Night


Night was a wonderful book. I have always been really interested in the Holocaust, so this book gave me a great insight to what was really going on. Night was attention-grabbing, and informed me so well on the Holocaust.

As soon as I opened Night, I couldn't stop reading. In school when we have to do papers on the Holocaust, and research about the Holocaust, I always get very involved. The Holocaust was one of the most terrible things I have ever heard of. In this book, the vision of the holocaust became clearer, and more horrid.

I never imagined anyone could ever do the things Hitler did to all those people. I didn't even know about some of the stuff that was going on in those camps! It just seems like no one could ever be that evil in this world. When I was reading parts of Night, it just seemed like I was reading some crazy make believe story, but its real and burned into some peoples hearts and minds forever.

Night, was amazing. I can't describe how the book made me feel. I can tell you that I appreciate everything I have and that nothing has happened to me like the Holocaust because of this book. It was great and I definately recommend you read it, especially if you like learning about the Holocaust as much as I do.

***my spring break

My spring break was great! To start it off, I went to searcy to see my dad. Which was probably the best part of it because I love my dad. I stayed down there most of the week, seeing friends and catching up with all that I've missed.

I visited my previous school, Harding Academy. Harding was full of rules to follow and was very strict, but I still love going to see my coaches and teachers, because they're wonderful people!

I came back to batesville with my grandmother, and went shopping that weekend. I ran almost everyday during my break, so when I would come back to school I would be ready to start running track for the lady pioneers again. :)

The weather wasn't all that great during my break, but I still had a good break getting to spend time with the ones I love and miss so much.
