Question Respond

My blog post were I express what is going on my mind. Is were I get to free write about what ever I want to. I like the fact that no one tells me what I have to write about, I just let my mind flow free and basically wonder around. When I get my ideas for my blog it is easier to choice what I am going to write about because is not an assignment given to me, is where I just let my mind wonder off.
One of the question is asking me how is writing blog different from regular formal writing. It is different in many ways. One would be what I had said earlier that I feel like I could write about anything I want with out someone telling me no you cannot do that. For example since football season is on I usually watch the games on Sunday and Monday night. It is different from what I would usually be ask to write at school because regular assignments are formal essays. I am giving a specific topic to write about, I feel like I cannot express my self as much. For example in school I am writing an essay about my diet, I am not trying to say that I do not care about my health and my body weight, but it is not going to change the way I eat. I am still going to eat fast food and junk food with out looking at the label on the back of the product. So as you can see at school I am tell to write about a topic that does not catch my mind. While on the other hand in my blog I am able to write about the things I like.
Another way it is different is that it does not have to be so long. What I am trying to say is that if I have something that I want to write about and I really do not have to say a lot about it is ok because the word limit for my blog is 350. Also I do not have to do no research for my blog, I do not have to go and work cite if I do not want to. While in formal writing I have to go research about the topic I am writing about and do work cited. Also I have to write way more than in a regular post. My limit for a regular formal essay is at least more that five pages. So basically I need to keep on writing about the same thing into I reach that goal. In my post I can write about something and once I ran out of saying something I can stop because 350 words is not as much as five pages. Also if I do have a lot to say a lot in one of my blog post I can pass the limit of 350 words to 500 and if I still have more to say I can divide the blog into two or more blogs so they would count for another blog.
Blog is were I feel like a free writer. I have more freedom in my blog than in a formal writing assignment. I do not have to go and do research and do a lot of extra work. Also it is not as much writing, the limit between a blog post and a regular formal writing assignment is a lot. I feel that in my blog post I get lees work, I get to chill back and write about what is in my mind or what I am interested of writing about.
Another question that I am going to write about is where do I get my blog post idea from and what inspires me to write? Well I get my ideas from what happens in the week. So as I had said earlier when I watch football I decide to write about what happened in the game and share how I feel about them. The reason why I choose to write about the football games is to inform people. Inform them about what had happened and share some of the greatest highlights of the week. Also to inform them that Raiders are the best team in the NFL. So basically I decide to write about football to inform. Like to share my opinions and the way I feel about certain teems and plays.
Another way that I decide what to write in my blog is to what I do at school. I like to write about what we read in English class. For example the book night, I thought that this book was a really good book o read so I wanted people to read it, and to do this I inform them about how great this book was. I tell them some events that happens on the book so when they read about it they could see how great of a book Night it is.
Also I choose what to write about from what I like. So what ever is on my mind I just start writing about, I just let my mind wonder. I basically write about what I like at points, but most of the time I write about events that happened in the week my blog post are needed done. I write to inform people about the events that happened in the week, and to all the football fans in A.S.T.I.
One of my goals that I have for this semester that I have is to start writing more formal. I want to still be able to write about what ever u want but I need to spent more time on it. I need to take it more serious, not just do it because it is homework. Another goal is to start writing more, I usually just reach for 350 words since that is what I need to reach. Now I am trying to make my goal 500 words. I need to set my goal higher.

Night Essay

Throughout the book Night, Elie Wiesel struggles against himself in his relationship with his father. Although he sees his father as an obstacle towards getting to his survival, love and care overcomes it.

When Elie is on his way to the concentration camp, he starts to realize how much his father means to him. He does not count on losing him or leaving his side. He started to be as close as he could with his father to make sure he does not leave his side, “My father’s presence was the only thing that stopped me… He was running at my side, out of breath, at the end of his strength, at his wit’s end. I had no right to let myself die. What would he do without me? I was his only support,” (82). Elie realizes that without him by his side, there would be no one to care for or protect his father. The question he asks himself is “What would he do without me? I was his only support”. Leaving his father without anyone to be there for him will result in no major support for Elie’s father. Elie realizes that there is no possible way that he could leave his father and just go on by himself. He is not that type of person and the immense amount of love that Elie has for his father is what makes him not leave his side for anything.

Towards the end of the book, Elie shows how much he was willing to do for his father. He demonstrates all of the love and respect he has for him. Elie discovers the great relationship he has with his father,

“Here, every man has to fight for he and not think of anyone else… don’t give your ration of bread and soup to your old father. There’s nothing you can do for him. And you’re killing yourself. I listened to him without interruption. He was right, I thought in the most secret region of my heart, but I dared not admit it. It’s too late to save your old father, I said to myself. You ought to behaving two rations of bread, two rations of soup… only a fraction of a second, but I felt guilty. I ran to find a little soup to give my father,” (105).

