Prohibition, 1927

The prohibition started around the 1920's. Prohibition was about the ban of alcohol. The government thought that by baning alcohol it would make the U.S a better place. The band of alcohol made many people angry. Little did they know that it would change the country for ever. The worlds biggest mobster Al Capone made millions just by selling alcohol. Some people started to make under ground bar's. Once the government took notice of what was happening they realised that the consumption of alcohol raised. The government fought with the people for years about the band of alcohol. Soon the prohibition ended.

The book I am reading is No Choirboy. The book is really good so far. It is about teenagers that end up on death row. They tell about there experiences in jail. They tell about how they they ended up in jail. the crazy thing about the book is that most of the kids are just average people. They were good kid they just made one mistake. Now they have to spend the rest of there life in regret.

This I Believe

My story is about death and life. This is about the good times and the bad, how I handled my own problems, and how I have learned to deal with life and death. This is my experience with the life of my son and the death of a famliy member.


I used to be married and I had a son. My son's name is Noah. He was born on august 3rd. He was 8 pounds 10 ounces and born at 12:00 am right on the dot. My wife and I wanted to start a family. Nine months later little Noah came into this world. Like all births it was a crazy experience. Even though my wife and I didn't stay together that was a night I will never forget.


I believe that in all life there is death. How people deal with death has a lot to say about them. For me I just lost someone close to me. What I did was I just sat around my house for a little bit when I heard the news. I was really lost and I had no idea what to do. I sat there and just thought about all the good times me and that person shared. I think I handled it really well considering the circumstances. Most people grieve for a long time with death. I know that most of my family will die before I do but I'm preparing myself now.


The reason I believe that with all life there is death is because it is true. Death is a part of life. Every time someone comes in this world another one leaves. That is just life. Life and death are very unpredictable that way. You have to live every day like it is your last. I believe in life and death.

What does it take to be a good citizen. I think it would take a kind person. It would take someone who is responsible. I also think that is someone who will help you fix a flat in the rain around midnight. I think that it is someone who you can call when ever you need help. No matter the time.

I used to be scared of high places. My first job was roofing. Most of the building we roofed were very high. So working on a tall building was not an issue for me any more.

I have a best friend and her name is Kayla. Kayla and I have been best friends for about ten years now. She is very much apart of my family. I am well trusted in Kayla's family. Kayla is like my sister and I'm like her brother. Kayla is also my tattoo artist.

My life without technology would be boring. I would try to do more things to fill my days. I would be late to every thing I plan. I have gone without T.V, phone and games for about a year. I really don't want to go back to that life. I am much better off with technology in my life then without it.

Dear Anne Frank

My name is Alex Gauna and I'm here to tell you a little about the future. There are many things that have changed in this new world. One of the things that you would probably want to know first is Jews are all free. This new life is like all others it has its ups and down. The food now days is really good, but it is bad for you. There is not much fighting going on.

I think that your diary was very good. It is a very good source of info. I think it would be hard to stay in the house for as long as you did. I would go crazy if I had to stay there with that many other people. I also think that not being able to go out side would be crazy too.

Once a long time ago there was a boy. There was a boy that wanted to be a fire fighter. This boy went through all the training. He dreamed of this day for a long time. The plan for him was to finish high school and then move on to collage. He was going through his final weeks of school.
The boy had some friends that were skipping class one day. He was on his way to school and ran into one of his friends. The boys friends asked him if he wanted to skip with them. The boy said yes he would go with them for the day.They had jumped in to his friends car. They were on there way to the park when they hit some black ice. The car started to lose control. The car flipped and rolled about four times. Leaving the boy in the car paralyzed. The boy was never to become a fire fighter.

Anne Frank says

What Anne is saying is that thing are only bad if you tell yourself it is bad. What you tell yourself is how they will appear. For example if you get in a 4wheeler wreck and you freak out things will appear very bad. However, if you relax things will go a lot smoother and you will probably realize that it is really not that bad.

A subject that is very appealing to me would be history. I'm not that great with any school subject. My family always tell me "If you are not very smart then you need to be able to work hard".

From what I can remember they stay in a house during the Holocaust. They have to live very silent and discreet. They have many routines/duties that they have to do through out the house. They all get kind of short with each other. The book is a great insight on what happen during the time of the holocaust.

