A couple of days ago I finished reading a book called "The Devils's Arithmetic" The book is about a little Jewish girl named Hannah Stern who is living in New Rochelle. She and her family go visit her grandfather's home who had just passed away. Her grandfather lived in a concentration camp and would always talk about it and how he lived and how he was treated. While she was there she open the door for the prophet Elijah, and she was transported to Poland 1942. She was put in a concentration camp. She took the place of her grandfather and relived what her grandfather did. "In the camp she meet a girl named Rivka. In the story both girls help each other out to make sure none of them get chosen to be killed. In the end of the story Hannah finally comes back home and realizes that some of the people she meet in the concentration camp are the same people she lives with now. The reason this book is important is because it talks about how horrible the Jewish people where treated and it also show a clear image of how they lived and how terrible the concentration camps really where.

A major problem in our community is stray animals. About 70 million animals live on the streets of America. Many animals have been abandoned, born, or gotten lost and are now living on the side of the road. I’m interested in this issue because me and my mom have seen and rescued a couple animals. Which means there are many more who live on the streets forever because their owners never find them. Other people should care because the dogs that do live on the street are more likely to get diseases like rabies and could bite people. Issue (The issue with people are the say,”Grace smelled bad. Charlie was too affectionate. Max liked to kill chickens. Xerox humped pillows.) Since 2010, nearly 1,000 animals have been returned to the Wake County Animal Center in Raleigh, some as many as four times. Just like Grace, Max, Charlie and Xerox, each animal has a story, a reason it was returned. The sad thing is that people do not know their backstory. People might not know they might have been treated badly and they might just be looking for someone to love. We treat them wrong that is the issue. (Each time a pet is brought back, shelter employees ask the owner what went wrong and record the reason in a computer system. WRAL News reviewed five years of the shelter's logs, which are public record, and got a glimpse into the sometimes revolving door of animal adoption. Shelter director Jennifer Federico examined some of the cases as well and often shook her head as she read through the files. "This one, this one killed me," she said, scrolling through the cases on her computer. "We had one person return an animal because it got too big. I'm like, 'We told you it was a Mastiff mix.)( wral news) It is bad that people mistreat animals but the sad thing about it is that you don't even give them a chances. Just like people animals need love to we all need to show love to pets so they don't feel like trash.people don't give animals a chance we need to not find love in are pets. the issue is that people do not like how animals smell or do thing and that is sad how people act like that. We need to find some solutions to help the animals and we need to elements all of the issue and find solutions to all of the issues. Soultions In our community there are many organizations trying to help homeless animals find a loving home. There is an organization called C.A.R.E for animals located in raleigh nc that has many programs where people can help animals. Like if you want rescue and adoption a homeless animal there is a program called “ the pet connection “. There is another program called “youth & pets together “ that is for youth groups that want to volunteer. The program is to help educate young kids from ages 11-17 learn about important aspects of animal welfare. Not to forget for all the “ cat lovers” out there this organization also has a program for cats called “Feral Friends “ this program helps educate to reduce the feral ( unsocialized ) cat overpopulation . In this organization you can also foster animals if you would like to save an animals life. There is another organization called Wake County animal care. That also helps take care of homeless animals. They do there best to help find a loving home for their animals. They are located here in Raleigh NC. All their volunteers do their best to help and you should too. The reason why we all as a community should care about this problem is because animals need love to just like people do. There are so many animals out there trying to find a loving home, trying to find someone to love and be loved back. May people just see animals as trash that you can just throw away, but they're not they have feelings. Even animals deserve a loving home. Biography

My friends see me as a shy person at times, but mostly as loud and annoying. My family would see me more as a outgoing person that is not afraid to stand up for things i believe in. They would also see me as the type of person that can be sensitive. I would also consider myself as trustworthy.
On march 8,2017 women all over the world are protesting a day without women. They are doing this to help commemorate the women rights movement. Which i think is a great thing because a lot of people sometimes forget that women are just as equal as men. What we can do to help is go to were the protest is being held and help support the women's protest. A day without women is really taking an impact on schools, a lot of teachers have said that they wont show up to work because they are going to protest. This is impacting schools because since most of the teachers are going to show up the students wont be able to learn. Which is a bad thing but it is help showing that women have an important role in schools.
In wake forest high school there was an incident between two students . Apparently one of the teen boy was saying racist things to the other teen which brought him to fight the other one. To be honest I consider that as bullying because so one should be treated unfairly like that based on their skin color. People can't control the color skin they are gonna be, they can't help if they are black, White, Mixed, etc. So the fact that people are still bullying others because of that is really messed up. Also the fact that some people think that is okay is even more messed up. Everyone should at least try to get along. No one is born racist it's the people that influence the person that makes them like that. The color of a person's skin does not define a person, the types of shoes that a person wears or the way their hair looks does not define that person. If only people saw the real beauty that a person has in the inside this world would be a whole lot better.
