Theme

I'm reading this book called White Crow, and the theme that I found was always make good decisions.  In the text it says "We all make choices, thousands of them, each and everyday. Many are so small that we're barley aware of making them". This proves that we have to make good decisions. Also we have to make wise choices for out futures. In the text it says "These are choices we make for good, or ill, and they determine our future, and the future of those around us." This proves that we have to make wise choices for our futures and if we don't then we won't get a good future.

Sign post - memory moment

Im reading this book called Fountain of weird, and I found a memory moment. In the text it says, "I reminded him of the time we bought a book on witchcraft at the library book sale".This proves that this is a memory moment because he is reminding him of a time when they went to a library for a book sale. another piece of evidence says "But, but. . . Avery is my only child! Avery? That was the kid who traded the jar for Simon's wagon!". This shows that this is a memory moment because he is remembering that she was in his sight before.

Anne Frank

As we are reading Anne Frank we are learning that the adversity that Anne Frank faces are, arguing with her mom and dad. This relates to me because I sometimes argue with my parents. Another adversity that she faces is that she has to hide inside her small home with her family from the Nazis. This doesn't relate to me because I haven't hid from someone before. How does this relate to you?

Conflict

Im reading this book called "Bring me a dream", and the conflict of this book is about how a boy named Marshall who finds and advertisement called dream deliveries. Then he finds out that his dad had a nightmare and had come true. In the book it says "The advertisement showed a van driving on a cloud. The words beneath the van said: YOU DREAM IT, W'ELL DELIVER IT. BEST RATES IN EERIE. CALL NOW, TOLL FREE." This proves that the conflict is how he finds an advertisement called "dream deliveries". In the text it says "I picked up the bill. It was for $7,564.13, to be exact. It had come in an envelope marked as DREAM DELIVERIES. I had a nightmare about this last night, said my father". This proves that this conflict is about how nightmares come true. This is an internal conflict because he is worried that he would get a nightmare and would come true.

Holocaust opinion

People just watched this happen because they knew that if they stood up, then the Nazis would harm them. They stood up for others because they wanted to be helpful and they didn't want to feel their pain. I would have sneaked up on the Jews and tried to rescue them because I wouldn't want them to suffer.
