BISP Final Test

Bruno didn’t really understand what was going on when he got to “Out-With”, he saw a camp out at the distance from his window, but he never really knew what it was. Throughout the book Bruno starts to change his outlook on what is happening. The event that helps Bruno to understand a little bit better about the camp is when he goes to talk to Gretel about it. Gretel explains to him what type of people are in the camp,and why the fence is there.The quote that best shows what Gretel said is : “The fence isn’t there to stop us from going there. It’s to stop them from coming over here” page 182 Another quote that describes what Gretel said is: “ with the other Jews, Bruno. Didn’t you know that? That’s why they have to be kept together”.page 182. They can’t mix with us.”  Bruno also starts to understad better when he goes to the other side of the fence to help Shmuel find his Papa. The quotes that best describe what Bruno thought of the camp when he went under the fence is: “ In one corner Bruno cold see three soldiers who seemed to be in charge of a group o twenty men.They were shouting at them, and ans some of the men had fallen to their knees and were remaining there with their heads in their hands.” page 208. The last quote i put is when Bruno said “I don’t think I like it here” page 208.

Field trip to places of worship in china town !

Yesterday we went to the oldest place in Kuala Lumpur. There we saw some places of worship, we visited 3 sacred places the first one was:
       Islamic  Mosque:
  The mosque is a place were islamic people go to pray and worship to gods. The place is very open and it is very simetrical. I noticed that before they went in the mosque they cleaned there foot  with water,to m take them selfs clean before presenting them selfs to the gods.One of the symbol that most appeared in the mosque was the star, all the windows had that star and there was alsow a pond in the shape of the star.There is not much decorations, the place is just a open space and the color of the place is light colors like white, the place is very white.The sorouding of the place is mostly nature and its the place where Kuala Lumpur was born because the mosque is near two rivers (its the place where two rivers meet)


   The second place we went to was the Hindu temple:
The temple is very open like the mosque but the mosque dint have any color the hindu temple on the other hand was very colorful, they had all tipes of colors light colors and dark colors. In the temple there was  a lot of gods but the gods they worshiped the most are the ones that are in champers, In the temple you can see that all the gods have there way of transportation and the hindus worship them to. The hindus often give the gods offering for foods and flowers. In the temple there was a slight smell of incent but it wasnt that strong, at a certain hour of the day they do a ceremony where they bathe the gods in the champers with milk.


 The third place we went to was the chines temple:
   The chines temple was not very open it was half open and then the rest was closed. This temple was different with the colors it was very colorful but the colors that where used where only dark colors.The place has a very strong smell of incent and in the closed part there was places for you to worship and light your incent and thank the gods. The chines alsow give there gods offering but they alsow give there ansisters  offerings so they belive that when you are dead someone in your family wrights down on a peace of paper something that they can have in heaven (object) : like a car, a big house... So they belive that if they do that, their ansisters in heaven will recive there gifts and have a good life.
