The major theme of “Bud, Not Buddy”, centers on a little African American boy who is in a search for family. Not only being Motherless, Bud has been abused by the Flint Orphanage for he result of his skin.…
2) The cover of my story book has a pink Star of David with the title “Bat Mitzvah” on a scroll which represents the Torah. At the top, the Hebrew name “Becky” is spelled out in multicoloured stickers. All of this is on a white sheet of paper that is on top of a black binder.

The symbols and pictures on this page represent Liesel’s story, The Book Thief. Like a few other books, Liesel got this from Ilsa Hermann.

The book is retrieved by the story’s narrator Death, and returned to Liesel after she eventually passes on. Just like The Book Thief is a creative outlet that allows Liesel to mature through her words, the pictures on this page symbolize Liesel’s ways of letting out her emotions, her overall relationship with books, how they have affected her, and how she eventually finds strength in her weakness (Going from not knowing…

In my Coat of Arms Project, I decided to use two symbolic shapes that represent who I am as a person. One of the first shapes I thought of was the circle since the circle is most commonly associated with routine and perfection. Being in routine and having a cycle of everyday events prevents me from having anxiety or stress about school since having a schedule will help plan out my day and allow me extra spare time to do extracurricular activities. In addition, I am usually referred to as a perfectionist because I always want to get a 100% on all homework, classwork, quizzes, and tests. Another shape I thought of that illustrated my personality was the square since it is linked with integrity and community.…

The second image is chose was thousands of shoes outside of a gas chamber.…

The mask that I made for this class is a play on the transformation masks of the Kwakiutl tribe in the Northwest Cost of North America.

The different symbols inside the mask represent things from my culture, Disney.…
