Identities worthyness


colorful heavy shoes
brown eyes
brown hair
wallet in pocket 64rm in it
grey socks
wrinkly hands
clean shirt
clean pants
small tubby hands
double jointed bug teeth
birth on forearm
bruises on your legs
That’s me

Is a person’s identity worth fighting for? why or why not? And what would threaten someone’s identity?


A person's identity is worth fighting for if you had no identity you would not "you". Everyone has a right to have a life or to live. One of the things that you can change is your identity not like you can change what your arm looks like. Some things that can threaten you identity would be desperation it might change the way you think and will change what people think of you

Der Giftpilz









Ernst Hiemer created Der Giftpilz ( The poisonous mushroom)is illustrated by Philip Rupprecht. Der Giftpilz was distributed as a book intended for children of a young age as the Nazi party had said on their platforms speeches that children were to learn about "Science of Citizenship" at a young age.This photo has a picture of a rotten mushroom and other mushrooms surrounding the main one that has a big nose the same as the mushroom in the front. Nazi’s classified Jews are portrayed as people with big noses and very ugly and the beard is also a symbolization of Hasidic Jews. There is also a star of David which is the real sign of that person being a Jew. The mushroom is not just a mushroom but is a shape of a man. Hitler thought that gingers were not aloud to be together as their children would be ‘deviant offspring’. The beard of the Jew is ginger so that there would be a bright contrast against the green background.


The expression that the creator of this book is trying to show that even though a Jew looks like a nice person on the outside, they are the ones that caused German's to fall, they were the cause of depression and hyper inflation. Hitler had a main platform which was the most important and which he thought was the way to win and that was the extermination of all Jews and their religion.  The expression of the image also includes poisonous mushrooms as Jews there are normal mushrooms and they were described as Germans and they describe them in such a stereotypical way that it would not be hard to miss them. Children would be brain washed into becoming a soldier or supporter of Hitler and would start to hate Jews and others from an early age, the design of the book is short and has cartoons on it so that it makes it a an easy book for children to read. When Hitler fell some children might have noticed what type of antisemitic ideas he was proposing them with. The Nazi party believed that the influence of this book would make Germany a safer and better place. The idea of making a Jew a rotten mushroom is to exemplify the fact that Jews are all over an they spread just like rotten mushrooms.


This image has a lot of misleading information especially the Jews being the cause for the whole fall of Germany. Not all Jewish people have big noses and they don’t all have long beards and they definitely do not look that ugly. The Nazi party made Jews into a rotten mushroom so that they could understand it clearly and influence the hatered of Jews. The message clear as you can see the star of David on the mushrooms chest and Jews are poisonous. This image expresses negative message as this type antisemitic is a bad influence on children and they will grow up hating Jews but when they discover that they did nothing they will not know who to trust.

The Boy in Striped Pyjamas 2

The Boy In Striped Pyjamas was set in the past. Why should you care about the issues raised in the book? Should we continue to study this book in Grade 7? 


People of our time should care about this book as it is a way to understand what things people can do to each other and it can set that time as stage in history as a time of digrace and humiliation to the human race. If people do not learn about history there is no way for us to learn from mistakes we made in World War one and two. People of the new age have to learn about how people lived and what types of things people were thinking about at that time. They thought of power, honor and pride for their country. Germany's main hatred of the Treaty of Versailles was that they were to take full responsibility of starting the first world war, they lost 33$ billion dollars, land and most important honor. 


This book covers a subject that needs to be read every year through seventh grade people learn about the holocaust. This book tells you what happens in the holocaust but through a perspective of a nine year old boy. The view of this boy changes your thought of what people were like when the war happened. It shows how much discrimination and hatred was put towards the Jews even though they are the same people but just believe in different things. The friendship between a German and a Jew is no different from a German and a German. Hitler encouraged people to hate jews and gave them reasons why they should hate them when the citizen were most vulnerable, from there it was passed down to their children. They brought their children up to hate Jews and what better are they suppose to know.

Standing Up

We need books to have the opportunity of a good education.

Some people cannot afford to by book every year in high school. The alternate source is going to the public library and checkout a book. Every town, city and village should have a public library. It does not matter if there is a school there because there are grown up people that study to see how it can help them with their job or how to get a job. Some libraries have computers which some people cannot afford. The internet is a main way for people to stay connected to what is happening in the world.

Libraries have a job of being a support to the schools education.

If someone wanted a book and the school did not have a library. The library should have the books that you need to help in school. If they take away the option of borrowing books from a public library students knowledge will decrease in everything especially language, if they have books students can stay updated with what is going on in the world. They also can connect and learn about what job there are in the world, and what they need to accomplish to get there.

Library where imaginations run wild.

In a library you have the ability to imagine and see what you could never imagine. It gives people a boost imagination, there are so many different imaginary books that can help you. That are examples how you could create something out of your imagination. A lot of writers make there living by there imagination. Those I dears can provoke others imagination and help them make there lives as great as his.

Profile summary

I am profile I, which is simular to profile K which I was last year. I am Gestalt dominant, I function Visually and Auditory manner. When I am under stress I forget things that I should. I would be taking a test and that would happen. On nearly all my tests in math that has happened. I tend to be weak when writing, When I have to take a big picture and break it down to a small idea. I am not a organized person, Most of the time I don't follow instruction and rules.


I am right handed and right footed which makes the right side of my body dominant. I knew which arm and which leg I was dominant with. But what surprise me was that the right hemisphere of my brain is dominant over the left hemisphere of my brain. My left eye is dominant which makes it hard for me to read because my eye scans from right to left and that is the opposite way that the words are written in the English language. It also makes it harder for me to write. I am dominant in my left ear which means that I should sit where my ear is facing the front of the room. And would help me with all the details and information I need to know. I know where I should be sitting and what are my weaknesses, hopefully I can learn how to avoid running into them.

My Name-Andrew



Andrew , a boring name, a plain name, nothing unusual, not even hard to spell or mispronounce. There is a power under my name Andrew is that it means ‘manly’ in Greek. I don’t know if I am manly or the meaning of manly which is strength and courage. Lobo means wolf in Spanish and people think that it is a cool name but I don’t think that it is that cool it is not an ordinary for sure .I would say that my name does not suite me because I am not a normal relaxed person I like to make people laugh,make noise, have fun. Another thing I don’t like about my name is that there are so many nicknames you can make out of it and my family know all of them. It is embarrassing when they say it in front of my friends. My sister was the one named me because my parents were just trying to please her cause she was excited about the baby. Why would my parents let her name me and why didn’t she name me something better.People around this school call me lobo because that is my last name I don’t mind being called that. But the eight grade teachers call me nick which I hate cause I am not like my brother. I know for a fact that my brother is nothing like me because he is not as kind as me but I am not the kind person. Do think I am a kind?

Andrew's Path of ISKL

I chose the title because I went up to this board in the class and there were a lot of intriguing phrases but I had my attention on that one because of the picture next to it was interesting. On my blog we talk about what is happening and what we think about it. Also we have some sort of path when we go threw school. But sometimes you do not know where you are gonna end up because there are always choices to something. So my sum up of why I choice this saying is because it really appealed to me more than other phrases.
