Women During The Holocaust

Women were treated as bad as men were treated, or worse during the Holocaust. Women were forced into beatings and even rape at times. Women were treated like dogs, really. During the holocaust, Jews female Jews were not the only people targeted. Sometimes, even Romas(Gypsy) were targeted.

Lots of women were beaten, and most of the time even murdered, but so were fetuses in the stomachs of these women. If you were a pregnant Jewish or Roma woman during the holocaust, you were either one; sent to the gas chamber, or two; forced to have an abortion if you got pregnant from a rape of an officer.

Lots of times women were transported back to where they came from without food or medical supplies. This most likely means that they were going to die anyways. If you were kept in the camp, you were most likely forced to do sexual things for things like food.

Current Event #3 Web Drinking Challenge

Have you ever heard of the game "Neknominate"? This is a game that was formed in Australia, but is spreading throughout the whole world. This game consists of downing large amounts of alcoholic beverages at once, then nominating a different person to outdo you.

This may sound fun to some, but it is very very dangerous. Five men around age thirty have already suffered deadly consequences participating in this game. Some, if not most people think that Facebook is to blame for such a deadly game that millions are playing. The blame comes from the intensity of the viral spread of the videos.

How does the structure of the text refine and support the author’s claim? Use evidence from the selection to support your answer.

The structure of this text helps prove the authors point and claim. The most important way the author gets his claim through, is by using many quotes from different people concerning the event. When the author addresses the issue concerning that social media may have a huge effect in the event, he interviews a parent of a child who had participated in this deadly game. "I was cross with him but more cross with the social media involved and the way this game has just spread." This quote makes it easy to believe that social media is really playing a huge part.

This game should be a high concern for parents around the world. If this so called drinking game can put to rest a thirty year old, it can put to rest a teenager. Teens need to understand that drinking underage is against the law, and dangerous. It is even more dangerous when you drink excessive amounts in a short time!
