Poem Questions



What does this poem mean to you?

I think this poem means that this person Sonia shared a bond with was gone at the end because he was to die. Now, Sonia has lost a person she really shared something with and it is obvious that he is alive because he has been gone for many years.

What questions does it raise for you?

I think this poem means that even though people can be different from their religion or skin color, they can always have some sort of bond which will make them be friends. I think that this poem is also saying that friendship can last forever, even if the person is with you or without you, dead or alive.

I agree

I agree that victims have either no options or limited options. I believe because I have been a victim myself and I never have any options than ignoring it. The other reason I agree is because I dont think that you can do anthing about something than avoiding it and if it becomes worse then I believe that you have limited options. If it for example is a bully that is bullying you until you have had enough, you don't have so many options because if you tell a teacher or parent or someone else, after they have talked to him/her, they might bring many people and beat you up really badly. I believe this because some of these things have happened to me before and I told a teacher and it got worse. That is why I agree that victims either have no options or just a few.

The Eternal Jew

This was created in 1933 by David Pinsk. The Eternal Jew is a poster and a book. The Nazis were the people sending this message. This picture means that all jews are ugly and horrifying. The creator is probably a part of the Nazi party and he is trying to tell that you dont want to be like this man. I think all the men and women would be proud of themselves for being German and that they are following Hitler and not being the Jew.

Treaty Of Versailles Question

Was the Treaty of Versailles- fair or unfair? Justify.

I think the Treaty of Versailles is fair because the winners of the war should get the most and the loser should get the least. Germany had done a lot of bad things.The started the war. If there is someone to blame for being cruel to the world for a period, it is Germany. I think they deserved to give away land they earlier had conquered, back to the countries. Countries like Britian and France were attacked by Germany and were actually trying to stop the war instead of fighting it.
If we look at paragraph 159, I think it is fair that the German forces are reduced to 100,000 men because that way they will not have the military force to start the war again. Paragraph 181 and 198 is about the same , making the German forces so weak that they will not be agressive again.
In paragraph 233, Germany must pay back for all the damage and loss of a the civilians. I think this is fair because they were the people who attack random civilians and so they should pay for the damage they made. This goes for all of us in our daily life, if we cause damage to someone, we make up for our mistake.
In paragraph 431, where it says that allied forces will occupy Germany until Germany has fulfilled the treaty, I think it is fair because if there is no military power to scare the Germans, they might not do as agreed in treaty.

My Profile K

In class Mr.Whiting came into class to make us learn a little bit about ourselves. I was profile "K." I am not logic, I am gasalt which means I don't do read instructions. For example: If I get a phone for my birthday I just opened the package and start using it. I also have problems with listening. If I am under I cannot do anything at all. I sometimes have to translate my math homework into my language (Norwegian) to understand what a the thing means.

Me In Three



In my life I have a lot of things that explain me, but three things describe me the best. These are my fishing rod, my tennis racket and my ocarina. They all are different things and they also describe my differently. I am an active person and a musical person.

The first thing I would like to introduce to you is my fishing rod. It is about a meter and a half and it’s fully black colored. I got it from my dad and he was the one who encouraged me to fish. The first day he taught me practice throwing in a small pond right outside our backyard. After some frustration and confusion, I got it right and I was off to real fishing. There are two things I hate the most about fishing. Its when the fishing line gets jammed, and when the hook is in my finger. Fishing was almost the only thing I did over the summer because it was so fun to fish. It is very exciting when suddenly a fish is hooked, then the rod bends and the line vibrates. Then I suddenly get become focused and try my best to get the fish. When I see the fish coming out of the water, I g

ted. One night, my friend and I spent three hours catching 13 mackerels outside our home. I was very proud of both of us. Later that summer, in our cabin, my grandma and I caught one cod each. That was cool. It was also very fun when I caught a 50cm long mackerel and then took a picture with it. Even so, fishing was fun and it was a great summer.


The second thing I love the most is my tennis racket because I play tennis more than anything else. I am very interested
in watching Federer play and I like learning from him on TV. I enjoy playing tennis, but I have no interest in becoming a pro. My goal is to be able to beat my family and peers. I am still working my way there, but the goal will be
conmplete. At first I just started to play a little, then I became crazy about
it. I worked really hard throughout last year reaching a higher level in tennis
. After a while I had improved so much that my tennis
coach told me to get a better racket, and because now I was ready for one. I bought this racket from him and it was so cool! It is called Babolat Pure Drive and it’s black, white and blue. Nadal has also used this
racket for a match against Soderling, so its a good one. Since I bought it, I became the special guy in tennis class and I carried it around all the time. I was so happy to get it that I thought it was a gift from heaven.

The last thing I want to share with you is my ocarina. It is an blowing instrument made of clay. Blowing into the mout

hpiece gives a soft sound almost like a pan flute and this sound really makes me relaxed and happy. I have many different instruments because I really like playing music. I was even in band for two years at ISKL. This ocarina is now my favorite instrument. It was bought in Melbourne, Australia this summer. I was at a handicraft market and I was really bored. Suddenly, my dad touched shoulder and told me they had ocarinas there. I was so happy because I had searched everywhere on the Internet to find one. And there it was, the perfect one. It was brown and had four holes in it. I bought it and it was in my hand. It was better than best. I never thought I would ever see one. It came with a leather strap so I could hang it around my neck. I started playing right away. I am really into this videogame called
Zelda and I think the music there is so beautiful because it is played on the ocarina.


So these are the three most important items to describe me. It shows what I really do during my free time and they all represent me. I really enjoy getting to own these wonderful things. They are always going to be memories glued into my head, and I would never replace them.
