1226 Words5 Pages

Freeing the Jews Ben, Damian, and some Partisan Fighters go on an adventure in Warsaw, Poland in 1945 to free the Jews from the captivity. The Nazi soldiers are holding our families in concentration camps with Hitler controlling almost everybody. We hope to free them and get back to our normal, happy lives. Ben and I join the Partisan fighters in hope of freeing the Jews stuck in concentration camps. Ben walked over to the group of fighters while I stood and the campfire trying to heat my hands up since it was -17 degrees celsius and I had no mittens.

We quickly ran to the hole and made our way to the building where some of the Nazis sat down for some rest or food.

All the kids who got water sprung up and hug us both. They felt like a million blankets. The other Partisans that were with us split up and went back into the base in the woods to check on everyone.

    Rebels Without a Cause Not very many people have affected me in the same way as my friend Jake Fernholz. I have never realized the influence he has had on me until someone pointed out that we talk and think the same way.

    I am a republican because, I believe the power should be closer to the people of the United States of America, I believe in limited taxation, and I believe in a strong national defense. First, I am a republican because I believe in the federalist system of government. Basically, I believe in the fact that the power should be equally divided between the government and the people, and the people should have a say in the country’s actions. Also, I believe that the people should not have to pay too much taxes, for they work hard for their money and they should be able to enjoy their money made. I know that the country needs taxes, but just hold the taxes to minimum, and find the equilibrium where everyone agrees.
