1-Persepolis- I think that when marjanes life was going through a rough period her parents was the one who helped her in life and with her problems. Even though they were not with her through out the whole story but I remember a few times she would think of her parents when she had a problem and what they would say. I would consider them to bee her heroes because they raised her right and taught her right. Plus close to the end her parents help her straighten her life out. Her parents sent her money, they got her a place, they gave her emotional and physical support, they taught her how to survive in the world. When marj had a problem she would think about what her parents taught her and all the things they have done for her and it actually helps her out.
2-Hotel Rwanda-In this story I consider paul to be the hero in this story because of all the things he did for his people. At the beginning of the story paul seemed like he only cared about his family and at the end he started to care about all his people. He spent a lot of money trying to save his people and get them to safety. Even when his family got on to the truck to get to safety, he did not leave with them because he could not let his people die. He was a hutu but he was helping the tutsi. He did a lot for them. At the end he succeeded because he, his family, and his people all get to safety.
3-Swing kids- In this movie I thought that peter was the hero in this story because he influenced a lot of people in the end. At the end while he was getting hauled away to his death he was not scared but he was happy. All the people saw it and decided that they would fight for what they believed in and would not let the Nazis get in the way. He gave up his friend to continue being a swing kid. He got beat up for it and he got harassed for it but he didn’t care because he wanted to be a swing kid and that motivated a lot of people to rebel against the Nazis and swing.

A. Overcoming adversity and challenges
In the movie hotel Rwanda the charter Paul over came challenges when he had to make the employs work when they refused what happened was the employs wouldn’t work because the boss left to the United States. He got them to work by getting the letter from the boss over the phone and had him fax it to them that’s how he made them work,
Another was when the army came to his house and took everybody out of the house and he had to take them to get something. The army found out the people were tutsie and they don’t like the tutsie so he had to find a way to keep them from killing them so he paid the army off. That is how overcame that challenge.
The biggest challenge was staying calm with all the killing and other things he stayed calm and didn’t panic he did that by focusing on his job and his family.
b. Tolerance
In the movie hotel Rwanda Paul had to tolerate the UN saying you are nothing but dirt and we should not help you because you are black and he had to tolerate and he stayed calm.
He had to tolerate the workers that didn’t listen to him and he had to embaressed himself to get them to work and he was embaressed by calling the boss in the states and asking to Wright a letter to the workers saying you need to work.
The un personal had to tolerate the Hutus and the tutsis even when the Hutus killed a un personal the general had to tolerate not shooting them and the orders he got he had to tolerate because the orders were not to help them.
c. Heroes
The UN was Paul’s heroes because the general stayed there to help even when he was not supposed to and because he was brave and nice to him even though Paul was a Hutu.
The neighbors of Paul. Paul was there heroes because he helped them and he was a Hutu but he didn’t care he went out of his way to help the people
Another heroes to Paul was the camra man from the untied states because he went out of the safe zone to get some footage and he risked his life for it and he forced his boss to watch it and to put it on the TV.

Overcoming Adversity and Challenges
In the book, Persepolis, there were a lot of examples about overcoming adversity and challenges. The book takes place in Iran in the late 1990’s. Marji had grown up with her family in hard times with the wars that were going on in there country. When things had gotten bad enough her parents had decided to send her Europe so that she would be safe. She had to overcome living on her own in a completely different country. Marji learned to take care of herself and learn things on her own without her parents being there with her. When she had decided to go back to live in Iran, she was 19. While she lived there she had to overcome more wars and her newly married life. Her husband and her finally had gotten a divorce. Now, mostly everyone can somewhat relate to that.
Hotel Rwanda is a little hard to watch because of the things that the people go through. It took place somewhere in Africa. Paul, the manager of the hotel, has to deal with a lot of stuff. In the beginning he seems to only want to take care of his family. It took place in the early 1990’s and yet is still happening today. Paul took very good care of his family and his business. He was a Hutu, yet his wife and kids were Tutsi. The Hutu were the ones “in charge” or so they thought. So the Tutsi people were always scared and being horribly treated by most of the Hutu people. Paul soon realizes at the end of the movie that he can take care of his family, being everyone not just his wife and children. He sends his wife and kids to somewhere else so that they can be safe although he stays behind to help all of the Tutsi people that are staying at the hotel for safety. He overcame the challenge of people trying to kill him for helping the other people and also for living in that kind of situation. He was a hero to so many people.
The Nazi people are hard people to watch. They had done so many horrible things to innocent people. They believed in certain things and everyone else in the country had to suffer. Swing Kids is a movie that had a lot of meaning to the word ‘freedom’. Nobody really had any. This took place in 1939. Not being part of the HJ was a little like putting disrespect to the Nazi’s. The kids in the HJ beat everyone who was different. Peter and his friend Thomas had to join the HJ so that they didn’t get into anymore trouble. They had decided to be swing kids by night and HJ kids by day. Yet, Thomas had transferred into thinking that what he was being taught at the HJ was right and betrayed Peter at the end of the movie. They had a handicapped friend, Arvid, who was treated horribly because he was handicapped. He ended up committing suicide because he was so overwhelmed with the torture the HJ put him through and because his “friend” turned his back. Thomas had kept his head on straight and overcame the challenge of being both a swing kid and part of the HJ. He was taken away and still had a smile on his face because he knew what he did was right and he was proud of it. He overcame living with all the things he had gone through with his country, friends, family, and himself.

My thoughts about this novel were good because I liked the book.
It was very interesting and I kept wanting to read more.
I liked the way the book talked about a teenager growing up.
I did not really like it when they started talking about the war or when they would talk about politics because it sounded so boring.
I would definitely recommend this book to another person.
I think the meaning of this book was to let us know what is really going on in the world.
I like it how it kind of relates to my life like the use of drugs and depression and family problems.
I like it how she comes up even though she is living rough and hard.
I like the way it showed us how it was in iran.

Brainwashing a thing the government knows all to well. Just ask any one. If there smart they well tell you the truth. But if there stupid or ignorant they well say the government is here to help you. Like 9-11, I’ll put money on it the government hade a little something to do with it. I don’t think it is as black and white as every one makes it. I how we blame Muslims for every thing, but we are just as much the blame as them.

We have been talking an in immense detail about adversity and challenges by reading books like perspolis and fahrient 451. These novels are about people going threw adversity because the government is ignorant or plain punitive about change. Along with antagonists comes protagonists to fight for something they truly believe in.
Challenges are that people try to subjugate for the better. Just like marji and her family is trying to do by demonstrating against the government of Iran. Including montag living in a society were books are illegal and he soon finds out that book have the signifiance of knowledge and have more meaning than people assume.
It is inenvitable to inquire challenges all threw life, its not how painful it can be important, but how you conduct yourself through out the life lesson.

Today has been a good day. The only problem that I had was I got a three in bens class because I was passing notes to Danielle. I have been working really hard on keeping my grades up and it is actually working. I got like a little over two weeks before my court date and I got to have everything looking good for the judge. I am hoping to finally be able to go home so I can be with my family. I want to show the judge that I can be successful and actually do good in my community . I want to get back with m family so I can be there for my little girl . I don’t want to miss anymore time of her life. I also want to be there for my family and so I don’t have to wait till Sunday to talk to my mom. If I was home right now than everything would be going really good right now. I can only hope right now that it goes good in court. I hope she is in a good mood.
