english

I think Elies message is to live your life to the fullest and to never forget the holocaust and that humans are capable of inhuman acts.
I think that he would tell me how people are capable of things you would never have thought were possible. Also he would ask me if i thought it was real (everything hes been through)
 no mater how tough life gets just keep going.
live life to the fullest because you never know what will happen next.
many possessions can be removed from us but relationships are lasting
even if you dont like the person treat them with respect
we can learn from historical events such as the holocaust
value the simple things in life
we never really know how strong we are, until we are put in a situation where we have to be strong
dont hate, its's ok to dislike hate leads to things everyone is going to regret
hate brings more hate
never complain about your life. someone is always has it worse than you.
through tough times you rely on relationships to get you through
those who only to the past and the present will certainly miss the future
never give up on life because life never gives up on you

what would you do

yes he should be killed because if you kill him you save others.

either way if the baby is killed, the mother will want to die with the child or she will be really depressed and not want to live. if you kill both of them it kind of saves time.

I think that he should because his son is to weak to go on either way the son will die but he has a chance to live.

Fire lady

I think that the fire symbolizes the holocaust, sacrifice by fire, and I think she is looking into the future. People will be burnt to death and I think that was what she was seeing what will happen in those places in the near future. I also think that she is another example like Moshe the Beatle they both see things but nobody believes them and both of them are signs of God telling them what is about to happen.

9 Sentence Paragraph the Lottery

In Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" irony is illustrated through the community event of the Lottery. Initially the reader begins to assume that the lottery is an event where something is won, but as the story progresses, one realizes that the lotter is  a death sentence.
In the first paragraph the author describes everything happy and it says it was sunny and that flowers were blooming and it illustrates new light.
"The lottery was conducted--as were the square dances, the teen club, the halloween dance"
"Then the children start gathering rocks,""The black box""Mr. Grave"
These things foretell that this is not a normal lottery and there will be something bad that will happen.

Claim:  The society Harrison Bergeron lives in is not at all equal.
Quote: Handicapper General, woman named Dian Moon Glampers.
Commentary: The society of Harrison Bergeron is not equal because she is a General. A general usually has more power over others therefore it is not equal because she has more power over the people and she gets to give people handicaps according to their intelligence and talents.
