Dead Is not an option Note and Notice (Tough Questions) 12/11/14

             I recently finished reading Dead is not an Option.  Dead is not an option is about a teenage girl named Daisy Giordano.   Daisy is saying good-bye to nightshade High and getting ready to go to college, but there hasn't been any acceptance letters. Daisy's other main focus is if her and her boyfriend Ryan are going be in the same college. But thats not the only thing she has on her mind. There is a Vampires vs Shifters going on at Nightshade High. Things are starting to get really intense between the Vampires and Shifters. The conflict is carrying over to the Giordano's home. Daisy's two older sisters, Poppy and Rose have boyfriends. Poppy is dating a vampire, while Rose and Daisy are dating Werewolf's. Daisy starts to investigate that involve mysterious new people in town and some people she's known from the past like her nemesis, celebrity chef/ Sorceress Circe Silvertongue. 


                                    (Tough Questions)

Tough Questions for those who don't know what it is, its when your reading and the character asks himself a really difficult question. 

While I was reading Daisy, asked herself "Would Nightshade survive a war between the vampire and shifters?". This question makes me think about what can happen. Since things are getting so intense wouldn't that mean that anything can happen at any moment? Meaning that if there were to be a war of Vampires and shifters, Nightshade will be totally destroyed and gone. What would happen after the vampires and shifters get into war? Will vampires and shifters finally get along after they have war? or will they keep things how they are now? Find out buy reading this amazing book! (Dead is Not and Option by:Marlene Perez) You wont believe what happens!!

Diary Of Anne Frank Character Analysis

I am currently reading Anne Frank.  So far Anne has just been writing in her diary and explaining how life is during the time of the holocaust. In her diary she writes "Dear Kitty," I found that to be really interesting because of how she mentioned "Kitty".  As I was reading more into the book , Anne was very worried about her dad that was ill. Anne's dad had high fever, cough and he didn't seem to be good. Anne's family then started to run out of food little by little. It would be a mission for them to get food because they live in an attic that their living in to stay. Anne's character is very wise. In the book on page 44-45 she says "I love them;  but only because they are Mummy and Margot. With Daddy its different. If he holds Margot up as an example, approves of what she does praises and caresses  her, then something gnaws at me inside, because I adore Daddy. He is the only one I look up to. I don't love anyone in the world but him.He doesn't notice that he treats Margot different from me. You can tell that Anne wants her dad to treat her just like she would to Margot.

Holocaust Blog

I believe that there are many reasons to why many people were bystanders at the time of the holocaust. Majority of the people figured that if it had nothing to do with them then why bother to get in to something thats not affecting them. Many people were terrified of Hitler and Nazis so they decided not to intrude. I feel like many other  people didn't stand up because they felt like if someone does it with me then i'll do it. Honestly I would've been a by-stander because how would I know that other people would stand up and do the same for me and many other people like me.? What if I do decide to stand up and nothing happens? Nothing changed and everything is the same. I would risk my life for nothing. I found it shocking how Schindler saved so many Jews. Schindler was a business man and convinced the Nazis that if they were to take the Jews from his cookware factory that he would fail. After time of him bribing the Nazis for the Jews to stay he finally convinced him. Schindler saved so many lives and he saved in in a clever way.
