The first reason why I want to participate in NSLI-Y is because I will expand on my language ability. I am currently taking Mandarin Chinese at school, and I have been learning numerous amounts of new words and phrases in class. However, I believe that stepping foot into the country can help me learn more than what I learn in my class. When going to the actual country, I can pick up on tone and fluency more easily, as well as learn modern slang terms and writing. The second reason for participating would be to bond with students. Living in Iowa my whole life, I have not witnessed as much diversity as individuals from certain other states. I become enthusiastic when new exchange students enroll in the school I attend. The students always seem

I haven’t spoken to anybody so when i was gathering the items I asked some people if they knew when the guards weren’t there as much. But they didn’t have an answer, except for one guy his name was Abraham but he wouldn’t tell me unless I let him in on the plan which was very risky because if he snitched I’d be executed but i had to take a shot. When we went to bed that night I stayed up preparing myself for what all is about to happen. I woke up Abraham and we started to sneak out of the house when a kapo came up from behind us and started to interrogate us about what we were doing, We had to think fast and Abraham grabbed him up and took him out, I was shocked that was the first up close death I had actually faced but there was no way I could turn back now we went out and towards the side where only one guard would be until the fence. We darted towards the side when Abraham jumped on me and threw me onto the ground and pointed toward the fence where 3 guards and a dog

Writing has many tools and devices that can be used to influence the purpose and meaning of the a piece of work. In the two pieces of work, "Private License Plate Scanners Amassing Vast Databases Open to Highest Bidders-which is written in a way that it is anti-license plate tracking- and "Who Has the Right to Track You?'-which is written to be for license plate tracking- many different tools and devices are used by the authors. These pieces of work describe the benefits and drawbacks of collecting data and tracking fellow citizens, but use different forms of pathos, ethos, and logos to portray what they are trying to say. Also, both articles state how many are opposed to this tracking, arguing that it is against the First Amendment,

Concentration camps were filled with many people, and many that weren’t Jews. Concentration camps were meant to kill them by work or were to reform them. These camps were a terrible place to be because of the living conditions, the beatings, and the diseases that spread.

Therapeutic sessions assist in enhancing the member’s individual’s thoughts as well as those they are building relationships with.

1. As it is quite obvious in the story, the narrator does not think that these men and women deserve to die. This is abundant when in the very last line of the story the narrator states, “when will it be light?”

The SS officers would put everyone through selection and only the grown and strong would survive. Truckloads of children “Babies! Yes...children thrown into the pit of flames”(Wiesel 32) and grown men hung for all to see, their bodies waving in the wind like a flag. For those who did survive selection, they lost their names and were tattooed with their new titles “‘A-7713?’ ‘That’s me.’”(Wiesel 51) The Jews were consistently treated like animals by the Nazi’s and if that was not enough, they were also told how worthless they were.

All contact outside of the camp was forbidden. So, no one could talk to any friends or family outside of the camps. Starving was another way the Nazis killed the prisoners. The prisoners had the most revolting food. Some of the food they got was rotten. For breakfast they got 10 oz. of plain bread, a piece of salami, and a cup of bland coffee. For lunch the prisoners got plain soup with carrots. For supper they got 10 oz. of bread, rotten salami, or rotten cheese. Starvation was the second cause of death, some prisoners would wake up finding the people on their bunk dead.

When the Jewish first arrived to the camp, (tired, dirty, hungry, and thirsty from the train ride), they were immediately split into two separate groups men on one side and women and children on the other. After they were brutally separated from their families all of their personal belongings were taken away, and they were tested to see who could work and who was at this point, too weak. The weak workers were either shot or put into a gas chamber, while the strong workers moved on in the process. After tested for strength and endurance their heads were shaved (both men and women) and they got a number tattooed on there arm, to show what number prisoner they were. When that was over they6 were sent to the barracks, these were wooden or brick shacks full of 3 tiered bunks meant to comfortably hold 100-200 people. However there was an average of 700-800 people per barrack, or even more. The Jewish were fed 3 times a day, but it was a thin soup made of water and vegetable scraps (rotten bits, ends of vegetables, skins etc.) and bread made out of sawdust. Also the “prisoners” were forced to do grueling work such as carrying heavy bricks up a mountain or even collecting the dead bodies of their fellow religion, if they failed to do this work correctly or efficiently they would be beaten, shot, or gassed. By the end of the Holocaust, over 6 million Jewish people and 5 million

I sprang up ran outside only to see everyone standing around at the bottom of the tower smoking and talking; it was just a test fire. Later that day we received a brief from the platoon that we were replacing about how things in the area had been going, and how much contact they had been taking lately. I turned to one of the privates from the unit we were replacing and asked him, “How much contact have you guys been taking lately?” He looked at me and smiled as he walked off. Our brief included a tour of the COP and all of the watch towers that we had to man at all times during the day as well as dismounted patrols through the neighboring ridgelines and villages. As the day drew to an end, I saw the guys we were replacing start to put on their plate carriers and grab their weapons to go sit near the towers. I was confused, so I asked, “Are you guys heading out now?” One of the team leaders looked at me and explained how they had been taking contact every day for the past few months at sundown. As soon as he told me I ran to go grab my plate carrier and go wait near the mortar pit with my rifle. As the sun began to set back behind the ridgeline that faced us, there was an eerily calming breeze that filled the air. For a moment I almost began to think Afghanistan would be a nice place for camping up in the mountains with your family. My short mental vacation was abruptly ended by the sound of automatic machine gun fire followed by the north tower yelling, “Contact!” before unloading into a mountainside across from him with the M2 .50 Caliber machine gun that was mounted on a tripod. My mind was overwhelmed with different reactions and feelings all at once. I was scared, pissed off, excited, and confused all at the same time. I started to panic for a second until I took a deep breath and remembered what I has been trained to do. I ran to the mortar pit and
