Tolerance= The ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.
I can be more tolerance by just keeping comments to my self and accepting people for who they are. In my own words I think that being tolerance means to accept others that believe in different things that are different from you. For example being a vegetarian. I have a vegetarian friend and I accept her being a vegetarian and she accepts me eating meat. Not being tolerance is like my friend forcing me being a vegetarian or the other way around.

Is It Night or Day?(Summary&theme) BLOG#2
In my last blog of "Is It Night or Day", we met a young 12 year-old Jew girl, Edith. Edith is moving from Germany to America because of the terrible things that are going on in Germany 1938 , to Jews. And she will be doing this all by herself. Now that she moved from Germany to America, Edith has now have to fit in America. With school, friends,food,and jobs etc. Edith also worries about the larger issues of what she has to face and over come,but she also worries about every 12 year old girl worries about: clothes,boys,etc. When she is in america she writes a lot of letters to her parents and her best friend Mina. Mina soon replies back saying that in Germany its been getting worst for Jews. What will happen to Edith in america? Will she be able to get sponsors for her family? Will she be able to find her sitter in America?
In my book " Is It Night or Day", has a lot of themes in clouding, war, and life changes but one that really stood out was discrimination. I think that discrimination in the theme of my book "Is It Night or Day" because in the book Mina, Edith friends always sends her letters about what has been happening in Germany. For example she says "Your family was forced to leave your home in the village three weeks ago. Now they are living in an apartment building in Darmstadt with six other Jews from nearby villages, an SS guard watches the apartment day and night and sometimes the six of them must do work at local factories." This is important because it shows how in Germany its been changing since she left from America. It also shows how she needs to find money and sponsors in order to get them out of Germany before something worst happens.

Is It Night Or Day(Summary&Conflicts) Blog #1
In my book " Is It Night Or Day”, we
meet a twelve-year old girl Edith. Her family has been living through some
tough times. This book takes time when Hitler was taking over Germany and other
people who weren't German were discriminated; for example, Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies,
and Disabled People. Edith never knew what was going on. The only
thing she knew is that nobody like her and that her sister, Betty, moved to
America. One day the discrimination became worse. Jews weren't able to go to
public places. Like pools, cinema, or ride their bikes. So Edith parents knew
that it was a sign, Vati and Mutti, were discussing on what they should do and
where they should go, but the problem was that Vati mother never wanted to
leave. She says," I was born in Germany and I will die in Germany."
This was a big problem because if she wouldn't leave then so wouldn't Vati. So
for know Vati plans is to take Edith to America. Would she ever see her parents
again? Who would she live with?
In my book there is a lot of conflicts but one that really stuck out was external conflict, Man Vs. Society. I think its man vs. society because the book takes place during the time that Hitler was a live, so it was tough for Edith family since she was a Jew. For example in the book it says,"Mr. Lutz the man who owned the small movie theater just two blocks from our house, wouldn’t let me in. “Not today” he snapped, “Not tomorrow. Never, never again.” This is important because it shows how Jews were left out because of their religion. Another example is another public place where Edith would always go to, the pool. In the book it says, “Even though we were still living comfortably in our own house, a sign had gone up at our local swimming area: Jews not welcome here.” This is important because it’s another example on how unfair the Jews were treated.

Hope Was Here ( Summary&Theme)
In my
last blog about "Hope Was Here", I talk about the background of the 16 year old waitresses, Hope, and her aunt, Addie, which moved from Brooklyn to Wisconsin.
So far the boss G.T. (Gabriel Tomas) runs for mayor. G.T. Addie has so far has
tried so hard in the job she has changed some recipes in the restaurant and had
amazed G.T. They soon get together and so does Hope and the cook, Eddie. First
she rejected him because her mother always told her to not date the cook but
then wanted to test it out. The book takes place in the present. What will
happen to G.T. would he win the election? What will happen to the couples? What
would happen to G.T cancer?
In my book "Hope Was Here" there is a lot of themes through the book but one them that really stood out was hope. I think its hope because in the beginning of the book she changes it to Symbolizes her positive outlook on life. I know this because in the book she says, "People expect thing from Hopes that they don't expect from Pattys and Lisas and Danielles. People expect hopes to be cheerful and positive". This proves why she choose to name her self Hope because in her life she proves endurance and she looks forward in her life when there is a difficult situation. This is the reason why I think the theme is hope in my book “ Hope Was Here”
