In Stockholm, we got to learn about Greta Thunberg. I can't believe she is only two year older than me and already accomplished so much in her life. She is a Swedish environmental activist. She also is diagnose with Asperger which impact her social interaction but that doesn't stop her from being an activist. One thing that I admire about Greta is that she is not afraid to speak her mind and fight for what she think is important. She doesn't travel by plane because it goes against her views (releasing CO2 into the air causing global warming) and she even got her own mother, who is an opera singer and travels a lot for her job, to stop traveling by planes. When she was only 15, she decided to strike for climate changes in front the Swedish parliament building all by herself. She didn't care that she was by herself because at least she knew she was trying to to take a stand against climate changes instead of doing nothing about it. She changed history after that by brin...
The room that really stood out to me was the room dedicated to the prehistoric age (caveman era). This room really opened my eyes to how inventive they were back then. They weren't wasteful and made sure everything they collected had a use to it. Animals bones and rocks were use to make weapons and tools to help out their society. They were also very creative and incorporated artwork into their society. They painting in cave told stories important to them and craved images into bones to shows their status in their society. They cared about pottery and used objects to show off their status just like we do in modern times. I think the prehistoric ages are important to Madrid historically because it is literally dedicated to how the people back then used their environment to function in society. That era shows the deep history of Madrid and give example of what's tools they used to get food and to make art. It also bring people a deeper understanding on what was important to Spa...
Today I got to walk through the place where Anne Frank and her family hid from Nazis for two years. Anne Frank is well known for writing about her experience of the holocaust. She was only 13 when she had to go into hiding. She was just a kid and had so much to live for. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it out of the holocaust alive. Even though she was limited to stay in the house, she still had hope for the future and tried to see the positive in things . Honestly, Anne Frank is an inspiration in my life. She was so young when she had to go through something bad but she still had dreams. She reminds me to alway look at the positive in things. I think what makes her contribution in society important was her age. In her diary, readers can totally see Anne’s personality. She wrote down what she was going through personally. People feel sympathy for her because she was robbed of so much in her life. It shows how bad the holocaust was. Having Anne be the symbol of what Jews we...
