I+Have+Lived

May Thirtieth of the Two Thousand and Eighth Year Ten Eleven AM Today was the first discussion we had about our book. Sofia was the philosopher, Bismarck was the literary luminary, Ariel was the Character Captain, and Michal was the Historian. Qendresa was absent but she was the connector.

He chose a quote from the book. Pg 13. When he read this quote he assumed that Elli was not touchy and that was because of her mother. He mother did not show care and love to her and that made Elli feel ugly, and he brother to be the better sibling. Sofia wrote three questions that she wanted to ask the group. Her questions were based on human nature, and how that would affect someones ideas and beliefs. We related her ideas and how the time period and how the time period would also affect people's ideas. We also related Sofia's questions to Bismarck's quote. How Elli's mother would tell her she was ugly, and it would only be human nature for her to start to believe it. Ariel began to talk about the characters and his point of views on the characters. He explained how Elli had a very strong personality. She had a dream and she was going to do whatever she could to make it come true. Even though all the bad things she had to go through.

June th 7:36 p.m: Bismarck Pacheco Today was our second discussion we had about our book __I Have Lived A Thousand Years__ By:Livia Bitton-jackson. Ariel is Literary Luminary, Qendresa was character capitan but did the homework as Literary Luminary we decided to accept it and not to penalize her, Micheal Turula was Philosopher, Lenny was historian but he was absent. Today we attempted to relate our ideas towards our wheels that were given to us in class. We also connected present day to our book the genocide occuring in Darfur and the genocide occuring in our book we also questioned if it would matter if it was a different race that was being killed would people do something to helpor would it not matter. Also about four other genodides had occurred after the holocaust we continue to promise that this won't happen again yet they are occuring to present day.
 * Ariel began our conversation today, he spoke about the event were Elli's dad left to another camp and was never going to come back, he said that the this bring out both the best and the worst of people because, in this event of her father leaving the good side of her mother came out, her usually not being emotional and not comforting Elli. Now Elli's mom showed some emotion and tried to comfort her. He also siad this brings out the worst because "the fact that you lose someone close to, you feel sad they have to leave and become emotional sometimes hysterical and you act in the matter you feel."
 * Qendresa went nextshe relavant ideas to Ariel she had also stated how Elli's mother best came out and is beginning too think about her daughter differently.
 * Michal asked "what if" questions, questioning if she will change if somethingaround her changes.
