Overall, I would give this book a 4/5. The only thing for me is at the start it was pretty slow and wasn't interesting to me, but near the middle things started progressing faster and it made it more exiting to read because something new would happen ever few chapter. The ending was ok, but I wish they told us what happened to the other side characters like Eriks grandparents, Susanne, etc. My favorite part was probably when Lisa and Susanne were together having fun and enjoying themselves.

These chapters were very deep and meaningful in my opinion. At the start of the chapter, everyone is hiding in that hospital. Everyone is scared, freaked out, and the little kids are screaming and crying. So, Lisa's dad injects the little kids so they are unconscious for a while. The nurse says that they needed to leave and everyone gets into ambulances. They get to a small house were all the families hide. Meanwhile lisa's dad is giving the kids injections again, and Lisa, Stefan, and Joseph are on the look out. Lisa convinces her parents to be the last on to get on the boats so she can stay behind and help Stefan and Joseph look for any soldiers coming their way. Lisa and Joseph headed outside to the waterfront, when they suddenly hear two german soldiers. They load their guns, and go to hide. The germans go to the shore and Lisa and Joseph shoot them. She immediately goes to throw up in the bushes. Then they return to the house...

Answers

They end up hiding for the majority of the book but in the end they safely all move to Sweden. And yes, I'm afraid that if the German soldiers would have encountered Sarah, they would probably do something very mean to her.

This would be an example of Lisa when they were in the car. Lisa mentioned earlier in the book that her stomach was not good, and she threw up when she doesn't feel good. Well, when the Germans stopped the car, Lisa was scared by the fact that if they told them to get out of the car, they'd have to shoot them. Just the thought of that made her throw up all over the floor. Stefan had to lie that they were on their way to the hospital because she had a "stomach ache." The lie worked, and they got away safely.

I think this chapter is pretty short, but it is also deep. It shows how people have to start leaving their family members not knowing if they will be 100% safe.

(Its a free pass)

Below you will find quotations from the novel Lisa’s War. For each quotation, you need to explain what the context is and why it is significant to the story. (20)

1. “I remember I was dreaming about a bee. A giant bumblebee. It was buzzing in my ear; it was going to sting me. I opened my eyes and sat up with a start, but the buzzing didn’t stop.” (p. 1)

I think this quote is trying to talk about how Lisa was having a good sleep but then starts dreaming about a bumble bee buzzing. She doesn't think about it too much, but it won't stop. I think what she is trying to say is that after the buzzing didn't stop, she started waking up and came to the realization that the bee buzzing was actually the German planes flying overhead to invade Denmark.

2. “I leap off, dragging my bag, run into the grass and trees beside the stop, and finish throwing up. Then I sink down by my sack. I’m weak, I’m shaking. I think I’m crying, and my mouth tastes terrible. I want to go home. How did I get myself into this? I think back to the streetcar. All those people – they saved me. Maybe they saved my life.” (p. 29)

In the story, Lisa was on the streetcar dropping newspapers for people to read, but then she stumbled across two German soldiers, her stomach got weak and she threw up all over them. They were shocked, and Lisa thought she was about to be in huge trouble. But, the streetcar started to fill with people and she managed to get away without being hurt because if she didn't run, the soldiers would probably harm her.

3. “She whispers to me, ‘That was for Mama and Papa. But it was only the first.’ She’s actually enjoying herself.

A chill runs down my spine. My God, I think, these Germans are dragging us all down to their level. How will we keep ourselves better than them?” (p.46)

Lisa was worried that Susanne is now starting to go down to their level. What I think she means by this is that they are now starting to fight back and are killing and harming random people they don't know, which is what the soldiers are doing. Lisa also comes to the realization that Susanne is enjoying killing the germans and this makes Lisa a bit frightened that Susanne is enjoying violence so much. Lisa feels like they are going down to their level when killing them, but at the same time, they need to fight back.

4. “ ‘No, Father, it can’t be!’ I cry. I’m not willing to accept what he’s getting at. What does it matter that we are Jewish? I don’t feel any different than anyone else, and I’m not treated differently. Now, will I have to be only a Jew? Is being a Jew all that’s important about me? The very name Eichmann makes me feel sick to my stomach.” (p. 57)

Lisa is very upset because she doesn’t understand why the Germans treat them differently because they are Jewish. She explains how she doesn't feel different than anyone else and doesn't understand what makes her different from other people.

