The Word that surprised me the most was  Euthanasia. this word surprised me because i never knew the word for the action of killing the jews. The word says that it was an easy and painless death for the terminally ill. they did this to "improve" the german race. this is so wrong in so many ways. the nazis were killing people painlessly? there is no painless death because other people loved that person and then they were in pain because of the killing. this was a terrible occurrence in the world.

Something that really stood out to me in part one of The Cage was how rivas life changed so much. from having an ordinary life and spending time enjoying family, her life was pretty much taken away from her. when the Nazis came in to her town they took her family and her property. how could people just take others lives away from them. this is what stood out to me the most

Blog 14: Post-Taming Exam Response

Petruchio is a very very smart man. kate was the most unliked person because of her terrible attitude and behavior. petruchio came in and ended up taming her so well that she now does anything and everything he says for her to do. when petruchio and kate first got married he let her act like herself so he could get to know how to tame her. once he knew what she was really like, he developed a wonderful plan. First Petruchio went and made sure she would not sleep. then he gave her no food. he did this because she just wouldnt listen and do what he said she should do. kate go so hungry and so tired that she had to obey him so that she could stay alive. finally she did what he wanted and she got food that day and was allowed to sleep.

Eventually she realized that without obeying petruchio, she will suffer in many ways. another test that petruchio preformed was that when he saw a man coming down the road he told kate to act like this man was a maid. kate did exactly what she was told to do and even though she looked like a fool she just wanted to be excepted by her husband. the last test was when petruchio told her that it was seven o'clock when it truthfully was two o'clock. kate started to disagree but she eventually agreed because she knew what would happen if she did not. by petruchio taming her like this he made kate a new person! now she did the things he asked without even thinking of the consequences.
