Summary:

This story takes place in Denmark while the Nazis are invading Denmark. They can see german planes dropping notes to make it seem like they're friendly. They don't know how to process this and are confused about school. They then end up heading to school. They arrive at school then their teacher starts crying and they don't know what to do.

Predictions:
I predict that when Lisa comes home her parents will be gone because of the Nazis. I also predict that they will start using nuclear weapons.

Questions:
What will happen to her parents?
Her parents are still alive and not captured
What will happen to the country?
It is getting invaded by Germany

Vocab:

Exodus- A mass departure of people

Propaganda- information, especially of a biased or misleading nature

Seder- A Jewish ritual

Matzo- Flatbread

Summary:

When Lisa got home and went to bed, she couldn't sleep because all she was thinking about were German soldiers. She imagined she was in the sea with her father but it was too dark due to the tape around the windows so light cannot escape so they do not get bombed. She then heard her parents yelling about how their leader surrendered. They invited Erik's parents to a Seder diner from Copenhagen. 2 weeks later, they are under invasion and her Dad is frightened. She then got an idea to use medicine to hurt them. The anger then disappeared from their faces. They then started looking for medicine to hurt the german soldiers because Lisa’s dad is a Doctor.

Predictions:

I think that the Germans will go door to door checking every house for people to take as hostages. I also think that they will find the medicine to kill or hurt the Germans with.

Questions:

Will they kill most of the Jewish people?
They have killed a good portion of them

What will happen to Lisa’s Dad?
Her dad is doing fine but almost got killed by a German

Some main points:
-Stefan, Jesper and someone else blew up the tool factory
-There is a lot of mixed emotions

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

Stefan:

Stefan is furious and upset about this because he knew from the start that they aren’t friendly.

Mother and Father:

They are frightened and scared because they don't know what to do and they want to protect their children.

Erik:

Erik feels betrayed because at first, he thought that they were protecting them.

Lisa:

Lisa didn’t know what to do because it was a lot to take on but she mainly feels scared.

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

The dilemma her father faces is to give the germans medicine to hurt or make them sick. He has to make the decision between doing it but may get killed, or do it successfully and get away with it.

1. 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)

She gets an idea that because her dad is a doctor, he can give the germans medicine to hurt them or make them very sick so they can have less soldiers.

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

She followed them because she overheard Jesper and Stefan talking about something they are doing after school and she discovered that they are going to blow up a factory that provides for the germans. ___________________________________________________________

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

The Resistance "tells" the Danes the real news of the war by leaflets that they dropped from planes and the radio. Another 2 are bombing the railway and bombing the tool factory. ___________________________________________________________

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

Vocab:

Overbearing- unpleasantly

Summary:
They argue if Lisa should tell everyone the truth that they are invading. She wanted to join the resistance. She will do it alone but he brought up that if they knew Stefan was letting her get involved. Erik and Lisa then arrive at school to see there is barb wire around the courtyard just to see prison men next to them. Erik asked them what language they speak but don't know. They got caught trying to run away but Ms Jensen stopped them. They return to their class and she does a job for Stefan but doesn't know how to explain to her mother that she's late.

Predictions:
I think she will arrive home and her mother will ground her for coming home late. I also think everything will become chaos.

Questions:
Will Lisa be grounded?
She was not grounded
Will Lisa join the resistance?
She did eventually join

Vocab:

veers-changing directly suddenly

Summary:
Lisa is trying not to get sick and asking for laundry from an old man. He then comes back with the laundry with the newspapers and hands it to her. She has something in her backpack and is feeling sick if someone will notice. She gets on a bus and she reaches down in a bag and can feel the papers. Two german soldiers are now across from her and she panics. She then throws up onto the German soldiers and they figure out with the newspapers. Then one is staring at the laundry bag and 20 people are between the soldiers and her. Another streetcar comes and she puts a bundle of newspapers in multiple. Stefan asks her how it went but she got sick. She told him that she threw up all the other German soldiers.

Predictions:
I think she is going to get caught by the German soldiers because I think she will run into them again and be sent to a concentration camp.

Questions:
Will she be caught?
She did not get caught
Will she get away with doing that job?
She did get away with it

“The Man He Killed” Name: ________________
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 war in this poem?

The author is suggesting that war is pointless and many die for no reason. It is also suggesting that a lot of people who have gone to war kill many people that they don’t have anything against. Also that people are never the same after and they are traumatized due to seeing a lot of glory. In conclusion, war shouldn’t be a thing and many kids, women, men and animals die from a pointless war.

Letter of Advice

Your letter will include:

Part A: Salutation

Dear Abby

Please can I have some advice. My name is Lisa and I'm 14 years old, I have a brother, a mother and a father. We are currently getting invaded by Germany and they don't like Jewish people. Unfortunately for us, we are Jewish. I'm not saying I'm not proud of being Jewish but It sucks because the Germans will send us away for being Jewish. I am trying to fight them off by joining the resistance because I can’t just sit here doing nothing. If we are caught doing something against them, we are sent to a concentration camp. I hate the feeling of being in control from a different person, it's the worst feeling ever. My dad is a doctor at a hospital and is forced to treat the German soldiers.

Part 2

I recently told him that he should treat the Germans with things that will make them sick. I realized that it's putting his and our lives at risk if he gets caught, but if he doesn’t, it will help us to fight them off. The consequence of getting caught is going to a concentration camp and we would die there. Recently, a German shot everyone in an operating room after my dad was done delivering a baby and is now scarred from watching them get shot. I won’t just let them do these things, that's why I joined the resistance.

Part 3

Anyways, I don’t know what to do. I am really stumped. Can I please have some advice on what to do? Please respond as fast as you can because we don’t know what's going to happen next.

Sincerely: Dumbfounded in Denmark

Personal thoughts: I agree with what hey are doing because the Germans are in the wrong

-Susanne killed a German for "being a part of the resistance"
-A comedian got shipped for doing a mock of the German salute
-They drop his body in the water
-They have a loose floorboard with tons of guns

Predictions: I think they will have to kill another German soldier to stay alive

Questions:

A) “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)

The context is that they don’t feel good about something and it’s significant because they are
trying to escape but its stressful.

B) “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)

The context is that everyone feels sick about the invasion and its significant because it shows
that everyone is scared.

C) “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)
The context is they need to be better than the Germans and its significant because it explains
that they need to be better to stay alive.

D) “ ‘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)

The context is people regret being Jewish because the Germans will kill you if you are and its
significant because it shows how cruel the Germans are.

E) “ ‘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. The rabbi going on holiday on Rosh Hashanah?
Then it hits me.” (p.62)

The context is everyone is leaving and the significant is that everyone is leaving because of the
Germans.

I enjoyed this book very much because there was a lot going on like for example, they had to escape from their homes, tell everyone what was really going on and try escaping Denmark. Its also good to learn about World War II and how hard it was for the people. If I was to read another book like this, I would because I enjoy books about war. I hope I get to do another novel study about the World Wars next year because they are interesting to do.

In conclusion, I enjoyed this book a lot from the characters to them escaping.
