Sophie Schoholl Thesis

The Holocaust, one of the worst genocides in history, a time that every person should know and understand, the mass murder of Jews over 5 years of pain and suffering. The best way to teach this in my opinion is with the Elie Wiesel interview Death Camp Auschwitz and to show it when middle schoolers are young, but old enough to have an idea of what happened from 1939 to 1945, but the middle schoolers can't watch this without losing important information not given in the video. So there is a reason why the middle schoolers should see this over reading books and online stories, and how they will keep wanting to listen to what else is missing from the picture. But there will be some forms of information lost when the middle schoolers watch this over the books and such. So what gives this interview video an advantage over books.

The book “Sophie Scholl and the White Rose” by Annette Dumbach is a book about resistance, Nazism and the path to freedom under Hitler’s rein. In this story the main characters Sophie and Hans Scholl play a part in the path towards resistance during Hitler’s power.

I was truly devastated by the stories that both Henry and Henia Bryer presented. I am able to gain appreciation for the things that appear insignificant in my life. As I picture myself in the shoes of Henry and Henia, I gain a sense of hatred towards the Germans. The images of the pile of naked, bony, and dead bodies within both videos truly impacted me. As I observed these images, I saw a glimpse of the horrendous life that the Jews had while living in the concentration camps.

Elie Wiesel shows a lot of courage going back to the place that brought him so much pain. I was really surprised Wiesel would go back to all the bad memories. I do not know him but those memories probably made him the person he was. At Auschwitz was where his mother, father, and sisters all died so he must be reminded of the lose of his family. I am quite glad that this video was made because I did learn a lot. I never knew there was a prison inside a prison where they kept all the political Jews and the Nazis also tortured the political Jews there. I thought it was nice they put flowers outside of the building. I also never knew that the Nazis kept a lot of the articles of clothings they would take from the Jews before they killed them or

this video has impacted me and what I will take away from this video. Also, what will be

The Holocaust in the eyes of historians all across the country reiterate the importance of the Holocaust. As the first mass genocide so major in a group of people, it’s relevance continues to make a stand. Taking place in 1933 all the way until 1945, the Holocaust changed so much in so little time. Amass, 5-6 million jewish people dying from either being worked to death for taken to gas chambers and killed quietly. Though nothing about the Holocaust was quiet, as it’s name and hitler's wishes were spread across germany in its time of need. An event short enough to be considered just a blip, tacts itself up as one the largest genocides in history. It begs the question among educators and parents alike, whether schools should be teaching the Holocaust. But, the Holocaust is something that cannot be left untaught. The Holocaust should be vocalized to students because they have a right to an education and because it boosts their understanding of society and forms them into better civilians. Also because the side effects of bias in classrooms

The Glass Castle, a memoir by Jeannette Walls, tells the story of Jeannette's upbringing and her road to adulthood. Jeannette, and her siblings, were raised by dysfunctional, poor, and sometimes homeless parents, Rose Mary and Rex Walls. The Walls children were pretty much abandoned by their parents and in some cases they were forced into making their own money, or stealing food just so they would not starve. Rose Mary and Rex Walls allowed the children to do anything they wanted, whenever they wanted to do it, but that did not stop Jeannette from being successful. She recognized that she did not want to live her life the same way her parents have lived their lives. In The Glass Castle Jeannette Walls believes that sometimes people are actually

Nancy Forner is a great author on immigrations and the issues that surround it. She states that immigration was one of the predicaments that covered the New York City in the early 20th Century. This immigration saw the influx of population that altered the lives of the residents as the immigration was not planned for (Foner, p1). They disrupted the social economic and environmental aspects of the city including the introduction of new cultures, new methods of cooking to Ney York City. These impacts are evident today as there are still descendants of the Europeans, Italians and Chinese in the New York City. Currently, there is a new wave of immigrants from people of colour moving to the New York City. There exists a significant difference on

After reading the essay written by Jesus Villahermosa I believe his thesis statement is “Given my extensive experience dealing with violence in the workplace and at schools and colleges, I do not think professors and administrators, let alone students, should carry guns”. In his second paragraph, he lays out reason as to why he feels this way and shows that he can be considered an expert in firearm safety. Giving information into his background reinforces his position and add to his argument against arming people on college campuses. Some may be surprised that he is against having armed professors and students on campus because of his background. However, I am not surprised that he is strongly against having firearm toting professors, administrators and students throughout campuses. He is properly trained, experienced with firearm safety and marksmanship which in turn gives him great support to his argument.

As well, a woman’s place in the government was significantly different to a man’s. Geraldine Ferraro says, “For all that my female colleagues and I had achieved, we still had to more, work harder, and produce more to be judged the same as men” (Ferraro 57). She also says, “So much had changed…I arrived in Congress…I had joined the Congress Women's Caucus. But there were far to women in the House and Senate-only eleven Democrats and six Republicans to sway 435 votes” (Ferraro 41). Her evidence supporting the gender positions is evidenced by the ratio of men to women serving jobs in the government. She even goes on to acknowledge that if a woman works harder and is more efficient compared to the quality of a man’s work, at the end of the day

On April 17th, I attended an Honors College thesis presentation by Barbara Armeta, an American Studies major here at UMass Lowell. Throughout her presentation, she explains the research she did on a ranch owned by her family and the history of the land. Armeta started her presentation by going all the way back through her family line to the end of the Spanish - American war. She introduced Electa Ousley, who was one of the first women in Gilroy, CA to be granted the right to claim her own land. Ousley and her husband were one of the early pioneers in Santa Clara County who made the wagon train journey during the Gold Rush.

• I must say I never saw something that was put together so flawlessly. Seeing that most people are attracted to the holocaust for some odd reason, I am sure I am not the only one who was on the edge of my seat every second of the video.

Susan Glaspell's Trifles explores the classical male stereotype of women by declaring that women frequently worry about matters of little, or no importance. This stereotype makes the assumption that only males are concerned with important issues, issues that females would never discuss or confront. The characters spend the entirety of the play searching for clues to solve a murder case. Ironically, the female characters, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale, uncover crucial evidence and solve the murder case, not the male characters. The men in the play, the Sheriff, County Attorney, and Hale, search the scene of the crime for evidence on their own, and mock the women's discussions. The women's interest in the quilt,