5. “ ‘I’m afraid there will be no service tonight at the synagogue,’ Father continues. ‘Rabbi Melchior told everyone at the early service that he’ll be closing the synagogue. He’s going on holiday.’ I almost laugh. Is the rabbi going on holiday with Rosh Hashanah?

Then it hits me.” (p.62)

Lisa was confused at first but slowly realises that the rabbi was going on holiday and recommended everyone else should too because they were rounding up Jews. Then she started spreading the news to all her family and friends, and even people she thought looked Jewish.

This is the gun Lisa found under the loose wooden plank that was  in the floor of her room. There were 6 other guns hidden with the submachine gun.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is a very deep chapter of the book. I feel like Lisa and the other family members start to realize that they can't solve things peacefully anymore. For example, Erik now realizes that peace may not be the way to solve this. He is scared that something will happen to his family and doesn't want to get affected. It also seems like Susanne now wants to get involved in anything to do with the Germans. For example, her and Stefan killed two German Soldiers and Jesper and Stefan threw their bodies in the water to hide the evidence. Susanne even said it with a smile, and it seems like she has no remorse for anything violent shes done so far.

The chapter starts off with Susanne running in Lisa's room saying that she needs to hide the gun she was hiding in her purse. They found a loose wooden plank in Lisa's room to hide the gun, but when they opened it, they were  already 7 other guns. This left Lisa stunned, but they hid the gun when they heard Erik entering the room. He was holding the baby and seemed very scared, he starts saying how they've invaded near them and a couple seconds later an explosion happens near them. Susanne starts angrily mocking him about how he is just now realizing, but Lisa understands how both of them are feeling.

Short Answer Questions

Answer the questions in point form on this sheet.

1. Give four reasons why Lisa’s fourteenth birthday is so memorable? (4)

Well, I think Lisa’s birthday is very memorable, but not for the right reasons. She was getting ready for the dance hall when all of a sudden her dad came in balling his eyes out. He said that the people at the hospital were all murdered by the German Soldiers, including a mother that was about to give birth. Lisa was very distraught and upset because the people who were shot were very close with David (her father). Later on, they have to find out how to take care of the baby, and deal with Susanne. Lisa and Susanne end up following Stefan knowing they're gonna get in trouble. They end up blowing up a building killing a few soldiers. They return home and Stefan is very mad. But, he agrees to get both of them involved because they both want to help.

2. When Lisa tells Stefan and Erik about the hospital massacre, how does Erik react? Why does his reaction make Stefan so mad? (3)

Erik reacts by saying how he feels really bad and that the whole situation was terrible, but Stefan doesn’t believe him. We learned earlier in the book how Erik is just trying to pretend that nothing is happening during the war and that he doesn’t want to help and just “minds his business.” Stefan gets really furious at Erik when he says he feels bad because he says that Erik has done nothing to help and now all of a sudden feels bad after pretending nothing was happening.

3. What “surprise” is waiting at home for Lisa and Stefan when they get back from Lisa’s birthday celebration? (1)

There surprise was that they had to find some way to take care of the baby, and later that night Suanne comes knocking at their door with ripped clothes, no hair, and burns all over her.

4. What happens to Susanne in chapter seven? (2)

The Germans bombed near where Susanne lived. Susanne had burns all over her, ripped up clothes, and no hair. Her parents were also killed in the bombing and she hasn’t been the same since.

5. In chapter eight, what was Susanne’s motivation for helping with the resistance bombing? (1)

Susanne’s motivation to help with the resistance bombing is that she is doing it for her parents. Since the Germans killed her parents, she is now trying to kill them to return the favor for what they did to her.

6. After they set the factory bomb, Lisa says the following:

“A chill runs down my spine. My God, I think, these Germans are dragging us all down to their level. How will we keep ourselves better than them?” (p. 46)

In your own words tell what does Lisa mean by this and what is she concerned about? (4)

I think she means that she is worried that she will act like them and that they were getting on the Germans level. She means that she is scared that they are acting like them because they are now fighting back and also killing people that they know nothing about which are exactly what the Germans are doing. She just doesn’t want to be like them and do what they are doing.

