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.

My identity

Sucks to Be Me!

Mina, a average teenage girl just wants to fit in her last year in highschool but the only thing that is getting in the way of this is that her mom and dad are both VAMPIRES!!! It never really mattered to her or occured to her that big of a deal until one morning; Mina was just getting ready to eat her breakfast when her parents tell her they really need to talk. They say it had come to the time in her life where she needed to make a life changing decision for herself. She had to choose weather or not she wanted to become a vampire! Everyone knows their answer right away most people saying, 'OBVIOUSLY, who doesnt want to look as good looking as edward cullen! SERIOUSLY!!!" In the story she says that none of this was true.

Vampires didn't sparkle in the sun (however they did need a TON of sun block or they would burn all the way in the sun), they did not have to look good, they didn't only drink blood they could eat food if they wanted to! She knew this all for a fact especially using her uncle Mortie as an example. Over weight, no manners, not so good looking, and ate like he had never eaten before. Her mother didn't really like the manners uncle Mortie put on at the dinner table.

Mina did NOT want to become a vampire at all and to make it worse her english teacher decides they should do a project about count dracula! Mina really wanted to tell her best friend, who now became a gothic. They had been friend for so long and she really wanted to tell her everything to let it out but it wasn't aloud it was too big of a secret. Mina comes home to meet a new girl along with her uncle Mortie. The new girl was a vampire that worked with the vampire counsil and she said that Mina had to go to vampire lessons before she makes her big decision. Mina hated the thought of it. She could just imagine all these people who really want to be vampires and Mina really didn't want to be vampire.

Mina's uncle Mortie was in charge of teaching her all she needed to learn aside from the classes, her parents weren't so proud of this but they knew she had to. If anything, Mina would have chosen uncle Mortie last from all the people who could teach her. At dinner she had to much to handle in a day so she wen't to her room and wrote about how she hated the decision and how much she needed to let it out to somone!

As the book continues reading page after page, Mina's decision didn't even change a bit. Not even thinking about it twice she knew her decision, she didn't want to be a vampire and nothing would change that.
