Homework

For the week of:
 * __August 31st to September 4th-__** For this week i watched a movie. The movie was called __Escape From Sobibor__. Although this movie wasn't real, it was based from real historical events that showed how Sobibor was. Sobibor was a concentration death camp. The camp itself was one of the worst. It was located about 12 Km from a Polish town ironically named Sobibor. The main plot of the movie was about how Tovey and his family struggle to stay alive, and how the family and their friends try to find the way to escape from the concentration camp. This movie shows how the Nazi Germans were at this time, how they showed no mercy, no respect for women, and had no mentalilty of good morals. The men were pure evil about what they did, and enjoyed it. Its all about the battle between good and bad. It was terrible to learn what people really do sink too during those times. Its movies like these that make me very grateful for what i have. Im glad i dont have to live as a Jewish person did in these times.

September 4th to September 14-

September 14 to September 19th- During this time period i did alot of studying. well over the time i was assigned to do. I learned alot about the declaration of independance. John locke, and how he influenced may things that Thomas Jefferson wrote into the Declaration. i posted it on my wiki what i learned in the Expert group topic. its the second link and on my blog.



October 1st 2009, Declaration Homework: The format is kind of interesting to me. After reviewing the document i noticed many things. One main thing i noticed was that the documents main format was given from the point of view of "the people". In other words the topics discussed are said from a way that everyone back then understood and may or may not have agreed with. but those who did agree were the ones this decleration applied to. They show what they believe in and how things should be. and all complaints were shown in a way that the people show that they pretty much dont agree with the kings ways and its ultimatly the time for change. When the document repeatedly states the word "He", i'm pretty sure that they authors were talking about the King and Britian. They sate what "He" has done. For example as an exerpt from the article that states "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences." This shows what the people of this new America feel towards the old land and some of what they plan to focus on fixing with their profound Independance. Some of these topics complained are well justified others are just obvious when it comes to how they feel. I mean at the time if someone were to ask for an explanation about a specific area in the decleration an event would easily been given to explain the complaint. This is valid to me.
