This year.

The school year is already almost over. Its cray how fast the school year by. Just yesterday it seemed like we were starting this blogging "experiment". But yet here we are, at the end of this prosperous and glorious year. By the hammer of Thor and the shield of captain America and the rage of the hulk, the suit of the Iron Man, the gun of the Black Widow, and the bow of Hawkeye this was a good year. I have really enjoyed the blogging of this year instead writing boring papers. At first, i was skeptical to say the least about doing blogs, probably because i had never done anything like this before. I was like a kid going to kindergarten for the first time, I didn't know whether to be excited or to cry. Luckily it wasn't as bad as i thought it, it was actually fun! I really have enjoyed doing blogs this year and it has brought new enjoyment and creativity not only into writing but also reading as well. I'm glad i had this class so i could enjoy this with everyone else.

Alot of the book is about how life changed after Hitler came to power. So this link is about Hitler's rise to power to tell about the change in Germany.

This is another link describing everyday life in Nazi Germany and this is important to understand because the book is based on a true story.

This is just a quick summary of The Boy Who Dared in case somebody hasn't  read the book they can get a quick jist of the book.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extermination_camp
Because the story is told by Helmuth while he is in a concentration camp so it gives a little perspective on what those are like.

This article is specifically about the life in a concentration camp. Just to give people a better perspective on that.
