4. What more did you learn about the people that lived through the Holocaust by doing this assignment?

1. When I first read Isaac's story and I thought that Frau Heidelberg was a mean teacher but then I changed my mind after reading Frau Heidelberg's story. Frau Heidelberg actually feels sorry for making fun of the two Jewish boys.

2. I prefer reading first person and/or third person, limited omniscient because you only have to think about one person's point of view. When I read Omniscient, I will be able to get to know the characters thoughts but, I get confused with all the other characters and then I have no idea what's going on, and who's-who.

3. I think that there were too many hyperlinks. The only one that actually helped me was the Frau hyperlink. I thought that Frau was a name but then I found out that Frau was a German word for woman. So in English, Frau Heidelberg would be Ms. Heidelberg.

4. The teachers were told to humiliate and embarass their Jewish students. They had to teach the German students false information, tell them that "The Jewish are the enemy, stay away from them."

1. How does changing the point of view of a story change what you know about the characters?

A: The changing of the point of view changes the knowing of the characters, because the first person always uses I, my, me..... so it's kind of like an interview. The third person uses the words he, she, his, her etc. and it's like that person is telling someone about what happens. The last one, omniscient uses he, she, her, his. That person also uses I, my, me, only in quotations.

2. Which point of view do you prefer reading? Why?

A: I prefer reading first person because I like to tell someone about something like I'm the narrator of myself.

3. How did the hyperlinks (the blue text that linked to websites) help you? Were there enough of them? Too many?

My answers to the Point of View assignment

1. Changing the point of view of a story changes what you know about the characters by giving you more or less information. If it is written in an ominiscent point of view, it gives you all of the information so you do not have to guess or infer anything because it gives you all of the information about the characters and their thoughts. If it is written in a first person point of view, it only gives you certain information about the character, their thoughts, and their experiences with the other characters making you think more and infer. If it is written in a third person limited ominiscent point of view, it only gives you the third person's thought about the main character making you think and infer even more than in a first person point of view.

2. I prefer reading the story in a first person point of view because I like making inferences and I don't like to know everything but I like knowing more about the main character than anyone else.

3. The hyperlinks helped by giving you extra information that you might not have known to help you better understand the story. I think that there were enough hyperlinks because they were on all of the words that I might not have known and enough for anyone that hasn't been studying the Holocaust.

4. learned that children did not start out hating jews but were taught by teachers that sometimes did not believe what they taught.

The changing point of view lets you know how each character thinks and what feelings they have towards the problem.

Omniscient, because you can learn more about the story by reading more than one person's point of view.

If I didn't know the meaning of a word, the hyperlinks helped me. There were about just enough of them.

I learned how the Jewish students were humiliated and how they felt about it.

Point of View Question

1. How does changing the point of view of a story change what you know about the characters?

Changing the point of view changes what you know about the character and story for :

If you use the first person point of view; it tells you the story very clearly and you get to feel all the characters emotions and thoughts. It is very similar to omniscient, but it`s not very clear, because it tells everyones thought. Also if it third person, limited omniscient it gives you a opinion of a person seing this event...

The're all ways of telling the story in different way so you can understand the character and story better.

2. Which point of view do you prefer reading? Why?

I prefer reading the first person, because it tells the story clearer than the other two ways and gives you all the details of his thoughts and reasons to his action. It makes you feel more involved than the other two view...

3. How did the hyperlinks (the blue text that linked to websites) help you? Were there enough of them? Too many?

I think there was too much, beacause after we learned about the Holocaust we already knew the meaning of the hyberlinked words... so I don't think we needed them at all...

4. What more did you learn about the people that lived through the Holocaust by doing this assignment?

I never knew that the teachers were already making fun of Jews even before the Holocaust really started to get out of hands... I always thought the teachers at that time was usually kinder to the Jews...

Jacobs Point Of View

A Short Story By: Cherryblossom

As I looked up at the blackboard I saw Frau Heidelberg drawing a six-pointed star, I got scared as she pressed harder and harder that the motes of chalk dust slowly fell down like ash. She slightly turned around to face the class with her pale blue eyes and her cheeks flaming red with anger. As she looked around the class, her gaze ended up on my best friend Isaac and I. I tilted my head down facing my desk to avoid her piercing gaze. I could feel all eyes on me, but especially from the back of the classroom where the headmaster sat; her eyes were strongly sitting on my back.

