Hello every one,

In English class we have been reading a very interesting book, well actually it is not really a book; it is a diary of a young girl that lived in a “Secret Annex” to hide from the Germans in Amsterdam, Holland during the Second World War! In it she writes about her thoughts. The book is called, Anne Frank, a Diary of a Young Girl and while reading it I came across one interesting thing. It all started when I was reading on page 102, I read one sentence that pulled my special attention, it is as following: “I don’t think my opinions are stupid and others do; so it is better to keep them to myself.” In general this quote says that Anne thinks that her opinions are not stupid but that she also believes that others do think that they are, so that’s why she does not share them with any one and only writes them in her diary. I personally think that it is really important to share you thoughts on particular subjects! For example, if you really disagree on some thing that the rest of your class agrees on and you have a strong statement to support your thoughts, go up there and show them what you are made of! Maybe you are shy, or maybe you don not mind talking all you like. The thing that matters is that it is important to tell people what you think as long as you have the right to! I conclusion, I would like every one to just go out there and show the world what you believe in!

To add to this I have written a letter that I would send to Anne Frank if she was still alive about this quote:

Dear Anne,

In English we are all reading your diary and we enjoy it very much, but one day I came across a sentence that when I read it, I began to think. It is on page 102 and it is as following: “I don’t think my opinions are stupid and others do; so it is better to keep them to myself.” After this I asked myself one question, is your decision a wise one or should you tell others your opinions even though it seems like they don not appreciate it that much? Once I thought it over I came to the conclusion that it is good that you believe that your ideas and opinions are not stupid, but you should not think straight away that others feel that they are! I know that maybe they laugh at you or say that you talk too much but it is important to give your opinion of things as long as you are allowed to! Let others know if you agree or disagree on certain things. Like this you can also get into interesting discussions about the subject and maybe by doing that you get to know every one a little better! In general I just think that you should share your thoughts a little more with the people around you and I think that you should not mind about what they think of you too much!

I hope this will help and I also hope that I have not been a pain in the neck with this long and boring letter, I just want to help!

Sincerely,

Emma O. 

Thank you for reading my writing!

Have a nice day.

Hey Every one,

In Social Studies we had to find a current event about something that influenced the world. I did the terorisim attack on the world trade center. This is my summary:

On 11 September 2001 at exactly 08:46 a plane crashed into the north tower of the world trade center in New York. The plane hit the he building around the 95th and 103rd floor. The people on those floors were instantly killed and the people on the floors above had no chance of escaping because their getaway routes were blocked by fires.