I think at first she probably wouldn't want no body to read it. Anne might be against the idea. When she gets older she might come around to the idea. She might want to show people how life was during that it in time life for a Jew.

My favorite time of the day is the afternoon. Well, I go home after school clean and cook food for my grandma. Then I like to ride my 4 wheeler for about 3 hours. About 5 Pm I leave to the tattoo shop. From the tattoo shop I go to my friends house and just chill Till about 2. In the morning then I go home.

Anne And I write what is on our minds. Like for example if some thing great had happened to her. She would write about it as would I. The difference between Anne and I is I don't live in the holocaust and well my life is just boring. Another difference is that I could leave my house if I would like.

Anne and her sister don't seem very close. They like each other I'm sure. Staying in a house for as long as they have. You can be a little bit sort with each other. As for the beginning of the story how close they were I was not for that.

I think that Anne should be a little nicer. I don't think she should think of herself so much. She need to talk to mother and Van Daan and make peace. Maybe she could take over some duties to help them out a little more. She could try to make them understand that she is going through some changes. All these ways could help a little more then by doing nothing.

Well having a crush is nothing like being in love. The different is that a crush is when you like some one. When you love some one you want to spend the rest of your life with them. I've had a crush and I have been in love. They are not the same.

I really can't relate to the book. I never really had problems with my parents. The only thing that I can relate to is my aunt is like Mrs. Van Daan. Other then that there is nothing I can tell you about me and relating to the book.

Well I got a new tattoo last night. I think I'm going to more get tattoos on Monday. My friend is going to be a tattoo artist. She needs about 50 tattoos or 150 hours tattooing. I was my friends first tattoo last night.

The thing that I'm am afraid of heights. I don't know why I am. When I get next to the edge of a tall building I freeze and I have no idea why. I used to be a tin roofer and I hated it, but I did the work.

Mrs. Van Daan is very snotty and she is also flirty and likes to complain a lot. She thinks that she is better then most of the people in the secret annex. Anne talks about how Mrs. van Daan is in some of the pages.

I think he is calm and collected. He might be the head of the house I'm not sure. I don't really know much about Anne's father.

The walk was nice and there were lots of things to see. I seen a store with many wood house hold things. One of the things I like about down town was all the different kind of stores. There were all kind of different stores like one place had suit. Another store and bread and there was much to see. I really cant find any thing bad about down town. I'm used to being in a small town that's only one street long. So down town is nice for me.

I get my news from the paper when I read it. I don't really keep up on the news. There is never really any good news.

So far what I have learned about the book is that they think Anne is the problem child. Anne just likes to speak her mind and she can get a little heated form time to time. The city they live in is being bombed and under constant fire. I think that can be a little stressful on most people.

Like most people say love is blind. Like for instance when man loves a woman. When your in love you don't know you just feel strange and you really cant explain what is going on with your feelings. In my case love sucks because I was married and now I'm right in the middle of a divorce.

The book I have been readying is going very well. The story is about a boy that is sheltered his whole life. He gets a international pin pal. He flies to were she lives. Hoping to find her but instead of finding her he finds a book that is a ghost story.

Well Anne's mother try's the tuff love thing on her. That not what she like. She like to be told how good she is doing not just assumed that her parents think shes doing good. Anne acted tuff and just let a lot slide. anne is not very nice to her mom.

What I had heard was that Hitler wanted to make the best human. If it still going on it is for money and power. Most is for oil now days and other things like weapons bombs and other military accessorise.

I read when I can. Am so busy most of the time that I don't have time to read. When I do read it is drama punk. The book is very nice. Its about the punk movement that had happen. I read for about an hour.

I like the story so far. I like that it is a story about the hard times in history and like teddy roseavelt said "The more you know about the past the better you are prepared for the future".
The setting make the story I think.

She mean that she has to make sure she is a good example not only for her self but for others as well. Today world is so much differnt most off the time you get kids that are hope that there mom and dad will do every thing for them. She means that she is trying to take care off her self

Well the thing that bug me most are is a negitve personality because when you hang out with a person with a bad personality you start to get one. Another thing that bug me is people being late to whereever they have to go. The things that I do to irritates im really not sure.
