Holocaust Memoir

November 22, 2016November 22, 2016quinnm2015

I was sitting on the couch in the place I call home. Here I live alongside with my mother, father, and sister. We lived as just another average Jewish family in the Holocaust, who did not have human rights. One night, while I was in a deep slumber, I heard a loud knock on the front door of my house. I was taken back because I was not sure who it could’ve been. All of a sudden the door of my house was kicked down. I was snatched away from my family. I lost the most important individuals that one could ever consume in their life. After being sent and separated away from my family, I found myself in a concentration camp all alone. Not knowing where I was, I discovered that this place was where Jews lives remain at threat. My life had already been taken away from me, and so had my family. I was able to make it past the first 2 weeks of concentration camp. I woke up one night, not able to breath. I thought I was just having an anxiety attack, but it was much worse. I started coughing, and coughing, until I realized I was coughing up blood the whole time. I jumped of fear, seeing the sight in front of me. I did not know what was happening to me. Was I going to die? Do I have a disease? All of the question I had, yet I had no one to ask. I had no one to talk to, and no one to heal me. This is what the rest of my life is going to look like – I thought to myself. I took one last deep breath taking in what I just experienced. I have been separated from my family, lost my freedom and had become very ill. Suddenly, it all went black. I was finally dead.

Analysis

This story is able to fit the World War 2 because, most people suffered losing a loved one or even losing their whole family. A great amount of Jews struggled to get help, whether it was education wise, or illness wise. In the story I talk about how this induvial got very ill. This was very common that a lot of people got ill because doctors did not have the medicine to help cure the sickened Jews. Another reason why this story can fit World War 2, is because it talked about how the concentration camps, and what they do to you, such as make you become very ill.

Mutation Story – Angelman Syndrome

May 10, 2016May 12, 2016quinnm2015

Mutation Story

I am a gene inside William’s body. This is angelman syndrome. I effect 1 in 12 million people. I was caused by a mutation in the maternal copy of the UBE3A gene. This is caused when a person, inherits two copies of chromosome 15 from his father instead of one copy from each parent. I am a genetic disorder, that will effect William’s characteristic features such as talking, developmental delay, problems with walking/moving, and hyperactive behavior. Even though I cause a lot of negative things in Williams’s life, he will still live an almost normal life span. Now that I have explained the causes and effects, I’m going to tell you a bit more about how William was effected.

When William was 6-12 months old, both of his parents started noticing delay in sitting, walking, crawling and babbling.

While William lives the rest of his life he will constantly need to be looked after, to make sure nothing bad will happen to him. Since William has angelman syndrome one effect that is known as hyperactive behaviour. The hyperactive behaviour will not only effect William but the people around him. If William doesn’t like the environment he is in, the people he is around or his muscle jerk, his reaction will be in kicking, or pinching people.

William is able to live a normal life in the day but yet again another one of the symptoms is taking over his life, which is sleep. When diagnosed with angelman syndrome, a big affect is sleep.

Questions :

What questions did you need to research in order to create your mutation story?

Some questions that I searched in order to write this story is, What are the causes, what are some effects, facts, and I even searched up some real stories about people who have Angelman Syndrome.

What new or familiar digital tools did you try to use as you worked throughout this project?

The digital tools I used for this project was usually whenever I have to write an essay I usually use information from textbooks or written stuff online, but for this one project I really wanted to know how people were effected so I watched a YouTube video about some girls story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLnDMGdeC6g

What was the process you used to investigate the topic?

The process I used to investigate this topic which is Angelman Syndrome was searching up key words, taking notes on an open word document and watching videos about this syndrome.

How did you verify and cite the information found?

I was able to verify the information I used because most cites that I went to had a lot of the same things in common as the other cites. I cited my information by putting all the links to the websites below.

How did the process of the completing this challenge go? What could you have done better?

I found completing this was fun. I really enjoyed doing this project and researching about Angelman Syndrome. Something I would’ve liked to do better would have more to my story.
