Kiana Holmes- Plagiarism & Signal Phrases

As stated in the Prentice Hall Reference Guide, plagiarism is important to avoid for multiple reasons. When you plagiarize you are denying yourself an opportunity to learn something new. It also is considered unethical, and you loose your creditability as a writer. The most important thing to remember is that plagiarism can result in serious penalties and affect your career. To help you avoid plagairism you could try starting your paper early instead of waiting until the last minute. Also be sure to cite your sources immediately after you use them to ensure proper citing. Another thing you can try is taking notes as you read, which will make it easier to paraphrase and summarize.

In a research paper you want to make sure that your readers can clearly identify your quotations. There are some helpful tips in the Prentice Hall book, such as quotations must be enclosed by quotation marks, and be written exactly as stated. Always introduce your quote by mentioning the persons name of whom you are quoting, and be sure to cite it accordingly. The purpose of in text citation is to inform your readers in short, of the source where you received you information.

When you use signal phrases and words it helps because it is telling the reader what to expect, and introduce your material with a nice flow. It also helps by separating your thoughts from the sources. Some example words that you can use for your signal words are: insists, suggests, believes, shows, concludes, writes, and denies.

Ester Fiszgop Summary- Kiana Holmes

The Shoah Foundation Institute provides an emotional interview with Ester Fiszgop. A woman who has an unbelievable story of survival, and determination. Ester was born on January 14,1929 and raised in Brest, Poland, where most of her family lived too. Their family was traditional Jews who spent a lot of time together. She was growing up in a place where beatings and segregation "was an everyday occurrence". In 1931 the Germans came into Ester's town with bombs and guns, and started taking over. Her town was eventually split and given to the Russians.

While the war itself was still at a distance, she made a visit to her grandmother in a neighboring town never knowing that would be the last time she ever saw her family. She was caught along with her grandmother and cousins when the Germans took over once again. All the Jew's including herself were put in a ghetto covered with barb wire fence and it was about the length of a city block. Ester was growing ill, and so was her grandmother. Talk of Treblinka and liquidation filled the air, and they knew they had to get out. Late one night her grandmother, cousins and her escaped, and went to a house in the forest where they knew they could hide. The ghetto was beginning to be liquidated and the Germans were covering all grounds.

As they hid in the forest waiting for the shots to stop a young Ester falls asleep clutching her grandmother. When Ester awoke her grandmother had gone, she had left her to return to the her brother in the ghetto. Left alone with her three cousins, their fight for their life's had only just begun. Some farmers ran them off, while others offered to hide them for a fee. For six months they hid in a hole in the ground just barely big enough for the four of them to tightly set with their knees against their chest. Never seeing daylight in this time, and hardly able to walk when they had to leave. The girls decide to split up, they have no hope for survival and thought it would be easier to be apart.

At the age of 12 Ester was all alone while being "hunted like a rabbit". She describes being so sick she could not even feel the pain. Stealing dinner from the animals in the barns, or from dogs. Sleeping on the ground, hiding in the wheat fields, and trying to wash in the rain, this went on for about three years. One day she saw ladies riding in on horses and she knew that was it. She had been liberated by Russian women. From 1946 to 1949 she was stuck in Italy waiting for her opportunity to come to the United States. Ester went back to school, got married, had children and then received a doctorate degree. She has been here in the Unites States since 1949 and still is full of determination.


Quotes:

"That's how Poland was before the war, it didn't happen over night."

"They used to say the Jew's have sad eye's"

"I was holding onto her because I knew she wanted to go back, and I fell asleep in the forest and I woke up she was gone."

Henry Mikols Summary- Kiana Holmes

Interviewed in August of 2001, Henry Mikols tells the story of his disappearance into the Holocaust. This story starts with Henry as young boy, who grew up in Poznan, Poland in the 1930's. A boy who had a normal childhood like most others, but also like the others in 1939 he had that taken away from him. The dictatorship of Hitler had began and everyone was experiencing it. His family who was not Jewish was still treated as though they were, and were forced out of their homes and into the streets with little or nothing to take with them.

Henry was picked up off the streets when the Germans were doing their raids for children. Never seeing his family again he begins his journey into the arms of the Germans. Over a span of two years he is shuffled from farmer to farmer, where he was forced to work as a slave, with little to eat or drink. While on his farm Henry listens to a radio where he is able to pick up political information on the war and other countries. It is not long before the Germans find out and take him away. Starting out in a prison at the Gestapo headquarters, once again he is being drug from one place to another.

