This is my story about a part of the book called 'Once'.

I really don't get why Jews are hated on! We do nothing wrong, yet we do everything wrong. It's all because of that Adolf Hitler. Everything's changed since he became the dictator of Germany.
"Hey, you look upset. Want to tell me what's up? By the way, I'm Zelda," she says.
"Hi, umm.., I'm Harper, and I'm not really mad, I'm just really annoyed," I say back to Zelda.
"I mean, come on, we did nothing wrong and we still get hated on, so, I don't know!" She doesn't say anything for a while. She looks up, then looks back at me.
"Yeah, I know how you feel. My parents were Nazis so I wasn't really living a great life," Zelda says. Wow. That must have really sucked for her. It probably still does.
An olderish guy starts walking over to us.
"Come on Zelda, we're going to jump very soon!" he says. They're jumping?!
"Wait, you're jumping off this train? Why?!" I yell. "Who was that guy?"
"Yes, and that is Felix, he's my family. Don't you know anything?" Zelda replies.
"Felix, Chaya and I are all jumping off the train, you coming?"
I don't know if I should. Eh, I'm going to die if I don't jump anyway.
"Sure!" I say. Yep, definitley made the wrong decision. I am literally hesitating so much, I cannot move.
"Come on! We're jumping on 3, 1...2...3...! JUMP!!!!" Zelda yells. I'm off. I didn't get shot. Oh, this is a miracle!
"Chaya? Chaya?" I say. I look beside me to find Chaya, but it's not just her there.
There's also blood. Chaya's blood...
Imagine if you were an animal, life was great. I'd feel awesome! Then you found out someone was using your best friends fur to make shoes for people! How atrocious is that?! Humans using animal fur to make shoes for themselves? No, they would never do that! Oh, but they would...
Throughout the entire world, we consume around 350 million tons of meat, but each year 7/10 people write or talk about animal cruelty! That is just wrong! This happens all the time and is not ok! People think they can get away with it, but they're are always those people out there that will know your doing it. There are a lot of hypocrites out in the world, we don't need more!
Leather. Leather shoes, leather jackets. All of it is made from animals. Furry coats, made from animals. Leather, made from animals. Some of the clothes and shoes you guys wear is probably made from animals. Did you know, 65% of leather is made from cows, 15% from sheep, 11% from pigs and 9% from goats! That is crazy that they kill that many animals for us to look good?!
Lets look... a different way. We need meat. It gives us protein. Actually, meat gives us more than just protein. It gives us iodine, iron, zinc, vitamins (especially B12), and essential fatty acids. See, we need meat. It's important. Some people may think we need leather clothes. It all adds up to something though.It's the circle of life. Animals are born, they have a life, then they pass. It happens to everyone, not just animals.
If you want it to stop, then you need to stand up and say something. Do you really want to be that person " Oh, this isn't ok, but what am I going to do about it?" I know, I sure DON'T! We need to stand up and save the animals NOW!
