Re Reading Analysis

Improved Essays
When i read i use various types of reading strategies. One of those strategies is re-reading. There are times while i am reading where i dose off and miss whatever i was suppose to read. Rereading allows me to get a juste of a part of my book that i have missed and prevents confusion. It's important to reread incase you have missed an important part of you book. Another strategy that i use while reading is visualizing. Visualizing allows me to be more engaged in my book. To me visualizing is kinda like making the book into a movie in your mind.

2. It all started out when the Nazis came to Czechoslovakia. Life was still decent because i had my family, close friends and a place to call home. I was caught up dreaming about the stars and my

At one point in the book the Nazis were in Eva’s living room. In this situation the author wanted to make you scared, the author is trying to make you terrified of the Nazis. One of the sentences she used was “I didn’t understand what he was saying just the fear he was creating”. In that sentence you don’t even need to infer, the author technically says that the Nazis are creating fear for Eva. This means the Nazis were so frightening, by them just standing there in her living room made her terrified, because they have done so many horrible things. Another sentence in that scene was, “suddenly the soldiers were gone. They had left the front door open, the silence stood in their place”. When I read that sentence I can’t help but imagine a dark eerie room. She is trying to convey the spine chilling feeling that these Nazis have created for the people who lived in the time period of the …show more content…
The ted talks and Mussa have taught me to not be ignorant about the world. Just because it’s decent in Canada it doesn’t mean it’s great in other places. I have started to change my point of view whenever something like my internet isn’t working, I think “at least i have internet”, there's people in 3rd world countries who don’t even have clean drinking water, or a school, the things we take advantage of. In my book, “someone named Eva” Eva is not ignorant about the world. Like I mentioned in question 4, Eva respects the Jewish people. The only problem is she isn’t doing anything about it, she pity’s the Jews. Although she doesn’t have much of a choice, only to listen, or else she would be severely punished. Most of the other girls are convinced that the German race is the most superior race on the planet, even though there isn’t a real reason behind that, they just believe what they are told. Most of the other girls are ignorant about how the Jewish feel; they believe that Jewish people are awful, and that there like “pigs” because they were only told the Nazis point of view. At the end of my chunk Eva starts to mention to the girls that the teacher at the concentration camp isn’t telling the truth, and that the German race isn’t the most superior race on the planet. The holocaust wouldn’t have happened if one person (Hitler) wasn’t ignorant about other people. If Hitler looked at Jews as equals and not as “pigs”, the holocaust would have never began. Sadly some people

    These are the images from Shutterstock I would like. They are being used in a tri-fold brochure so the res don’t need to be extreme as long as I can edit them without degrading the image. I will mostly just be changing the ratio of images to fit my template. If I could have these by 7-Jul that would be great because I need to get them over to Frank at PERS 532P for printing.

    In both articles there are some words that are a lie. All I know is that she would give out marriage licenses to same sex couples, but she said as long as her name is not in the document is okay. The ones she gave out in the license it said “pursuant to federal” not her name which is weird. The two articles that we read, “The Pope and Kim Davis: Seven Points to Keep in Mind” by James Martin, SJ and “How Pope Francis Undermined the Goodwill of His Trip and Proved to Be a Coward” by Michelangelo Signorile are mostly on logos and pathos. The only reason I think it’s based on that is because it express emotion and logic.…

    Imagine Auschwitz: people’s eyes are filled with sorrow as they glance at the girl. Her ribs are detected from under her shirt and her nails were born with yellow stains that, just looked like she peeled hundreds of lemons. As a man sits up and grabs his whip, he shares a laugh with another commander and starts to shuffle towards the starving child. His hand grabbed the girl’s arm. After cries of pain the child limps with blood slashes and purple and blue fingers.…

I still rely on DJE, T2T like I did when I took basic reading as well. They are very helpful strategies that help me to read better and think about what I am reading. For this and other classes my goals are to understand what I am reading and being able to sum up what I read with very little difficulty.…

    We all love American history but history class is the most hated subject taught in school. “Just memorize the notes, and you’ll be fine on the test,” said every history teacher I have ever had in my schooling. What do we really learn and reflect on from history class? Is it the teacher who can not teach or is the textbook that makes it boring? In “Lies My Teacher Told Me” by James Loewen, he criticizes how textbooks distort American History in a way that corresponds with the mindset of rich white Americans through the “heroification” of historical figures and America itself, the mistreatment of Native American peoples, and the enslavement of African American peoples.…

    I totally agree with you Stephanie how you’ve ended your discussion as how this story reflects on human spirit on adversity. The Holocaust is a difficult topic to discuss with children, but Karen Levine introduces this tough subject to any person who reads this book in an excellent way. I feel strongly that this book should be taught in schools. I don’t know if it’s being taught already but if it isn’t, this needs to be shares and discussed.…

    In response to teaching his first freshman class in years, Keith Parsons, am old fashioned, often condescending professor at University of Houston-Clear Lake, writes an article entitled “Message to My Freshman Students. " The purpose of this article is to lecture incoming freshmen on the differences between high school and college, specifically, in how they are taught and how they learn. Parsons believes that students do not understand the logistics of a college education. In his opinion, students have spent their formative years learning in an incorrect manner, too focused on testing than anything else. He views it as his job to educate freshmen, and to “welcome [them] to higher education.…

    When you as an educator take the time to consider the rationale for your lessons on the Holocaust, you will be more likely to select content that speaks to your students’ interests and provides them with a clearer understanding of a complex history. Most students demonstrate a high level of interest in studying this history precisely because the subject raises questions of fairness, justice, individual identity, peer pressure, conformity, indifference, and obedience—issues that adolescents confront in their daily lives. Students are also affected by and challenged to comprehend the magnitude of the Holocaust; they are often particularly struck by the fact that so many people allowed this genocide to occur by failing either to resist or to protest.…

    Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, once said “No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgements are wrong. Only racists make them.” In the 1900s, during World War II, the Germans were ordered by Hitler to gather all Jews. The Jews are moved to concentration camps, first to Auschwitz then to Buchenwald.…

    Another part of their dignity that is destroyed is their independence. The Jews are used to being independent people who can take care of themselves, but at the concentration camps, the SS make all the decisions. In fact, the bell that runs the operations is one of the things that Eliezer hates the most. His hatred runs so deep that “whenever [Eliezer] dreamed of a better world, [he] could only imagine a universe with no bells” (69 & 70). By striping the Jews of a need as simple as independence, the Nazi’s are dehumanizing them to a point where they do not remember what life was like before Auschwitz.…

    The Jews’ desire to live deteriorates through their loss of identity, inhumane treatment, and their loss of dignity. As strong as the Jews are, no one can tolerate the utterly painful dehumanization that was bestowed upon them by the Nazis. Individual identity is paramount to a person’s…

    My approach to reading has changed over the semester. Before this class, I would just read without taking notes. In reading, I would just read instead of looking up the difficult word or using context clues to figure out what the word means. Now during my reading I annotate and look up unknown vocabulary words. When I look up the difficult word, I would find the closest appropriate definition.…
