Daniel's Story Quote Blog

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.”This is what Erika tells Daniel before leaving Lodz ghetto. This reminded me of my grandma. She chose love even though it was against society's expectations of her. She grew up very poor and so she had the opportunity to go to the city and babysit for one of her wealthier relatives. She moved there when she was around my age so thirteen or twelve. She was there all the way until she was eighteen. When she was eighteen a wealthy boy from a powerful family came to town. It was expected of them to only be with other people from the same social class. They both defied this and they got married. 

Tribute to Klaus Langer

This blog is going to be (as you can tell from the title) a tribute to a holocaust survivor. His name was Klaus Langer. He was separated from his family and never saw them again. He ended up making it out and moved to Israel but later died from natural causes. 

Home

This weeks blog is all about home. What does that mean to me?Home is a place where you can relax and have some down time. You can also have more than one home. I have two. My dad has an apartment. My mom has a small house. And that is what home means to me.

Pictures of my Life

Short Story

(Hello everyone. This is just a short story. Nothing in this is real! Enjoy.)
The fire was getting closer. The embers float in the air in front of me. I see the limp body of Jack. He is underneath a wooden beam. Must of fallen from the ceiling. I slowly walk to him. I lift the heavy wooden beam from his abdomen. I then swing him up onto my shoulder. I see another person staggering in the distance.
 "Hey!" I shout.
  They don't respond. I start to walk towards them. If I had to guess it would either be Will or Jace. We were the only other ones in the building. I finally reach the figure. His hood is up,the shadows created by the fire hiding his face from view. I tear the hood down from his head. It's Jace. His eyes are glassed over.
  "Who is it?"
   "It's me."
   "Liam...man what are we going to do?"
    "We have to get out before the cops come."
   Together we stagger through the debris. We reach a broken window. I lower myself down so I can boost Jace through the square opening. I swing Jack through the opening. Jace's hands reach Jack and drag him through the rest of the way. When Jack is out I push myself through the small opening. When I get up from the cold grass I relish the feel of cold air against my face.
     "Guys!"
   Its Will. When he notices Jack on my shoulder his eyes widen.
      "We need to get out of here." I say.
   The sirens split the silence of the peaceful woods. The four of us turn and start to run towards the thick wall of trees.
 
 

A New Year

It was below freezing and I was sitting in my dad's apartment waiting for the ball to drop. I hadn't fallen asleep yet which wasn't that much of a surprise. Although the fact that my little cousin was still up surprised me. We had been banished to my room because the adults wanted to watch a adult comedy movie. When it was over my uncle left and my aunt and cousin remained. This year I didn't make a resolution. I mean the only reason I made one before was because we were forced to at school. Which I'm kind of surprised they didn't make us write one up this time. Personally they don't do anything. I might stick with it for like a day then I forget that I even made it in the first place. So, my New Years was pretty fun considering.
