In the story they introduce Fagin as a '' Very old shriveled Jew '' with a '' villainous-locking and repulsive face '' which is really wrong.
Because they could always said it in another way and they didn't have to use the world Jew, you should never write something bad directed to a whole race, they could have describe him as a old and shriveled man instead.
If someone will try to print a book like that i don't think they will come so long. Because in this days we have started to think about things like this. To not write racistic is a part of our everyday, but in the times that this book where print it didn't exist such a thing as print laws which we have today.
But if the book would get print today and they started to sell them in normal book stores ,i think that a wave of angry groups in the society would fight against the print publisher.
Not just Jews but also Christians and Muslims, because in that case i don't think they will let it pass just because it's about jews and not them selfes. In this times we have a better picture of whats not okay, but that doesn't count everyone. Of course it will be groups out there who just will read the book and not even notice the bad things they say about the Jew and other groups will think that Dickens had a hundred percent right. A book like this wold start big fights and maybe it would take it so long that it would start a new war with the county who publics books like that.
People would be upset and newspapers will right about it, it would start a conflict between the racists and the other people, the book printer and the newspapers, and it would be hard to stop it because what can they do? They could stop printing them but that wouldn't stop the discussions and the book printers would never more sell a book thanks to this incident.
But thanks to that people today are so well informed about racism today i don't thin a book printer nowadays would risk it's whole future just to print one book so thanks to that i don't think we need to worry about that a book like this would be printed.
It's really not okay to write about a race in a negative way, sure you can have a character in a book who is the bad one, but then describe him as old, mean, thief, angry or aggressive not as a Jew. Because the world ''Jew'' shouldn't be seen as a insult.

Film review
Director Frank Coraci
Writers Steve Koren and Mark O'Keefe
Starts Adam Sandler, Kate Beckinsale , Christopher Walken, Henry Winkler, David Hasselhoff
Running Time 107 minutes
Made in US 2006
Movies who want us to be thankfull for what we have could be counted up to a million, but theres not that many of them thats a comedy. Exacly like the movie ''Wizards of waverly place the movie'' where Alex whos always unpleasunt to her family, of mistake casts a spell that changes the past so that her parents never meet, it changes her life but in the end she fixes everything and starts to be thankfull for her family. The same thing could describe ''Click'', it´s also a comedy where they have the same theme.
The film teaches us that we really should be thankfull for life as it is today, we should some times just stop thinking about that work we could have in future or that great feeling we can have on christmas becouse like so many other people alredy said it´s not about the goal it´s about the journey there.
The story followes Michel Newman ( Adam Sandler) through his life wherer working as an architect is a big part of his days. He´s married and have two beautiful children and a nice house, but he´s still not happy. He always want something he dosen´t have, so one day he meet a mysterious man named morty who gives him a universal remote control an warns him it could never be returned. Michael starts to play with the control and skips fights and different parts, but the remote control learns after what he does and starts to skip big parts of his life.
The story is in present and it´s always hard to know whats going to happend. You´re always seing the story through Michaels eyes and somtimes he uses the remote control to go back in time and watch different things, for example his birth.
The actors are grate and they really make you feel in to the movie like your a part of it. Adam Sandler playes the role perfect with his facial expressions thats perfect for his character. He plays the the busy dad of two children perfectly with his tirde eyes and irritable mood. The same thing about their dogs, becouse they actually have 3 dogs different times and they teached them well what to do becouse all their dogs really like their cuddly toy duck.
''Click'' give you this wow feeling, becouse it really feel like you get a secret to hold on to. You learn to be happy for what you have today and it may give you some tears in your eyes but most of all a lot of laughs. But ofcourse there will always be people who don´t laugh or learn anything from the film, but then again you might get something from it.

