Reading times: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian: 160 minutes
Working times: 75 minutes

Over these last couple of weeks I have accomplished to narrow my topic down even more an make it about what Dr. Josef Mengele experiments were like in the Auschwitz concentration camp. I've been looking up more about these experiments and who were involved in them. Also been looking further into the medical treatments and terrible experiments.

My topic is about the experiments conducted by Dr. Josef Mengele and his Jewish medical assistants. Auschwitz was one of the main concentration camps because it was so much larger than all the other camps. Mengele was one of the main scientist or doctors to conduct any medical experiment, from dwarfs to twins. Most of the experiments he conducted were very brutal and painful. Mengele interested me because his experiments were just down right cruel and I wanted to know more about why and what his did to those innocent people.

Research, research, and more research

I am researching the rights and responsibilities of the Jewish people during the Holocaust. I personally think we should care about my topic because if we just forget about it and doing keep telling the stories and making people aware of what happened, then who knows what might happen. Could it happen again? We, as a Jewish community, don't want it to ever happen again, but we want our generation of kids to know what happened and what it can do to people. The fact that I can research something that is in my own religion's past, and learn in a deeper meaning because looking up the rights, which we don't talk about much because there wasn't many rights. Anyway, I just want people to understand and realize how awful this was and to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Would you go to school?

If a child had the choice to go to school, I think there would be a lot of poverty in the world. If you don't get a education you won't be able to get a well paying job to support yourself and possibly your family. Honestly, going to school sucks, but it will all pay off in the end. There is also the factor of people not being able to pay for school, so that their family would have enough money to get by. I think it depends on your home problems and money.

I think I would go to school. Most kids my age would say no right of the bat, but I want to be able to support myself and my family when it comes the time when they can't. I want to be a physical therapist, therefore you have to go to school and get a great education other wise you wont get into college and then it all goes down from there. So, yes, I would go to school and get my education.

Day in the life

Well, a day in the life of Alyssa Lauren Winkler. Monday through Friday, I get up at 5:20 to shower. Then I get dressed for the school day, then I wait until the bus gets to my house which is about 6:30. We drive all over picking up kids for school, I'm on the bus for about an hour and a half. When we finally reach school at about 7:25ish. Of course, 7:45 bell comes around and it's time for class. I sit through all my classes and get out of school at 3:20. I go to my bus and when it's time to leave I sit on the bus for another hour and a half or so, and wait until I get home. I get home, let my dogs out, get something to eat and start homework. Once I finish homework, I take a shower and get ready for bed. I go to sleep around 9:30-10:00 and start the cycle all over again.

On the weekends, I do whatever I want or whatever my mom tells me. I also do homework, go to conformation class at temple, and hang out with my family and friends.

Writing center learning

Going to the writing center was probably one of the best choices for the last paper. Although I thought my paper was perfect and nothing more could have been done, there were a lot of things I needed to fix. Having someone who is trained to read over papers to make them better makes me more comfortable with them reading and giving feed back other than someone else. Also I like that Christiane gave positive feedback rather than someone else saying that my paper is awful.

It also gave me a chance to have a second look at my paper. Christiane was not only helpful, she was relatable. She told me my paper was very good, but just fix a few things. She is relatable because she told me that she likes to be personal with the reader as well do I. So those are just a few things that connected us.
