Stolen for twenty years?

20 years ago, 19 days after a woman gave birth, her newborn child was stolen. 20 years later, they were finally reunited. The ‘kid’ had grown up with a different name and family, having not known she was stolen. It would be sad knowing right after you’ve had a baby, it was stolen and you would never see it again. Also, you wouldn’t even know if it was alive. It’s very awesome that in the end, the got back together with eachother. It would be kind of awkward not knowing what your kid has done for the past 20 years. This important to realize because maybe one day you could be like “Oh, I’m going to give birth” Then someone steals your child. It’s sad D: But I’m happy they got re-united in the end.

Conflicts: Book Thief

When you think conflict, usually the first thing that comes to mind is Man Vs Man. But that’s not just the only type of conflict out there.

Max Vandenburg (Did I spell that right?) has a lot of conflicts in the book. First of all, he has a Man Vs. Society conflict because he is a Jew and everyone is out to get him. True fact, because if anyone ever saw him, they would have to turn him in to the Nazis because Jews are ‘very bad’ apparently. Another conflict that Max has is the whole fact where he is homeless and needs to find another place to hide in or off to the concentration camp he goes! Max also has this big conflict where he really dislikes Hitler. Who would like Hitler anyways? Honestly, Max Vandenburg (I don’t how to spell his last name) has a lot of hardship and conflicts in his life.

So basically Max has tons of conflict in his life. When Hans got in trouble for throwing bread at that Jew, it made Max realize what he is putting the family through and so he left. Nobody really knows where he went, but he has more conflicts to deal with now. Seeing as how he is practically homeless now. I hope that the war will be over and Max wont have to hide anymore. Then all of his many conflicts would disappear.

New Japanese Landmark?

Yes!
Currently, in the grand ole’ city of Tokyo, Japan, they are working on building the tallest building/landmark in the world called the ‘Tokyo Sky Tree’. By December of 2011, it’s suspose to be 634 meters! Whoah. At the moment, it’s only 530 feet though. It’s a pretty cool project, I must say. It’s going to have 3 main uses; The first use is for it to be a landmark that will attract even more tourists. Second off, it’s going to be this big antenna for broadcasting and stuff. Lastly, it’s going to be used for an ‘infrastructure for disasters’. Anyways, they started building this thing in 2008 and now it’s going to be finished. Pretty cool. I bet it cost a large sum of money. People can’t wait to ‘water’ the tree when it’s done being built. (As in climb it, take pictures of it, etc.)

Australian Floods

Down under in Australia, a storm has caused massive flooding in some places. In one city, the mayor says it may take up to a year to clean up all the damage from possibly the worst flood in ages! Whoa. In the city of Rockhampton, they had to evacuate 500 people, and they have to stay away from their homes until the flooding stops. It’s crazy how floods can do so much damage!
In the place of Queensland, four thousand people have been forced from their houses because of driving rain that left most of the place under a sea, basically.  1,200 homes were inundated and tons more were damaged from the flooding.
Even some of the mines in the country are being shut down because of all this flooding that has been happening in Australia. Apparently the flood in Queensland is about the size of france. That’s one huge flood! It’s weird all the things that’s been happening lately with the random dieing birds and fish. And now some random flooding in Australia, that’s crazy! Random good article about the floods: HERE! 
The bad thing is also, they are expecting even more rain! How can one place have so much rain? Snakes are even swimmin’ around in the flood waters getting randomly in people’s homes. I would be very paranoid if I was in Australia. It’s also very weird that in Brazil too, there are floods going on.
