How I See The World And Will Act Tomorow
After I watched the movie, the way I look at the world has changed. I see that one man, that has power, can change everything. Now I will show more respect to the survivors of the Holocaust. And will think of the Holocaust differently. When I read the poem I learned that they didn't just go for the Jews, they went for the Catholics, the communists, and the trade unionists. I will now stand up for people who are being bullied or criticized by other people. I hope to make the world a better place.

In this book, instead of going to a family's house, the Baudelaire orphans get sent to Prufrock Preparatory School, P.P.S. P.P.S. is a boarding school with fantastic dorms.
