1. For this book i think the most disturbing and sad part was when they toture Romek. By beatin him, putting a hot metal stick from the fireplace into his lefy eye and ripped out his tongue. Which i think was really hard to read but also really sad to read and hear about from David and the book.
2.He pours the coffee and serves bread i believe. He goes through the time pretty well until some other person get's his job. And the boy who took his job knew him and he ask's for extra food and coffee and he said no and other mean thins. So he didnt talk to him. A difficulty was when there was a group of little kid's get sent to the coal mine. And David goes as the translater because he's fimilar with many languages because of his mom. I think that was the best camp that he stayed in because he had 4 friend's and they stuck together. And Finci helped him get extra clothing's that David sold to get more food. And he was really smart by keeping bread before him and the other's left that camp.
3. At the last week's of the war there was no more soup and people were eating the flesh of the dead bodies. He got really weak and got Typhus like the doctor that he met. And he met Chaim who ended up being left behing because he never tell's them to come back for Chaim. And it was the hardest and walking wasn't a choice for him because he was so weak.
4. I think he thought it was all a dream at first which he did. I think he also knew he had to survive that's why he crawled to the sidewalk because he promised his mom that he would live and i think he was just so proud of him self because at times he wouldn't of made it but he got lucky. Which is good and i think that even though he really didn't say it i think he was very happy on the inside.
5. I think that it should be read by every middle and high school because it's sometihng that was tragic history and kilt alot of people. We read Martin Luther King's speech and other things that changed the world. The Holocaust happened during World War 2 and it reduce the amount of Jewish people in the world. They totured and killed people just for being different and then people who werent Jewish but stood up when they thought it was wrong were stuck as Kapo's which were people who leading the captured to many places. Some Kapo's were even killed for being so cruel and broke a rule and became one of the Priosner's and ended up dying like Kapo Potok. I think that it's necessary to read but i dont reccemend it to Elementary school's because alot of tragic things happen and they just might not understand all the content. But it's a big part of our History and even though it's kind-of disgusting but it's something that young kid's could learn from. Some people think they have it hard now but what the Nazi's did was worse. Way worse.

The purpose of this project was to learn about the renaissance and people who are famous from the renaissance. In order to learn about the renaissance we had to learn about the art from the time and the difference between renaissance and medieval. Another purpose was to learn about someone who has historically changed the world of made a difference from the renaissance. For ex.

I learned about art's from the Renaissance. And how different it is from today. I learned about rich families and people who were just plain scary like: Bloody Mary. Her name explains it all. But i explored the concept's of the Medici family since i was a member of the Medici family. I had to d a lot of research because a lot of different site's had different information. Like one site told me that Giuliano Medici was Pope Leo X ( my person's) brother when it really was his uncle. And Lorenzo De Medici ( my father ) brother. My person was born in 1475 which seems like a really long time ago. But it's only a couple hundred's years. :) I also learned that people backed then died early like mine died at the age 45. In fact 10 day's before his 46th birthday

I enjoyed this project because it was teaching us about times form the way past. And not only did we learn about the Renaissance person we were. But also about the Renaissance art's. I feel like i could have done better on this project because i could of put together some kind of costume. And other than that i think i did pretty well on this project and i don't think i did bad on the project. But next time i would probably spend more time on more useful information and not so much as the little un- important fact's that didn't need to be included .

My Digtal Portfolio actually doesnt work at all. It doesn't show, But if it did i would put a picture of the renaissance costumes. And i would have a link to this reflection.

Extra
Pages: Whole book
Time: 2 weeks [ very long ]
There is a book and i forget the name. But i think it's Love Bones. And it's about a girl who get's raped by her nieghbor. In his shed. After she get's raped he kills her. And when the police find her elbow because of a dog her Little sister throw's up. But the story is about a young girl who was 14 and dies from her neighbor. She watches over her family during the time and wishes that the neighbor was dead not her. A long time after her little sister is grown up and is expecting a child.This story was very long and sad. She meets people in heaven and talk. Some younger than her some older. In heaven there was different streets and different alley's that you lived on. It seemed all nice until she see's someone who seems mean like he doesnt belong in heaven.But this story made me cry and i think is a higher level in reading.

Romek Post #3
1. I think that it was amazing that he could share that because it was really sad and tragic. And he told 3 main part's of the story. But it made me cry because everything was so hard to take in and i really appeciate him coming and telling us because i think that his life was tragic and hard so i appeciate that he could talk about it and tell our school.
2. I think that his aprenice i would say it's kind of weird but i think that he worked for them for both their goods. But sadly it set on fire. But David Survived. I think Romek was happy about him because his brother is taking everything very well. And i think that also because he knew what he did was either way was going to get him killed and he knew that he would probably haft to see him die. That's hard to watch
3.I think because he really didnt know. And Romek most likely did. And he probably thought he wouldnt make it to the ghetto after just being thrown down stairs. And i think he also thought that either way David was going to die and was either going to be killed by starvion or shot by the Nazi's

Romek Post #2
1. The pigeon became important because his pigeon brung friends. Then one day the pigeon's didnt come and that was the day that the pigeon's didnt come so the mom sensed something was wrong. So they hid in the hollow wall Romek made, not even 30 minutes later they heard loud footsteps and the door being busted into. The Germans had came and were looking but since everyone was hiding they said: No ones here. And left which was good because maybe the family probably wouldnt be able to all get in the hideout quick enough and kept them all safe.
2.The Pustkew vacation camp is a place for catched Jews that do work and cut down tree's. I dont know if they were all Jewish. But i think they call it vacation camp's because when your on vacation you leave home. And they leave home and go somewhere but it's not a relaxing place. So im really not sure why they call it Vacation Camp's.
3. Questions :
A. What do you think made you special to survive, while other's died?
B. Do you think yoou would of rathered suffered to survived or just died like some other's?
