I would be very scared if I would be taken away from my family. I would have a very hard time to give up who I am. That would mean I would loose my current life style soccer and friends.
I would be scared and frustrated because they would force me to to speak another language. This would be very harmful for any kids force to do this because it would change who they are and their self esteem. I hope this does not exist in the world.

In the story "I Am Not A Number," many kids from Canada and the U.S. were taken from their family and treated horribly. They would get meals that were not filling to some or would have to eat the same meal again if they didn't eat it. If they ate their food but later threw up they would have to eat it. The kids would also get punished if they didn't speak English. If this were to happen to me I would be sad that I would not be able to see my siblings and my family. I would also be mad that they punished me for things that I shouldn't get punished for.

In the story," I Am Not A Number" the government would take lots of kids and take them to a residential school.  In the book three kids were taken away from their family and taken away into a residential school. The protagonist named Irene was one of the children to go to the school along with her two brothers. In this school You were not aloud to speak any other language except for english. If they disobeyed this rule one of the sister would have to put a hot pan on your hands. Irene was separated from her brothers and only saw them during mass. One of the nuns named Sister Mary was very racist. Once she said,"rub all that brown off. This quote proves that Sister Mary was racist because she knows that the girls can't change the skin color that they are. If the kids threw up their food they had to eat. If I were Irene I would be sad because I wouldn't be able to not see my family for a year. I would probably cry every night until I got to see my family. If I couldn't speak my own language and burn my hands if I spoke my own language I would be mad because I have every right to speak that language. If I had to eat my vomit I would feel disgusted and grossed out.

In the story i'm not a number there are three children that get taken to a residential school by a Indian agent. Irene talked by her native culture and she got whipped by a brown wooden spoon and sister Mary hauled Irene up the stairs. I extended my arms straight and my arms got burnt a little. "That'll teach you to speak English." And it made some red welts that had bloomed  on her hand. And when they got back home for summer they had a plan so they wouldnt go back to the residential school and their plan was to hide in the dads workshop.

In the story I Am Not A Number, Irene, is taken from her family. I would not like to be taken away from my family to go to a residential school. If this did happen to me I would feel depressed. I would feel this way because I might never see my family again. I would also feel uncomfortable because they are forcing me to do things that I don't want to do. I would forget who I am and I would not like forgetting who I am. I might also forget I had a family if I never saw them again.

I would be sorrowful if they cut my hair because I  like my hair long. I am proud of my hair and would not like it if they cut it. If I was forced to speak another language I would miserable. I think I would feel this way because I could forget how to speak my language. I would also forget my real name because the nuns gave numbers. Instead of the nuns calling the kids by their real names they called them by numbers. I think this is harmful because the kids need to know where they come from. I don't know if this still exists today but I hope it doesn't.

In the story, I Am Not A Number, Native Americans in Canada and the U.S. were taken from their homes and placed into residential schools, where they were beaten, forced to speak English, and give up their native culture.

- In at least 2 paragraphs (6-8 sentences each), how would you feel if you were taken from your family, had to give up who you are, how you dress, and were forced to speak another language? Why is this harmful? Does this still exist today?

If I was taken apart from my family I would cry. Because it is hard to be away from family. Also my hair is so long I don't want to cut it. I think it is gross to eat throw up. It hurts to have a hot pan on your hand. I would not like to be treated that way. yes it is harmful. because if it is to hot. it can Bern your hand. and you can bled to death. that is the wherst thing that can happen. yes it still exist today.

If I was treated like Irene in the story .I would be sad,mad,and scared.I would feel these ways because I would be away from my family and I would be hit and burned.

I would be sad because I wouldn't be with my family. For example on page,3 it says"I'm here for the children" this shows that Irene and her brothers were separated from their parents. I would also feel mad. I would feel this way because of the way they would of treated me. They would of treated me badly. For instance on page 13 it says "eat the vomit"This show that if they threw up any food they had eat that vomit. They were treated very poorly. The reason I why I would be scared is because what if they hurt me. I know this because on page 15 it says "hot bedpan onto my skin" This demonstrates that I would be scared because if I accidentally did something wrong they would punish  me.This I why I would feel sad, mad, and scared

If i went to where Irene went i would be mad and sad.Also i would be grossed out because in the story it said that if go throw up your food you would have to eat your vomit.If i could barely speak English and i was forced to speak it i would be confused why they just wanted to speak English.Another thing is that if i did something wrong and they poured that hot stuff on me that's abuse and it would hurt a lot.If they cut my hair short i would say thanks because it's a free hair cut and i don't like my hair long because it bother's me.I feel bad for the kids that go to a school like this,and they Probably hate it or maybe like it there but i would hate it there.I would miss my family and friends because maybe they would go to a other school and that school would be better.I feel bad for Irene and her brothers for having to go to that awful place and now i see why they didn't want to go back.Another thing is that sister Mary is racist because she said "rub all that brown off" that's Racist because that's here skin color she can't change it.

In the story, "I am Not A Number" Irenee has to go to a school but she has no other choice, where they treat children like slaves, and don't get feed right, also they get a punishment if they speak in their original language. If I were to be in that type of school I would be scared and always crying because if you talk in your own language you get a burning pan on your hands and need to eat your own vomit.

In the story I am not a number,many Native Americans get treated horribly. They get punished for not eating all of their food or speaking another language. They have to be separated from their brothers and taken from their homes. The only time they get to see their siblings is during church because boys and girls were separated! In those rough times Irene kept a promise to her parents that she would never forget who she was or her family.Like Irene I would not want to be pushed around and treated like a animal just because someone was not happy on how I looked or the language I spoke.

In the story, I Am Not A Number, kid from Canada and U.S get separated from there family and get abused if they don't do what the nuns say. If I got taken away from my family i will cry every night and i will miss my mom and my dad. If they changed my name I will so mad because we are not numbers we are people we should be called by are real names. What if we forget are number and one of the nuns say what is your name we need to say are real name if we forgot are number. If I had to give up who I am, I will be mad at my self because I love my self i will never want to give up who I am. People should not be treated like this.
Also in the school in the story, I Am Not A Number, they make them change there clothes and cut there hair. I wont be bothered if they picked my outfit because i don;t want to wake up in the morning to pick an outfit they just pick for us but some people don't think the same way. Also I will not want anyone cut my hair I Like the way it is. Some people take them years to grow there hair and some did not cut there for all there life so they should cut there hair if they don't want to. People should not have only speak  English or other language because people need to learn other language to learn what other people are saying. This is harmful because they get hit so many times sometimes they can bleed or get hurt really bad. I don't know if this is still happening but i hope not.
