Quote:
"Babies were thrown into the airand the machine gunners used them as targets" (Wiesel 16).
Analysis:
I think that this is so cruel. Who could be so hating towards these people? Plain and simple, Hitler. Hitler was the basic definition of evil. To do this to poor babies. Babies have no clue what is going on and dont want to be let go by their father or mother. On the mothers side I would imagine it would be even worse. To know that your, basically newborn, is about to die is just heart breaking. I feel a lot of sorrow and pain for the parents of the children and to know that they are next.
Quote:
"Lying down was out of the question, and we were only able to sit by deciding to take turns" (Wiesel 32)
Analysis: This to me, is just also cruel. These poor people knowing that they might die are just treated like animals, or like they are worth nothing. There must have been atleast 80 people in those small cattle wagons. They were so tight that I bet they wanted to just jump out. But the problem was, if they did so they would have been shot. This man was pure evil.

Dreams
George and lennie's dream was to want to own their own land. Without constantly having to work for someone else, and not having money to save. Lennie really wants rabbits to look after. He loves to pet things that are soft. George, along with new friend Candy, want to have the freedom to do there own work and be treated fairly.
I do defiantly think their dreams are realistic. Its almost like the american dream. It would be horrible to not live anywhere, and to always be on the run. It is defiantly important to have dreams for the future because you want to look forward to something in your life. Let's say if your dream is becoming a professional singer, and you dream of becoming famous, well then you are going to dream about those things. When others doubt those dreams of yours, it puts you down a little bit and makes you feel like your dreams are worthless, and that no one cares about them.
If your dreams go unfulfilled for a long period of time then you even start to doubt what your dreams are because if people don't believe in your dreams, and then your dream doesn't happen for a while, you start to believe it. Say that there is a disease right now that is not curable and it is unrealizable. Well there are a lot of people that dream of one day finding a cure. It would defiantly be a wonderful thing to find a cure for any of these diseases. Sometimes these dreams aren't realities.

The Time I...
Growing up in different countries was great for me. Everyday a different adventure. I was born in Manassas, Virginia. My brother was born when I was two, and soon after we moved to Germany. At two years old you don't have much speaking experience. Basically, the first language I learned was German. Germany is amazing! The food is great, the people are wonderful.
Three years later my dad applied for the same job in England. This is where everything happend. Scince the only language I spoke was German, moving to a place where everyone speaks English was a challenge. When I was in 1st grade, I remember having to have a translator in every class. I just couldn't understand English. Everyone there picked on me for that reason. As a first grader, who couldn't communicate with anyone it was hard to make friends.
when it came to 4th grade I could speak every word of English, and had made really wonderful friends. Looking back now, I think it is very cool that I moved around the world because not very many people get that opportunity. I still know some German. Since I did live in England for 7 years I do know how to speak British. I know that I will be going back to those countries because I have family there. Now that I have been living in America for almost one year, i'm starting to miss England and Germany, but I know that I will be happy living here.
