In ELA we watched this movie called Life Is Beautiful. It takes time during the Holocaust, and there was this family that was sent to a concentration camp. The wife (Dora) was separated from the child and the father in the girls section of the camp. (I didn’t see the first part of the movie) So from what I saw, was that the leaders of the camp had tricked the children into going in the gas chambers for a “shower” and wiped them all out. But there was one child who didn’t like showers (Giouse)and so he ran to his father. And since his father was so creative, he came up with a game so his son wouldn’t get scared or anything. If the child follows all the rules and hide, he will win the game and get a tank. There was a time where the child wanted to leave but the dad said they were so close to getting the tank and tricked him into staying so they wouldn’t get caught escaping. But towards the end bad things start to happen and the Germans fight the U.S and the father gets caught to look for Dora and never finds her while Germans escape with hundreds to send to gas chambers. Then the father gets shot but the child finally gets his tank and the mom escaped the trucks and they lived a better life. My favorite part was when the father’s inside friend invites him to be a waiter at a dinner and his son sneaks in and he also gets food but then he speaks, which he speaks another language from all Germans and everyone knows. He says thank you in his language and the commander goes to get the higher commander but by then he’s teaching all of the children how to say thank you in Italian. The movie was really interesting.
Healing ‘Brick City’: A Newark Doctor returns home relates to The Outsiders in different ways. In both the article and the book they resemble heroism and lots of struggle, loss, and sacrifice. “My past wasn’t always perfect. I grew up in a single-parent home with five siblings [in a] drug-infested community”. This relates to The Outsiders because, Johnny gave back to be apart of tomorrow. He risked his life in a burning church, to save children. He was a brave hero, and the the man gave back by also saving lives as a doctor, and his mother’s words of the wiser set him up for life to help his community. “Through my mother’s way of handling life, she always made sure that I understood the need to give back.... She always said, ‘Once you make it, you have to come back and help other people.’ Too often, in Newark especially, I see so many professionals that do make it out — they don’t return. And I think that’s a crime in itself.... You have to have some soci...