Here is where Elie truly shows how much he cares about his father. The fact that he does not care that he is killing himself and how he knows he could be having two rations of soup and bread shows that Elie would give up his life for his father. On the inside, Elie knows that in some way, the man is right about his father nearing death, but there was no way that he was going to let that happen on his part. Love for his father is what overcomes the words spoken by this man. Although Elie admits to being wrong by even thinking of doing what the man said, he does not go down that path and he knows that what he did for his father was the right thing to do. Following his heart is the best decision that Elie could have made.

Once they made their way back to the concentration camp, Elie and his father’s relationship starts to grow again. In one occasion, Elie’s father was hit. Due to this, Elie recognizes the love he still has for his father and how he always will have that love for him. He sees this event happen, but he is just stunned to think that someone just did that to his father, “I did not move. What had happened to me? My father had just been struck before my very eyes…I had look and said nothing…Had I changed so much then? So quickly? Now remorse began to gnaw at me. I thought only: I shall never forgive them for that,” (37). Elie starts to wonder how much care he has for his father. Even if he just sees his dad as a normal dad and nothing more, when he is hurt, Elie cares. The feelings that he has of protection for his dad are not so easily hidden. Though Elie thinks that he has changed and grown because of the concentration camp, it does not interfere with those strong feelings he developed for his father. In the end, “I shall never forgive them for that,” (37), a show that whoever does anything bad to his father affects him and for that reason, Elie is not able to forgive that person. Even if the concentration camp has been keeping Elie and his father down, they are still able to continue with the strong relationship they had built.

The concentration camp is what helps strengthen the relationship between Elie and his father. The concentration camp is all about survival and the belief that every man for themselves, but the love and care that Elie feels for his father overcomes those thoughts of abandoning him. In conclusion, the relationship between Elie and his father grows throughout the time they spend together imprisoned in the concentration camp.

Night Reflection

So far, Night has been very deep. The book is very sad and it has moments that I am just shocked of what went down in the Holocaust. In the beginning, the book starts out with not such a sad tone, but then when we started to read the rest of the chapters, they began to start getting sad. At first, the book makes it seem as if nothing bad will happen and that the people only had to move because of the war. After, the book showed how they were actually going to torture or kill the Jews instead. The part that was really sad was when they were burning the babies in the cremator and also just the fact that they were sending the people to the camps.
When it comes to the religion part of Elie, I think he is beginning to forget the reason for why he even believes in God. In the second chapter, they ask Elie what was the reason for why he prays. He did not know how to answer this question so he just told the man, “I don’t know why.” This shows that he prays but he doesn’t even know why he does it. He thought that it was a dumb question to ask and that it was an obvious answer. Even though it was a simple question, Elie still did not know what he was supposed to say. He does not really understand himself when it comes to the fact of his religion and how he is part of that. I predict that Elie will lose all of the faith he had in God.
The people who are in the concentration camp turn to religion, faith and God. They all think they will break out of that place soon if they just believe that God will make it happen. They are kind of just passing by through the day knowing that God will finish it all. It is sad because you can tell that in the end, the ones who thought they were going to survive will eventually die.
My predictions for the rest of the book is that Elie will eventually have to either fight back or break away from the concentration camp that he is stuck in with the rest of the Jews.

vanessaHe kept wondering why would he let all this happened to them. I and is true if they day god is all about protecting a person why would he let such thing happened to someone. He should had prevent this from happening, I believe that no person deserves what is happening to them to happened to them.

I would like to write about this quote because it reminds me of what we were talking about in the class. Our discussion was about how if god is all about bringing the best to people why would he let such thing happened. Why would he aloud people to be treated like this. This questions really made our class think, it made us winder about if there really is a god or not. I think that if we would had gotten more time talk about this subject we would had gone on and on because is a really interesting topic to discuss about. I like how people were not afraid to share out there thoughts about whether god is real or not.

This questions made me wonder if there is really a god. Is not that I have anything about god because I do not want to offend no one with my thoughts. Because it is true why would god let this happened. I understand why some people may say that everything happened for a reason but this. This should never ever be aloud to happened. The fact that people were not just mistreated but burn to death make it really wrong for this to happened.

So as you can see this is why I am questioning about whether god is real or not. Because what the Jews went true was not wrong it was beyond wrong. If I was god I would not let this happened, if I had the power that he had I would had not let the Jews suffer like this.

Also I really like the conversation that we were having in our class because even though some people may believe in god they did not get offended while we were having this conversation.
