Hiding Day 2

It is day number two of me being in hiding because of my religion. I am even more terrified than I was yesterday. The reason why I am so terrified is because they are now starting to search for the Seventh Day Adventists some what near the area where I am. By they I mean the Catholics. If they find me I have no clue what the will do to me. The could lock me up, torture me, and even worse they can kill me.

I have learned that Catholic did not always refer to the Roman Catholic Church. The c was not even capitalized. The word catholic use to refer to universal. Universal meant everyone. We were all Catholics until the Catholic Church decided to change everything and were not focusing completely on God. This is when we started having the different denominations. The division is destroying our credibility. We need to cry together like Joseph. We need to become united again like we once were. We need to put our focus back on god. Well goodbye for now diary I will write in you again soon... MAYBE.

Why I Am Going Into Hiding

Hiding Day 1
Today I am going into hiding and I have no clue how long I will be hiding for. The reason why I am going into hiding is because I am a Seventh Day Adventist. We who are Seventh Day Adventists are all in danger. Some of the restrictions are that I cannot by or sell anything, I can not go to some school, and I can not hang out at my friends houses anymore who are not Seventh Day Adventist. I can't even have a bible. 
These are just some of the reasons as to why I am leaving. I cannot take any of these new laws that they have made. I are trying to imprison me for my religion. What ever happened to freedom of religion. Does no one remember this being written down in an important document. I wonder how these people who are trying to imprison me would feel if someone was trying to take away everything they loved. I bet that they would not like it one bit. They might even start a riot are war. I am just thankful that there is a God above who will protect me and also the other Seventh Day Adventist people through these hard times.

The Holocaust... What I know about it

I learned that the holocaust was the killing of 9 million Jews. These Jews were taken from their homes and put in concentration camps. They suffered so much pain while in their. The women were separated from the men. There were times when the guards would gather up some Jews and put them into a gas chamber. In her they would throw in a type of gas that would burn all of the Jews and basically make them into dust. I also learned that the reason why or at least on reason why Hitler did this was because he was part Jewish and he hated his own people.

I learned this information from 5 sources. This first source was Hanna's Suitcase. The next source was the Boy in the Stripe Pajamas. I read the book and watched the movie version of it. I also read Anne Frank and watch the movie. I watched these movies at my old school many times and we went to a Holocaust museum for a field trip one year so that we could find out more information about this tragic even that took place. What I would like to know about the Holocaust that I do not already know is who is the oldest Holocaust survivor

Freedom Writers

In class our teacher showed us a movie called Freedom Writers. It is based on the book The Freedom Writer's Diary. It is a true story about students who are all but one in different gangs. They are trying to survive in the lifestyle they are in. They come to school everyday and school is the only place where they can be some what "safe." If was very hard for them to trust their teacher Erin Gruwell, but in the end they never wanted to leave her. She also got them to become a family. She inspired them and made their lives better.
