Holocaust

I think the events of the Holocaust are terrible, but it could have been prevented. All the blame was put on Germany, which caused them to get mad and what revenge. The conditions in the Treaty of Versailles were too harsh on Germany. Also, I think what happened in the concentration camps was horrible. Those event could have been stopped as well. If people viewed others as individuals instead of groups, then the world would be smoother. If one person in a group does something wrong, the whole group shouldn't have to be punished.

Positive Aspects of my Parents

One thing that I have noticed about my mom is that she is really good at listening. I've always known she was, but one experience really helped me. One of my friends wasn't as close to her mom as I was. I didn't really notice our relationship, but she did. She told me that she wanted the kind of relationship I had with my mom. This helped me tell my mom everything. She listens to everything I have going on, and she always talks to me and helps me get through problems.

To Kill A Mockingbird

I think that I would be friends with Scout, Jem, and Dill. They have a lot of fun adventures that I would want to be involved in. When I was younger, my brother and I would make up games to play outside. We would sometimes act things out and it was fun. Their were also some neighbors in that I didn't know very well, and there wasn't many people my age for me to hang out with.

Living a Life

The best way to have the life you want is to look around. Notice little details, they may matter later. Pay attention to memories that made you happy, things that shaped you into who you are now, and people that have changed your life. Learn new things. Be happy and smile. Have people you can talk to. Open up, don't hold back. Life moves and changes fast. Be open to change and know things will happen for a reason. Bad days may come, but just keeping your head up, it will get better eventually.

Constitutional Amendments

I would make it so that there is more equality between races. There are still people who use their race to their advantage. There are different grants based on race and what happens within that race. There are also still people who judge others just on race. It really bothers me because it's really nothing that major. People need to starting looking on the inside of people, not judging others based on looks. So I feel that different races should become more equal.

Believe in Again

If you believe in something still, then the belief hasn't changed. If you are believing in something again, then the belief went away, but you want to believe in it again. I wish that I could believe in Santa again. I have so many memories of setting cookies and milk out for Santa. Then, on Christmas morning, opening all the presents from Santa. It was fun getting all excited for everything that Santa would bring. Thinking of Santa brings other memories as well. Making him a list, going to see him, it was just a great time in my life.

Personality vs. Appearance

I think that outward appearance has a connection with inward personality. I know people who, by the way they look, I can tell how they are going to act. That isn't always a bad thing. There are other people I have met who surprised me. I figured that they would act a certain way, but they didn't. That also can be a good thing. It depends on the situation. Human nature is for us to judge others. Most judging has to do with looks, because it's the first thing we see. People choose their personality. It can be affected by influences, but the end result is all on the individual. We also somewhat choose our looks, like our hair and clothes. So I feel that those two choices mostly will correspond with each other.
