Elie Wiesel is a figure that most should look up to. A man that survived the Holocaust of World War II. Wiesel wrote a book called "Night", that talks about what he had to experience and the destruction and hate he was unfortunate enough to see.

Holocaust

2010-05-19T07:11:00.000-07:00

The term Holocaust means to me that it is a tragic event that occurs. When I think of the word Holocaust I first think of World War II and the murdering of close to 6 million jews. I also think of just a large group of individuals dying against their will, whether it be a natural accurance or a mass murder as suggest in cults. The word Holocaust means much more than what the average person believes. Holocaust still live on today in the modern world, depending what you believe is considered a Holocaust. Many people see 9/11 and the Sunami as a modern day Holocaust event.

Prom

2010-04-13T06:26:00.000-07:00

Prom will be a night to remember, from taking a date that you really like or just taking a friend. You won't forget your prom night. There's dancing, socializing, and pictures with your date and all your friends.

1920's

2010-04-13T06:08:00.000-07:00

I don't think i would want to live in the 1920's because of the hard times people went through. Even though there a lot of new experiences and inventions there were hard times also. In the 1920's, the kkk peaked reaching millions of members across the nation. The biggest world wars were also around this which changed America forever.

My Junior year is coming to a close

2010-03-18T06:16:00.000-07:00

Being in the fourth 9 weeks of my junior year is really somthing to remember and has also really opened my eyes. I never could have thought that this year would go by so fast. From starting on the football team as a junior to joining the trap shooting team, it has really been somthing i will keep with me for a long time. Nine weeks is not a long time, espically when your going to school and the weeks fly by. Before i know it, it will be summer, and then I will be starting my last year in high school before I head up to Conway to go to school and be with my sister and my friends. It's going to be some of the best years of my life but I will never forget high school.

Random-Pioneer Football

2010-02-16T06:19:00.000-08:00

The tradition of the Batesville pioneers has thrived throughout the years with many winning seasons along the way. During the 2009 season the pioneers suffered some hardships, ending the season with a 5-4-1 record. This was the first time in years that we did not make the playoffs. Heart broken but still willing the juniors are stepping it up in the offseason. With almost the whole defense returning, and most of the offense returning, the pioneers are looking foward to a dominating season that will put the schools tradition back on track.

civil war

2010-01-20T06:35:00.001-08:00

Before my sister went off to college, we would sometimes have a civil war amongst each other. Mostly verbal, but sometimes physical about whos phone charger was in the kitchen or who got to take a shower next. The physical fights were hard blows like a jack hammer at construction sight or a boxing with match with Mike Tyson.

crucible

2009-12-15T17:58:00.000-08:00

The crucible is a story of people in the early town of Salem where witch craft is being investigated and a certain person by the name of John Proctor and his wife Elizabeth have been accused of it. They try to make a stand as people in their own community have already been hung.

bullying

2009-12-15T17:56:00.000-08:00

I think bullying is wrong, even though you may the bigger, stronger person that's no reason to pick on a smaller, weaker person. The bullying needs to put themselves in their shoes and see how unfair it is to be the weaker person.

2009-11-19T07:05:00.000-08:00

Touching spirit bear

2009-10-29T18:22:00.000-07:00

This book was good, because it shows the reader than even people who arn't great people at heart can turn their lives around. It also had a good story behind it. It was about and young boy who has been in trouble most of his life and beats up a kid at school, and instead of jail time. They make a deal with him that he can spend a year on an island alone, to help find himself and make his life better.

Harry potter and the sorcerors stone

2009-10-29T18:19:00.000-07:00

This book was year one of the series and it helped me understand the concept of it. I enjoyed this book because it isnt something that could happen in real life which made it interesting and fun to read. I'm going to try to read more of these books. It was about how harry survived and made his way to the school of hogwarts where he meets new friends and has adventures of his own.
