Reflection Journal Pages 77-84

As I read the book NIGHT, things came to mind, I thought to myself a young man with heart fighting for his life. A boy who doesn't know if he will survive or if he will be killed. Elie has been work at the camp being beaten, tortured and ect, but this young man still fights throw it. In pages 77-84 Elie, foot was infected. He could not walk or do anything, but he was sent to the infirmary for medical attention. When he got there, there was hop yet for him. He was being treated by a Jewish doctor, a doctor that he trusted. Elie felt safe with the doctor, he was happy it was no one else. A part in the book that brother me is when Elie talk about "They put me in a bed with white sheets. I had forgotten that people slept in sheets." That part brother me because, I have heard many stores from my brother and other family members that life was hard for them growing up. They where telling me how they did not all ways have a happy and successful life. My brother told me how on of his friends was homeless and need some where to stay, so my mom let him stay with them. He was happy he got to sleep in a bed, he told my brother, "man I haven't slept in a bed this good in for every." Me know that Elie, survived the Holocaust makes me think how much more he appreciate the thing he have and life.

My weekend homework

My weekend was great, Julian, Zavier and I went to the Izod Center, we went to see the Nets vs Magic game. When we first got there we went to the vip-section to eat. In the food section we had hotdogs, chicken, rice, cake and drinks. After we were done eating we went to our seats to see the tipoff. The magic won the tip off and we were happy they got it. The magic where destroying the Nets. At half-time we went back to the food section and at more. I had 5 hot dogs Zavier had 3 hotdogs and julian had 6. Then when half-time was over the game stated up. VC(Vince Carter) was destroying the Nets players, he had 20 points and 6 asisst. After the game my brother drove Julian and Zavier home.

The next day we went and played basketball at rudyk. We played people that was there we lost every game because of Zavier, because he sucked. I was mad at him, I wanted to beat him up so bad lol but, we had a lot of fun. Then the next day i stayed in the house just cooling and hanging out.

SUPER POWER CLASS WORK

If I could have super powers I would chose to bring people back to life . Having super power would change how life works. I know having super powers could be one of the best things that have every happened to anyone. My dad passed away in 2001, I was only 6years old. To have super powers to bring him back would be the best thing that has every happened to me but, would life still be the same, how would things change? I wounder would I still have the things I got now, done the things I have done. Me knowing his in a better place just hurts to me because I know I can never see him again. As i get older I feel I'm starting to forget him and that hurts my heart. When I was told my dad past away I did not understand. I had told myself i would just bring him back when i see him. When I did see him laying there I just came out in tears. I ask why god why but never got an answer. I felt he took the thing that met the most to me. I wish I could just see him one more time. I will allways love him even when I'm deceased.