Isaac and I have only been friends for a few months now- ever since Marcus and the other “fine Austrian stock” as Frau Heidelberg referred to them as, stopped talking to me. Sadly all there is now is violent gestures, physical fighting or verbal fighting, insulting and more. I can’t believe that I had once thought Frau Heidelberg was so called “sympathetic” to us Jews, but I obviously thought wrong. The first time I saw Marcus pick up that sharp rock was when I had realized that Frau Heidelberg was just like all the other Germans.

I remember it clearly, Marcus was walking around with his groupies as Isaac and I were minding our own business, we were slightly glaring at each other. I saw Marcus approaching us with something behind his back , I somehow thought it wouldn’t be harmful to us , but I was completely wrong. Marcus threw a small bolder at Isaacs head with total full force, I saw Frau Heidelberg sitting by the window as I tried to help Isaac up with blood gushing out from the side of his head. She saw the entire event, I shouted out to Marcus “Look Marcus - your in trouble now!” I thought Frau Heidelberg was going to open the window to shout at Marcus, but all she did was walk away. Marcus just laughed hysterically and picked up a more sharp rock to chase us with , we ran across the field to the classroom where Frau Heidelberg was about to start class again. She stood in silence for about a minute to wait for everyone to get settled. Then said in a tense voice “ Isaac .. Jacob , come to the front of the class to face your highly superior classmates,” immediately the room became hushed from all of the whispering. Frau Heidelberg spoke again, “class, you all know this evil symbol” her voice sounded like ice and made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. I have noticed that Isaac could not move a single part of his body neither could I, this is what fright has done to me, made me frozen here in place. All I could hear is my conscious telling me to run for the hills , but I now know that won’t work considering what happened to the last kid that decided to run, I could also hear Isaac’s heart pounding in unison with mine, I was pretty sure that everyone else could the heavy beating of our hearts as well.

I kept my breathing under control and steady, but it sounded as if Isaac was having a tough time with doing that. “NOW” she shouted , once I heard the edge of her voice the blood immediately rushed to my face, Isaac and I rose from our seats worried about what might happen next. As we walked slowly to the front of the class millions of thoughts were running through my mind and I am sure that Isaac had the same thought going through his. As we got to the front of the class all I could focus on was the headmasters giant mole beside her nose, I couldn’t help it .. It was just so big. And from the corner of my eye I saw Isaac staring at the big hole in his shoe.

I could hear Frau Heidelberg writing something on the board with her spidery letters. As she finished writing I could hear Isaac quietly whimpering and some of my former classmates snickering and passing notes of some sort. “QUITE” Frau Heidelberg snapped at the class, then asked the class to read aloud the message on the board with her. As they read it their voices sounded so sinister in a way, my face turned red with embarrassment and it looked like Isaac was going to get sick at any minute.

Nothing made sense to me and I assume that nothing made sense to Isaac either , which would explain the blank look on his face. What have we done to earn the name of an “enemy?” what made us Jews so different from all the other people sitting in their desks ?? Out of all the people how could my own teacher write such a horrible and discriminating message on the board? All these questions had a simple answer but no one cared to answer them. “I wonder what Isaac is thinking right now?” I thought to myself.

For the first time the headmaster spoke from the back of the classroom “ Yes class, take a very good and close look at these two young Jews standing here before you. They are indeed your true enemy. They will do anything to take everything from you , such as your food, your job, your culture, if we let them. But don’t you worry your young little brains off class- soon this “problem” will be over and done with. Now that your Fuhrer has finally united us with Germany. Just you wait and see!”

Our faces were frowning in shame. Kids from the front row couldn’t stop staring at Isaac and I, they were saying nasty things in a loud enough voice so only we can hear them, I could not take it anymore, all this insults and ridicule was getting on my last nerve. I finally shouted out “ SHUT UP , you think your race is so superior , but deep down inside we are all the same, don’t you get it .. We are all human beings, we all deserve a fair settlement and be treated equally. So why don’t you just stop all this so called “war” with us, so we can all live in one happy world together in peace and harmony?!!” Isaac looked at me with a rage in his eyes , probably thinking “what the heck! Are you out of your mind?!” Frau Heidelberg and the headmaster looked at me also with rage in their eyes and their face growing furious and red. Before they could say anything I apologized, but that didn’t seem to help me in any way at all. Frau Heidelberg just ignored me as usual. And not only was Frau Heidelberg insulting us Jews but horrible messages were posted all around the city, and just three months ago they said that Isaacs dad was no longer able to be a doctor anymore. Jews had lost their jobs / businesses. How can things get any worse ?
