Video Games

Video games are good because you can learn more from some but some other games like Call of Duty don`t teach you anything. I think that almost all video games people play these days are almost all bad but there are still some that are good and not very many people play the educational games anymore. I think that people should play more educational ones every now and then instead of always playing the non-educational ones.

Holocaust Hope

In chapter 5, Daniel's father said that the radio was really important to the family. He said that it gave them hope and...
"Hope was more important than bread."
What did he mean? Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

I think he meant that without hope they would die.You won`t die if you run out of bread because you can get more. But once you lose hope you can`t just buy more. I think that he also wanted them to keep their hopes high so they won`t lose hope and give up. I agree with Daniels father in "Daniels Story" because he is right, if we didn`t have hope we would die because we won`t have hope that we can stay alive. Hope is more important than bread because you can eat bread and get it back but you can`t get hope back that easy. Some things that gave them hope was Erikas violin music and the radio.

The Importance of Literacy

Literacy is very important in everyday life because without it I have no idea where we`d be. If we didn`t have literacy we would have almost no way to communicate with today's technology. In order to blog, email,use facebook or twitter you will have to know how to read and write. I think that today's literacy is very low because not very many people know how to read even when they are in high school. I think our literacy level is so low because many people drop out of high school and many don`t go to university or even graduate high school. I think the key to success in life is to read alot and write everyday so your literacy level stays high. I personally love to read but I don`t like writing quite as much as reading.
