Pages 1-10: The young jew Maimodes is looking for master. while the book is talking about a man who seems to be sad but pleasant master that made himself invisible from disrupting others or burdening them with his presence. the book is also mentioning and introducing the jewish town of Sighet. Maimodes is talking about his genourouse father who cares more about the town than his family. The father is one of the leaders and he hardly shows any sign of emotion.there town seems to be a few miles away from the war that is happening because the army is starting to warn therm that they may have to leave there homes.

Pages 11-20
now it apears that Maimodes family and the whole town in fact has been asked or forced to leave there nice town. the war appears to be moving near them so they are forced to pack up at small valubles they want and leave. the jews are still in shock that they are leaving at such a late time to be placed in a ghetto. Maimodes family might have a chance at not leaving but they still had to pack up and throw out there stuff in case they were next on going to the ghetto. it turns out that there family is now next and the family is suppose to march quetly and fast to a safer place while the hungarian police escort them

Pages 20-30
As Elli, his family and over 80 jews make it to a safe place, they are soon immediately forced into a compressed train cart. During the first few hours it was quiet and every one was sitting silently. soon people started to flirt with each other for the only means of happiness. during the ride the delirious madam Schafter who kept on hinting towards the always scared of fire. it soon took the other passengers in the cart to beat and tie her up to keep her quiet. After reaching the town of Auschwitz every one was dehydrated and starving, with out there memories or jewelry's to keep. Upon arrival every one was immediately take by officers and split into two groups separating the men and women. it seems that the german police here are trying to save and hid some jews by changing there age and letting them avoid a horrible death.

Pages 30-40
Elli has now been separated from his mom and sister. He now is with his dad and a few other unlucky men that have all been given new ages. Now after being examined by some troops, they have now been sent to a concentration camp in Auschwitz. After being separated into occupation categories the jews are now all sent to work. it Appears that through out the orientation of the camp that Elli has a burning unbelievable rage inside him from all thats happened. Soon after his father went up to a gypsie to ask were the bathroom is but instead ended up being beaten senseless. it seems that these troops were here to use them as slaves in exchange for not killing them.

Pages 40-50
It seems that Ellie has now been moved to a more merciful concentration camp. His pleads were heard and was able to stay moderately close to his father. Though the guards there are nice, they will not laziness or slacking off for jobs they were assigned or there will be punishments. in the end though the last of his Jewish memories were taken away after his gold tooth was pulled out and his shoes were replaced and not bargained with. Though Elie is Jewish it looks like he's starting to question or believe a tiny bit in god for mercy and hope that he will not die.

Pages 50-60
Its been a few weeks since Ellie has arrived at the camp and now is working to get small rations to fill in his boned skin. The leaders or Idek seems to be the worse of the officers at the camp. To save his but and show fear to Elli he whipped him for seeing his self with a half nude Polish girl. It seems that the american forces or opposing enemy has started marching and getting further into German territory, since bombs went off one night at the camp.

Pages 70-80
Elli and the whole camp seem to dwindle in there faith to god. Akimbo has gave up all life he had and offered his neck to the execution. Elli seems to be more worried about his father since he thought that they would die. The condition and weather of the camp seems to be becoming worse then hell. its consistently having blizzards and ice winds that is tearing through the poor clothing and skin of the campers. lastly Elli is now in the hospital and has just had an operation on is frozen swollen leg. it appears the operation was a success and he has avoided the chopping block for now.

Pages 80-90
All the jews are now on the move leaving there concentration camp to go and find shelter far away. With the icy cold wind in front and the thought of being trampled to death by many other prisoners behind, Elie could only continue running on nearly no energy with his father. They finally made it to an abandon factory that was in poor, cold condition. If any of the Jews were to fall asleep on the freezing cold snow it would mean that they're sacrificing there lives to death. Many people are dead and the numbers just keep dropping and soon it will just be Ellie and his father.

