First term for year 10 as been rather average not amazing
but not bad. I like all the classes I’m in and so far enjoying them, except a
few. I’m happy with my work in maths already getting a few credits some of
which were excellence. Also with my science I have gotten some credits and
should be getting more as some of my work is yet to be marked. Some negatives
for the term... I don’t have many to be honest; one that stands out for me is
the 10IMN blog homework. I find most of it pointless and not necessary or relevant
to me. Also it being online makes it a hassle for me. I don’t spend much time on the computer so I always
forget to look on the blog for homework. Also the comments you give I don’t see
them as they go to my email which I never check... Some interesting thinks this
term. I can’t really think of many it was a very ordinary term. Probably the
only thing interesting is that not much has really changed for me from year 9
to year 10

Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889 in Braunau, Austria, a small town across the Inn River from Germany.
Hitler was a German-speaking Austrian and considered himself German. He ridiculed the Austrian government for recognizing eight languages as official and believed that no government could last if it treated ethnic groups equally.
In 1920, Hitler joined the National Socialist German Workers Party known as the Nazis. Hitler became leader of the Nazi party and built up membership quickly, mostly because of his powerful speaking ability. Hitler organized an army for the Nazi party called the Storm Troopers ("Brown Shirts") who were called upon to fight groups seeking to disband the Nazi rallies.
In July, 1932, the Nazis received about 40% of the vote and became the strongest party in Germany. On January 30, 1933, President Paul von Hindenburg appointed Hitler Chancellor of Germany. Once in this position, Hitler moved quickly toward attaining a dictatorship. When von Hindenburg died in 1934, Hitler already had control of Germany and he gave himself the title "Fuehrer" (leader).
Under Hitler's government, called the Third Reich, there was no place for freedom. The government controlled every part of one's life. Hitler used extensive propaganda to brainwash the nation into believing his theory about creating the perfect Aryan or nordic race. Therefore, it was Hitler's plan to rid the nation and eventually the world of Jews, Gypsies, Negroes, handicapped, and mentally ill persons. This plan was called the "Final Solution."
World War II began in 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland to begin his unification of all German-speaking peoples. By this time extermination camps were being established throughout Germany, Poland, and Russia. Before Hitler was stopped in 1945 by the Allied countries, he had caused the extermination over 12 million people. Hitler committed suicide in his bunker on April 30, 1945 and seven days later, Germany surrendered.
"Playing for Pizza" by John Grisham is a short novel which talks about the culinary, cultural and architectural specialties of Italy through the fall and rise of a low ranked NFL quarterback. Rick Dockery (the quarter back) cannot get any NFL team to touch him after blowing a 17 point lead in a championship game. His manager finds him a starting position in Italy with the Parma Panthers.
Along his journey Mr. Dockery discovers the passion he lost to football. Even though it’s a sports book it also has a lot about Italian food as the fast food fed Quarterback discovers the culinary delights of Italy. The book also tells the reader a lot about Italy itself, the book simply makes you want to hop on a plane and go.
I found this book pretty good as I read very little. The pace is good, the story flows and the characters are likable. This book is not a deep, serious, book but it is enjoyable and a wonderful read.
