1st quarter reflection blog



 The fist quarter is already gone with the second one to come with more learning and achievements. During the first quarter I think that I improved the most in writing, in the fashion of making sentences more readable with the lesson that we did last week about putting the action before the noun and it makes everything sound and flow better together.

 Some thing that I think that I need to improve on for second quarter is revising because I usually get grammar mistakes in my blogs because I do not read over them carefully enough and then I don't get as good as a grade for them that I would have if I  fixed all of those mistakes. Another thing that I think that I need to work on is studying more for the tests because I usually don't study long enough and don't get the best grade I can get, but I know that I will fix that in second quarter.

    In the forty book challenge I am only on my seventh book when I should probably be on my tenth book  because of the  forty book challenge and then we have four quarters. For next quarter I aim to get to my twentieth book read because I am three books behind where I should be for first quarter. This quarter has shown me a lot because I know that I have to work harder next quarter.

Michael Hoover Blog "The Nazi Hunters"

Michael Hoover
Book: "The Nazi Hunters"
Author: Neal Bascomb
Prompt: List three questions down that you have about anything in the book and explain your reasoning.


 The first question that I have about the book "The Nazi Hunters" written by Neal Bascomb the question that I was wondering is were are the rest of the characters because I am already on page twenty and there has only been one character that has been introduced and his name is Zeeve Sapir. The reason that I was wondering this is because in a lot of the other books that I have read the main characters usually gets introduced in the first five pages. I think that they are kind of explaining what happened to each of them in the span of a few chapters in stead of them meeting and all having their stories at once.


  Another question that I was wondering about the book "The Nazi Hunters" was why did Zeeve Sapir not try to run away when he got the chance because he could have, run in the forest to hide or go home. The reason that I asked this question was because he got the chance for sure at least once in the book maybe even more and he did not take that chance. I think that the reason that he did not take the chance was because he was afraid of being caught and killed or tortured, maybe he was just to weak to run because they barley got any food in these concentration camps and the food that they did get were usually old frozen and raw potatoes.

The third and last question that I had about the book was why did they not try to fight against the nazis they knew that they were going to die some time or another so why did they not just fight. The reason that I was thinking about this was because there were more Jews then there were nazis in the concentration camp. I think that maybe one of the reasons that they did not fight back was because they were afraid that everybody else had no courage to fight back because they might feel like God might hate them. 

Life lines from mawi

Life Lines from Mawi Michael Hoover Poem

Turn and look at your friends 

They are your true family 

When you live in exile 

You have survived many dangers 

Famines,diseases,war homesickness and more 

Who knows what your future will bring

For even the worst memories 

You have they are still yours 

Tewolde never talked to management 

He never graduated high school 

A drunk driver killed him 

People always mistreated Angels

My father said because 

They were disguised 

This angel did not have much 

In fact it looked like 

He had absolutely nothing

Know everyone as an angel 

Not a beetle
