Death Camps
The Holocaust is a grim reminder of what evil people can do to each other. They murdered millions of people, many of them were Jews. Others included Jehovah’s Witness, homosexuals, midgets, and political prisoners. One of the most gruesome things of the Holocaust was the death camps. There were six death camps in total. The Holocaust remains one of the worst genocides in the twentieth century.
One of the most notorious death camps that the Nazi’s had was Auschwitz-Birkenau according to jewishgen.com it was known as the Death Factory. There were also two other camps in the Auschwitz complex as well as many subs camps. There were seven gas chambers that used Zyklon-B poison gas to murder people. They had three Crematoriums running just about nonstop cremating bodies. (www.ushmm.org). From, my personal visit to Auschwitz the place just seemed completely evil. I saw the sign that said “work will make you free” this gave me a terrible feeling because I knew many people never left this gate alive. I couldn’t bring myself to go through. I had just gotten a terrible feeling and my head started to hurt has I walked up to the gate of Aushwitz.
One of the other horrific Nazi death camps was Chełmno and it was established in December 7th, 1941. It was set up in the town of Chelmno, about 50 miles away from Lodz which had a ghetto setup in it. The camp was very primitive they used the church in town to hold the people being sent to the gas chambers. The Nazis used three gas vans to carry out these brutal murders. The Nazis red directed the vans exhaust was redirected up in the van so that they would die of carbon monoxide. They were also lined with tin and air tight. They had wooden lattice on the floor so, that clean up would be quicker. The camp murdered around 150,000 people in all there are only 2 known survivors of the camp. (http://www.jewishgen.org) I never got to see Chelmno but my uncle a world traveler got to meet one of the survivors in Poland, while he was visiting the camp. The survivor was talking about his experience at the camp. He also talked about the process that the Nazis murdered the people at Chelmno. First they would put around fifty people in one of the Nazi gas vans and drive it to a hole that prisoners had been digging. Once the prisoners got to the large hole the dead bodies would be thrown in and filled in with a bulldozer. Sometimes the prisoners would even be alive when buried.
These two camps are just two of the horrific camps that were run during the holocaust. There were many brutal murders that happened everywhere in Europe and they need to be remembered so, history won’t repeat itself. Never forget what happened during the holocaust.

Fishing
Trip
As
I walked slowly to the boat the air was crisp and salty. As I boarded the boat,
I was followed by my dad and my crazy uncle that was already drunk at ten in the morning. As soon as I had
gotten on the boat it smelled like rotting fish. I saw a one of the deckhands
cutting up squid very fast I felt very excited for some reason like it was my
first time ever fishing. There were several people other people slowly boarding
the boat, a few minutes later the captain got on the load speaker and said “All
aboard.” Then I head the Diesel engines fire up. It sounded very loud like jet
engine.
There
were many people abort the old salty boat. A family of four was there they were
very nice people all with blonde hair and blue eyes. There was also a couple a
man and women, the man had black greasy mullet and his wife was a rather large
lady that was smoking like a chimney. Most of the people on the other side of
the boats cabin were drunk college kids that were very disorderly. We all set
on a bench by the couple the lady was puffing on cigarettes like crazy it was
one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen. The mullet guy was sitting
on the boats bench sleeping loudly as the boat was rocking back and forth.
There was a deck hand with really dark tan skin from the sun and being on the
boat all year. He slowly opened up can can of Spam. Then, he pulled out his
filet knife and began to cut the spam. He would cut it then the meat then
gently get it on his knife and eat it off the dirty blade. It honestly looked
like an accident ready to happen considering that most fillet knifes are razor
sharp or sharper.
The
deck hand quickly went from eating to getting the fishing poles ready like in a
instant. He then yelled to everyone to come inside and talk to the captain.
