When reading pages one hundred four through one hundred fifteen there were many personal emotions. This was especially present when Eliezer's father died. It was very sad because Eliezer's father had been through so much already being in the concentration camp itself, but died crying out for Eliezer. He was also so close to being free from the camp. A lot of emotions were also present when Eliezer finally made it out of the concentration camp. It was very emotional because he was one of the very…

you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”-Bob Marley This book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is a powerful book. It shows you how the Nazis were very vulgar to the Jews.

The kids need to understand that the stuff that was happening then could affect us some time in the near future. In conclusion, I…

Poland) from 1881 to 1884 (in that period over 200 anti-Jewish events occurred in the Russian Empire, notably the Kiev, Warsaw and Odessa pogroms).[3] The trigger for these pogroms was the assassination of Tsar Alexander II, for which some blamed "the Jews".[4] The extent to which the Russian press was responsible for encouraging perceptions of the assassination as a Jewish act has been disputed.[5] Local economic conditions (such as ancestral debts owed to moneylenders) are thought to have…

In the early hours of April 9, 1948, commandos of the Zionist groups Irgun and Stern Gang, attacked the Palestinian village of Deir Yassin with the intent to kill as many Palestinians as possible. The Zionist gangs fired at the entire village, families were rounded up and executed, and about twenty five pregnant women were killed.

Mahmud Darwish is a Palestinian poet who lived during the time Palestine was given up to Israel and the Jews. He wrote many poems about Palestine's struggles and their hatred for the Jewish people. “To Our Land” speaks about the struggles the Palestinian people had when they were kicked out of their homes and forced to leave.

I rate The Book Thief a 4 because the different parts of the plot had a unique way of interconnection. There were small details that seemed unimportant, but as the storyline progressed the minute detail from earlier turns out to be important. For example, in the beginning Liesel, the main character, steals a book, and the author recounts the story of how she obtained that book. In the plot that plays a major role because that spurs Liesel's book stealing ways, so that first minute detail ended…