Pages 90-100

Though he is passed out and not moving Ellie will not give up the fact that his father may soon pass away. He now is in a great panic to show the other troops that he is not dead yet. Now them and a fast depleting amount of jews are heading off in a train to the middle of Germany. during the ride Elli relives the savagery weak people have when there last source of hope is in between them all. It  seems that more and more people are giving up on living and soon Chlomo's friend Meir Katz might be next. As Elli put it there is a contagion of death that is spreading across the carts. They now have arrived in Buchenwald, now only time will tell what will happn

Pages 101-109

Elli's father was in the final stages of Death there was no more hope, help, or miracle that could deny his inevitable demise. The bunk mates that were next to Chlomo soon started beating him and taking his rations of food, but still there was nothing that could be done to help him no matter how much he pleaded. Ellie was soon given advice from a guard to think for him self, instead of the lost father. Elli despite the fact it was true still couldn't think about it. the next day Chlomo was dead; he was taken late in the morning to the incinerator. Now it was soon going to be the whole camp that would die. Luckily the Jews managed to dis obey this order to there executions and hold out for ten long, starving days. On the tenth day there was gunfire and explosives going off. it was the resistance and they had taken over the base. Ellie spent the next few weeks eating and in the hospital. lastly he got up and looked at the cold stare coming from his mirror.

The Split Cherry Tree summary of Pa

 If Pa Saxton was here today he would be surprised by all the new things and technology today. He believed in about two things the fairness in everybody and that a man should work to pay off debts to make a honest living. If it wasn't for his son dave getting in trouble that involved him paying a dollar he would still be in the dark following his old traditions today. When he saw that is boy had to pay while four friends got off free he was still trying following his old rules and was about to pull dave out of school. The teacher was lucky enough to convince him that his son was learning or there would be a bullet in his head.
Once the teacher talked enough sense into him the really started to bond. Pa learned that their is newer science, inventions, and discoveries being made. He also learned about germs and how they grow on your teeth. The teacher learned about how every one should work to pay off debts not just pay with green. So I guess by the end of the day the teacher taught an old dog some new tricks.

     Once the Prince opened the door he was immediately met with a ferocious tiger. The princess, not caring about the other peoples "Aww," was giving an menacing smirk to what was about to be the Prince's demise. The prince, having barely enough reaction time, was clawed on his arm by the ferocious, leaping tiger. The tiger then saw the whole crowd and soon began to charge them, ignoring the peasant. The princess and king's laughter soon turned distraught as he made all his guards go and face the tiger, but by the time he gave the commands the soldiers were either maned, fled, or trying to spear the tiger. The peasant, seeing his chance, made a break for the second door. He opened it and took his soon to be bride, or at least she would be if the minister was still alive. As they both started to leave through the doors the princess saw them and ordered some troops to chase after them. Hearing the order, the peasant grabbed a small dagger off a dead soldier who was near him. As wounded warriors chased down the couple, the peasant would swiftly plunge the dagger into them.
     The crowd, screaming in fear and horror, started to flee the Amphitheater while the tiger continued to maul everything in sight. The only person who didn't move was the king who sat in his throne, shocked at what was happening to his beloved kingdom and prophesy. The peasant and his wife were so close to the exit, they could see the lights that gleamed at the end of the tunnel. Right as they exited, four spears waited a few inches in front their necks. It was the princess and five soldiers.

"Did you really think you two could escape the trial and this land alive and together?" the Princess asked with an evil smile as she drove a sharp knife right through the peasant's shoulder blade.

Screaming in agony, the peasant fell to the ground bleeding heavily from his wound while the bride just stood there crying.

 "Men, kill these two!" Before the princess could even finish her sentence, she ran away.
The peasant, confused and now having some energy, looked up only to see the tiger clawing and pouncing on every one of the soldiers. Then, the tiger had its eyes on the princess. Seeing her shake and smelling the fear, the tiger roared then ate her bit by bit.
Seizing the opportunity, both the peasant and his bride hopped on a horse and rode away from the massacre that had fallen upon that land.

It has been a year since the blood bath that happened on the amphitheater. Both husband and bride are living the rest of their lives in peace and tranquility, happy that they were the first to change the tradition.  

