so much depends

So much depends upon the wet singing of the birds, so much depends on the beautiful blue sky, the tall trees, the dry leaves and grass on the ground. so much depends on the bird callings, the bright yellow, the beautiful blue sky.

does my head look big in this #3

As i keep reading this book i have learned that people can be so quick to judge on the "hijab". In the book i am reading Amal she is SO afraid to wear the hijab and what the school administration would say to her. And how her classmates would treat her! Amal would always be thinking are they gonna treat me diffrent . I think that part of the book was kinda of like are you kidding me... when i started to wear the scarf i was scared but not like Amal was in the book. Even though she went to a private prep school i think that anyone should be able to walk anywhere and not have to worry about what people are gonna say about what u are wearing or who u are etc...

I am still reading 'Does my head look big in this? Lelia's mom says something really relevant right know in many peoples lives " Amal a good girl" Leila's mom says darting a look at Yasmeen. she wear hijab she good girl" pg .113. Abdel-Fattah. This quote is significant because right know in the Muslim community many young girls choose not to wear the hijab. In the Muslim religion it states that a girl must wear the hijab as soon as she starts her first menstrual cycle. Most young girls do and the ones who don't usually get maid fun of and harassed and in our religion it says a day of not wearing the hijab is walking around naked for a day. So Lelia's mom is saying to Yasmeen that it is important for her to wear her hijab and shows her loyalty to her religion and her how much her faith means to.. it also shows her purity and her morals and values!

As i was reading Does My Head Look Big In This? I learned that it is a very difficult for some Muslims to make the decision of wearing the scarf. For me when i decided to wear the scarf i was in the 6Th grade. It wasn't that hard because it was choice and i went to a school where i know i really wouldn't be teased that much about it! In the book Amal decides to start wearing the hijab in the middle of high school and she goes to a private prep school.. It took her a very long time for her to realize that she could where the hijab. I t wasn't a matter of her realizing if she could wear it or not it was the time she realized she wanted to embrace it and be like the other Muslims.

my paragraph

The holocaust was a tragedy to many people , it had many effects short term and long term. The long term effects were more physically and mentally. The physically effects on the holocaust survivors were very crucial. The prisoners at the concentration camps were given tattoos as there identity. According to the article written about Tova, she was given her identity "A27633," at the age of five. This number was used for there identification. Every time the holocaust survivors would look down on the there arms the would see the number and be reminded of the holocaust the fear the terror and be reminded of all the terrible things that happened to them. .According to JOHN BURDICK Article, some are not ashamed of the tattoo but proud and have kept it to show pride. "the world should be ashamed, not me." (Tova Friedman ) Tova had experienced a lot of things a young child should never experience.
The holocaust survivors’ had been left with physiological problems after the holocaust. Some of the survivors have problems starting new families because .They have lost there other families to the Nazis and it was hard for them to start from scratch because the still had fear and weren’t use to things yet. According to the article Krystal, and that the holocaust survivors suffered concentration camp syndrome.
It was hard for the survivors to cop with the knew living style and ways due to the concentration camps and the trauma they had surfed. The holocaust had many effects on people many were long term effects, the holocaust survivors have suffered so much and had so much trauma, fear and terror . Some still look back and still have fear and some are still haunted by it. Even though the holocaust was a bad thing, it made the survivors strong in one way and heroes, because if they could survive the holocaust they can survive through anything it just made them stronger in a way.

holiday ! :)

I found this song on holidays by boys like girls- When I was younger I used to be wild As wild as an elephant's childNo one could hold me down No one could keep me around ow it's your turn, take a shot Baby show me everything that you got Maybe you can keep me alive Maybe you can get in my mind But it's only a matter of time Before I run far away I need to take a holiday Maybe it's a fall from grace I gotta find a new place A holiday I'll set off on a new chase I gotta see a new faceI need to take a holiday My father, he was always wise As wise as an elephant's eyes He couldn't hold me down He couldn't keep me around So are you gonna take your shot?It's the only one that you got Maybe I'll go out on a limb Maybe I'll jump in for a swim When the lights go dim You know I'll run far awayI need to take a holiday Maybe it's a fall from grace I gotta find a new placeA holidayI'll set off on a new chaseI gotta see a new face I need to take a holiday(Need to take a holiday)Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoaA new start I've broken too many hearts And I don't have any clue where to goI don't knowBut maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday When I was younger I used to be wild As wild as an elephant's childAnd I don't think I'll ever change I think I'm gonna stay the same I'll run far awayI need to take a holiday (need to take a holiday)Maybe it's a fall from grace I gotta find a new place A holiday I'll set off on a new chase (set off on a new chase)I gotta see a new face I need to take a holiday A new startI've broken too many hearts And I don't have any clue where to go I don't know But maybe I'll be back someday after my holidayA ll of the wasted time The hours that were left behindThe answers that we'll never find They don't mean a thing tonight. This song is talking about how he needs a vacation a " holiday" A break from life . I think that holiday means the bringing of the loved ones family friends. Holiday is a day/days to get away from the real world to have fun to be yourself. A holiday is a day you take off think get away from all the problems and when you come back maybe you can deal with them in a better manner, and that after coming back from a holiday you have a knew start. Life without holidays i think people would be a wreck and kids would be miserable. Holidays are great thing and a good thing apart of life!

Imperalsim!

Imperialism in Africa was a big problem in the late 1800s. The British basically took over Africa , mostly because of their own interest and there own . Beside the fact that they had moral interest in Africa they had money interest. I think that the British were very selfish to do that to Africa because they only thought of themselves and not of Africa's needs and what they would get out of this! The only reason British did what they did is because The Suez Canal cut off six thousand tedious miles of travel which otherwise had to be made for a British ship to travel to India. Wow what people do to get to the top! This just made it more accessible and cheaper cost for the British imports and exports!
