What did Schmahling mean when he said that in crushing the boy in his classroom, he was destroying something in himself? What was he destroying? How was it like what the Nazis were destroying in the people they ruled?

What was he destroying? Schmahling was destroying was the moment of sunlight in the little boys life. That means he was destroying the good in the boy and the good things that will happen to him in the future .Also he was having a good day intill the teacher told him to sit down then the boy lost his happy day thought.

What did Schmahling mean when he said that in crushing the boy in his classroom, he was destroying something in himself?

When the teacher yelled at the little boy she crushed the spriet of the boy of letting out his feelings and opinions and that made the boy stop talking in class. Also the teacher hurt himself by tell off the boy and when he did that the boy stopped talking and giving his thoughts and the teacher vowed that he would never yell at anybody again. Also when he yelled at he boy he destroyed the spriet and the sunlight meaning the good thoughts in the boys mind were gone when the teacher yelled at the boy in class. That is why the teacher vowed to himself that he would never yell at anybody because he hated yelling at the boy and taking away the boys happy thoughts.

How was it like what the Nazis were destroying in the people they ruled?

They would take away their jobs and when they have no jobs they don't have no money and when they have no money they will go hungry and probably die. Also if they do live some were they will lose their homes because they have no money to pay the rent. So when they are poor and have no where to go the Nazis will bring them to the consternated camp to work. When they are healthy they will be put to labor( hard work). But when they are sick( handy cap and sick) they will shoot them or gas them.

In memory to my mother

The poem I chose was "In memory to my mother". I just took some important parts about the poem that was about he mother. For an example on the top of the poem it saids Where is your grave? Where did you dit? why did you go away? why did you leave your little girl that rainy autumn day?. I though that was when Sonia Weitz was asking her these questions about her mother and what happend to her. Also she was giving a description about what colour her mother's eyes were, their was a little mood their when it said " So mild". I thought that was a mood to me. Also their were some smilies in their too for an example " Face was white and silent like a stone". Their was a lot of moods I thought I saw in the poem and not so much smilies in their but I thought those were my important annotations I found in the poem and thought it was important. In some of the parts of the poem I thought it was sad but all of the poem was very sad and a little happy because the sad part was when Sonia Weitz was a little girl during the Holocaust she had to leave her mom and when her family past away she had wrote a poem and this is the blog I am doing about her poem. Also the sad thing was that when she was little she did not get to see her mom no more and back then she had to travel alone in a box cars. That is what they called it back then when they did not have no chairs to sit in. Also they were put in a concentrated campe. When she saw he mother die she was suffering though the pain. But the happy part about he poem was that it was good that she remembers a lot about her mother and ever little detail. Also she was happy that her sister and her self lived though the Holocaust and she gets to tell us all about what she lived though and what she had to see and what she had to suffer. So this poem it happy and sad but I thought it was a good poem and I am glad that I chose it and it cough me one when she was remember her mother and she lived so she could tell every one what she lived though and she was still alive that she could right a poem about her mother so she could remember her always. So that was a good poem to read and I was happy to read it and see and read with my own eyes what she had to live though.

Tatyana Germany 1918-1933

Consider the first stage of our unit of study on Nazi Germany. For this blog post consider the following prompt and respond:

What conditions were present that allowed Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party to take control of Germany in 1933?

This event " The Nazi party gains 33% of vote. Weimar Government decides to appoint Hitler chancellor". Germany was in chaos trying to recover their lost of world war one. The Government had no money because they were paying for all the damage they made in world war one. Hitler was in prison because he did some bad things. When Hitler was in prison he wrote "Mein Kampf". Hitler was in prison because he did bad things. Hitler came to Germany and started the Nazi party. It shows that Hitler gained higher authority he can order people around, He could speak up his ideas and no one could tell him what to say or what do, More people would know who he was.

My other event: " A worldwide depression as the markets " crash" Hitler sees this as a great opportunity". I chose this event because the markest went down and lost a lot of percent so Hitler had his chance to get more power and he would take control of Germany. With the weakness of the money and the crash of the world economy, everyone was in bad shape the Germans and the Jews. Hitler saw this chance to take control by saying "Ill make everything better, ill fix this,"
