I’m actually really enjoying The Book Thief so far, and one of the passages that immediately made me think about social injustice were pages 12-15. It described how hundreds of people, mostly kids, were killed by bombs that were thrown out of air crafts. The fact that those people were killed because they were German is crazy, that just because of where you’re from you could get such hate. But I also try to keep in mind that this all happened during WW2 and those type of things wouldn’t be out of the ordinary, but today isn’t a world war and the fact that social injustice still exists is honestly pretty shocking to me.

Social Injustice…

I think social injustice should end because it is a cause to a lot of political issues. Majority of protests around the country have something to do with some type social injustice, and I just feel like if this problem was solved, many others would be solved too. But I also think that we can never completely get rid of things like this because not every one is open-minded and ready to see things from a different perspective. And there will always be things such as hate crimes, racism, homophobia, just to cite a few examples because we can never get everyone to open their eyes and realize that we’re all equal human beings.

About my book…

Honestly, I haven’t came across anything that talks about social injustice yet but, I’m pretty sure it will considering that the back talks about German Nazis. But so far I think the book was intriguing, and I like how the author uses Death as the narrator because I think he really thought outside the box, because we’re so used to see Death as a “thing” and not an actual person. I’m definitely exited to see where this book is going to bring me

While reading the title of the article I could infer that the end of the story would be very similar to Shakespeare’s story. Although it did also have differences such as the grandfather who had nothing against the couple’s love or the fact that Bosko was in the Army. The ending was expected but it was still very sad how much hatred can cause

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
