The Nazi Hunters #2 Blog

Summary: In the Book right now it's explaining how the spies are watching the guy they need to capture, Eichmann. After doing more research before about Eichmann's whereabouts they find a location to pinpoint him. A team of spies have been assembled, Rafi Eitan the chief of operations. Moshe Tabor, Yaakov Gat, Avraham Shalom, Shalom Dani, Peter Malkin, Yaakov Medad. Now Shalom, Malkin were hiding in the distance waiting for Eichmann who was suppose to come to some meeting. They see a bus approach and immediately Shalom says "That's him." They sit and wait, and see's what he does next. 

Reflection/Prediction: So far this book has been good and explained a lot about the people in this mission and what's it about. I like the format of this book how it has pictures and graphs and all these other things about this operation back at the time. It's interesting knowing they did all this.  I think sooner or later they will find this Eichmann person and do something to him, I'm not sure what but something. I'll just have to wait and see. 

Tolerance

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. 

• What does tolerance mean to you?  Tolerance kind of means to be open minded, well at least for me. Something you don't necessarily agree with but you allow it. Or another way I see it is that you don't like something you just will have to get use to it, because if the thing you don't agree with sticks around might as well get use to it. 
• How can you be more tolerant of others? Maybe learn more about other people and you will tolerant them and start to accept them more. 

The Nazi Hunters #1 Blog

Summary: Adolf Eichmann a nazi being hunted down by a group of hunters. He was well known in the nazi party. And is being chased down by "hunters". He was known for helping construct the concentration camps, bringing in jews and killing them and many more worse things. After the war he left his wife and kid to hide from being "chased".  Some time has passed and a team came up with perfect ideas on how to get to Eichmann. There is limited information about Eichmann, but Simon Wiesenthal made the best out of it. He works in the OSS, Office of Strategic Services. Then Manus Diamant an undercover agent was suppose to go and find Eichmann's wife and investigate on his whereabouts.









Plot:  I like the plot of the story, so far its explaining Eichmann and what he does and the spies and there jobs. I think it's cool how the book and plot are starting off and unfold to how the spies or hunters will capture the "most notorious Nazi" And so far it's just the uprising and getting to the climax which will most likely being the spies getting to Eichmann.

"Franklin D. Roosevelt." #8 Blog

Summary: FDR is now the 32nd president of the United States. He was elected 4 times, which is now a law that you can't be elected more than 2 times. He was hired during the times of WWII and lead America to victory. He was commander in chief and still had polio and we won, but he didn't do it alone of course. He had help from many of his "workers" and everyone else working in that cabinet. And just before WWII there was the great depression in the 30's, and he helped America through it. Many people recall that "FDR was one of the best presidents" "He was nice for what he did." He would do the fireside chats during WWII and keep people up to date with what was going on in the world at the time. FDR then was elected his 4th time in 1945 then died of a stroke on April 12. The world was shocked because of this.

Reflection: FDR was a good president and was different from most, being elected 4 times, having polio, going through WWII and the Great Depression. He even married his distant cousin and had 5 kids. He would also use a wheelchair because of the polio he had, he couldn't move his right leg or it was hard trying to move it. But he would never use it for pictures as he would always trying to look strong and not weak because he was the president. And it was shocking because no one really expected him to die, he was going on his 4th term the war was coming to an end soon and everything was ok. Then he dies and everybody is shocked about it.

Summary:
FDR just finished Harvard and loves politics, so as he grows older at the age of 28, he would go into town and give speeches. At first he was shaky, nervous or even to slow that the crowd would start to clap when he really din't finish. Then after practicing he got better and better. And later became the state senator in 1911. Then WWI started and FDR wanted to volunteer as a naval officer but when he did it was too late. But when the war was over he attended the peace conference at Versailles. And just a couple years later FDR was said to have polio.

Character analysis:
At this time a chain of events happened for FDR. Becoming state senator, finishing college, WW1 starting, and getting polio.  But surprisingly none of these really hurt FDR he was still doing what he always do. He would have to use a cane or have someone help him but, it didn't bother him. He even went swimming after.
