During World War 1 the Holocaust is when around six million jews were held captive as part of a extermination by NAZI's led by Adolf Hitler. Homosexuals were also hunted out . Concentration Camps were jews were kept as a slave till they died of exhaustion or disease. When einsatzgruppen started shooting mass amounts of jews and political opponents Jew and Romas were put in ghettos before being transported hundereds of miles in trains toe xtermination camps. If they had survived the trip they were likely to be killed in gas chambers. The country was turned into a "genocidal state."

Asssingment 10

Ummm... I'm not sure because honestly I think that I did well on the blogs I guess i wouldnt be so harsh on my opinions but thats how i am i belive that if where somewhere the majority of the time we have a choice and we are the reason we are where we are.

Assignment 8

I believe that lakshmi is very innocent and naiive. i also believe that she needs to have enough self-esteem to tell her mother she is worth as much as a man! To tell her father that she is more man than him! But lakshmi is also strong enough to endure the brothel I will say brave when she escaped but she was a coward to continue under Mumtaz's fingers.

Stopping by woods on a snowy evening-?

I think that all Lakshmi wanted to do was to die and she daydreamed with it but she knew that her family needed her and I believe it was also her hopee to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Assignment 7

Well mostly i believe its not only the goverment's fault but also the people's! its not that hard to call against it. Also so many women fall helpless to it but in the end they have a choice. If only they would try to run away because then again isnt that better than being constantly "raped"?
Also i mean rape??? I think that they let themselves unless of course they're paralyzed or held down ut they can fight them. maybe then though its also their families fault for letting go of their children so they can maintain a family! It is stupid but when it comes down I believe that women have a choice in the end.

assignment three

the greatest conflict is that Lakshmi lets all of this happen.
She allows herself to be beaten down to the value of a goat by her father on page 8.
She allows her mother to tell her she is not worth the same as a man on page 15 .
She lets Mumtaz beat her into a prostitute page 144 and on.
She lets men rape her even without that cup of lassi on page 144 and on.
She lets Shilpa crush her hope on page 238-239.
She lets herself become Monica, the thirsty vine women on page 227.

Assignment two

The difference between a son and daughter

Summary:
my stepfather's arm is useless; he doesn't work at all, but my mother says we are blessed to have him in our company. I am the dutiful daughter who sucks up to him ignoring how i am barely worth the value of a man.
In Depth:
I believe that she is a good girl. She poses as what everyone else bends her to be despite that she seems to never be enouhg for anyone leading to the fact that she believes it. She's naive and really she has been bent and twisted to pose as the ignorant slaved daughter!
