The United States Assassination of Bin Laden and discussion Q's

I woke up monday morning went down stairs for my morning breakfast and found out that a group of USA navy seals dropped down from an airplane to capture the notorious Osama Bin Laden, and in the process of the capture they had to kill bin laden one of his wive's and one of his sons. It was very tragic but at the same time a relief to American citizens to know the cruel terrorist behind the november eleven airline crash into the twin towers and the pentagon is finally received his car-ma or justice. His body was dropped off into the ocean near american soil.
When I first found out about the airplane crash in New York I was in first grade and didn't really know how to react. My parents you could say acted for me with sorrow for those who died and are missing. I also didn't go to school that day because it was history in the making and a day to morn the death of thousands and a horrific tragedy in new york and that would scare the view of americans and terrorists for the rest of the human race. It also created wars and more soldier dying to find out who committed this source of genocide against the population of the united states of america.
 I believe that the death of a horrible man who killed thousands of americans and innocent bystanders is finally brought to justice and killed symbolizes the final chance to move on and rebuild ground zero and to finally move on from the tragic november eleventh when two airplanes crashed into the twin towers and killed thousands and when another airplane crashed into to the pentagon on a kamikaze corse to conflict pain and sorrow into the minds of every human being that is part of the United States of America.
When I got to school after finding out that on april 24th that the terrorists who streaked fear into the eyes of every american is finally dead it didn't surprise me how happy and joyful and relieved people really where. I was memorized by how many conversations they where talking about bin laden how thank god he's dead, or yippee bin laden is dead and people making songs about it and saying that in cod mw3 a level is about killing bin laden. Lots of people where stoked to know that the can finally move on an the hardship is over and that they can start building the twin towers again because t is a symbol of the nationalism and power that americans have.

Maus-Night Blogging Assignment

Maus-Night Blogging Assignment

In the same way that we discussed how Fallen Angels and Restrepo complemented each other, reflect on how Maus and Night serve as companion pieces. Look for emotional, thematic and literary connections that go beyond superficial similarities (e.g., both are about the Holocaust), and be sure to cite specific examples from both works as you progress towards a recommendation of whether classes should read one or the other or both. This blog must be posted by Mon, March 28.
This blog entry is worth points 15 points:

Maus is a story of life in the halacaust and the emotional an terrorizing feeling that you feel everday. It is a graphic novel describing a man and his family trying to survive the greatest genocide known to man kind. It talks about love when Vladek meets Anja and sorrow when Richieu dies. I believe that the class should between Night and Maus should read this book because I fell that guys are more intreged by this comic book rather then the full page novel in Night writen by Elie Wiesel.

Night is a book by Elie Wiesel that goes into a little more personal view on the Halaucaust an one 15 year ols life in the death camp Auschwitz. It tell of the horrors and the tragedies that happen everyday as if death was the norm. I believe that if a actual regular class was supposed to choose they should choose to read this book because it helps to fully understand life in detail during the holocaust. I believe that in a group of guys who read this that they should not read this because I believe that guys are more intreged by books life Maus that are comics than books like this that are full page novels.

I belive that Maus and Night are comparative iceces like Fallen Angels and Restrepo because they both talk about life in the holocaust and the death camp Auschwitz. Both books are very different in ho w the go through the average life an Auschwitz but the baseline is the same. They both talk about the arrival to the death camp and the emotionally sad and horrifing seperation from there families. The thought of there families and that they might even be dead was a constant thoguth between both books. Both books put great detail on the average day of hard labor and forceful gaurds who would kill and prisoner just for the fun of it. They both talk about how they had to deal with the gaurds and always do what they are told, and to be in tip top shape when the horrific selections came around. Overall both books are different in there unique singular ways but the topics and the average life in the death camps and the Holocaust are all the same.

comparison paper

1. Lots and lots of men die in the war in both of the stories. In the avalanche scene many men die and in the hill scene in fallen angels many men die.
2. In Restrepo they go on lots of patrols in fallen angels they go on lots of patrols too.
3. In Restrepo they where telling us how imprtant and how dangerous war is and they did the exact same thing in Fallen Angels.
4. Lots of sorrow in war.
5. Many innovcent men die for no apperent reason.
6. We dont really realize how improtant war really is.
7. Lots of close encounters in war.
8. Many men are hurt and slowly die.
9. Even the best men still die for no reasonas in both stories.
10. War is all about close encounters and long and short deaths.




These two stories taught me how important and how dangerous war can be and will always be. It taught me that many men die in war so that people in america can be free. That inoscent men die every day in the war and we americans dont really cherish them at all. This is what I learned from these two war stories.
