Dear Pres. Roosevelt

Dear President Roosevelt,
Hi, my name is Isabel. I am an American Jew living in Milwaukee. As a jew, I feel that we should let the passengers of the US St. Louis into America. The people on the ship are trying to commit suicide, they have nowhere else to go except back to Germany, where concentration camps await them. Only 30 of the passengers were allowed into Cuba. Jewish immigrants have done a lot for America and if we don’t let the Jews in we can lose the skills they have. I feel as a Jew we should let all the Jews on the US St. Louis into America.

Sincerely,
Isabel

Nuremberg Laws

 

1. How would you summarize the purpose of the Nuremberg Laws?

The first three sections were about keeping Jews and Germans separated. Jews weren’t allowed to marry Germans in order to keep “German blood”. Jews also weren’t allowed to employ a young female German to prevent anything happening.

2. How did the laws you read and discussed contribute to creating the type of “national community” that the Nazis desired?

The Jews were separated from the Germans so that there wouldn’t be any Jewish German people. They would only be “pure Germans”.

 

8th One Pager Summer Reading Assessment

Explain three choices you made on your one-pager which show your comprehension of the book or what you learned from the book

I choose to put the pink headphones on to Natashas side because that was pretty much how Natasha and Daniel met. I put the DUI sign on because when Natasha’s dad was driving under the influence he got a ticket and that’s how the government found out they were overstaying their travel visa. I put the stethoscope on Daniels side because his parents want him to go to Harvard and then become a doctor, but Daniel wants to be a poet instead.

Explain how you used color on your mind map.

I used the color on Daniels red tie because if the tie was any other color it wouldn’t have made as much sense. I the book they bring up Daniels red tie a lot and that’s even what Natasha calls Daniel “red tie” for a while. I colored both Natashas headphones and phone pink because in the book the emphasize that her phone case and headphones. I wanted to color Daniels notebook black just like in the book but if I wanted to write in the book I had to leave the book blank.

Explain two pieces of textual evidence and why you choose that text for your one-pager.

I used the quote “I don’t believe in the love” on Natashas side because over and over again in the book the tells the reader that she only believes in science and facts. The Quote “love is just chemicals and coincidence” in my opinion I feel like that shows what Natasha thinks of love.

Which learning goal did you do your best work on? Which one do you find challenging?

I think I did the best on managing my time because in the past I have trouble with time management. I think I had a hard time summarizing the text. Because I didn’t really summarize at all on my one-pager.

My Jewish Identity

It was kinda fun to put the sand in the bottle but I don’t really think it helped that much with finding my Jewish identity. But I don’t really know much about my Jewish identity so it’s hard to reflect.  But it was fun to do the project.
