"Seven times cursed seven times sealed"(Wiesel) pg.43.
Elie was sent to a camp and from being judged he was very worried about him and his father. Him being sent to camps and going through alot to survive and seeing people that have been hurt and are weeping over loved ones being burned right in front of them.
"Never shall I forget those flames which comsumed my faith forever"(Wiesel) pg.43
Elie is saying that when he first arrived at the camp he saw so many kids, adults, and even kids his age and he being worried about him being one of those kids dieing with them and losing his life forever. Elie losing everything he had ever wanted in life about his studies and what would his family do when he is gone and what about his mother and sister. Standing there in front of those flames made him think this and worrying about his father watching him die.

Knight section 1 and 2
"A wind of calmness and reassurance blew through our houses"pg.16 (Elie Wiesel)
This means that when some of the foreigners left that some were very happy. It also might mean that you are feeling good that nothing bad is going to happen to you or anybody in that house and you can go on with your everyday life and noot e worried about anything.
"The news spread like wildfire. Soon it was on everybodies lips." pg.19 (Elie Wiesel)
This means that what every they wanted to get out and tell everyone about they would because they would tell everyone. Everyone would hear about it if they wanted to listen that was there choice so the everyone lips is saying that they are going to tell anyone they come into contact with.

Snapshot of Italy
I would be able to smell all of the fregances of the trees and the flowers. The air would be so fresh because there is no gases or anything like that. Nothing is dead like here everything stinks and smells everywhere you go. Hopefully there you can actually breath a little bit without thinking you are going to die. Just to lay in the grass looking up in the sky thinking about life and how good it is to be there. One day I wish to visit there and make this my dream place to be.

DREAMS
The dreams in the book Of Mice and Men are wonderful and seem far fetched. For some, these dreams may be a possibility,but for these two individuals in the book it is a very tricky path they must take. Lennie and George are great friends and have known each other for many years, bascially since they were little boys. Lennie lost his parents and George's aunt took him in and for a few years they did what they needed to do to stay alive. Then Lennie made a big mistake which cost him alot he is not so smart that is why George is with him to keep him straight. Lennie grabed a girl and he was only being friendly all he wanted to do was feel her dress because Lennie likes the feeling of soft things. Well since he grabed her very hard she started to scream and the next thing you know they are leaving there home town to get away from everything that is happening. Then since they had nothing to live on or any money to get them anywhere they had to start finding jobs.
After a long journey to a job George set up for them they reached a pond or lake and they stayed there for the night. George came up with a dream and his dream was to become wealthy and have his own farm where he can grow and work only for his self. This dream was a very big dream to accomplish back in the day. So George and Lennie worked very hard to reach this goal and they got to the farm where they would be working until they had enough money to have their own farm. The dream to me is very easy to accomplish these days but to think about it back in the day I think that it would be very hard and I don't think that it is realistic.
Dreams in the future are very good to have because it sets your mind on something to reach. Say if I didn't have any dreams what would I have to strive for or look forward too. On the other hand I do have dreams or goals I want to reach and they are to do great in school and have a very nice family and live in a very nice house. Now that I have told you my dream I want to reach it when I grow up and by doing that I must work hard at it and if I can't do that then I will have nothing in my future. If my dream was to go unfulfilled then I guess I will have to find something else to keep me alive or set another dream I can reach. Sometimes it hurts to face reality and I know that it might leave you a little heart broken but you can't always live in a fantsy land. If you do then you will never have anybody there for you.
George and Lennie do not reach their dream but I have to give them credit for working very hard to reach it. I also have to give George some credit to because the way Lennie acted I think that he was kind of a hold back on George. If George did not have Lennie I think he would have reached his dream and lived a very happy life and loved his life.

a perfect world
I think a perfect world is when everybody is happy and no body is dying and people are having fun living there lives. When people are like that there are no crimes and no money getting stolen. There would be very many jobs and they would be what people want to do and love for the rest of there lives. I would want to be a doctor of some sort and help people and you get paid alot of money. When you have a job you like it is not a job it is a life time fun fest. Now of days you have jobs that do pay good money but for the people that have to pay are out alot of money and you never know they might be poor and where are they supposed to live without a home to keep them warm. Now that doctor has alot of money and that sick or hurt person has none and they are living on the streets because our world's money is not very good we owe China alot of money.
If I had a perfect world right now then it would be so fun and I would love my life because nothing would never be going wrond and i wouldn't have to anything to worry about running low on money. To me I think they should let us drive and have everything free I also think that they should let us not go to school. You also have to think that if you don't go to school your not going to get an education and if you don't have that then you can't have a good paying job because you are stupid. Life right now is very tough for me and that is also why we have friends because they are there to help you and when they do help you it makes you feel good inside. Have you ever been feeling down and a friend ask you whats wrong and you say nothing but they still know that there is but you just won't admit it. What about the time your friend was feeling down and you wanted to help them and you think back on that moment that they helped you and you do everything in your power to cheer them up. Have you ever thought about your parents feeling bad what about when you want something and they can't get it for you because you are running low on money how do they think they feel I would bet you any amout of money that they feel really bad because you are there son or daughter.
In a perfect world none of this would exist but since we don't live in one this stuff does happen and there are people feeling bad and that are out on the streets. I would like to have a perfect world but the big question is how would we act if we all of a sudden had a perfect world what would people do? I know what I would do jump up and down with joy because there is nothing to worry about now. What would your friends do, how would school be? If we had a perfect world there would be no 9\11 when alot of people died that day. If that day came and gone like any other day this world that we live in would be great so what if we were to try and make our world perfect what would we do?
