Journal
"No matter how many times she tried to imagine that scene with the yellow light that she knew had been there, she had to struggle to visualize it"(P.100).
Liesel has been facing so many challenges and struggles in her life, her brother has died in front of her, and she is abandoned by her mother. However, Liesel doesn't give up or complain for these tragical experiences that have happened to her. She knows that she has to fight for the darkness and fight for her own life. She goes to school and learning, reading with her foseter father after a nightmare at the midnight.
For me, I could fairly understand Liesel's feeling, the depression of losing family's members and how stressful and difficult to learn a language. Sometimes, I feel so frustrated and get tired to handle my disappointment from learning. But choosing to study in a new country and learning an unfamiliar language is what I have decided. I appreciate what I have had in my life. I know that I have to beat the challenges and struggles for myself. Also, I believe that there is a light which would gently guide the direction for me to the success.

Profiles
My sister is six years older than me, and she is twenty-four years old now. She is a mother of a little girl and soon there will be two at the end of the year! I would say that she is a excellent cooker in our house, she always loves to cook or bake some delicious foods for us. My sister and I look pretty similar when we are children. But there is one thing that make us completely different from each other, she has a vivacious and extroverted personality which I do not have it. She enjoy making new friends, trying new experiences and has a friendly smile with her all the time. However, the stronger personality of her sometimes freaked me out because the indignation would be appeared directly on her face when she is angry.
Actually, we never have a serious argument or fight with each other, maybe the opposite personality unexpectedly helps me having a more intemately relationship with her. My sister teaches me a lot of things toward the life and always be my best friend in the world.

The critical apathy towards the sufferers
Elie Wiesel’s speech and “The Lottery” both show the same theme about the indifference toward the sufferer. In the story of “The Lottery”, when the girl is being attacked by the stones, nobody is cared about her feeling or speak out to stop this terrible abuse. Also, there are plenty of examples in Elie’s speech that indicates people’s indifference of those tragic victims. Such as St. Louis affair, the ship which carried numbers of Jews was sent back by the United State, the greatest democracy country.

Top 3 Characters and Person
The top three characters and person that I decied to present toward you are the famous cartoon characters, Stitch and Donald Duck, and my little sweet nices,Lola. These three characters and person have influenced me and made my life more amusedly. Now, I will show you the reasons why I am choosing them as my top three.
Stitch is a manical little monster from outer space and is adopted by a lonely little gril called, Lilo who living with her older sister in beautiful Hawaii. Through the sroty of Stitch, they prove that family is family, no matter how out of this world some of the member might be. This is very significant to me because family is the most important thing in my life, and the humorous characterterize of Stitch is also a reason why I love it so much.
#2 Donald Duck Donald Duck is a white anthropomorphic duck with a yellow-orange bill, legs, and feet. He usually wears a sailor shirt, cap, and a red bowtie, but no pants (except when he goes swimming). Donald's most famous trait is his easily provoked and occasionally explosive temper. Also, his identifiable voice is a very arresting characteristic. The picture on the bottom is a Donald's cup which is a present from my sister. This is my favorite cup that I am used to drinking coffee every morning. Look at its long handle arm and cute bum, isn't it a wonderful cup in the world!
#1 LOLA

Her name is Lola, she is my sister's daughter and is almost two years old now. Lola is a very vivacious and amusing sweetheart in our house. She can always make me laugh when I have an awful day.

However, she still be my number one person on the list becouse she just an adorable girl that I never met before!
