Code of honor

     Kamran is going through a internal conflict. He is missing Darius. On page 67 he says "he is all I think about now. All I talk about." He says "every day is now the same with out him. Eating the stale cereal and watching TV waiting for him to come home." I can see that Kamran is going through a tough time without his brother and misses him very much. I can make a connection to this because when my cousin left for the army I missed her so much and missed all the fun times we had. It was really hard and I really missed them but them they eventually but they ended up coming back and eveything was okay. I hope that happens to Kamran and he will see Darius again.

The reflection of Rwandas Genocide

 Reading everything and learning about this project was very sad to see how many Tutsis were killed by Hutu's. Some interesting things I found out was about the hotel of Rwanda. They filled 100's of Tutsis in the hotel to save them! But how do genocides happen ? Well they happen due to money and governmental problems and conflicts from the past. What we can do about these genocides is make them stop. These genocides are very tragic and very sad to here about. There is nothing like hearing millions of people are getting killed. There are meanings to why genkcides happen but thats not how it should go down. 

Code of honor

In my book Code of Honor by Alan Gratz feels a Memory moment about Darius and him. On page 40 Kamran feels a memory moment about how much he misses and worries about his brother. Kamran says "I remember being 5 years old Darius was thirteen, we were out in the horse ranch where mom worked on superstition mountain." He also says "what do we do Rostam? This is are never ending game! Darius pulled out one of those cheap plastic troll dolls from the dollar store and said  with this the magic troll statue we will win." With this I can see that Kamran is going through some tough times thinking about how much he misses him. I have a connection to this because with my cousin and I we would always pretend of a battle story outside and go along with it and pretend we were soldiers or heroes in the army.  

Code of Honor

    In my book Code of Honor by Alan Gratz I found a external conflict. There is a boy named Kamran who is an All Star for his football team. He has a older brother named Darius and he is in the army. Kamran and Darius are both Iran and White. In the book the say a nasty comment about Darius they say "That Arabic kid doesn't deserve to live anymore."In the story Darius gets threatened to be a terrorists because hes one of the only Arabic in the army.  With that they think he's a terrorist because what's happening and he went missing. 

Adversities of Anne Frank

  In the play we are reading and are learning Anne frank goes through lots of adversities. There is a teenage kid named Peter is 16 and he is one of the closest ages go her. That is very hard for her because she wants to be with another girl to keep her company.  Another adversity she goes through is she lives in a room with a old man named Mr.Dussel.

Holcaust Backround info.

            After reading bystanders andI honestly don't know what I would do. It was such a tough time that they lived in and it seemed so hard. I would try to find a way to help some people even though I wouldn't have been so stable myself. They had a really hard life in the ghettos also. What I think that gave people the inspiration to stand up to the Nazi's was that they got tired mad felt the need to speak up          

Holes

 In my book Holes by Louis Sachar there is a kid named Stanley Yelnats and he is under a curse. I think in this part of the book Stanley is facing a Contrast and Contradiction in a good way. Stanley has always been a friendly guy but also really mean. He has lately seen the people working with him digging holes as family.  He says something like "I know this all has been hell but honestly I couldn't do any of it with out any of your motivation. I'm really glad I met some of you." I can see that Stanley is really starting to care for his friends and realize that's even though it's hard it takes time and it will all be alright.
