Word mosaic for Night

For my mosaic, I put the words that mean the hardships and deaths included the concentration camp. 

can a genocide like the Holocaust happen in US?

I don't think anything like the Holocaust could happen over here. Sure there are many big issues over here, alot of them political. Sure history may be bound to repeat itself, but even if something as awful as the Holocaust did happen again, I hardly believe it will happen over here. We have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, which means a certain religion that is aimed to be wiped out is won't be possible here because the Constitution says that we have freedom of religion and we can't go back on that. So a certain religion to be killed like in the Holocaust won't ever happen here. We also have the freedom of speech so whatever political thing that may or may not affect our nation can be said freely. So no political groups can be killed for their views. We also have the right to Bear Arms. That means many Americans without some sort of weapons, they would be powerless if our government ever had to rule by force. Any certain target aimed to be destroyed has the right to defend themselves if that group was forcefully taken. So with our freedoms that another country may not have, a genocide by our own government doesn't seem likey. In the event a genocide happens here, the government would be going against the Constitution.

Rwanda genocide

I found the Rwanda genocide for my research. Ifound out that more than 800,000 men, women, and children died in this genocide from 1994. There is also more than 20,000 documents, photographs, and some videos of this genocide. I think this was a very terrible and sad thing to hear about. Many survivors feel that it's heartbreaking that some other fellow survivors deny what happened what happened to their families, friends, and their people. This issue makes me wonder about our own future. Would something like the Rwanda genocide and the Holocaust ever happen to any people of a certain race, ethiniticity, or religion here? If so, will we ever be prepared?

Night

After watching the interview, I learned that about 1.5 million people died at Auschwitz alone. A lot of those million were the Jewish. I also learned that the blue and white striped suits that the prisoners wore were never washed. From the Pre-test, I learned that America and everywhere had concentration camps.The pictures of the prisoners was what struck me the most. How they were almost walking skeletons with skin over was very powerful. From this part in history, we can learn to never make the same mistake again. I'm anxious to read Night because to read about a real experience in the Holocaust would give us a better look into the Holocaust. I can't wait to read it. It sounds interesting.

favroite books

I love to read a lot. Some days I wish I could live in a library because every book could keep me busy for the rest of my life. I read various genres of books from horror to romance.  I could read just about any type of book that appeals to me. Except usually science fiction.  Right now, I'm reading 4 different books at the same time. I read a little of one book a day then the next I pick up on another. But right now I've been reading Catching Fire. It's a fiction. In the second Hunger Games book, Katniss is scheduled to marry Peeta but she is also called back into the Games against past victors. She and Peeta have to go back into once again survive. But she also thinks about District Thirteen. She, District Twelve, and the other Districts believed that District thirteen was just a wasteland until runaways from district Eight tell Katniss about thinking that people might still be alive in Thirteen.