I do adore my good friend Montressur, we've been through his dark, damp, and scary grave yard. Now that we are at the end of his catacombs he is doing possibly the best joke of the whole night. I thought it was strange that he kept on giving me more and more wine just so I could get chained up.

Okay, now I'm starting to get a bit worried. It has been a good ten minutes and he still hasn't freed me yet. I mean, I know that we haven't seen eye to eye in the past, but I know he'll release me. All he keeps on doing is giving me a menacing glare and putting up a cement wall to cover the only door. I then asked him about the Amontillado we were supposed to look at and he just continually pointed at the bricks. It's beginning to frighten me that I might not make it out alive tonight.

Well, now I'm convinced that Montressur wants to kill me. I tried to scream for help, but as I did it, Montressur began to scream as well. It was quite strange, like he was sending me a message that we were too deep for anyone to hear us. I'm now trying to get out of here, but these chains are too tight.

Montressur is down to the last brick. I guess it was my fault for listening to him and falling for his trap. If I ever make it out of here I'm going to never make contact or be cheap to others again. I'll be kind and possibly never go into someone's grave ever again. Well, the last brick is up. I guess it will be fun living in solitary confinement.

Most dangerous game notes

A sailor lore is an island known as Ship Trap island

This island could be a possible forshadow
I think that the crew or some one will end up falling overboard and being stranded on the island






One of the main characters is a pro hunter named Rainsford
He believes in the hunters and the hunted
while in night time Rainsford hears three pistol shots come from the island
while looking on the railing he loses his pipe and goes over board after it
Inciting event is Rainsford heading to the island by him self

Rainsford meets two new strange characters. one being a burly deaf russian soildier called Ivan who follows command under the second man, General Zauroff. While getting new clothes on, Rainsford learns that another man used to wear them. also while having dinner Rainsfordkeeps on noticing that Zauroff was staring at him menacingly. lastly Rainsford soon notices that Zauroff hunts more than animals. Zauroff finds great game and pleasure to hunt any week person or any one of a lower class than him.

Three rising actions that happen in the story is Rainsford falling off his yacht and heading towards ship trap island. Rainsford exploring the island and finding a large manor that hosts two strange owners, General Zauroff, and his deaf and dull friend Ivan. lastly while having dinner Rainsford learns that this man got so unsatisfied of hunting that he hunts game that can reason and is the most dangerous. Zauroff hunts low class humans for fun and Rainsford is soon forced to play his game.

Journal entry 1

This court is now in session, bring the defendant forward. Mr. Rainsford you have been accused of murder, do you plead guilty?”

“I don’t, Zuaroff was a hunter and a mass murder. If you were there before the death you would possibly see thousands of bones, clothes, and other belongings to people that have gone missing. When I was at his manor I was supposed to use self-defense to try and win at his hunting game. I also happen to have a couple of eyewitnesses. These were twelve Spaniard sailors who were being held prisoner in the basement of Zauroff’s mansion. Also, like most of the other victims, they were out sailing until they mysteriously crashed on the island. Zauroff even had guns in his manor, but if you were to look around you would see no animals of any kind living there. That is all judge.”

“Alright, I have found you not guilty, court dismissed.” As Rainsford was walking home he noticed from far away something gleaming was on the roof. As he tried to get a better view he could only make out that it was the barrel of a gun. Soon he look up at his forehead and noticed that there was a red dot. Before he had enough time to react he was already on the ground bleeding profusely. Slowly his eyes closed and soon he heard the siren of an ambulance. When he woke up he saw doctors and nurses running up and down the halls. When he was looking around he saw a letter that was on the nightstand right beside him.

He opened it and it said: “Mr. Rainsford, I must congratulate you on two things. First, being able to survive a bullet to the head and second, beating my father at his favorite game; but now the real fun begins. As I vowed to my father, I would be the next player to continue his match. You may have been able to survive, but now it’s my turn and like my father I don’t miss or lose my targets. Now you won’t be able to turn your head with out being afraid of something stalking you.

Sincerely Bobby Zauroff
