 When the doors opened each and every person in the cart could be characterized as relieved. " At the second stop, they heard the grateful cries of their neighbors as they were led from the other boxcar. But pound as they might on the slats, their own door remained shut."(85) Was this a punishment for them speaking out earlier, or was it just their turn to be locked in?]]> 2020-05-24 15:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591462395 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591466679
 Now that the villagers had time to think about what is going on they are starting to realize things and events that have happened to others. This of course is creating more fear for everyone. " But whatever it was, the villagers were made to lie down in trenches, like herring, head to foot. And then, Lord God, they were slaughtered as they lay there, by soldiers with machine guns." (80)Some people are hesitant to believe that these stories are true.]]> 2020-05-24 15:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591466679 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591468204
. As soon as the car stopped and the soldiers started unloading the villagers everyone could share the characterization of fear as the soldiers started treating them poorly.  "When no one moved the soldiers raised their guns. Shmuel put his hand on the raised panel and leaped down." (73) Maybe some people will start to believe what Hannah has been saying.]]> 2020-05-24 15:33:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591468204 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591470357
 All the villagers can be characterized as confused when they were told to get into the trucks."Their argument is persuasive," Shmuel answered, his thumb and forefinger pointed at her like a gun. They say all Jews are being resettled. It is government policy."(68)]]> 2020-05-24 15:35:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591470357 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591472223
 During the scene where the villagers are all loaded into the cars and are being carried away shows how the villagers even in tough times will stick together. " But first Shmuel, then Yitzchak, then several other men in their truck joined in, singing at the top of their voices. the children on their perches clapped in rhythm."(71) Each is using the song to lighten the dreary mood and distract their minds from the fear of what is yet to come.]]> 2020-05-24 15:36:37 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591472223 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591473609
Throughout the chapter the badchan recites many foreshadowing sentences that can be deciphered. "Better the fox to guard the hens and the wolves to guard the sheep," the badchan said."(69)  He is stating that the villagers are the hens or the sheep and the Nazi's are the foxes and the wolves. He is stating that the Nazis guarding them will not have any better of an outcome than a fox or wolf watching over hens or chickens.]]> 2020-05-24 15:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591473609 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591475010
throughout the whole chapter there was a very distinct mood. The mood was both confused about what is happening, and fearful of what is to come later on. " A woman, her voice edged with hysteria, said, "You heard, you heard, but if they were all dead, how could anyone know for sure?"(80)]]> 2020-05-24 15:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591475010 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591476723
 It is clear to see that the Nazi's in this story are seen as the antagonists for they are hurting all of the characters physically and emotionally. It is also taught in history classes, as shown by Hannah's flashbacks, that the Nazi party was never seen as good people."Leave them! a soldier said, slamming his rifle butt into Shmuel's shins. "Get Down."(86)]]> 2020-05-24 15:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591476723 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591477341 2020-05-24 15:40:24 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591477341 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591483249 The Nazi's were cunning and tricked the villagers into getting into the vans by lying and force.  "Nevertheless," the colonel continued, smiling, "in this matter, we will make the ruling. When you get to your new homes, anyone who wants to work will be treated humanely. The tailor will sew, the shoemaker will have his last. And you will be happy among your own people, just as we will be happy you have followed the government's orders."(69) He makes it sound like they will be treated humanely, but in the end they are treated terribly.]]> 2020-05-24 15:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591483249 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591492946 Hannah  fights the external conflict of trying to tell the villagers what is going to happen to threm, but they won't listen. " Hannah tried to speak again, but this time Gitl's hand covered her entire mouth. "Be still, child," Gitl whispered. "Whatever your objections, be still. This is not one of your stories that ends happy-ever-after."(70)]]> 2020-05-24 15:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591492946 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591497226 The  verses " Sir, give me a piece of bread, Look at me, so pale and dead."(70) sounds like it's foreshadowing the upcoming events of the holocaust. It's feels ironic as well that they happen to be singing this as their being carried away by the Nazi's.]]> 2020-05-24 15:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591497226 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591504045 It is historically accurate the way the Nazi's treat the Jews with little to no care by packing them in tight boxcars for long periods of time that would clearly kill the weak. " The stench in the crowded boxcar was overwhelming, a powerful stew of human perspiration and fear and the smell of children being sick."(79)]]> 2020-05-24 15:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591504045 1073154 https://padlet.com/1073154/9imy7bnex4jxplki/wish/591521956 Even though it is terrible I can predict that Tzipporah is either already dead, or isn't going to make it very far.
