The Holocaust was a time of war where many families were separated from one another and many had died from this tragic event.

Even though Paredes’ character focuses on a real character he is made into a fictional, whereas Bob Jones may or may not be representative of some of the author 's actual experiences were, leaven the reader or audience with a longer lasting impression of the hardship during those times.

When we started this project, we wanted to see how much the average high school student knew about HIV/AIDS- ourselves having minimal knowledge of the disease. In order to do so, we created a quiz and charted the results. After reviewing the results of the quiz, we realized that this ISP is giving us the platform to inform and enlighten ourselves and others of this serious global phenomenon. The quiz consisted of basic questions regarding HIV/AIDS and the ratio of correct to incorrect answers was mostly even with a few irregularities (see Chart One and Two). This project will correct the incorrect and help raise awareness of the disease that is sweeping the nation.