Everyone went inside the boats cabin very quickly to get out of the heat. As
everyone squeezed in the boat's cabin it was still cooler,than the deck most
likely because of air conditioning. The captain came in he was a old man
wearing a hat also very tan from the sun. The first words he said were “Would
anyone like to like to put five dollars in a pot for the biggest fish caught?”
Just about everyone but the kids put five dollars in the pot. After that
everyone but the captain when outside and quickly grabbed a grimy old fishing
pole. As I looked over my fishing pole I noticed that it was covered in blood
most like likely from a shark or just cleaning fish. I walked up to the spot I
would be fishing near the front of the boat. I look down to find a giant bucket
of bait it looked like squid and other random fish. I gently grabbed a piece of
smell squid and placed it on a razor sharp hook. Finally, I cast out and the
vigorous waiting began.
Soon
after I cast my line I felt a nibble'. I set the hook quicker than a second. I
began to reel it up, I reeled up for a few seconds but it felt like forever.
After I reeled it up to the top there was a red fish with sharp looking fins on
it and jagged teeth. The deckhand came over and told me it was a red snapper
also that they were good eating. Then I put it in a basket of ice for later so
hopefully, I would have a good dinner. As I looked over at my uncle was
struggling with a fish he had on but he finally got it up and it was a octopus.
Suddenly it shot ink all over the rail. The deckhand cut the line it just went
back into the water and swam off like a bat out of hell.
I caught several more fish my small ice bucket
was looking very full. Then all of the sudden I saw a fin in the water it was a
dolphin jumping out of the water. A few minutes later I noticed another fin
coming out of the water, but this fish wasn't jumping. Then it came
near were to the boat suddenly. It turned out to be a 3 foot lemon shark
and very shocking sight. The captain must have saw it because he came over the
boats loud speaker and said, “There will be no sharks on this boat.”
Immediately
after the captain came on, my dad said “I'm going to catch the shark.” Swiftly
my dad baited his hook and threw that bait right in front of the shark. Soon
after that the shark violently grabbed the bait and the reel started to
struggle and make a lot on noise. My dad then began to crank the reel quickly.
He had gotten the shark almost to the boat went the fun police showed up aka
the captain and he cut the line. This
was very disappointing considering my dad had always wanted to catch a shark.
This was quite the disappoint to my uncle because he was still drinking and
could hardly stand up.
Following
the shark insistent the smoking lady stated to scream and her fishing pole was
just about straight down. Then her husband and a deck hand came over to help
the mad women. I when back to fishing then after about five minutes she got the
fish in. It was a 40 pound brown grouper fish it didn't look happy at all and
it was thrashing all over the deck violently.
We
all put our fish in the giant cooler in the back of the boat and headed back to
the dock. My dad, uncle, and I all set down on the boats beat up bench till we
got back. After we got back the smoking lady got her pot money for the biggest
fish. I felt up set about not getting the biggest fish but that changed really
quick. This mainly because my awesome mom and brother showed up to congratulate
use on actually catching fish for once. Immediately, after that the deck hands
had filleted our fish and we all went back to our condo.

This weekend all I did was work. I worked on a house that me and my dad are fixing up and it is beginning to become a money pit. I repainted the whole house as well as taking down the old wall paper witch is a complete pain and takes forever. I got it done even know the person that put it on used way too much glue.I also stripped the paint off the windows because it was chipping. Yet by far the most annoying thing is painting ceilings this takes for ever and you occasionally get paint all over you.

Float Trip to the
Middle of Nowhere
A few years back in high school my friends and I wanted to go on a float trip. We called around to all the canoe rentals in the area to see if there was enough water in the river to have a float trip. We called the places on different rivers but all of them said that the water was low and maybe a mile of the river is floatable. We finally called a place down near Ava Missouri it was called Twin Bridges Canoe Rental they said that we could float two miles and camp for free. So we when to our local price cutter and got hot dogs, water, and a lot of other snacks. Then we packed up our tents, sleeping bags, flashlights and other stuff. The next day we loaded the stuff into my truck and my friend’s car. Then we set off to the middle of nowhere.
