 all alone at the end of the book.

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.