In this chapter, Lisa and Susanne sneak after Jesper after Susanne chases after him. Lisa knew something was going on, but she never dared to try and follow him. But since Susanne did, she had to go after her. They biked to the car he was in and got in too. Stefan was with two other men who looked like his helpers of some kind. They drove to a factory and exploded it. Susanne then whispers to Lisa "That was for mama and papa." We learn now that Susanne only wants to get back at them for what they did, and that getting back at them is her biggest motivation. After, they successfully explode the factory and manage to return home with no problems..

I think this chapter is where the real things really begin. I feel like later on Lisa's family is going to be affected a lot by this whole invasion. An example would be when Suzanne got very hurt and her parents are both now dead. This must add so much pressure on her and must be very confusing and scary. I believe this is just the start, and that there are other bad things to come. (I believe this will happen because of the way the author has written the chapters and the events that have happened so far).

Questions:

Will anyone else get seriously injured?

What will they do with Suzanne and the baby?

This chapter is quite short, but a lot happens. The chapter starts off by Lisa and her brother seeing the new baby. Their family agrees to take care of the baby until they find a place for her to go. the little baby's parents were both shot, and her grandparents are too far away to come get her. She has an uncle close by, but no one knows were he is. They suspect he was captured by the Germans and is probably in prison. Later that night, Lisa and her family hear a huge explosion outside their home. Lisa goes to check and sees a huge blazing fire near Suzanne's house. Lisa gets a really bad feeling in her stomach and worries something has happened to her, but she convinces herself that there's almost no way something happened to Suzanne exactly out of all people. A couple minutes later, everyone goes to bed except Lisa, she still feels like something is wrong. She hears a light knock on the door but she's scared to open it. She ends up walking towards it and opens it. Suzanne was standing there looking at Lisa. All her hair was gone, her clothes were destroyed, and she had burns everywhere. Lisa was screaming, but nothing came out. Stefan was covering her mouth. After, Lisa's family rush to help Suzanne...

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Abby,

I hope you're having a good day. I wanted to talk to you about a problem I have. It's me, Lisa, again. I was hoping you could help me. Well, it all started last night. I was listening to my parents talking in the living room and I overheard something about my dad not wanting to treat the Germans.

My mom was skeptical because she knew they would do something to him if he didn't. I didn’t even hesitate to barge into the room and tell my dad that I had a plan. My plan was that since he was a surgeon if the Germans made him treat them he could give them the wrong things. For example, he could treat them with sleeping pills and say they were pills for headaches or something like that. I blurted the idea without hesitation, and my parents slowly started to smile. They liked my idea, so I went back to bed knowing I might have just found a way out of this whole thing.

I covered myself in my quilt happy about my idea, but slowly it hit me that my plan was good, but if my dad got caught, really bad things could happen to him… I don’t know what to do, all I want is for my family to be safe and healthy. I don’t want to be controlled by some random Germans who kill people for no reason. Please give me any advice possible I really need it.

Thanks,

Lisa

By: Thomas Hardy

Instructions: For each line in this poem, rewrite the line in modern English. You will have to look up some of these words to be successful.

Had he and I but met
By some old ancient inn
We should have set us down to wet
Right many a nipperkin!

But ranged as infantry,
And staring face to face,
I shot at him as he at me,
And killed him in his place.

I shot him dead because—
Because he was my foe,
Just so: my foe of course he was;
That's clear enough; although

He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,
Off-hand like—just as I—
Was out of work—had sold his traps—
No other reason why.

Yes; quaint and curious war is!
You shoot a fellow down
You'd treat, if met where any bar is,
Or help to half a crown.

1. What is this author suggesting about the war in this poem?

I think the author is trying to tell us that war is very useless. War gets us nowhere in life, and killing random people makes no sense to me. For example, as said in the poem, someone you shoot in war could be someone you would've been best friends with. When in war, no one knows each other's backgrounds and why there, but the rules are you just shoot anyway. It makes me sad that there are still wars going on to this day.

