An Auschwitz Inmate

The situation that the people are in is a horrible and terrible place to be. I have a couple questions about the piece of writing. How many people a day got added to the camps and how many did they kill everyday?

.opposites.

This shows dead and alive, also autumn and spring. I really like this because the colors are dark and light. As you can see there is a clear difference of alive and dead. This shows that different things can be in the same community and still be natural or look like it is natural.

This is a picture of forest and city. It shows the oposite of nature and man-made, the exact opposite. Man-made, could be beautiful but it is not natural and it was placed there. The forest was there all along, compared to the city the forest looks a lot nicer and more appealing.

It is acceptable to remove a member of a society or a group if he or she is thought to be inferior to the others.

I disagree with this statement because you do should not have the right to remove someone just because you do not like the way they are acting. The people that are getting bothered by it should be able to handle it and talk to the people who is bothering them. I think that because everyone doesn't like everyone and their personalities. This does not give the right to remove or take them away from the community.

What is a 'good' life ?

A good life to me is to have enough things in order to survive. Many people out in the world don't have enough food to survive or medication or shelter and they don't have such a good life. Then there is us, we go to school, we eat 3 times a day, we go to the doctor when we are sick and we have all these privileges that other people don't so we are considered to have a good life. A good life could also mean you get some of the things you want like a camera or a cellphone or lots of clothes and so on. That could also be considered a good life because you have what you want. In instances before when you drive past or through a small village you see all these little kids playing around and some look hungry and some of their clothes are worn out but they still wear them. When you see something like that you feel very privileged because you have a good life.

My Identity

Protagonist in A Friend Like Henery

A friend like henry has one main protagonist, Dale a boy with a severe case of autism his carachteristics are:

'limitless supply of energy' This really affected the parents of Dale because on streets dale would have full on tantrums and never run out of enery for them

Dale had an obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine, Thomas and his friends learned dale about all kinds of things: colours, feeling, facial expressions and also a love for tranportation 'Dale predictably adopted Thomas as his new obsession',

In the begining of the book dale was not too effectionate at all and had no feeling forhtose around him at all but as the book went on he slowly learned about what people went through and he had never learned the meaning of love until a dog was introduced to him called Henery, from henery he learned the meaning of love: 'Mommy, Dale loves you' I ran around the isle where Jamie was staring at our wee lad in amazment and knelt down, arms wide open in delight 'Dale come here' I shouted back ' I want a hug, I love you too'

Dale was a tall boy, when he was 13 he was in the grade with 11 year olds but because of his autism he wasnt as smart so he was with the younger kids but he fully fitted in because he was on the same side on a maturity scale as the kids 2 years younger than him. He also had dark hair with blue beautiful eyes

What is the Journey in you book so far ?

The Journey in my book; A Friend Like Henry. I really like this book because I can really relate to the journey of the book. This book is about a little boy named Dale who acts really strangely. His mother Nuala Gardner is concerned about her little boy and she sees many doctors and they all say he is to young to see what is wrong with him. The Journey in the first three chapters that I have read is quite sad because the mother is so scared there is something wrong with her child.

'This, and his limitless supply of energy, became one of our biggest challenges. He would run constantly, both in the and outside, but not at all like any other energetic youngster. His running was repetitive, almost ritualistic and without purpose. He would charge across the room, bounce himself off the wall to gain momentum and race back again - droning continuously, sometimes in a happy tone, sometimes anxious.'

I think this passage shows really well that Dale isn't your normal child, his parents are concerned about him.
