I would do it because I might convince people that my idea is right. Then they will stand up with me and convince more people that that what these people are standing up for is right, and more, and more, and so much more people than the government can handle. More people will be so happy that they stood up for what was right to them.
ReplyDeleteCory I think that it is a good idea to have strength in numbers and overtake government.
DeleteCory the part where you say "More people will be so happy that they stood up for what was right to them" that part was so powerful! :) :) :) :).);)
DeleteI said the same thing.I would too get more people to believe in what is right. I would to get so many people that the govorment could not handle all of the people. Nice job!
DeleteI would stand up to you.Good job Cory!

DeleteI think you are totally right and I agree to say yes.
DeleteWOW! You did amazing on what you said. Love when you said that I would stand and would convince other people to stand with you. Love your peace.
DeleteI totally agree and you are so right I think if did as much as you could people would probably listen to you and I would totally be by your side through it all!
DeleteI would express my opinion because if somebody didn’t speak up then nothing would be done about it. Being as daring as I am I wouldn’t care if I was put in jail. I would easily be free and openly express my own opinon. Even if I had to move from place to place I would tell everyone to help even if I had to would learn a different language besides my own. Also Hitler as most of us now know was an extremely horrid man he made really terrible decisions for Germany. Plus they always say “Actions are stronger than words.”. Aswell as for the sake of human beings being alive, if Hitler hadn’t died humans would be extinct. I am Ruari Purcell and I approve this message!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Ruari! You put a great amount of detail and opinion in your answer. I would express my opinion to. (:
DeleteI agree with everything you said Ruari and I like the quote “Actions are stronger than words.”
DeleteFunny ending (-: I like how you used discrimination when you said you would not care to jail and would not care if this or that happened. Really great job on you writing!!
DeleteI couldn't agree more Ruri if nobody would speak there mind then nothing would be done but I'm not as daring as you so you go and do. Good job!:)
DeleteThanks guys and gals! Thank you for supporting my opinion!
DeleteHitler was indeed a horrid man! I love how you said"I am Ruari Purcell And I approve this message. Great job Ruari!
DeleteI would do it because I could get a chance to say what a I want to say and people would know. I could also let people know I am fearless. I could also change peoples points of view.
ReplyDeleteWell it depends on what will happen. If I will be put in jail for 2 years yes but if it is 20 years no. It will all depends on what will happen
ReplyDeleteWhat would you do if your country was about to fall?
DeleteI would go 20 year in jail if it meant that my opinion got heard by thousands of people. I would save my country!!
DeleteYes I would do it because it is better safe than sorry.And if I had to do something to save the country, I would do it for my country.So this is why I would go to jail for saving our country.
DeleteYes I would do it because it is better safe than sorry.And if I had to do something to save the country, I would do it for my country.So this is why I would go to jail for saving our country.
ReplyDeleteAndy I would be just as daring and take that jail time.
DeleteI like your work. I would go to jail to. "Better safe than sorry".
DeleteThank you guys!
DeleteI'm glad that you're willing to save your country,Andy! I love your response!
DeleteI think that I would express my opinion because I think it is important to say what you feel and what you believe in, I don’t think it would matter if you go to jail as long as you were heard.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it doesn't matter if you go to jail just as long as you get heard.
DeleteYea, Sydney people should feel what they say!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
DeleteIf I was a writer and there was a possibility that I would go to jail if I spoke up for myself I would still do it. I would want my opinion heard! I don’t really care if I go to jail. I would want my opinion heard in a tough time! My opinion might make other people stand up for themselves. Then maybe there would be to many people for the “opponent” to handle. Then we could put things back in place. If it does not I will not put up a fight to not go to jail. I will welcome jail like a long lost friend!
ReplyDeleteI would do the same! Good job Emma!

