Remember The Titans
(movie)
We watched this in TX History and it's just as good as any book. I think that it really describes the racial tensions after the Civil Rights Movement in depth and it's a great story. T.C. Williams High School has just been integrated (white and black school put together) and the coach of the football team isreplaced by an African-American coach and becomes the defensive coordinator. The team goes undefeated in the regular season, but a star player is paralized in a car accident, jeoparadizing the team's chances at the state championship. In the end, well, I can't tell you the end because I don't know if you've seen the movie, but I'm pretty sure you can guess the ending.

The Last Jews In Berlin
pages 1-120
The first 120 pages are basically just a VERY long introduction to the lives of the Jews mentioned in the book. Their jobs, family homes, and how they got to where they are. Nothing has really happened yet, but there have been some really close calls. One of the characters in the book walked in his house when the Gestapo were about to seal the door. He opened it, tried to gather his belongings, but the officer was closing the door; death was closing in. He hit the Gestapo officer with his briefcase and ran for his life as he sprinted out the door.

Super Structures Of The World-The Pentagon
pages 1-47
This is an interesting book that my older brother got for Christmas last year about the Pentagon. It's got so much information about all the different features of the Pentagon that it's hard to remember anything. However, I do remember the part where it talked about the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. It showed lots of shocking pictures of the building after the attack and I can't believe what it would've been like to have known what was going on, but I was only 3 at the time.
