You did a good job an explaining Elle in the book Night.

I put in the mosaic that Elle was brave, helpful, smart. I said he was brave because he didn't he got threw the holocaust. He was helpful because he helped his dad survive. He was smart because he found out a way to survive so long in the holocaust.

Today i do think that there could be a holocaust in the United States because of the amount of racism. If someone where to be the leader of the mass killing it would probably be a person from the white supremacists because they are already racist and wanting to kill people that are not like them. It would also probably start in the south west because to me that is were most of the racism is.

 But if this would actually happen i don't think that it would last very long because i think people in the United States can figure out that what is happening is wrong and they would probably retaliate. I also don't think it would work because most of the United States are made up of different races so if one race targeted another other races would help the one that is being targeted.

Your post was very violent and depressing. I have one question for you. Why do you like so much violence?

There pictures were very intense but they were still really good.

The pictures had a lot of guns and explosions but it showed how the genocide was. Do you wish you wish you had those guns because i do.

The genocide that i read was the Rwanda genocide that happened in Africa. 800,000 Rwandans were killed in a years time. It all started with the death of their president Juvenal Habyarimana who was killed when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994. In Kigali, the presidential guard immediately initiated a campaign of retribution. Leaders of the political opposition were murdered, and almost immediately, the slaughter of Tutsis and moderate Hutus began. It was also said that the bodies of the people they killed were thrown in to rivers. I haven't researched many genocides but this one has to be one of the worst because Africa already has a lot of problems and they didn't need this. Even if this occurred in 1994 it was still was one of the worst that i have read about.

Night

The thing that struck me the most was the amount of deaths in Auswitch alone. What also surprised me was the amount of people the put in each camp. What i would like to know more about is the life inside the camp so people can have a better understanding of life inside the camps and how brutal they were. The things i didn't know was the guards could kill the people without any reason. I also didn't know that the people in the camps had to share a bed with two other people. I am excited to read the book night because i can learn more about the life inside the concentration camps. I anticipate that the novel will be graphic and brutal but a great story. I think he will talk about everything that he had to endure in the camps.

Intro blog

I do like to read books all the time. The type books i like to read is adventure. My favorite books are Rangers Apprentice and The Percy Jackson series. My least favorite book is Hello Kitty Adventures. The book that i am reading right now is The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan. It is about seven demigods finding away to not have Gaia rise and destroy everyone. The thing i found interesting about the book is that it tells you who the Greek and Roman god are.

I made this trailer so students can have a better variety of books. The also might want to read more books by just watching this video.

I learned that the music that you chose will determine the mood of the trailer.
Running away from cops and even your own family just to not get Unwound. Everyday you have to worry about getting caught and taken to your death. You have to worry who is your friend and is your enemy.You will never know if your safe until the age of 18.

The book I am reading is Unwind which is about 3 kids Connor,Risa, and Lev running away from being unwound. This book is a dystopia because is post 2 civil war. It also has a corrupt government and there is strict confority. Lastly, the parents chose if the want to Unwind the kids at the age of 13.

This mosaic describes the character Roland from the book Unwind he isn't the main character but he has an impact on the story.

The song that i choose for my blog is Fallen Timbers by Phillip Eric Bailey. I choose this because the song starts of slow just like the book but graduly gets more complecated and more things happen within the song and book. Then towards the end of the song it sounds happier just like in the book the character acomplish some of there goals within the book.

Unwind is a Dystopia.

Introduction

Hi my name is Andres Womac and the books I like to read are action novels also books with pictures. I read about 3 to 4 books a month. The book i have choosen for a dystopian is Unwind by Neal Shusterman. I picked this book because it was the last book i could choose. I predicted there will be a happy ending. I hope that they don't get Unwound. I think that this book is a dystopian because the time period is post 2 cival war which means this book is in the FUTURE. Which is one of the charatiristics of a dystopian.
