...Effects of the Holocaust on Survivors’ Hundreds of people die each day. Two-thirds of the Jewish population were killed, not a big deal, right? Six million people died in a matter of four years because of a one ERRONEOUS idea created by a horrendous man. That number is baffling. Not many people who believed in the Jewish faith made it out alive, anti-semitism, but the people who didn't die are being affected in many ways. The people who were involved in the Holocaust should have gotten a lot more help than they did at first. Anything would have helped them, even a loaf of bread. Many survivors continue to suffer from the effects of the Holocaust; the world should have done something to stop these horrible effects on people such as survivor's...

...dancer; but I can by tones, for I am a musician.” said Mozart. Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, more commonly known as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was born on January 27, 1756, in Salzburg, Austria. Mozart was the only surviving son of violinist Leopold Mozart and his mother Maria Pertl Mozart and had only one sister, Maria Anna, who was nicknamed Nannerl. Starting music at a young age, his father quickly realised that Mozart had a talent after teaching Mozart the keyboard. Mozart composed his first composition at the young age of 5. Later on in his life, he was appointed an assistant concertmaster. He has also played for royalty and his music influenced a lot of composers later on. Mozart died at the early age of 35 on December 5, 1791. Some reasons why he is the greatest composer in history is that he only lived to the age of 35, while Bach lived to the age of 65, he had learned more instruments than Bach, and the Mozart Effect....

...state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning "sacrifice by fire." Adolf Hitler and the German Nazis were responsible for the innocent people who had died during this tragic time. The Nazis set up giant prisons called concentration camps, where prisoners were starved, tortured, and worked to death. Approximately nine million Jews lived in the twenty-one countries. It is impossible to know the real amount of people who died, but six million is a estimate. The Jews were not a threat, they were people who lived in a society where they were alone, hurt, and died brutally in the Holocaust, for no reason....

...The novella Animal Farm by George Orwell symbolizes the Russian revolution and how power in the hands of people who are self serving is dangerous. Although knowledge and education can bring great changes, in the wrong hands this power is extremely dangerous, people with power could withhold information and keep others uneducated, those in power can make or breaks laws whenever they want, and people with power will discriminate against those without power. In Animal Farm Napoleon had power and he withheld a great deal of information from the other animals. He never really taught them all how to read, so he could change the commandments easier if nobody could read. The animals didn’t know he was changing the commandments. He didn’t tell them...

...Because people were living longer, New England had a higher white population in 1700 than Maryland and Virginia, despite the fact that only 21,000 colonists arrived in New England compared to the 120,000 that went to the Chesapeake Bay colonies in the seventeenth century (Textbook). Virginia had problems immediately after being colonized. The land was low and the water was brackish, so people couldn’t drink it. On top of this, malarial mosquitoes swarmed the area and spread diseases. From 1618-1624, it’s estimated that 28 percent of the population died each year (Document 8). Most people lived along the James River estuary, and many of these people died of disease each year. Interestingly, nearly half the colony lived in a freshwater/saltwater zone. However, the freshwater/saltwater zone had a...

...happiness. Lewis’ mother died in 1908 when Lewis was only ten years old. His father was never the same after she passed away. Around that time Lewis and his brother were enrolled in boarding school. While at boarding school Lewis became an atheist, which changed his life drastically. During World War I Lewis became very close friends with a man named Paddy Moore. Sadly, Paddy died fighting in the war. Soon after that, Lewis was wounded and was discharged. When Lewis returned home he followed up on a promise that he had made to Paddy that he would take care of Paddy’s mother and sister. Mrs. Moore treated Lewis like a son.

Lewis) In 1939 during World War II Lewis and his brother took in children from London seeking refuge from bombings. During that time Lewis wrote one of his greatest books called “The Screwtape Letters”. It was one of Lewis’ best books, but he admits that it was difficult to write.

...as God’s son, a man of wisdom and who was killed to save others of their sins. I will be writing about the life and deaths, and the differences between Jesus and Muhammad and what they mean to the religious people that follow them. Jesus Jesus Christ was born to the Virgin Mary (0 BCE) in Bethlehem in a stable with animals. Jesus’s mother Mary was married to a man name Joseph who was a carpenter in Bethlehem. Jesus’s life and death were written in the Bible. As an adult he became a carpenter in the town of Nazareth. At the age of 30 Jesus was baptized by John and was said to have been followed by the first disciples. The names of Jesus’s disciples are Peter, Andrew, James, and John. Jesus informed his disciples that they had to give up all their material things in order to follow him and live the life the right way. He later became a public speaker and taught God’s word and was said to perform miracles. The miracles that was said Jesus had performed were turning water to wine, giving the blind their sight, walking on water, healing those who were paralyzed, turning fish and bread into enough food to feed many people, and to take the demons out of people who were possessed. He told the people that God was a forgiving God for those who asked for forgiveness of their sins. With the amazement of his followers and enemies Jesus lived a life that was pure with no sin. He was a man that never bragged about himself and always helped people who were poor. With all that Jesus was...

