Our English class is studying the memoir Night , by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel . I worked in a group with Eva ,Pearl and Lillie to create an Empathy Map for Elie at this age. Elie Wiesel had a very religious Life and was well loved by his family. He was eager to learn about the Kabbalah and struggled to find a teacher. His farther wouldn't allow him to learn about it as he was to young. Although his family was religious he still had a happy life.
The Jewish People and the Jewish Religion We watched two videos about Judaism (the Jewish Religion) and the Jewish people. Some things I found out were That they only eat a selection of meat including cow,sheep,chicken and duck. One thing I thought was interesting was The fact That they don't eat Pig, rabbit, lobster and octopus. I find it so weird how they only eat some meat and not others. I would like to find out more about there culture and they was they lived. I want to know what it was like living as a Jew and if life was hard.
In English class we have been reading about the poem sad joke on a marae. It is about a man who is struggling and does not know much about his culture. The only Maori he new was Tihei Mauri Ora. this is the link for the poem I drew this because he said he the jail was his home.
