Need

Need by Carrie Jones is about a young girl, Zara White, who moves to a small shivery Maine town. Zara's mother, who Zara lived with in Connecticut, says she can not deal with her not smiling, being sad, and her not being herself anymore so she sent her off to Maine to live with her mother, Zara's grandmother. Before leaving Connecticut, Zara notices this creepy man in a black coat following her. She doesn't really think anything of it until she goes to her new school. While in the lunchroom with her new friends, Devyn and Issie, she sees the guy again, and he's pointing at her. This gives her the shivers. In this small town, there have been boys gone missing in the past few months. They quickly find out this guy maybe a pixie and not the nice sweet pixies either.

The Chosen Theme

My theme, Peace Love and Writing, symbolizes my intentions for my blog. While creating my blog last year, I wanted to go for a tranquil kind of feeling, a feeling that would make somebody feel all warm inside. Peace and love can do that.

I have many gadgets on my blog that have to deal with peace and love. Many that can teach you about these two topics or quotes that just make you feel good.

The colors of my blog are very calming and pretty. Pink and red are the colors of love. That is the reason I chose this background for my blog

We are in english class so instead of

happiness I put writing. Peace is

tranquility and a calm state of mind. Love

is beautiful. So My blog is all

about that.

Night

Night by Elie Wiesel is about his life growing up in the concentration camps of the Holocaust. Night begins in 1941 when Elie is twelve years old. Elie along with his mother, father, sister, and many other Jews of Sighet are stuffed into cattle wagons and taken to Birkenau to be tortured. Elie gets forever split from his mother and sister. He witnesses much darkness and anguish while being stuck in this torturous place. He sees babys being thrown into a ditch into burning flames, he and his father indure severe beatings, he witnesses several hangings, he sees a boy kill his own father over some food. Elie and his father are able to survive through the selection process and not get cremated. Eventhough his father overcomes all these things he manages to fall ill and eventually die. The Germans planned to kill all the jews but their plan did not succeed because of the uprise of the resistance and American tanks came and rescued them. Elie is put in the hospital and he survives.

Darkness

"I pinched myself: Was I still alive? Was I still awake? How was it possible that men, women, and children were being burned and that the world kept silent?
This picture that I have drawn symbolizes darkness in all the people that were killed and hurt, made slaves of, and even thrown into the flames by the evil of man that put them there, cremated, made fools of, screaming and crying. The chaos in the times of the Holocaust render much darkness in the lifes that were unwillingly put to silence.

Holocaust

The Term Holocaust.... To me the term holocaust means disaster, destruction, sadness, pain, and suffering. The dictionary term for Holocaust is "A great or complete devastation or destruction, esp. by fire."