They sent him to a political concentration camp in Buchenwald where imprisoned doctors preformed experiments on him, and the other prisoners. In 1945 he is yet moved again, this time like cattle in carts. The train took them to Bergen-Belsen where after only a few days they were liberated by the British army. A tired and malnourished Henry decides to stay and help the Red Cross instead of leaving. After a few years he begins to move around trying to make his way to the United States. In 1949 Henry came to America on a boat, where he became a carpenter and married. He now lives in Dummer, New Hampshire with his current wife and has five children.


Quotes:

"Occasionally I wonder why I survived. Who knows, maybe I'm one of the chosen one's. Maybe I survived so I can tell this to the American people and the Shoah Foundation."

"I like to tell the young generations because in America today's story's are forgotten tomorrow and I don't want this to be forgotten."

Kiana Holmes- A Film Unfinished

A Film Unfinished captures the life's of the Jew's in an unbiased way, clean from the tampering they had hopes of. Although the film was never meant for our eyes, it somehow made it way into our hands. The filming takes place in the Warsaw ghetto in the spring of 1942, where an extremely large community of Jews are fenced into an area less than 3 mile radius. Black and white footage of children begging on the street corners, and stealing food from each other fills the camera. Families are forced to act out parties and scenes of ladies walking to and from shops with their children. Corpses cover the sidewalks on the street for days as the Jews are told to "walk past holding our heads high" while the men film it. Graves with body's buried so deep a man couldn't know where they had started. With voice overs of real survivors to account for the videos being played. The plan of the footage is to capture all sides of the ghetto, the rich, the middle class, and the poor. Only to later cut it and fix it to what they thought would show the world that the Jews were enjoying their lives and taking advantage of where they were. This is what they were using to keep us in the dark.

Kiana Holmes- Sensory Excerise

About a year ago a friend and I decided to travel to the Eiffel Tower. When we got on the plane our flight seemed to last forever but luckily I got the window seat where I enjoyed a view of the sky! My friend Mona only got to enjoy the sanitized smell of the cabin. As our plane landed the people began to scatter and one lady was in such a rush she tripped and rolled down the stairs. From there we decided to catch a cab. Who's radio you could hear a block away. Nearing the Eiffel Tower we thought we should walk to take pleasure in the scenery. You could smell the sweet aroma of the bakeries and we started to get hungry. Mona said "I want something spicy!" But I like my food salty so we agreed on a fresh pastry. They were awful. Mine was gritty and bland.

When we finally made it to the tower I was so excited I accidently punched Mona in the arm. She got a little mad at me but then the sun began to set and we could only stare. I could see all the beautiful colors from the place we were standing. It had been a long day so we headed back to the hotel to go to bed. I was awoken early by a ripping sound. Mona was trying to rip pages from a magazine. “What?” she said “I like their clothes.”

Off to a late start as normal we had to sprint to the farm we were visiting. At the local farm the old man offered us some milk for breakfast. Thinking it would be delicious farm fresh and all I took a huge gulp. I had just brushed my teeth so my mouth was a little minty it made the milk taste sour. The old man showed us around the animals and stalls which smelled of manure. Then took us to a small stream where you could hear the water trickle down the rocks. When the tour was over he wished us a farewell with his was ruff and callous hands. When we started down a hazy road back to town and I stated “Next time we will plan our trips better!”

Intro

I come from the originally small town of West Plains Missouri. I have three sisters and one brother. My childhood was spent living with my mother and my one sister Laura. In elementary school my sister I moved to Springfield with our Dad and his wife. Where the family grew over night. I then had one older sister and two younger siblings.

My father is a tree arborist and tends to move for work so just two years later we all moved to Indiana where most of them still live now. When I was in high school my parents had another kid and her name is Katie. I absolutely love having all my sisters and my one brother and hate that we all live so far apart. The fighting, the yelling, the crying, and commotion = happiness!!

I now live in Fordland and have been here the longest I have every been or done anything. My oldest sister Laura also lives here the rest of the family still lives in Indiana. I am a painter who like most people is hurting for work because economy so I have came to school to look for something more stable. Which is unfortunate because there is nothing I love more then waking up knowing I am going to do something that I love and have never had a bad thought about :( So if you ever need anything painted......
