This film is about a girl Hannah Stern. She is a pampered Jewish girl who doesnt bother or care about what happened in the Holocaust in 1941, till one night she was transported back into her families tradgic past. As World War Two builds with rage, she is imprisoned in a Nazi comncentration camp with her future Aunt, Rivkah. They struggle as watching the pain of many women and children rise, surviving with little food, a shocking environment and forced to work to their fullest extent. Hannah soon comes to know that Rivkah is her aunt Eva back in the future and starts to understand and appreciate the Jewish customs that her family had endured.

I thought that it was very interesting at what prossess they had to go through when they got brought into a concentration camp. For example getting their hair cut off, having numbers tattooed on their arms, the clothes they wear and how they have to work very hard etc. I also liked how it flowed from one event to another and there were eye catching parts that made you keep watching, like when the boys were hung, i thought it was really sad.

At the start of this movie I think that it could have been explained more about why she had to open that door, and what happens when the door is opened, how it effects everybody else. Another thing that I thought was a put down for this film was in the dark parts, the lights shone really quickly upon their faces, for example when they were in the carts/carriges being taken to the camp. So that we couldn’t actually identify who the character was properly.

I think that the characters were well played and I felt there sorrow when they were sad and their happiness when they were happy. Hannah is a very caring and gentle yet determined character who seemed to keep changing and becoming more aware of whats happening in the world today as the film progressed. The character which I disliked, would be ofcourse the Nazi soldiers who were cruel and nasty to all the Jews that were trembling with fear, whether they were going to die or not.

Two hours later Melvin awoke to the sound of a big truck, Melvin looked down to see Alley the Elephant dropping off huge barrels full of glue for the Arts and Crafts shop, she left them just next to the generator then set off towards the gymnasium to drop off the water supplies.  Melvin got to his feet and stretched looking up onto the roof of the arts and crafts shop, he saw a reflection of something shiny so he automatically leaped up onto the roof, and it was a skylight.  Melvin leaned on the skylight peering through; “craaccck” the sky light was breaking so Melvin got a fright and jumped backwards flying of the roof and straight into a barrel of glue. 

Melvin flew out of the barrel fully covered in sticky white glue.   He panicked and ran to the door of the Arts and Crafts shop thinking it was open, and he ran straight bang into the door and fell to the ground, but wasting no time, with a bit of concussion, he ran to the next shop which was the barber shop.   Since it was the end of the week they were throwing out all the hair from their clients, so it was in a big pile next to the door waiting for Alley the elephant to come pick it up.  Melvin ran inside for help before the glue dried all over him forever. He missed the sign that said “caution slippery floor” in all of his frustration and went sliding right into the big pile of hair.  Melvin woke up five minutes later with a big bump on his hairy head.  He slowly stood to his feet and got a big shock to find that he had hair from his head to his toes, and thought “now I will never ever be cold again”.

THE END

I really enjoyed the light party and I cannot wait till next year!!

Recently we have been learning about China and China’s human rights. My essential question is Tibet has always been a part of China. Here is what I think…

At prize giving I think our school came in around second or third in the year eight boys.  Then we came back to school and our car had a ice-cream at Mc Donalds then we got changed then went back into our classrooms. I had a great day and hope to go next year!

I had a great time at crosscountry and can’t wait for next time.

The next day I had to go for a rehearsal for a different wedding next weekend and I have to walk up the aisle first up on to the stage and we also get to go in a limo!!! I can’t wait!!

After that in the next section we went down to the netball courts and I played goalkeepers against Saige who is really good, I played pretty well and got lots of intercepts.  I thought I had a good chance of getting in because I was already in inter-intermediate netball.  She said she had loads of girls trial and said she would cut the number down and have another trial to find a team for year sevens and eights.  I looked on the hall today and my name was there thankfully.  The next trial is tomorrow on Wednesday so I hope I get in!!