...Alaina Robbins Speech of Tribute Good morning class. My name is Alaina Robbins and today I am here to tell you about a young girl who lived through one of the most tragic events known to mankind, and who’s legacy is still talked about to this day. I would like to start off with a quote “I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains. My advice is: go outside, to the fields, enjoy nature and the sunshine. Think of all the beauty that’s still left in an around you and be happy.” This quote is by Anne Frank, a girl of Jewish descent who experienced first hand the harsh realities of the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a catastrophic event that shook the entire world, as Adolf Hitler demanded the execution of several million European Jews. Hitler deemed the Jews as those of an inferior race who served as a threat to purity of the German community according to history.com. On biography.com it indicated that Anne’s real name was Annelies Marie Frank. It also stated that she was born on June 12, 1929. She was born in Frankfurt, Germany but as anti-semitic pressures increased in their home country they moved to the Netherlands. Anne lived with her two parents and her sister, Margot, in Amsterdam in the time leading up to Nazi Occupation preceding WWII. During World War II, Anne Frank and her family went into hiding along with another family when she was thirteen as to avoid persecution by the Nazis.

...by knockout, 12 of them in the first round. Early life Tyson was born in Brooklyn, New York City. He has a brother, Rodney, who is five years older than he is.[9] His sister, Denise, died of a heart attack at age 24 in 1990.[10] Tyson's father is listed as "Percell Tyson" on his birth certificate,[11] but the man Tyson had known as his father was Jimmy Kirkpatrick. In 1959, Jimmy Kirkpatrick left his family and moved to Brooklyn, where he met Tyson's mother, Lorna Smith Tyson. Mike Tyson was born in 1966.[13] Kirkpatrick abandoned the Tyson family around the time Mike was born, leaving Tyson's mother to care for the children on her own.[14] Kirkpatrick died in 1992.[15] The family lived in Bedford-Stuyvesant until their financial burdens necessitated a move to Brownsville when Tyson was 10 years old.[16] Tyson's mother died six years later, leaving 16-year-old Tyson in the care of boxing manager and trainer Cus D'Amato, who would become his legal guardian. Tyson later said, "I never saw my mother happy with me and proud of me for doing something: she only knew me as being a wild kid running the streets, coming home with new clothes that she knew I didn't pay for. I never got a chance to talk to her or know about her. Professionally, it has no effect, but it's crushing emotionally and personally."[17] Throughout his childhood, Tyson lived in and around high-crime neighborhoods. According to an...

...25 November 2015 The Greatest Man That’s Ever Lived Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Ronald Reagan. These are just some of the few men considered to be the greatest man that’s ever lived. When I think of the greatest man that ever lived I don’t think of those names. I think about my grandfather, Roberto Littaua, but I called him Lolo Bob. He died ten years ago, January 29, 2005, from a brain tumor in the Philippines. That was a tragedy for my family and I, especially for me because I was still young, and I could have done so much more with him. A memory I remember was how he would smile whenever he saw me at my happiest times like one Christmas day when I was playing with a new toy I got, as he sat in his rocking chair, and just smiled. If I recall clearly, the toy I was playing with was a Redbox Semi-Truck Goodyear toy that would carry 40 cars, with 20 cars on each side of the truck. I would drag the truck around, and even grab the cars off the truck. Lolo Bob didn’t really say much because he was not much of a talker, but I remember clearly how he looked like. He was dark skinned, bald headed, but often had a wig on, and roughly 5’10”. That was a good time to live through. So what is the other memory I remember? Well that’s simple. The time when he had taught my brother and I how to play basketball. Basketball is a big thing that runs on both sides of my parents’ family. First, it was Lolo Bob who played basketball, and he became a national champion...

...the world. Some of those major events occurred in the 20th century. One of those events was the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. A second event would be South Africa under apartheid. At the end of World War II, there were the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in 1945. Before these two bombing occurred, the United States bombed 67 Japanese cities, and then finally when the Japanese government ignored the fact that the US wanted Japan to surrender, the US fired these two bombs. The affects on Japan were huge. 90,000-166,000 people were killed in Hiroshima, and 60,000-80,000 people were killed in Nagasaki. Still after the bombings many people were dying in hospitals from burns and other causes which affected the country because of its loss of population. Then finally on August 15, Japan declared its surrender and that ended World War II. A survivor described the damage of the bombing on Hiroshima: “The appearance of people was . . . well, they all had skin blackened by burns. . . . They had no hair because their hair was burned, and at a glance you couldn't tell whether you were looking at them from in front or in back. . . . They held their arms bent [forward] like this . . . and their skin - not only on their hands, but on their faces and bodies too - hung down. . . . If there had been only one or two such people . . . perhaps I would not have had such a strong impression. But wherever I walked I met these people. . . . Many of them died along the road -...

Bartolomeo walked over the small, deconstructed area of brick over to where Piero was standing and bent down. "It's definitely some sort of bones. The question is who or what's bones. I'm not entirely sure who lived here before it was abandoned. We'll have to report this to the captain, I bet he knows who might have been looking for this." Bartolomeo sat down across the seat from the police captain, Francesco. "You know those bones you found earlier this week in the abandoned house on Via Volterrana?" Francesco asked Bartolomeo. "Yes, of course. Did you identify whose bones they were?" "No, not necessarily. We...
