I made two tickets to watch the Hunger Games. To make the tickets, I looked at other tickets and used them for ideas. After I got a basic plan in my mind, I began making it on a program called, Paint. I then began outlining the shape of my ticket and then started writing rules and price of the ticket. When finished, I printed it out on a picture paper and cut around the edges.



Me and Teah both made a identity chart for Katniss Everdeen. We wrote all the facts about Katniss and added a photo of her. We printed everything, cut the words out and we pasted everything on a poster paper. We made this identity chart to explain who Katniss really is. There are just simple words that explain her family, her hobby (hunting, and we explained her personality. Katniss is a brave and strong girl and we made sure to show that.


Teah made a map of the arena for the games. The main idea of the map was to make more of a visual rather than anything you read off of. It is just a visual representation of how the arena would look like.

Luttrell Psalter post

1. What is the Luttrel Psalter? What does it portray?
2. What type of source is the Luttrell Psalter
3. Why is the Luttrell Psalter a unique document?


The Luttrell Psalter is a manuscript that shows the everyday lives of people in the Middle Ages. Its just like a diary! It's a very used source because it is being used for drawing and writing anything people would want in the Middle Ages. It shows the difference of people's lives in the Middle Ages. It shows how the high class people lived (Kings, Queens, Prince/Princesses.) It shows how the middle class people such as Priests lived and then the peasants and very low class people lived. King's ruling and trying to make sure that they are do the right things and making the right choices. And then compairing to the peasants having to work their hearts out to make sure they get all their jobs done and it's very hard on them. The Luttrell Psalter is very unique because other psalter would be made for religious purposes but the Luttrell Psalter is the real written or drawn psalters that the rich and high class people had, and the lives of the low class peasant that worked for them.

The Caption on the above poster reads "Healthy Parents Have Healthy Children". On your post please do the following:
1. Describe what you see in the picture. Consider color, placement, people and objects, and composition. Everything that you see.

I see strong parents. There a four children that look very healthy. The family look very happy. It is really a ideal photo of a family that seem wealthy. Looking at the photo makes me see the children look really mature and proper, the little boy has a tie and the girls are wearing nice dresses. They seem to be that family everyone wishes to have.

2. Interpret: Guess about the creator is trying to express through the caption and images. Why is this message being conveyed?

I think the picture represents that happy and healthy families are what germany wants to show the world that the families live. Happy and healthy familys is what germany represents to also show that nation is strong. And Germans' believed that jewish people were unhappy and unhealthy people.

Evaluate: What is the intended purpose of this image? The intended audience? Does the image achieve its purpose?

The link between healthy, happy families are probebly for people to vote that the Nazi party is the right choice and if they take away the jews, (who were supposedly unhappy, unhealthy people) then Germany will be a good place where everyone is living perfect lives.

Response to Readings: "Anger and Humiliation", "Voices in the Dark"

After reading and annotating my the apers I chose two points that I found in the rules:

- German blood as a requirement for German citizenship. No Jew can be a memeber of the nation.

I find this very unfair because people dont have a choice in what their religion or culture is. Also it's not right that a jewish family had a life and it's all gone suddenly. What if the parents both have a great job, and the children are having very good education. Then randomly they are told to end everything imediatly and go with the soldiers. And all just because they are jewish...

- No ny non-German who entered Germany after August 2, 1914, shall leave immediately.

I dont think this is fair at all because if people have to be told how to, and where to live then it's just too difficult. Plus Hitler grew up with a lot of nationalities and getting annoyed of it is nonsence. I dont know how someone can become annoyed with having too many nationalities in a country.

If you had been on the train, do you think that you would have said or done anything? Have you or someone who know ever had a similar experience?

If i was in the same position as the man on the train. I would not just sit and listen to them talk about my culture but I would get up and defend myself. I have had a lot of experience with this kind of thing. And even when people say they are just joking, it's still very rude.

Yesterday we went to the main street of Malaysia. It is the oldest main street with a bank, the old post office and etc. Every building was very pretty, decorated and with three stories. One little shop stood small next to the others, very dull and with one story. I wasn't quite sure why that was the case until I was told that the man who wanted to build this needed permission from the other store owners on the street. Their buildings weren't so easy on the man. They told him that the only way that he could build his store was that it was to be half the size of theirs and colorless. So thats just what he did and the shop is still here with the same man is there now. Right next to the street was the mosque. It wasl built on rectangular land because this means that it is more important unlike triangular land. If something is built on triangular land would mean the place is less important. There were a lot of geometric shapes around the mosque and it was less open. Less open meaning we needed to where cloths around our hair (the girls) and we couldn't come into the praying area of the mosque unless we were muslim ourselves. It was so beautiful and there seemed to be stars around.

Later we went to the hindu temple. This was very different from the mosque. Along the walls were glass boxes containing the different statues of gods. It was very welcoming and interesting. On our way to the chinese (buddhist) temples we saw a lot of shops that had flowers on their necklaces. Once we walked into the buddhist temple the incesse was very strong incense smell was everywhere. People were getting lighting sticks. After lighting it you blow it out and stick it into a pot of powder. It was very cool and my group really enjoyed it! We went to two of them but the second was a bit different. We got our fortune told, mine wasn't so well! After, we ate lunch and went shopping in China Town. It was a great field trip and it taught me a lot

AUSCHWITZ GERMANY

In the story, I really got a better view on what happened in the holocaust. It's terrible and I now understand exactly what they did. I bet the wooden shoes were really painful and they probably gave blisters! To know that his number was so big would mean that there where that many people and thats at Auschwitz only! I believe that there were some brutal and unnecessary things being done to the jews and all done just because Hitler wanted there to be only Germans. BUT the Germans had to be strong though. They actually brought crippled and disabled people to the concentration camps even though they were actually German!!!

It's acceptable to remove a member of the society or group if he or she is thought to be inferior to others. NO WAY!!!

I believe it's absolutely unacceptable to remove a member of the society or group if he or she is thought to be inferior to others. Unless there is a sane reason to do so, I dont approve of that. To be taken out of a society or a group might not be very hard for the person making the choice of taking them out, afterwards it's the removed person's responsibility to do the rest of the work. To be taken out of a society means starting all over again with redeeming their respect and most of the time means needing to get a new home! It sort of depends on whether the person has done something very wrong because if they had, the people sending them out have all the reason to do that. So I say it depends. I heard this question before and we discussed it but my opinion hasn't changed and I dont think it will.
