Self’s the man Oh‚ no one can deny That Arnold is less selfish than I. He married a woman to stop her getting away Now she’s there all day‚ And the money he gets for wasting his life on work She takes as her perk To pay for the kiddies’ clobber and the drier And the electric fire‚ And when he finishes supper Planning to have a read at the evening paper It’s Put a screw in this wall - He has no time at all‚ With the nippers to wheel round the houses And the hall to paint in his

For my response I watched the provided film‚ Stand by Me with commentary by it’s director‚ Rob Reiner.

Our National History Day Topic is “Taking A Stand Against Hitler”. This topic sparked an interest to us because it was a catastrophic time during the Holocaust from 1933-1945 that has a great impact on the history we learn today.
