"NIght" By:Elie Weisel (Poland)

In the story "Night" the region is told about kind of a lot.  The region of the places it was from is very different from eash other.  In Poland they were in the Aushwitz a concentration camp and it was not pretty.  In the camp it was dirty and people (mostly Jews) were dieing.  That was a bad place and region to live in.

The thing I will remember longest from this book is how Elie was save from the camp and got to tell his story of what really happen at the camp to the Jews.  The images that will be with me forever is when they killed the babies in the beginning of the book, the part when his father was beated,and the end went the rest of the Jews were saved and set free in the world.  The book has change my thinking by the thing I didn't know they did to the Jews.  The saddest part of the book is when they were taking the child away from there mother and never seeing them again.

"The Youngest Doll" By:Rosario Ferre ( Puerto Rico )

The story "The Youngest Doll" says that the region is near a river and that river was used a lot by the old lady. In the story says that women are not treated right by the men.  The old lady is also making dolls for all her sister's childen and the dolls are so life like.  Near the end of the story the doctor's son that come with his dad to help the old lady, married the youngest of her sister's children. At the end it seems like the wife of the doctor's son is a doll.

A tme in my life I was terrified was went I was watching a super scaried movie.  The scarest movie I ever saw was "Freddy Vs Jason" and I think it was scare because Freddy had knife hands and Jason had a very scare mask.  Mostly all movies with horror have killing and blood parts.

"The Handsomest Drowned Man In the World" By: Gabriel Garcia Marquez ( Columbia )

The story says that the people lived in a small village and everyone knows eashother. Also it tells that the people of the village lived by a river because of the drowned man.  The story is trying to say that the women wish there husbands were more like the dead man. The men in the story hate the dead man and want to kill the man again. By the end of the story they find the dead mans village.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

The kind of funeral I want is my family and friends to be around and to just be put in the ground and never touched again because I want people who care for me to be around and noone wants to touch a dead body.  No because I never remember being at a funeral. That they don't look at it in a bad way.

"No Dogs Bark" By:Juan Rulfo (Mexico)

In "No dogs bark" the region was like rocky and many small towns. They also have arroyo witch is a narrow gulch, dry except during heavy rain. in the story an old man was taking his hurt son to the closes town to get him to the doctor. The man asked his son if he hears any dogs barking tell his, but when he hears the dogs his does not tell his father because that means they are close to a town and does not want to.  The son does not want to because he did bad things in his life and he wanted his dad to just put him down and let him die, but the dad will not. By the end they find a town.

 The kind of parent I will be is a good and hardworking parent. I will make sure that my kides act right.  How I will deal with my teenage son/daughter is when they are bad I will yell at them and sent them to there room and they can't came out till I say so. Maybe I like Igancios father because I would always be there to help me kid.

"Borders" By Thomas King (Canada)

In the story "Borders" I learned that in Canada they have Native Americans called Blackfoot. And to cross in to America or Canada you had to be on of the two.  In the story they told use about how a Blackfoot mom and son tried to pass the border, but would not say if  if she was American or Canadan. The mother was crossing the border to see Latitia in Salt Lake City,but seens she would not say American or Canadan so she could not go there. By the end the mom and son could go and see Latitia because of the press and people behide the car.

My nationality because that is what you are born int to and what people see you as . Like me I am an American and people here and from around the world see me as an American.
