Courage for beginners and Anne frank
I'm comparing and contrasting the play Anne Frank and the book Courage for Beginners. In the book Courage for Beginners the main character Mysti Murphy's mom has a fear of going outside or in public places. Mysti's mom always stays inside. When she needs something she has her husband get it. Mysti dad ends up getting really sick and has to go to the hospital. Well he's in the hospital Mysti has to get her the stuff she needs. In the Anne Frank play Anne and her family has to hide away. Anne's family has friends that brings them food and news about what is happening outside. The difference in these two reading is in Courage for Beginners she chooses to stay inside and never to go out. In Anne Frank they have no choice they have to stay inside if they don't want to get captured and killed. If Anne Frank didn't go into hiding the Germans would of found them way quicker then they did. Mysti's mom can go out anyday and anytime because she's not being forced to stay inside. These are how the play Anne Frank and the book Courage for Beginners is the same and different.

Faceless
I just got done reading faceless and it is one of my favorite books. If you are ever looking for a book to read you should try faceless. In the book she can't get over the fact that she will never be the same as before when she looks in the mirror she looks like a totally different person. Image waking up one morning and looking in the mirror and seeing a different person. Everyone remembers how she looked before and now hey see her totally different. In the book it says,"You have to learn to love yourself before you can love someone else because it's only when we love ourselves that we feel worthy of some else's love." she had to realize she needed to love herself again and accept the way she looked before she can love anyone else.
Faceless
Faceless is about a girl who got her face burned off in a electrical fire. Her face was burned so badly that some tissue in her face actually died. She is 16 years old and her name is Maisie. She has to take over 23 pills a day just to live and she also has to go back to school. The way her face was burned off is one morning she ws running through her neighborhood when a storm started to happen the Lightning hit the pole and the pool shot down fire and her burned her face and now there is nothing there but scars. In this book there is a lot of conflict. Some of the conflict is about Maisie. Some of the conflict with going to school because no one really accepts her because she if different and she looks different. People also talk about her because her face is burned.

Genocides
Genocides happen because I think the county does not have a strong enough government to not have a genocide happen. If the countries had a strong enough government they can make a genocide not happen. The reason genocides happen is when a group don't like another group of people and they don't want them to live anymore or just want to touture them.

Anne frank adversity
I face the same adversity that Anne faced because she faces always fighting with her mom. I also fight with my mom. She also gets blamed for a lot of things and so do I. Are adversity is different because I am not hiding away and can never go outside.
Holocaust question
Many people stood by because they didn't want anything to happen to them. I probably would of sat by and watched because I wouldn't want to get killed. If you were a up-stander you were risking your life. Many people did stand up though because they couldn't just sit around watching people get killed and token from there home. The up-standers would be very sneaky so they wouldn't get caught but even some of them did get caught and they would get killed.
