Field trip reflection

From Heaven to Home:

The purpose of that field trip was to learn all about the Jewish history. For example I learned that 9,000 Jews fought in the Civil war with the Union and 3,000 Jews fought with the Confederacy.
So the field trip taught us about the achievements that Jewish people had made and the bad times, some bad times were, during world war 2 the Natsis were killing millions of Jewish people.
In the field trip we also learned about what their religion is and why we should know the history of Jewish people.

In the field trip the most interesting fact that i found out was that before world war 2 only a few thousand people lived in Las Vegas but then a Jewish man started making Las Vegas a entertainment city and Las Vegas population was 2,000 but when Las Vegas started to have more entertainment the population exceed one and half million.

Children of Immigrants:
Quote: If we stayed in Bosnia we would have probably been killed. Although one can predict the future, just imagine a seven year old wondering if he would be killed the next day or spared in this world we call home.

I chose this quote because it really spoke out to me and showed me how a lot of kids in other countries that are dangerous feal every day.

Picture:
I choose the Mexican Independence day. The picture sh owes some people wearing Aztec clothes and they are celebrating Mexican Independence day. I chose this Picture because they celebrate Mexican Independence day in another country and they are not in Mexico so that showes me that they will show people who they are and were their from.

Essay:
The essay I read is about a Chinese immigrant and the hard times he when thrue. Also it talks about his father seeing people committing suicide so he wanted to stop seeing that. So he comes to America to start over and have a better life.