This chapter is basically Lisa's family trying to find a solution to this whole invasion. At the start of the chapter, Lisa's dad (David) is refusing to treat the Germans. David is a surgeon and he obviously does not want to treat the Germans because of what they're doing. So in this chapter, Lisa came up with a plan. The plan was that her father would treat the germans, but with the wrong things. For example, he would treat them with sleeping pills and other things that are just enough to leave them sick in bed. This whole chapter is about discussing the plan.

Questions

Will David use the plan Lisa came up with?

Will the Germans catch him?

Answers

David never ends up using the plan Lisa came up with, so the Germans didn't really catch him. But, at the end of the story, they have a different plan.

1. In chapter one, the members of Lisa’s family have different reactions to the invasion of the Nazis. Describe their reactions. (4)

Stefan:

Stefan’s reaction was very aggressive, he was yelling and screaming. He was very upset that Denmark just gave up and surrendered, and he was saying that he couldn’t believe it because they barely fought back, they just quit. He also mentioned that it was very unfair that if they fought back, all they’d do is end up in jail.

Mother and Father:

I think the mother and Father are very consercened but try and hide it from their kids to calm them down and re-assure them. For example, when Lisa and Stefan came downstairs there parents were calm and collected, but when Lisa came back to grab Stefan’s bag, she saw her mom crying into her arms and her dad comforting her. Lisa trying to help, but her dad motioned her away and his eyes were teary and red too.

Erik:

Erik seems very unbothered by the whole situation, and it seems like hes acting this way because his dad said everything will be ok. Erik believes that all they have to do is stay calm and everything will be fine.

Lisa:

Lisa is very scared about the invasion. She says that she thinks the germans have no right to be there and that everything was cruel. She also seems very concerned for the way her parents are re-acting because they looked very worried too.

1. In chapter two, what dilemma does Lisa’s father face? (2)

Lisa’s father is torn because he is a surgeon and the Germans are forcing them to treat them but her father doesnt want to. He is afraid that if he doesnt treat them, they will put him in jail. But later on Lisa creates the idea instead of treating them, he would give them sleeping pills or headaches.

At the very end of chapter two, Lisa has an important realization about how much the war has changed things. What does she realize? Explain your answer. (2)

Lisa realizes that the war is very dangerous because the plan she had for her father to treat them wrong, could leave them in jail or even dead. Her father does not want to treat the Germans, but hes afraid that if he gives them the wrong things, he will get taken away or most likely killed and Lisa fears that it would be all her fault.

Why does Lisa decide to follow Stefan and Jesper? What does she discover? (2)

In the start of chapter 3, Lisa is sitting in class thinking about how she will follow her brother today. She thinks he is up to something, she also thinks her family has been acting really different and strange lately so she decides to follow Stefan and Erik. They end up walking to some sort of playground andLisa sees they are wearing big winter jackets. She thought it was weird since it was november and already getting warmer. Later, a man leaves a big package on the bench and leaves. Erik and Stefan take the package and shove it in their coats.

1. What “game” do Stefan and Lisa play with the Nazi soldiers? (1)

Lisa and Stefan play a game called chicken. The games works by walking right towards the German soldiers and talking pretending like they dont see them, and seeing who moves aside first. The soldiers usually move first, but one time Stefan went right between them and the soldier butted him in the side with his rifle.

1. Name three things the Resistance has done to fight back against the Nazis. (3)

They haven’t really done anything to fight back, and in the story Stefan even mentioned that Denmark surrendered. But, David is planning to treat the Germans with sleeping pills to fight back.

1. How does the Resistance “tell” the Danes the real news of the war? (2)

The Resistance (Germans) tell the Danes about the news about the war by dropping little leaflets down from airplanes. They would fly over-head and drop the pisces of paper talking about everything theve been able to blow up. But in chapter two we learn that Lisa’s family has stopped reading them because they think its just false rumors.

1. At the end of the chapter, Lisa is waiting anxiously for Stefan. Why? (1)

Lisa waits anxiously for Stefan to return because she probably wants to know what the package is and she also wants to convince them to let her help with whatever their doing.