DeleteI totally agree with you;I think that people’s opinion should be heard no matter what.People should not have to go to jail just for saying their opinion.Phenomenal response Emma H.
DeleteWe all know that we would get out of jail unless we did a horrible crime, so I totally agree with you Emma!
DeleteI agree with you Emma, I really liked you response. I thought you had a really powerful response. I like how you said "I don't really care if I go to jail". I think you did a great response. :-)
DeleteI think you did a great job wording that, Emma!! I think that it would be dangerous, yet courageous, to put up a fight, as you said.
DeleteI would express my opinion because I would run away almost immediately after I expressed my opinion, but if I was caught I would express my opinion in jail and they couldn't do anything about it.The only thing they could do is keep me in there for a longer period of time.If I didn’t express opinion I would run away so I could still express my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't run away because some people might like what you said but not know who you are.
DeleteWhy would you run away from what you say. I would miss you, you are my buddy Ben.
DeleteIf there was a possibility that I could go to jail for expressing my opinion, I would still do it. I would still express my opinion because I think everyone should, and not keep your feelings inside. When I would express my feelings I would not run away from what I say. I would do that because I don’t care what would happen to me, as long as I get to say or to write what I think is right. From my point of view I would encourage you to express what you think is right, and to not run away right after you do so. Still if you would run away I would respect your feelings and let you go, but I still would want you to stay.
ReplyDeleteGabe I agree with you all of us are like flowers let them bloom.
DeleteGabriel,good job!Believe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Delete:)
DeleteI agree that you should say what you think. Great job Gabe!
DeleteI think that we mean the same thing, while I said it in wars with resistance.
DeleteGabe,That was a amazing post I totally agree with you.
DeleteI would express my opinion because if something was wrong no one would stand against it, and then it will eventually turn into something very bad like Hitler. I wouldn't run away and hide I would want to be heard more and more until I got a bunch of people to help go against it, and then it will finally go away and stay behind us. And if I go to jail I still know I did something great to help people stand up for their opinion.
ReplyDeleteYes, Emma no one would stand up for what they believe in!!!!!:)
DeleteIt is a hard decision to make because of a billion reasons, but based on the side I am most leaning toward, I would say that yes I would express my opinion and here is the main reasons why,
ReplyDeleteIt would make a strong point to the country that they are making the wrong choice, even if you went to jail for it.
If nobody said anything about it many bad things would happen, there would likely be more wars than ever, and maybe all the jewish people would die.
Last, I would say this because I came up with this quote based on other quotes, “ I would state my opinion because I am strong, I am unique, and no one can defeat me!”
WOW!!! Your a great writer and I totally do the same thing!!!
DeleteI love how you added that quote!
DeleteI love that you are so confident about your country! I like your response
DeleteJenna I love how you added that quote!!!!!:)
DeleteI think I would want expressed my opinion because I would believe in what I say. It is not right to get thrown into jail. I believe in trust and people should believe in trust too! You should stand up for what you believe in.

ReplyDeleteIf I could expressed what I thought but would go to jail for doing it I would because it would be the right thing to do. The message would tell people what is right and people will follow. Even though I would be in jail people would read my thought and that will make a difference. If I didn’t say what I thought and stayed safe there wouldn’t be that difference and the world wouldn’t be the same. Even though I be in jail it would be better that way.
If I could speak my voice and share my opinion I would, but if I would be arrested for it I would still write but not to the public. I would share with very few people. I might have wrote a few books and shared them with people that might have been in something like the resistance but would not make a speech or write in the paper. So I’m sort of in the middle with this and what I would do.:)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, Ryann! I feel that I am in the middle,too!! :)
DeleteThanks! I know I would not speak out loud but I would not stay quiet if I had to choose I wouldn't be able to. Thanks for agreeing with me.;)
DeleteIf there was a possible chance saying that I should go to jail, just for speaking what I believe, I think I would keep speaking my feelings, because that’s the right thing to do in my opinion. I could join a resistance or flee the country, and I got caught and sent to jail, it wouldn’t be for being a criminal, or hurting someone. It would just be because I felt like I was speaking the truth. So it wouldn’t be an actual crime. Or I could still speak about it to family, just not to public.
ReplyDeleteWe expressed our thoughts in the same way, but I was more direct about specific wars and resistance.
DeleteIf I had a choice to possibly go to jail and express my opinion against something I disagreed with, or keep safe with things in the world I would express my opinion about things. If people think about things long enough they would figure out that things are wrong in at bad times. That is what happened to the Roman empire when they had the world in their hands. If you remember back in fourth grade in Number The Stars the resistance fought the Germans. That was them expressing their opinion just with the consequence being death. They knew what they were doing with the consequences. In the times of the Roman’s the people realized that they were in a bad situation. The people were not near as powerful than the people in charge. With all these people fighting why should I not??
ReplyDeleteYes, I would express my opinion even if I had to go to jail because people can’t tell me what to do with my writing. I’d write whatever I wanted to say about Hitler. So I would express my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading all the chapters, I think the main theme was being a family. Before Papa left, the family was a happy family. But when they all left Berlin, the family wasn’t close anymore. When Papa left for Zurich, Anna, Mama, and Max followed and ended up living in Zurich. After a couple weeks, Mama, and Papa left to go see Paris, France for a week. When Mama, and Papa got back, they had decided to live in Paris. For two years, Anna and her family lived there and would get into arguments here and there. They drove a part more and more. They decided to leave Paris, they were closer as a family in London, England. That was how the book ended.
