Genocides Can We Stop It? What Are You Willing To Do To End It!

How and why do genocides happen? What can we do about it? 

 A way of how genocides happen is depending on the government and the way it is formed that could commit genocides are totalrian,Dictatorship and so forth. The reason this happens is because of society follows instead of fighting. What we can do about it is protest,we can go into war with the help of other countries.

Do They Both Want To Be Together? Then They Both Need To Start Trying.

I just recently started the book "This Is How You Lose Her" today I will be telling you about a specific character and the questions I have for the book. One of the main characters name is Maganda so far in the book Maganda is has the I don't care attitude and it's wrong because her "boyfriend" Yunior really wants to be with her but all she continues to do is bring him down. "Why don't you leave me alone?" This is Maganda slowly but pushing him away but he doesn't want to leave her! "My Maganda started turning into another Maganada. Who didn't want to sleepover as much or scratch my back when I asked her to." What this is showing is Maganda not trying as hard as she did before and just pushing away farther from their relationship. The questions I have for this book so far is is Maganda noticing how she is treating Yunior? Does she even want to be in this relationship anymore? Should Yunior be the one to stop trying? I hope to see in the future of the book to see Maganda actually try and just realize what she wants is right in front of her!

We Aren't That Similar When It Comes To Our Adversity But We aren't That Different Either.

The adversity Anne Frank faced were something I or anyone would ever want to go through. Her situations were just so surreal they were something that not many people understand and think about on a regular basis. Her difficulties made most people think about what they have taken for granted and it's just makes people realize that they aren't always going to have their family for two long but while they do they should cherish every moment they have with them. Her difficulties make you wonder if you when you actually say "I can't wait to move out and get away from my family" is something you actually mean? Nobody really understands that type of thought but I feel like I do when I tell my mom I'm going to move far away I don't think about it I just say it but her diary made me realize if I actually mean it. She actually lost her family I kinda understand because I've felt like I've lost my family them being there for me or just listening to me but her diary made me realize that I am lucky to have my family to have a family that loves and cares for me.

One Terrible Catastrophe That Changed America Forever

I think the reason people stood by and watched this happen was because they felt as if it wasn't them getting attacked so not to worry about them. They though to keep their distance and worry about themselves and only themselves. I think what inspired others to stand up to the Nazis was them knowing that they wouldn't want to be in that situation so they're made it their most to protect the ones that went through it. I know I would've been an up stander the reason is because I know that I wouldn't want to be apart from my family and I wouldn't want to be miss treated. So why should someone else be? I know to put others needs before my own which is why I would also make sure they're safe and sound. Nobody should be treated that way for believing in certain things.

Started Off A Little Shy.

At the very beginning of the book "A Little Something Different" one of the main characters named Gabe was really shy. Gabe wasn't really the best at starting up a conversation or even keeping a conversation going all he would do is nod,shake his head and just maybe even give a little shrug. He wasn't that good at giving out school presentations because he would just panic about speaking in front of the entire class. He knew it wasn't a good thing because he knew or thought people wouldn't understand why he was so shy. But later on in the book he does become less to himself and he starts to talk more and starts to feel more comfortable while giving out school presentation."Do you want to,um,maybe,um,you can say no,of course. You would maybe,if you wanted to,sit with me?" What this piece of evidence is showing is Gabe actually talking to Lea and finally being able to ask her to sit with him is showing that his shyness is slowly going away. "He's gotten better at sharing this semester. He's not the same kid he was when he stood up there back in fall" this piece of evidence is sowing how Gabe has learned to just be a little less shy and has gotten better at communicating with others. I saw this character develop during the book and that's what I enjoyed.
