Page:  30 (because i lost my book for a while)
So far I have been introduced to Mare, Kilron, Gisa, Mare's Mom, an Mare's dad. Kilron who is basically Mare's best friend is getting sent to jail soon and Mare is shortly after that. Mare found a way to prevent Kilron from going to war but it required 2,000 dollers and that was to hard to obtain for a red. Gisa is a very hard working Red and so she gets more money than another red. Mare also wants to steal silk from where Gisa works because it is very expensive and may be able to pay it off.

#4 The part of the book that caught me by surprise was when the two slivers fought against each other. It wasn't the fighting that surprised me it was how the security officers throw bread at the reds for cheering. It also surprised me that the reds only get a certain amount of electricity and food. I was shocked to find out the the reason that this is so is because the silvers use all the electricity and food for their pleasure.

#13 The two characters I want to compare are Mare and her sister Gisa, Mare and Gisa are sisters but that doesn't make them all that similar. Gisa has the job of embroidering silk for the silvers while Mare is going to have to go to war because they're are no jobs available for her. Mare spends her time pick pocketing and stealing things from other people. Gisa doesn't do that because she is considered the golden child.

#1 Mare is a girl who is a red (considered lower class). Reds are provided with limited food and electricity, they also do not get goods that aren't a necessity like trinkets and spices. To get these little treasures Mare pit pockets reds, and different classes to get the things she wants and needs. The thing is Mare does not dot these things just fro herself, she also does it for her family. Her family is also very strict, they all have different personalities, and they express them broadly. Mare is different than others.

#11 I would indeed recommend this book to someone because it is very dramatic and can show me different perspectives. I believe that people should read this book because it can show you the life of a pit-pocketer and someone in lower class. I really like this book because I like how it is descriptive and not to hard but it is challenging. This book was a good mix of drama and complexity.

Character Name: Lina
Claim: Even though Lina is in this situation she stays strong.
Evidence/Data:
1. Lina immediately gave her brother her coat after he wet himself.
2. Lina went to find her father despite the fact that if she gets caught she might die.
3. Her father gave her ham for the family and even though she was crazy hungry she shared with lots in the cart.
Warrant: Even though Lina is in this situation she stays strong. According to what I read in the book between shades of gray, Lina immediately gave her brother her coat after he wet himself. In the cattle car there was little to no warmth every one was cold and when her brother wet himself he was very embarrassed, Lina stepped up and gave him her coat to make him happier. Lina was very kind and just gave something up to help her brother. In the text it says that Lina went to find her father despite the fact that if she gets caught she might die.
Lina was determined to bring her family together even if that meant risking her life to do so. She wanted her mother and brother to be happy and relieved that their father is alive and close. This was a brave move I wouldn't be able to bring myself to do that. I noticed in the text that Her father gave her ham for the family and even though she was crazy hungry she shared with lots in the cart. Lina is a kind caring girl who wants to share and keep everyone alive. Lina does everything to help others who are in need of help and she does her best to restore as much health as they can in a cattle car. This food can help the young children survive and also her family. From where I am in the book I can tell that Lina is brave, considerate, and selfless especially in a time like this she really steps up to show how great of a person she is.

1) I don't like how Peter died off like that. Although I do understand why he did suddenly left because he wan't in the best health  but I think it could have been drawn out a little more in terms of detail.   I wish at the end we find out what happens to the other main characters but based on what was giving we can infer that the other characters are dead. But I wish that the end had more detail.

2)In the story something I disliked was not about to book but about the terrible events at the time. It was during the holocaust and in the book there was a scene where many people were in a box car and had no food water or place to use the bathroom. There was also no light which made it hard for them to move around and function. So most died except the main characters but I just couldn't imagine how I would do in that situation. I just wouldn't know what to do and I think I would die too.

3)In the specific scene where Peter made menorah really was sweet. This was touching because even though they were hiding because of it they still embraced it and still celebrated. They could not get ahold of one because they are being burned but Peter put the time and effort into pleasing his family. Peter did all he could to lighten the mood and bring joy to the annex.

1) It surprised me when Peter started to like Anne and forgot about Leiese, this surprised me because towards the beginning all Peter thought about was Leiese at the beginning Peter though Anne was annoying and tried to stay away from her as often as he could. SO when he started to develop feelings for Anne I wondered how his mind could change.

2)I was confused when the people in the Annex were caught because only 2 people knew what I think happened was that when Anne and Peter were in the attic people saw them through the window and reported them. Anne and Peter were more focused on their feelings than the safety of the whole annex and thats what led them to being caught.

3) Anne changed throughout the story from being a immature know-it-all to a mature knowledgeable girl. In the beginnings Anne tried to get all the attention because she was the youngest in the annex towards the middle of the book she was finding herself int he world. When she was grown up she realized what was important to her and who she was.

1) I really got into the story when Liese was taken away, but the thing that brought me in the most was Peter's reaction to Liese getting taken away because he loved her. All Peter could thing about was Liese taken away and because of it he didn't do anything but sit and be upset and not move when in the annex. It made me wonder whether he would ever feel a different way, or just give up on caring about everything. It was interesting because it shows how characters can react in different scenarios. I don't know how I would react but I think I would also be upset.

2) I don't like how Anne put her diary and writing before the people who actually cared about her, In my opinion that how you loose the people you love because you never pay attention to them and so no one know if you love them.  I think theta is quite selfish of Anne because it shows  that she cares about items more than love and support. I would give up all my items for the love and support of my family and friends because the people who love you cannot be replaced.

3) I was surprised when Mutti spoke out saying that Anne is a very spoiled child because at first I thought Mutti was a very kind, gentle and forgiving person but based on what she said there I think she changed while in the annex. It seemed like the wrong thing to do because the Franks are keeping Peter's family hidden from the Nazis so if the Franks got mad then it would not end to well. Mutti kept going by praising Peter in front of everybody for just asking to be excused. It seems like from being in the annex Mutti and other charatrrs have changed while hiding in the Annex.

1) If i was Peter and I was in this situation i would lose it. I would be angry or sad all the time and I would just wish it would be over. I think Peter is a very strong character because he stayed strong when Liese was taken away and he stayed strong when someone may have broke in. If I was in his position I would not be strong. Instead I would be afraid, afraid that it might end any second.

2)At first I thought that after Peter was rescued he would rise and recover, but now I saw how when he was rescued and how he was in terrible condition and he did what he needed to do, tell his story. That's all he needed and then his work was done he could leave. He didn't have to suffer anymore. I cannot relate to this for this is a tragedy and in my life nothing like this has ever happened to me.

3)I think the important message of this story is that things happen and terrible things happen all you need to do is be brave and survive, because there is something that your life needs to co,e to and you need to just get it out. Others need to know what happened and you need to get it off your chest. But keep your head up and keep going, Peter needed people to know what terrible things happened so he kept going and never gave up until his promise was fulfilled.

What is the setting/time period?
The setting is Germany, but the time period is a very disturbing time in History.

What does the setting sound like, look like, ect.?
It is all quiet in the annex because no one is aloud to talk or they'll get caught. The is occasionally so bells but thats really it.

What are some differences/ similarities to today's time period in America?
We do not have to fear for our lives hiding , as they do,everyone is accepted and not one is ignored, or forgotten.
