Bystander or Not (Nazis)

I would be a bystander because this was all wrong and I would love to help but I would also not like to get hurt or on the Nazis bad side.That is why I would be a bystander.

Anne Frank

The adversity Anne Frank has gone through is not being able to see sunshine or play and hang with kids her age,and she has to share a room with a man that is in his late fifties.She does not get along with her mother because her mother wants her to be more like her sister but Anne thinks she should be her own person.Actually the only person closes to her age in the little hide out is Peter Van Dann a 16 yr old boy she did not get along with him at the beginning but after a while she started to become friends with him and they would stay in his room for most of the morning and they would just talked about life before they went into hiding and what they would like to do when they got out.

When I was younger we did not have a lot of money and we lived in our grandmas basement which was turned into a little apartment.Me and my sister had our own room and my dads room was in the living room,but when my dads friend started living with us I had to sleep with my sister and he got my room my dad let him stay with us because we needed a little more money so he payed rent and stuff but me and my sister didn't have a lot of clothes or toys so we did do with what we had and took care of our stuff.

Love,Lucas

Words of the Wiser

In the story Love,Lucas a girl named Oakley Nelson loses her brother Lucas to cancer.A few weeks have gone by since the funeral and her mom and dad are having an argument,her mother wants to go live in California with her sister Jo for a few months.When her mom walks into her room she asked  Oakley if she wants to go to California with her and Oakley says yes because she thinks it would be good for her to leave all her troubles and worries behind.(fast coward through the trip,and Jo's house tour.) When Oakley was in her new room just thinking her mom comes in and gives Oakley a notebook that Lucas had wrote his thoughts and all the games he wanted to tell Oakley before he died.Oakley was just looking at the notebook and she was scared to find out what was in between the pages,she opens to the first page and finds it was a letter from Lucas telling her what the notebook had in it and that she should read one page a day also (here comes the reading signpost) she should not mourn over her brother she should be out living life not moping around the house and being distant because that is going to get her no where and that he would not like to see her like that he would like to see her take up photography and the guitar again and make new friends.After she read that she thought for minute and then changed got her camera and went across the street to the beach to calm down and take pictures.That is the words of the wiser signpost I found in my book.(I'm not done reading it and I may find more Signpost.)

Las Angeles,California

LA is were I want to be,

Were people never sleep,

Beautiful lights and racing cars,

Sights after signs,

Hollywood and Broadway,

Celebrity's and Movies,

Palm trees,and beaches,

LA is the place I need to be!
