
REFLECTION
In this section, reflect on your experience. Did you like the project? Why or why not? How did you do? What would you do differently next time?
I enjoyed this project because it gave me a chance to do an active activity and paint something. I thought any other project such as the mad lib for example was all typing and not being active. I feel like I could have done better on this project because to my group I didn’t stick up to my full potential but in my mind I think they did just as good as me and the confidence in my work is going down because of the potential they wanted me to go to. I agree that some people have different personalities but I disagree on people who think they are better than other people or who think they have done more than many people in my group. Next time, I would like to of let my group know that I am better than they think I am and that I won’t care what their opinion is, it is just what I feel and if I feel I did a fantastic job to half the people in my groups mind and my mind then I think that I have done a great job in my group. (Trying to give personal feelings...)
ARTIFACTS
You should have at least one artifact from each project on your DP. What document, picture, or link will you have for this project?
Mural, artist statement, and notes on how Aztecs live through their lives and the culture they bring
