The Big Surprise

It’s been four months since my sister’s surprise 9th birthday, and it was really entertaining planning it,because that day she was so happy and she had a lot of fun too.
First of all,my aunt,my mom,and I went to buy decorations for the party,while my sister went to the mall.Immediately after we finished buying decorations, my mom started hanging balloons everywhere. My aunt yelled, “Be right back” I answered, “Ok” After my aunt left I remembered that we forgot to buy a cake and I ran to my mom and shouted, “We forgot to buy a cake!”, “Its fine I’ll call your aunt so she can go buy one” she announced
Finally, after two hours, everything was done and my sister got back from the mall with a bunch of clothes. We all went to hide and when she came in we screamed, “Happy Birthday!” My sister was so happy and then she told my mom “Why didn’t you tell me anything!” “It was a surprise”,my mom announced. My sister started giving hugs to everyone and shouting, “Thank you everyone”
After the party was over my sister came up to me and admitted “You’re always be my favorite sister!” and I answer,”You will too.”
That day I was overjoyed with what my sister had told me, and I learned that always be happy no matter what.

Inside and Out

Left Out.

Need of Help.

Wounded.

Jealous.

Bullied.

Bang the table.

I’m mad.

Squeak.

The tornado I am.

I’ve given up.

No more trying.

I’m done.

With everything.

I am who I am.

One of a kind.

This is who I am.

 

Holocaust Lessons

In the Holocaust I learn that people don’t have to be treated different, they should be treated the same way everybody else likes to be treated. Some people may be different because they were sent to Auschwitz and many people that were sent there were killed.That doesn’t mean you have to treat them like it was there fault that they went their.You should treat them like you treat your friends or even family. Research shows that Germans killed Jews and people that they disliked.This is one thing that I learned, treat people the same way no matter what happened in their life.
Another thing that I learned was that there was a very hard life back then mainly because of Auschwitz. If you were Jewish or people that Germans did not liked they sent them to Auschwitz concentration/death camp.People there had to sleep in horrible conditions. When Germans didn’t need them anymore they just killed them. 1.1 million Jews were sent there and at least 960,000 were killed. This is what I learn that people had a hard time back then.

Number The Stars

Dear Diary,

October 1,1943

Today we were walking home from school and I told Ellen “ I’ll race you to the corner!” But Ellen said no because her legs were too short. I was like we have to practice for the athletic meet on Friday, and I was begging Ellen, then she said “Oh, all right. Ready, she said. “Go!”

I outdistance my friend quickly, even though my shoes came untied. The corner was just ahead. I looked up, panting, just as she reached the corner. My laugh stopped. I was about to run into a soldier, but I stopped immediately. Ellen stopped right after me. Far back, little Kirsti came running. There were two soldiers. One of the soldier ask “Why are you running?” “I was racing with my friend” I said.

The soldier ask me what was in my backpack and I said “School Books.” “Are you a good student” the soldier asked.“Yes” He kept asking me questions and then Ellen. Then the soldier said “Go home”,all of you.”Are you going to tell your mother?” Ellen asked. ‘’I’m not” When I got there it was too late Kirsti had already told everything to my mom. My mom said “What happened, Annemarie” I said “Nothing, don’t worry” I felt bad about lying to my mom, but she would get mad at me for talk with the soldiers                                   

                                                                               Talk to you later,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Annemarie

 

 

                          

 

The Crazy Cookie Dilemma

Every year on Christmas my family and I make cookies                    
I had so much fun making them this year with my cousins
Because my cousins would get icing and put it on my face
Also they would get flour and throw it at me
But I would throw some back
So it was taking us forever to make the cookies
Also my mom got us in trouble for throwing flour on the ground

After all that time playing around
We finally put them in the oven and then made hot chocolate
The hot chocolate was hot as fire
After the cookies were baked and hot chocolate was made
We finally sat down in the living room in front of the fireplace
And it was time to eat
The rest of the time we just talked

Similarities and Differences on Communicating with technology and in person

There are many similarities between communicating in person and using technology. Both ways of communicating a person can be creative.When you’re texting you can send internet expressions.Also you are talking to someone either way.My best friend talks to me when she needs help on her homework,or sometimes she texts me.Another similarity is communicating in person and technology can be time consuming.Once I stay like three months from calling my grandmother,so when I call her we stay talking on the phone for an hour and half. Also you are meeting new people when you’re texting them or talking to them. This year I met new friends and now we talk to each other when we’re doing a project together,or sometimes we text. Finally, the last similarity bullying can be present in both means of communication.

Communicating using technology and in person have many differences.One difference is distance for example communicating in person you need to be face to face to talk with another person.I talk to my friends every day, and for communicating with technology you have to video chat them. Trust is one problem with communicating, in person you can tell if they’re not lying about their identity. I know all my friends and what they like, and with communicating with technology it is easier to fool people.Once my cousin got fool he thought he was chatting with some his age it was a guy that was 57 years old.My third difference is emotion/mood for communicating in person body language and facial expression and for communicating with technology it is hard to tell someone’s tone.My fourth difference is hearing for communicating in person you can hear them better talking face to face,but with communicating with technology you can’t really hear them because sometimes it cuts her/his voice.
My last difference is connection with communicating in person you can connect and know them better,but with communicating with technology there is little emotional connection.
In our world remember to communicate with others no matter what way you decide to.
