Blog 3 The mystery Chimney rock

I chose “The Mystery Of Chimney Rock” by; Edward Packard because it look like a book that i never read before and it caught what caught my attention in the book was beginning of the first page it was like you were the detective in the story. “Your kidding?” you ask. “If you think we’re kidding,” Michael says “Why don't you go inside?”  If you say,”  I’ll do it,” turn to page 4. If you say “no thanks,” turn to page 6” is what caught my attention. You don't really expect to find most of these but if you read this one you will be  attached to this book. This book is a book that you have to keep focus to under stand. And on thing that really caught my eye was the first page.”do not read this book straight through from beginning to end!” this just makes me want to read the book more. And you can read the book up to 36 different times and always have a different ending.

What I wonder about is if the curse is real how can you actually break it. If you can how can it be broken? For how long has it been going on? This chapter part three ended with Jane being found by the main  character. And they went out of the house. But thats what keeps me wondering is there really a curse and how did she go out of the house with out anything bad happening to her or someone. How did the lady stay there with out dying and people said that no body lived there.

I thought that this part of the book was much funnier than the first part. Why? Well because you (me) is afraid of the old wrinkly lady in a black dress. “You round the corner and encounter a slim,tall,elderly woman dressed in a black.Her face is wrinkle. but her green eyes are sharp. Her nee seems darker than the rest of her face. Her head slopes  back, and her reddish -white hair is swept back in a bun. She stares at you with hatred in her eyes, and you stare back, determined not to turn your eyes away.” I thought this was funny because the main character is afraid of an old lady who has a cat and that everyone  else thinks that this house the main character is in is cursed. I like this new part of the book. And I think you would to.

I disliked the ending of this part because it gusted finished with “don’t be afraid. I am your friend. You have freed me from the witch’s curse!” What do you mean? Where is Mrs.Bigley?” you ask. She died, yesterday,” he replies,” for the last time.” The End.” That was a sucky ending cause it had no more mystery to it. But also it was funny when the guy said “She died yesterday” I think that the main character must have been shocked because she was just looking at Mrs.Bigley a while ago before the guy came.

Blog 2 first part of The Mystery of Chimney Rock

“The Mystery of Chimney Rock” by; Edward Packard was the book I read and its a mystery book. When it comes to reading this book you really have to put your mind into it as if you where the person because than you get lost. What I really liked was how when you would read a page you would have several choices to choice from to continue on the mystery trail of the house. Like in the first page of the book “Your not kidding?” you ask  “If you think we’re kidding” Michael says, “why don't you go inside?” “If you say, “I’ll do it,” turn to page 4. If you say “no thanks,” turn to page 6” as you can see from these lines it has a mystery twist to it that makes you keep on reading. This book makes me feel like a character and just want to wonder around to see what happens. I like that I can pick what happens next in the book and how it ends. And that i can reread the book and always choose a different way to go through the book.

“The Mystery of Chimney Rock” by; Edward Packard. I did like this book at the beginning but as I started to continue to read it the book shortly started to end. Which in some cases I like when the book ends fast but I was  just starting to like the book. I part why I liked it was because the choices it gave me it just kept keeping me feel more and more connected. And the part that kept me upset was when I choice the wrong option and the book ended with the next page. I think the book either way it ended in a bad place its alright because then I can go back and choose different choices. Which most people would like.

Hidden child from the holocaust

Blog 1- paragraph 1

Hidden child of the holocaust by Stacy Cretzmeyer. What I really found interesting was that in the book is divided in to two parts. And the first part is what really caught my attention because in most Holocaust books that i have read none say anything about non-jewish people accept jews. But in the book it really gave a good and realistic picture of how the Germans were. In the beginning of the book is where its talks about how most non-jewish accepted the jewish but most people who accepted the jew hated what the Germans were doing and would risk there own lives to save the life of others from being killed or send off to the concentration camps. “It was my turn to confide in ruth that as a fifth grader I had heard the personal account of a catholic woman who had sheltered Jewish families during the early years of the war. She wand her husband had smuggled many families to “safe houses” and eventually attracted the attention of gestapo agents. The  woman had been tortured by the Nazis in an effort to force her to disclose the whereabouts of her husband. Her fingernails were torn out one by one by her Nazi persecutors but the woman never confessed.Unfortunately her husband was eventually captured and murdered by the Nazis.” This shows that people really did not like what the Nazi were doing people sacrificed themselves to save the life of many others.

