Intro-In the story Night the main confict is between Elie and himself. Events caused Elie to think differently. He starts to act differently towards jis own father, and in the end his fatherstarts to become an obstacle to Elies own survival rates.
1st body-(t.s) In the beggining of the story Elizer wants to stay as close to his father as possible and does not want to get split apart from him. He cared abouthis father dearly, and would not let anything come between them.
(lead in)Elizer and his dad are right by eachother and Elizer would do anything to be secure by his dads side. He wouldnt let anything or any one change his mind of him being by, or making sure that his father would never leace his side.
(cd#1)"I took my fathers hand I couldnt be seperated from him...'''form Fives"" said the SS officer. I ran steadily to my fathers side, hoping i can be back home,"
(commentary) In this quote elizer talks about how him being by his dad will let him"escape" the pain he is in.He pretty much expalins that not being with his dad will completley ruin his time at the camp, as if that already hasnt happned.Being seperated from his dad will " set the trigger" because he was alreayd sepereated from his mom and sister, so now his only loved one he has is his father. So he denies any part of being spereate from him at all times, not letting anything worse happen for him.
(transition) Things start to change when he sees other people and events happen that he starts to do differently to his own father
(t.s) Around the middle of the book Elizer sees incidents that change his attitude in a way , towards his dad.
(lead in) Elizer sees that his main focus on the camp is to survuve, SO in the middle of the book he sees that ohther people around him are "forgetting" about their own loved ones.
(cd#2) " ... he collapsed. His fist was still clenched around a small peice. He tried to carry it to his mouth, But the other one threw himself upon him and snatched it. The old man again whispered something , let out a rattle, and diedamid the genereal indifference. His son searched him, took the bread and began to devour it.. others joined in.When they all withdrew, next to me were two corpse, side by side, the father and the son."
(commentary)In this quote Elizer sees a son, kill his onw fatrher, for only a piece of bread. This is an act that Elizer sees, and i think, in a way changed his ways of his new survival mehtods. That he needs to survive anyway possible.
(transition) Elizer starts to become more selfish, and thinks more about surivial than his dad. He now knows that its either live, or die because of trying to get others to live.
(t.s) At the end of the book elizer starts to get over obstacles of his dads life, and starts to think about himself more often.
(lead in) now that survial is becoming more limited, Elizer thinks that his life is becoming more important to his older father.So he starts to become more indepedent of his dad.
" Listen to me , boy. Dont forget that your in a concentration camp. Here every man is to fight for himself, and not think of any one else. Even his own father... I listned to him without interupting.He was right, i thought in the most secret region of my heart, but i dared not to admit it."
(commentary) in this quote Elizer is starting to think more about himselfand not about his fater. H enknows that lving through out the camp is more imprtant than his own dads life. He knows that his father is more likely to die, with or without the camp, and that this is a thing he wants to change.

Thesis: Throughout the story The Dinosaurs , the charecter Q finds his true identity, and is able to come at peace when he is able to act himself.
First Body: In the begging of the book Q is compelty confused on who he is. Since he has not been out , and by other species in such a long tiime, he forgets how to act as himself. When he encounters the new ones for the first time, he is scared of them, even though he is way larger and bigger. He dosent know how to talk to them without scaring them away . But when he does finally talk to one, he dosent act as himself . He dosent know exactley how to act, and sais things that he wouldnt actually say to one of his fellow dinosaurs, and afterwards feels akward. " What came over me , at those words? a revolusion , a rufusal to identify myself...," ( page 107) This quote shows how he dosent know how to act, and how to act upon he would to people he knew. He dosent know his true identity, and struggles, but later finds it.
Second Body:In the middle of the book Q starts to find who is true identiy really is.He dosent want to act as if he was a dinosaur, to be looked at differently, or to be judged. So he tried to act like he was just a normal creature living in that time. But after a conflict between Zahn and him, he starts to get more comfortable in who he is. "...though I was an entirely different type, i was finally convined i didnt stand out too much.," ( page 100). This is a quote that Q said . He became more brave to accept to act as he should. If it wasnt for the interaction with Zahn, and the new ones calling him "Dinosaur" he would have still try to "fit in" and not act himself.
Third Body: In the end of the book Q finally recognizes who he is, and is brave about who and what he is. Now that he had told the new ones that he is a dinosaur, a huge weight has been lifted off of his chest. Even though they didnt believe him, it was the fact that he told them that he was a dinosaur, and wasnt afraid to cover his identity. This caused him to be able to come at peace and be able to leave the village, and start his new life. " I had acheived a kind of new tranquilty," (page 105). This quote is one of the most powerful quotes in the essay. It is saying that all the covering up, and hiding that Q had done in the past, and now that he is more brave to say he is a dinosaur, he has come to a new peace. He is able to say that he is peaceful now, not stressing or worrying about how to act as someone that he wasnt.

Swag????
Swag-The way in which you carry yourself. Swag is made up of your overall confidence, style, and demeanor. Swag can also be expanded to be the reputation of your overall swagger. You gain swag, or "Swag up", by performing swag worthy actions that improve this perception. A person can also "swag down," by garnering negative swag for their actions. Swag is a subtle thing that many strive to gain but few actually attain. It is reserved for the most swagalicious of people. Swag can also be quantified, with point systems existing in some circles of friends.
This definiton is well explained of what "swag" is. Since i get the question a lot " Keiland what is swag?" or " how do u get swag?" this deinition should explain it all. Swag is something that many people are not born with. You have to (as the defintion sais) "Swag up" . By doing this you are having your own unique style , or you are confident in the style you already have. Confindence is a HUGE piece of having swag. If you are questioning or not if you have swag, then you most defintly dont have it. Also you should have your swag"on" at all times. Twenty four hours , seven days a week. Swag is not always the way you dress, it also is the way you carry yourself. Shoulders up, head up, go along with the confidence you need at all tymes. The only reason why some one with 'swag ' would have his or her head down is if 1. there is money on the ground, (not change, bills only) , 2.if dropping there personal objects, (or anything like that) and 3. to tie your shoes. These are the only three reasons a person with True 'swag' would ever have his or her head down. So now i know a lot of people will read this and try to make me " swag down" and try to make me do small things to go against what i said. But it will not happen. Every 1 works up to how much swag you can gain. You start at 5 "swag points" and the highest you can go is 150 . To learn how to "swag up" or "swag down" ask me:)

pros about capital punishment
Pros - Death Penalty
Many people would reject the concept of killing another being. It is unfair to say that even though a person kills many people, they are not facing the punishments. As Steven D. Steward said, “...life is sacred. It cheapens the life of an innocent murder victim to say that society has no right to keep the murderer from ever killing again.” This is very true. The fact that a person ends other people’s lives cheapens the killer’s life. They do not deserve to live in a jail and have the slightest chance of escape or killing again. The only way to enforce the fact that the murderer has no more chance to harm anyone is to do what they did to their victims. It is only fair to say that murderers deserve to die because they had killed a person who’s life could have been enjoyed.
Furthermore, in order to put someone in jail, it costs a lot more money than simply killing them. Our current economy is horrible and a lot of money that can be going to education is being put into prisons where criminals are kept and fed. The unbalanced amount of money being poured into criminals is unfair to children who are not receiving proper education. Instead of puttin someone in jail for the rest of thier life which cost a fortune, you can give the death penalty which would cost less . This is something that people have to pay for with taxes ,which noone wants to do anymore.
This also causes the communtiy to feel safe. Knowing that the person who commited the crime is out of sight out of mind, and has no way to come back. This lets people relax and not worry day in and day out if and or when this deadly or harmful person will escape.