Book Review
Betrayed - A House Of Night Novel - Book 2
1. One of the many conflicts in the book is between the main character Zoey Redbird and her mother and stepdad. Since Zoey became a vampire, she's been leaving in the House of night with other young vampires and for the first time since she moved there it's time for a parent visit. Zoeys mother and stepdad is both christians and they treat Zoey like a monster when they meet, they say that the vampires way to live is sinful and wrong. It's the stepdad who starts the fight , her mother is just standing quietly back of her husband. Zoeys stepdad start screaming at her, he says she's a creature of the dark and after a while Zoeys teacher Neferet comes to help her. Neferet says that if the don't respect their way of life and their faith, they could go home now. She says that the vampires dón't make fun of Christianity and therefore they can show some respect for them. The conflict ends with that her stepdad decides He says they do not want to mix with vampires and then he walk to the door and zoeys mother follow and that's the last time in this book she meets them.
2. - Zoey, I can't belive what you've gotten yourself into now.
This is the last thing her mother says before she leave. She's angry becouse she think her daughter have become a monster who lives in the dark.
- Heath, there's no point, there can't be anything between you and me.
When Zoeys ex boyfriend comes to her school to ask why she dosen't anwser his calls and messages Zoey anwser this. She can't have a human bofriend when she's a vampire and only want to drink his blood, witch is totaly forbidden. I think here is the first time Heath starts to understand it's not going to be them anymore. It's terrible to se how sad he gets even tho hes drunk. They have been together for a long time and he really miss her, but Zoey has to say no here.
- Ohmygod! Stevie Rae has an affinity for earth!
Here's when Zoeys best friend derive the power of earth for first time, the room smells like flowers and threes and Zoey says this sentence whith joy. Many chapters before you started to feel something around Stevie Rae was wrong, at first you thought that she dosen't gonna complete her transformation into a vampire and die. So when i read this i where happy for a while becouse i really like the character Stevie Rae.
- Would, you tell my mamma and daddy that i love them?
This is where you understand Stevie Rae is going to die, it's exactly after that she get her power from earth and thats why it really came as a shock. This is one of the last things she say before her heart stop beating. It's really a big part of the book becouse its zoeys best friend who dies.
- A ghost? Her laugh was sneer. No i ain't no damn ghost.
This sentence is from the end of the book and it's exacly when Zoey gets to know that Stevie Rae isn't really dead she got life again but she's not really a vampire she's a newborned red vampire and she's really evil now but Zoey thought she can make her good again. This part of The book is a bit of strange becouse you have exacly accepted that she's dead.
3. I don't think there is any really message of The book it's most about teeange problems and normal things. I think The book is most a
Entertainment, One thing in The book that could be The message is maybe to Belive in yourselfe. Becouse Zoey don't really Belive in herselfe but she's The most powerful Young vampire on The school she have big marks who show how powerful she is and as time goes on in The book she belive more and more in hereself and thats what you have to do build it upp you can't do it on One day but slowly slowly you can start Belive in yourselfe. Another message of The book could be that you should be tankfull for The people you have around you becouse you never know what happends in The future, people can die or even get sick today.

Lollipops and Guns / Responding to literature
- What is the main idea - the message?
I think the message of the text is that even when we think that we don´t care, there is still a human part of us inside saying, `` This is wrong``.
You can clearly see in the text how Miro change, from that it was just a mission to kill some people to really see that it´s not just ``some people``, it´s real people , with familys and dreams. Miro thought in the begining that he was going to kill the man who were suposed to drive the bus, but instead it´s a youg women driving the bus. Artkin made clear to Miro that he have to kill her becouse she have seen to much and here Miro get chocked he was prepearing to kill a man, who could hit back, who would have a chance. Not a women who can´t even do anything if he tried to shoot her. You can see from the begining that Miro is the only one in his gang who really feel sorry for the people they where going to kill. He thought things like `` did he know that tomorrow at this time he would be mute, cilent, still forever?``, the other ones where just planning the takeover of the bus. I think Miro where gentler like person than Artkin , he seemed so unemotional and mean. Artkin wanted to give back to the people who he said had stolen his country, he didn`t really care about even killing children. So back to the question, what i think the message of the text was, like i said i think it`s much about that evrybody have feelings, even the worst thief. I also think the author wants us to stay up for a moment and think a little about what we are doing and how it can affect others. For example if it end up with that Miro shoots Kate, it would not just affect her, it would affect her family, all the children and their parents, no one will feel safe to take the bus in the area. Miro would probobly lose all his feelings and be just as unemotional as Artkin. Miro felt really sorry for the child who died of the sleeping drug, while Artkin didnt even care, he just wanted his revange.
