Prisoner B-3087 Book Report

Andersonville Prison epitomized the ultimate crime against humanity. The atrocities that transpired in this confederate prison sparked reaction and outrage at the conclusion of the Civil War.

During this week I read Prisoner B-3087 By Alan Gratz, Yanek was moved around to handful of concentration camps. Yanek was moved a camp called Birkenau. Right when the Jews arrived at the camp they were ordered to take their clothes off. They had been put in a room with sprinklers on the ceiling. Yanek was thinking to himself this is going to be the end, I’m going to die. Then the sprinkles turned on and ice cold water came out. In the text I read, “ I was going to live! I laughed I cried, and so did the other men.” This made me realize how thankful Yanek was. I can relate to this because I have been thankful, last year my great grandma had a stroke, Half her brain ended up dying and she was paralysed. After I found out she pasted away I was

Over 60 million people were killed in the Holocaust. That was about 3% of the world population in 1940. The stories Night by Elie Wiesel and Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz tell what young boys, lives were like during this terrible time and the ways their lives changed. The two novels share many attributes, including the type of the main character, the sort of events, and themes. Despite such similarities, the boys cope with their living nightmares in contrasting ways.

I give the book Michael Vey 1 The Prisoner of Cell 25 5 out of 5 stars because it is action filled, the main character goes through many different emotions, and because it has many unexpected turns.

What inspired the author to write a book about such a crazy thing? My book is called “ Hideout” by Watt Key. This book was published on January 10, 2017. It was published by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux (BYR). It also has 320 riveting pages that won't let you put the book down! This is my absolute favorite book ever and is full of mystery and edge.

Indefinite detention is an extremely controversial issue consisting of valid arguments on both sides of the debate; however, Queensland’s Dangerous Prisoners (Sex Offenders) Act 2003, including the amendment made to it in 2009 and part 10 of the Penalties and Sentences act 1992 (Qld) all provide a desirable outcome. These laws are scrutinized by many but evidently all contribute to the equitable way that this system functions. Although on the face of it, indefinitely detaining a prisoner may be perceived by some as infringing the fundamental rules of law, in reality extensive measures are taken through the legislative processes of these laws to ensure that a just decision is made in respects to the continuation of a detention order. By doing

Day by day the Nazi’s would come and take people off the streets and they would disappear and never return. Adolf Hitler had been in power and declared that Europe would be Jew free. From this point on, Yanek and the rest of the Jewish population in Europe had been hiding, in fear of the Nazi’s.

The rumors were the people taken were killed or went to the camps but you didn’t know for sure until you were on the truck. Yanek was soon taken away to a concentration camp shortly after his parents were trucked away. After Yanek was trucked away he stopped at multiple concentration camps where people were killed daily. He could see in plain sight around 30 dead. There were additional rumors even more people were made into soap for the Nazis. At approximately age 14, Yanek finished his first concentration camp. He was then moved to Auschwitz, the most well known camp. Yanek met lots of people at the camp despite his uncle telling him not talk to anyone because it could get you killed, Yanek made friends but soon after he made friends Yanek would watch them be killed. After he had been in concentration camps for years and he could hear guns and bombs in the distance and growing closer every day. When he was at his tenth camp, Yanek was barely alive. He wondered if he could survive additional years in the Nazi camps. He questioned whether he might be shot or turned into soap for

Dr. martin Luther king writes a letter addressing his concerns on racism and civil rights in Birmingham jail. He sends it to multiple clergymen who had criticized his peaceful actions. The King emphasizes his dedication to non-violent protests and to not retaliate violently, if met with police resistance. The King addresses the difference between just and unjust laws.

Prisoner without a Name, Cell without a number is a melancholy novel that expresses Argentina’s terrorist state. Jacob Timerman, a well respected man of Argentina, an editor of a well know Argentinian paper, La Opinion, tells the audience his story of the terrorist state of Argentina from 1967-1978. His gripping novel both describes his personal experience being kidnapped by terrorist, while he tells us about the condition of the terrorist state of Argentina. His book is important because it tells a first hand account of the fear, the distrust, and the mere insanity of conditions in the country of Argentina during its darkest time.

When I read, I prefer to read books with a lot of surprising events occurring that will keep me interested. For the most part, this book did. In this book, The Dentist of Auschwitz, a man by the name of Bronek Jakubowicz, who was also the author, tells how he lived through and survived the holocaust. He faces things no human should have to go through. He witnessed only abuse and death for around 5 years.

In this essay I will be looking at ways in which Lomax conveys how he
