Dear Diary,

            Everything I know, gone. I left London only for a couple of months to go down south. I should have never left, but I have a amazing tan that is actually wearing out. The London I use to know is gone. It’s destroyed. My parents created a new London for some reason. I always feel at ease in this city. It feels nothing like the home town I use to live in. Nothing’s the same except for the houses. It’s all cloudy. Now I think the sun does not exist. We moved into a big house. Not my old one. A new one, and guess who is Dr. Crumbs assistant. Charley Shallows. Diary, do you remember about me telling you that a boy who had to kill me, yeah that’s him. He’s the skinner’s boy. Dr. Crumb said “ I should have warned you Fever.” Well, now the killer knows my name! Until Dr. Crumb said he was moving out, that was a sign of relief. Dr. Crumb just told me that he wants to make a city on wheels. WHAT!!!That will take years and London is not going to be standing for much longer, how is the city going to stay in place, it may just start rolling off and fall into the sea!i guess I will talk to you in a little while.

Dear Diary,

             Far, Far, Far to the north, were the ground is ice and the night skies filled with shifting lights, the rolling empire of Arkhangelsk was on the move again. Finally after centuries, they started moving. People were joining from everywhere to see the everyplace that they went. “ We must move south, or perish.” Said my father. He was in the other room, but I always could hear them. “ The moving city will need oil,” said gloomy Carn Masgard.” A whole moving city? It will drink up oil like I drink up alcohol . It will eat up coal like a child eats cloudberries. The movement will fight harder than ever to keep hold of the Fuel country now.” said my father gulping down his poisoning beverage. I have always told my father to quit drinking alcohol since I knew what it was, but he never listens. Right now they are talking away in the other room. I just had to run back upstairs because they are heading who knows where. I guess I will talk to you tomorrow. I am Fever Crumb, and I know EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING to change EVERYTHING!

Adolf Hitler wanted to be a artist. He went to a a art school and drew a picture. The teacher said the picture was horrible. Hitler got mad at the teacher. When he was in World War 2 he wanted to kill Jews. Not just a few,all of them. That one teacher was mean to him, so he took revenge on all of the Jews. Even though they did not have any part in his life, he thought they were horrible. This is something I will keep with me forever. That if someone is mean to me, I will never take it out on other people like I use to do. 

Another thing that I learned about was Jews. The Nazis tried to kill every Jew because Hitler wanted to. Jews also know as Jewish people originating from Hebrews of the Ancient  Near East. Judaism is a traditional faith of the Jewish nation. The worldwide Jewish population reached a peak of 16.7 million prior to World War 2, but approximately 6 million Jews were killed during the holocaust. Nazis thought that Jews were horrible because Hitler thought they were. The moral that I got from this lesson was that I will not judge people for what other people say!  

Dear Diary,

I’m scared . What if they get my family? I am in bed with Annemarie and I am actually warm! Even though I have a lot on my mind, this comforts me. Today I was seperated from my Mom and Dad. Not knowing where they are going, I am scared.

Waking up this morning cold like every morning, I get up get dressed  and do to the table. My mother sits down across from me. I look at her with a smile while she looks at me with a worried look on her face. “ What’s wrong?” I asked her with a worried smile. She takes in a deep breath “  Your father and I are going away for a while so you will be staying with Annemarie.”. “ Where will you and father be going?”. “ I can not tell you sweetie, but I can tell you that Peter will lead us somewhere safe.”. “ Why is he taking Father and you somewhere?” I asked with a demanding voice.” I have to tell you that this morning at the synagogue, the rabbi gave the Nazis the list of all the Jews.The list had all their names and every single address. Including ours. You are going to stay with Annemarie and her family until it is safe for us to return.” Later that day my Mother and Father took me to Annemarie’s.

That night at dinner I was as silent as a mouse. Mrs.Johansen took  Kirsti to bed while Mr. Johansen, Annemarie, and I were still at the table. “What’s happening?” Annemarie asked. He told her what was happening as I was crying silently. So many thoughts were going through my head. Mr.Johansen said that I will be playing the roll as their dead sister Lise. He told us to go get in our nightgowns and get in bed.

Right now I am warm in bed with Annemarie. We talked before she passed out on me. That’s when I pulled out you. My diary. So I guess this is the worst way to start of the new year. Talk to you tomorrow.

                                                           To a horrible new year,

                                                                                           Ellen

I went into Kids Journeys Looking for some shoes,

Specific shoes,

If I do not find them I will get the blues,

Then I look to my left and see all of the shoes,

So many of the shoes were right there,

There were Jordans everywhere,

Pink, Blue, Red, Black,

All so pretty but not the ones,

I look around the whole store,

I just could not take it anymore,

I was turning around to walk out,

When something was pretty enough to catch my eye,

Black tips with purple lining and the shoe was grey,

There was nothing more that I could say,

$70,

What a price, but they looked amazing,

I got out the shoes,

They fit perfectly,

I felt like Cinderella,

I knew the shoes were meant for me,

I bought them at the counter,

That was the last of the money,

Those were the shoes,

That got me pulling out my wallet,