After we set off to Twin Bridges it was all we saw was trees fields and cows. The roads were very up very steep and had very sharp turns it made me very nervous being a beginning driver only being sixteen and all. We finally go there and they asked if we were eighteen we said no. so they said we could not camp on the river on an overnight float, which was extremely upsetting to us. We agreed and loaded up on an old dirty van the head lining was falling down there was beverage cans everywhere on the floor. It looked like it hadn’t been clean in at least 20 years. Then after, waiting 20 minutes of waiting on the driver in the nasty van the driver finally showed up. He looked like a guy that had been drinking last night. Finally he started the van up it backfire several times. Then we when thought more farms, trees, and other country junk.
After the long country drive we with the driver speeding probably going fifteen over we finally got to the river. It was a slow moving but clear as just cleaned glass. We finally made it to the river after four o’clock of driving were finally at the river. So the five of us got into the canoes except Nick he got kayak because one canoes only fit two people. We pushed off and off we went down the river. It felt like freedom no cell phones no buildings everywhere just the river and the woods that surrounded it. Everyone had floated a good ways and then we probably went the wrong way and rain into some major rapids. There was a forty foot tree that had been downed recently, we thought about getting out but did not. There was maybe half foot water so as normal Sixteen year olds would do we tried to go over it. The first canoe to try was my friend Josh and Brandon they went half way over and all of the sudden they were stuck on the log. Then abruptly my friend Nick came flying in on his kayak and slammed into their canoe. Thus they all splashed in to the water along with the snacks for the day. Subsequently, after all of us went through the food then determined that the soggy Oreos and Pringles were not edible, we took off again.
After floating down the river a little bit more, we came up on some faster moving rapids. My canoe went through first we made it through on fazed. Then Brandon’s and josh's canoe went through, but they hit a rock and flipped again. The two of them took off down the river then a few seconds later I found my friend Brandon hanging in the water on a branch of a thorn tree. I quickly reacted and pulled him out of the tree by pulling the thorns out of his shirt and shorts. Everyone felt much better after that indent was over.
After the tree situation we floated the rest of the way down the river and got back on the nasty old van and headed back to the camp ground. Once we got there we drove over to our camping spot. There was a bunch of rednecks playing their music load as possible right by our camp site this was really annoying. Josh decided to follow a tail that when towards the river, he found a large gravel bar. The next thing we knew josh came up and said “why don't we camp on the gravel bar? We wouldn’t have to deal with the rednecks and their noise. So we grabbed all hour stuff and the firewood.
Thus everyone was setting up the two tents therefore, Nick and I decided to make the fire so we could make some dinner. I proceeded to light the fire; nick pulled out a bottle of lighter fluid along with a lighter and said “step back.” I stepped back really quick and he sprayed the lighter fluid on the pill of sticks then he lighted the sticks then poof the fire was roaring. We added the logs after a while. Then we proceeded and stated cooking our hot dogs over the fire. A lot of them were burned but we didn’t care at all it was food.
Finally, we were finished with dinner and decided to hit the sack. We slept a few hours and someone woke up yelling. I woke up as well and looked out my tent window and noticed three lights south of us there were green, red, and white light. We started to yell at them and they just disappeared immediately. To this day we have no clue what it was. The next day we got packed up and proceeded home. Everyone was really confused about what the lights were. It was made clear that we were tired because my friend fell asleep on the way home. I think it was just a normal day for being in the middle of nowhere.

Last night I was watching the football game so I was up late. This morning I eagerly woke up to find my yellow Labrador retriever fast asleep at the end of my soft bed. I jumped out of my soft comfortable bed to brush my teeth with my crest spin brush and my extra white teeth toothpaste. Then I rushed quickly out the door while having my Listerine cool mint in my mouth. I got to my shiny red GMC Sierra truck with the chrome rims and speeded vigorously to college.
