Hurt

Mathew Sanervie is my name, but my beliefs caused me a lot of trouble. On my 17th birthday I went to school like every other normal school day. I was Jewish. This was the worst time to be Jewish because of World War II. As I walked in the gates to school five guys in a green uniform took me away in a truck with people in the back. I could not escape the dirty clutches of the solders that worked for Adolph Hitler. I tried to have the grip of the solders hands released but as I tried and tried and tried I couldn’t get away. I eventually got exhausted.

We soon arrived at a dirty, dry place with an old railroad through the middle. I thought hard about what I was learning about this war they were going through. Then it came to my mind, I was in a concentration camp. When they picked everyone up in the truck there were 32 people but since they got there 8 people had been pushed or jumped off the moving truck as it drove to its final destination. There were about 110,000 people at the camp, more then half were probably 20 years old and under. Everywhere I looked young children were crying and it was as if people were losing all hope in living. We were put in rooms, very small rooms. It was rather crowded; some people had to share a bed because the rooms were over filled. I made a few friends but there is a girl; Sophia Rezal, which was in my class at school, she was 16 but her birthday was in about 3 weeks. We never really talked in class so I never new she was Jewish, like me. That made me feel less alone and happy. I was with a familiar face.

We were all given our own clothes or on the other hand, torn up linen so it looked like we were wearing old cruddy rags. So there was no being looked upon differently because when you get looked at people just think of how old you are and that you’re just another normal Jew. We walked around for a little bit while we were able to, Sophia and I held hands but the twins Connor and Leah held hands in a brother and sister way. They were 12 but still needed each other to feel safe, they were young at heart.

All of us in my room were sent to a place that was out of bounds, when we had free time if we walked around there we would get shot and then sent to a room where bad people go and suffer. Our grouped walked up big hill in a long line. Their was around 70 people in the line including Sophia the twins and I. We entered a room that was very big and had a huge metal door. Sophia and I walked in holding hands and hugged each other when we went in and stood facing the open door, or what was now the closed door. We heard a huge band I think it was the door locking.’ Are we going to be cleaned?’ Connor asked.
‘I think so,’ answered Leah.
They grasped each others hand and Leah held on so tight, because she was so scared.

Sophia shivered and then kissed my cheek. Her lips were soft and dry. I smiled and then all I heard after that were screams of agony.

Lights. (My awesome story)

If only I could fly anywhere and anytime. To fly in the clouds among the birds.I would be so much happpier, my life would be much more valuable, and fun.

But alas, I can't. If I jump... Just if I jump, I will fall to my freezing watery grave. The waves taunt me, like my reflection in a mirror. Staring bacjk at me with it's blue crystaly smaile, I back away. I walk down to the road to the spring just under the bridge above it.

I find a twig about a metre before I reach the spring. As I pick it up something unusal happens. The spring starts to bubble, white mist starts to arise from the watery bed of water. A figure... A figure, socked from the spring, it walks towards me. The wind blows the things hair to one side.

Alarmed and nervous to what the long haired creature would look like I backed away from the flowery grass surroundings and found myself tripped over a crack in the road. I am now lieing in the middle of the road with the creature at the edge of the road and a car heading towards me.

The creature lifted up it's hair and after that all I saw were two beautiful, magical lights.

Funnily enough I wake up with a tube in my arm and my neck. I had now realised I could not feel my left leg. I pulled myself up from the hospital bed and discovered I don't have a left leg. My mother explained to me that I was run over by a car and on life support.

I said at the start if I could fly my life would be more valuable, so true. The doctors turned off my life support and I found out that the figure, was an angel. She sent me to heaven to look over my mother and father.

Guess what.
My name is Rose Smuthers.
And as I look over my mother and father in heavan I now have a baby sister, Lillie.

This is PR and BG (me) dialogue. We have improved our fluency and not looking out the piece of paper with the writing on it.

We practiced only twice and done a couple of mistakes. We need to work on our tones still and making sure that our pronunciation is getting better as we pogress in chinese.

Chinese Introduction Video

I think I did pretty well for someone who has been learning chinese for
about 5 weeks. (It may sound like a long time but it really isn't!)

I think I spoke clearly, I didn't try to use tones because they are quite confusing.

Please don't laugh at my video!
