Genocide

After reading "Night" genocide became the next topic in class. The guestion we were asked is why does genocide keep happening and what if anything can stop it. I feel as though genocide just keeps happening because of the people in the world todday. I feel as they dont care about anybody but themselves and dont think that they should help out at all. If people stopped judging people then none of this would happen. If people would just except people for who they are and not try to change them we wouldnt have a problem. I feel as though we cant really "stop" it unless we totally change the views of people today. Unless every single person changes the way they look at people and how they feel, nothing else can change it.

IT SNOWEDD and IT WAS COLD!!

For the first time this winter it actually felt like winter and more to come tommorrow. I love love love snow and when i woke up today for my 8:30 class Ugghhh and i saw the snow on my car i was like wow, its actually january. Today was not that bad of a day, i went to my classes came home and then went to work. Work was great, i love my class where i am a assistant teacher it just makes my day soo much better when my little 2 year olds run up to me and say MISS LULU. I read MANY stories to my little ones and colored soo many pictures haha. I also played bingo and built different castles haha.

Though the one downfall of the day is that im sick. I HATE HATE HATE being sick and i have a cold , i hate colds they are the worse. BUT the besst part of today has not happened yet.. GREYS ANATOMY is on at 9 and i can not wait. im gonna put on some sweats curl up by the tv with my mac and cheese and watch some greys anatomy, its going to be great. But for now i have to go do some homework. =/

Reaction to "Night"

When i was first told to read "Night" all i kept thinking was oh no here comes another boring book that we HAVE to read for class. But to my suprise this book turned out to be amazing. We had to read just the preface and introduction but i couldnt put the book down. I kept reading and enjoyed every page and every line in the book. The book was so detailed and really kept my interest. I felt as though i really got to know the characters in the novel. This book really lets you understand the hardship that the people had to go through. I can not wait to continue reading and finishing the novel.

Introduction

Hello,

My name is Lucia, I am 19 years old and i am 100% italian. I visit Italy often and have many relatives there as well. Some of my cousins live there along with my dad and moms aunts. I love to dance, I was once part of a dance team and loved every minute of it. I work at a preschool in my town and i could not ask for a better job. I love working with children and one day hope to open up my own preschool. I am majoring in early childhood education at Montclair State Universtity. I also work at a childrens entertainment place where i am a party hostess for childrens birthday parties. I have a huge family and i love my family parties. I have a younger brother named Raffaele who is 16 years old. I have an amazing boyfriend named Vinny. He is always there for me and i hope to be with him forever. I can not wait till March 29th 2007 because i am going to see Justin Timberlake in concert. I am a huge fan of Justin Timberlake and i will be in the third row on the floor during his concert. My friends are my life and i love them very much. I love listening to music and waking up to music. I love Desperate Housewives, Greys Anatomy,One Tree Hill, and House. I drink 2-3 cups of DUNKIN DONUTS coffee a day and will never get sick of it. I love to read books by Nicholas Sparks and when i read his books i cant put it down. I love shopping especially at American Eagle and Hollister. I love love love jeans but i also love wearing sweatpants. I dont mind just sitting home and relaxing by the tv sometimes instead of going out. I cry over everything no matter if its happy or sad. Most of the time i get along well with my parents. I am a very girly girl, i love getting my nails and hair done. I love the summer but i dont like the beach because im not a fan of the ocean. I love wearing hats and lots of jewelery. Though most of the time my life is pretty confusing but i get through it. I wouldnt change it for the world.

I am taking this basic reading course and at first i expected it to be a overview of basically the test i didnt do so well on. Though this class is so much more and im happy about it. Its so interesting and gets you to be involved with the materials at hand. With this class i hope to get the learning materials needed in order to pass the test. Though most of all i want to be able to know more about reading and understanding reading in general.