Blog 1 paragraph 2

I think that the author wrote this book because she wanted to let people know that what Nazi were doing was bad and that its unacceptable to hurt people just because of there religion. Another thing people really like talking about the Holocaust because you can just write about how you feel and if you agree on the the teller.  Also Stacy wanted to know much more about how her teachers past was. But some past are just better left in the past and maybe thats why it gave Stacy wanted to study about the holocaust and how the teacher made it out alive and away form the Nazi. Stacy really wanted to know about the teachers past so she went to France to see if there are still people alive who would accept the jewish or if there was nuns cause most nun accepted the homeless jewish kids and change there religion so the kids didn't get killed.

Summary 

I finished ready the book “Behind the Bedroom Wall” By Laura E. Williams. At first of the book it only introduced the main characters like Korinna Rehme and Rita Korinna’s best friend and the Nazi. Korinna and her parents are hiding jews behind Korinna’s  bedroom wall. This all happened in world war 2 when Hitler wanted power. They were doing this because they don’t like how the Nazi were treating the jews so they would hide a family behind Korinna’s room walls. And Rita’s brother Hans a Nazi solider was sent to search Korinna’s house and Eva another of Korinna’s friend told her that to night they were going to search her house only because someone told the Nazi that she and her parents were hiding jews. Korinna after school came home to warn her mother and the jewish family to go hide somewhere else to hid e because they were going to search the house. When the jewish family left Korinna filled her room secret wall of Hitler’s posters. And to know what happens on the end you will have to read the book. 

Tough Question

Korinna was wondering if Rita was the one who stole her notebook and was she the one who told Hans about Korinna’s parents hiding the jews?  This makes me wonder that Rita was the one who took the black notebook because Rita was the only one else who knew where it was besides Korinna. And also she really wasn't a friend by stealing and telling Hans. I was really upset with how a best friend could do this to someone. And you wouldn’t expect to punch your sister’s best friend’s dad. I thought that, that was really rude. I just want to know if Rita really was Korinna’s friend  

Behind the Bedroom Wall by Laura E. Williams

Behind the Bedroom Wall Summary:

I when i was reading "Behind the Bedroom Wall" really like how it was written because it has a lot of emotions so you really get into the book and you can just imagine it. IN the story it starts by talking about how they were hiding some jews. And how it was not good to talk to jews anywhere. But towards the middle and end its where the best parts are at. In the middle they are about  main characters the  first Korinna main character second Rita Korinna's best friend, third Hans, Korinna’s parents, the Nazi, and the . Korinna’s parents are hiding jews behind Korinna’s bedroom walls. But her parents have reached her not to hate anyone. But sometimes when  Korinna is home she treats Rachel the little jew girl really bad  because she was playing with her cat. Korinna wants to tell the Nazi that her parents are hiding jews and she starts to think about the consequences so she doesn't tell the Nazi. Rita kept insisting to come over Korinna’s house and Rita found a notebook and a few days later the notebook went missing and Hans Rita’s brother who's a Nazi solider came to search Korinna’s house because the Nazi her that they were some jew in this area and Hans beat up Korinna’s dad. And thats were I left off

Contrast and Contradiction

I am reading the book called "Behind The Bedroom Wall". When I was reading this book what i saw happened was a contrast and contradiction when she was in school they would teach her to hate the jews. So she would but only outside of home she would hate them but in her house she feel sympathy for them but in the beginning she feels hatred to Rachel a little girl who is hiding behind her bedroom wall who is also jewish. I thought that is something that really got my attention.

Holocaust Blog

When I was reading about the holocaust I felt like, why didn't anyone help the jews, but then I got into reading a bit more and I might understand why they didn't want to. I personally think that I  would be an up stander by moving to the country side and hide some Jews or where it's not so populated and away from the Nazi or even send them to a different country and risk my life to free these people. Also  if I saw some people suffering rom the Nazi I would help them and cure for them. I read a passage about the Schinler 's List story and I thought that, that was a really good idea and very nice of him to risk his know life to save millions. I felt like if others did the same thing as Schinler than maybe 6million jews wouldn't be dead. I think that if people weren't so afraid of Hitler or the Nazi than the holocaust wouldn't happened. I feel really bad on how people where treated. When I heard about the gas chambers I told my self how could anyone have a heart filled with such hatred. I think that what really made the citizens be afraid about the Nazi was how they started slowly and people just kept things to themselves I think they thought that things would stay the same. I think I would do the same on quiet cause I wouldn't know what was happening but I think that I would do anything just to help these people. I just want to know how would it be if Hitler was not a dictator or was not that evil?
