Our leader, //Adolf Hitler,//and the Nazi party, //hated people like me.

This line makes me feel sad because  it is mean to talk about deaf people.

"Poor Kurt
Wrapped his dreams
Around him
Like a patchwork quilt"(Lezotte 52).

This line is an example of a simile. I think it's important because it explains that Poor Kurt doesn't have the best life so he thinks about his dreams a lot. This is also important because Poor Kurt doesn't seem like he would want a lot except to be free and not be scared hiding from the Nazis so he wraps his only dreams around him to keep them safe and to remember them. This line makes me feel bad for Poor Kurt because he seems lonely and scared all by himself hiding from someone trying to kill him

"Poor Kurt
Wrapped his dreams
Around him
Like a patchwork quilt."

This is a simile by saying his dreams are wrapped around him like a quilt. The author used like or as during this which caught my eye when I saw this. This is important because it seems like Kurt doesn't have to many dreams so he tries to keep them wrapped around him so he doesn't forget them.

I was fair like father;// Clara was dark like mother._ Father and I// Loved being in the sun;// Mother and Clara// Sat in front of the hearth's fire._ We were robust like horses// They were elegant and slinky like cats._ We enjoyed eating big meals.// They took small bites of a single radish._ We snored like buzz saws// Or a hornets' nest.// Their dreams were silent// And beautiful like flowers"(LeZotte 5).

This is an example of simile. This is important because it shows that Paula has a better connection and relationship with her dad, while her sister, Clara, had a better connection and relationship with their mother.

"He'd never heard// Such a terrible thing//In his life.//
He made a vow// To protect me// At the expense// Of his own life" (LeZotte 33).

This line is interesting to me because I can relate to it. Paula and her father are much closer than Paula and her mother. I'm closer to my dad than I am to my mom.

"I am Deaf, but I have heard // The beauty of song (LeZotte 1)

This is interesting because it tells the reader she is deaf. Hitler wants to kill people with disabilities. She has to hide from Hitler and the T4.

"At the shelter,// I watched people around me._They were talking about the crimes//That were being committed._I learned things I couldn't believe were true"(LeZotte 47).

This is important because she didn't know what was going on while T4 was the new law. So she didn't really know why she was being seperated from her family. She is probably know realizing what was happening and why her parents had to keep  her indoor instead of playing outside.

" A few//Of my// Favorite things//In a shawl"(leZotte 35).
It like adds emotion to the poem because like it tells the reader that people only got to bring a few of there belongings and it could only be smaller things.

"I put my fingers on the vocal cords// of my family,// I wanted to feel// what talking sounded like__I tried to open my mouth// and make sounds,// but nobody understood me.//( (Lezotte 6).
This stood out because the way she said it, I could imagine a girl really wanting to be able to communicate, and doing anything she could to understand.  This adds to the story because it adds to her eager to learn personality, and how much she wishes she wouldn´t have to worry about standing out.

"I wanted to feel
What talking sounded like...lip-reading" (LeZotte 6).

I think this line is interesting because it highlights how differently Paula experiences things. She finds odd but clever ways to hear without ears. This might reflect how she survives T4 later in the book, that maybe using things she's picked up from being deaf will save her. An ending like that would also be sweet and poetic.

"a few//of my//favorite things//Grandmother knitted://A teddy bear named Emma,//A spool of brown thread and needle,//An old fairy tale book with the story//of Hansel and Gretel,//And my pocket-size pad and pencil "(Lezotte 35) In the sentence "spool of brown thread..." the word spool is a interesting word choice
