Hellen Keller Biography- By: Leslie Garrett

I believe the theme of Helen Keller Biography is Perseverance.  Helen Keller has to go through a lot because she is blind and death. She is still fighting for life. In the text it says that she goes to college of the death and the blind. Annie is her tutor. She takes care of Helen. She doesn't give up on her earthier. Hellen has accomplished a lot of amazing thing in her life. Hellen is the only death blind that has got an arts degree. She is also and American author, Political activist and lecturer. Helen was a member of a socialist active party. Even doe Helen was blind and deaf she let's nothing get in her way. This is important because she is blind and deaf but always try's to fine an easier way. 


Hellen Keller is one of my heroes because she is death and blind but that doesn't stop her. She has won many awards over her lifetime. I would want to accomplish goals like she did. Normal people don't accomplish as much as her and she is blind and death. This shows that she lets nothing get in her way and overcomes all the obstacles.

Helen Keller Biography- By: Leslie Garrett

In my book Helen Keller Biography so far its about a young girl named Helen Keller.  She was born in June 27,1880.  She had a bad fever when she was young. In the text it says her parents did not take her to the doctor. They wanted to wait if the fever would go away but it only got worse. Then one day Hellen just sat still. Her mother named Kate was scared. She shined a light at Helen eyes but nothing happened. Kate got more scared. She shouted into her hear and nothing happened. They took Helen to the doctor and the doctor told them he had bad news. Helen Keller was blind and deaf. This shows that Helen has to overcome more obstacles than normal people but, she is a bright woman.


I predict that Hellen Keller will go on with her life and accomplish great things in her life. I predict that she will make the blind and deaf proud. She will accomplish great achievements even doe she is blind and deaf. This is important because even doe she has obstacles in her life Hellen Keller doesn't just stop and do nothing about it. She wants to do great things.

The Devils Arithmetic Summary

Hannah and her family are now sent to the concentration camps. She keeps telling them what is going to happen next but nobody listen to her.  Hannah has to through some tuff times. The German's make the people work so hard that their arms almost fall of. They only feed them potato soup and cold hard bread.  Jews are dying faster than fly's. The Germans are burning them in the smokestack or killing them in the gas chamber. Every week the general come in the camp and chooses people whether they die or they stay alive. Hannah has to try to convince the Jews to fight back and not be bystanders. She has to tell them whats is going to happen next if they want to live. 




A connection that I made was that I went to a Holocaust museum and I saw how people where being treated at the concentration camp. I saw how they killed the Jews. It was a genocide. We had the chance to talk to a Holocaust surviver. She talked about how everybody had to wear a Jewish star and that her parents sent her and her sister to a another person that would take them. After the war the parents came back for her and lived a happy live. 

The Devil's Arithmetic Summary

So far in my book the main character is Hannah.  She is a Jew. Her whole family is celebrating passover. Which is a type of tradition that involves a lot of food and prayers. Hannah hates all this celebration stuff. She has a brother named Aron. When celebration your suppose to drink some wine. Hannah has a little to much fun and gets dizzy. Then her grandpa tells her to open the door for Elijah. Which is a tradition they also do. When she opens the door there is no one there. Then she starts dreaming with all that wine. She goes in almost another dimension into a Polish Village. The years turn into 1942. Everyone calls here "Chaya".there. She doesn't know what it means.  Soon the Nazis take her and all the villagers away. Only Hannah knows what awaits.

One sign post that I found in my book was Again & Again. People kept saying Chaya to Hannah. I believe it has a meaning to it. I believe it means life and beauty. I think they keep calling her that because she has a meaning to be there in the Holocaust. She knows what happen in the past now she is going to help the people escape from the camps and help them survive.

Holocaust Review

There were a lot of bystanders during the Holocaust but the true heroes where the up standers. I think many people stood by and watched the Holocaust take place for many reasons. First probably the people were scared of getting caught by the Nazis. If you hid a Jew and the Nazis found out you will get killed with the rest of them. Second they probably thought they couldn't do nothing about the problem. They felt like their words or action wouldn't do anything to stop such a big problem. Third probably the people didn't care about the problem. They were doing nothing about it. They could of helped little by little but instead they didn't do nothing. They made the problem grow bigger.  

I think the people that did stand up were heroes. They risked their life's to help other in need. They probably couldn't take the idea of people just getting killed for their race. They had to step up and take action. If I were living in that time period I would try to hide some Jews in my house or gather some of the Jews and take them long away for them to be safe. I will also take out all the propaganda from the streets so the Jews won't feel bad.

The Gadget Summary

So far in my book really weird stuff is happening. The main character in my book is a boy named Stephen. His dad is one of the best scientist in the United States. His dad and other scientist are trying to make a weapon that will end Hitlers army and win the war.  He was living in London but since Germany bombed London, Stephen mom sent him to the U.S. where his dad is living. His dad is living in a town filled with soldiers and scientist. Stephen make a new best friend called Alaie . The scientist are building a top secret device. Stephen and Alaie have to find out what this big secret thing is about. They go through series of obstacles to find out information.

The Plot is the favorite part of the book for me because Stephen goes to a field trip and gets kidnapped by guys disguise by nuns. He kicks and screams but the sound of bands are so loud. He manages to escape but the nuns keep chasing him. I can predict that Stephen will not be captured, he will be saved by someone.
