Book Snaps//Cordelia by Cordelia Klammer https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc Made with a creative frenzy en-us 2019-03-25 16:11:43 UTC 2019-04-25 15:49:29 UTC hello@padlet.com “‘A gift from me,’ he said. ‘But please remember one thing. If you ever let me down, you’d better use it on yourself.’” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353958031 In this scene, the commander has presented Alfons with a gift. A pistol that came with a difficult toll. If Alfons was ever to turn in the commander, he is requested to kill himself. I chose this because I’m confused as to why the Commander trusts Alfons to take his word and kill himself if he betrays the Commander, But he feels the need to remind him of the consequences that come with betraying the Hitler Youth.]]> 2019-04-25 01:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353958031 “The prisoner got the shoes, but need I say that Mrs. Frank never saw that soup or that woman again?” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353959930 In this scene, Mrs. Frank is bargaining with another prisoner for soup for her daughters in exchange for her shoes. But, she never sees the prisoner or the soul again. I chose this because it shows the lies and how nobody helped other victims the Holocaust.]]> 2019-04-25 01:16:25 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353959930 “‘With a smile of satisfaction, without a trace of compassion, the SS men stood, looking like proud victors. Dealing terrible blows [with hard rubber clubs], they drove the boys into the bunker [to be killed]. The joy on the faces of the SS men was unbelievable. Had they never had any children of their own ever?’” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353961566 In this quote, a survivor of the Holocaust describes the expressions in SS officers faces as they lined boys up for gassing. I chose this because it shows the heartlessness of the officers. They new what was happening, but were so blinded by Hitlers poisoning beliefs that they didn’t stop and think of what they were doing.]]> 2019-04-25 01:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353961566 “‘Oh, Prinz,’ I sobbed, ‘why didn’t I take you and Felix with me?’” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353963579 In this scene, Alfons has just returned to his farm after a bombing event only to find his dog and horse dead. I. chose this because (personally) it was the only part of the book that induced honest sadness on me, the reader, mentally. ]]> 2019-04-25 01:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353963579 “When it was my turn to be examined, one of the doctors looked at my swollen stomach and said, ‘She must be pregnant.’” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353964078 In this scene, Helen is being examined by doctors and told that she appears pregnant. I found this interesting because due to her condition, it’s physically impossible for her to be pregnant.]]> 2019-04-25 01:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353964078 “During one particularly upsetting day, when I scolded her for something, she turned to me and screamed, ‘I wish you had never come back!’ Both of us cried.” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353964919 In this scene, Doris has just begun to live with her biological mother and already has very strong opinions about her. I chose this quote because Doris doesn’t understand the seriousness and luck that the situation has. Her mother survived and she doesn’t show any sympathy or compassion for her. Helen has hoped and searched for her daughter and is greeted by someone who doesn’t enjoy being in her presence.]]> 2019-04-25 01:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353964919 “It was my brother Rudolph who, without realizing it, helped me decide what to do.” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353974661 In this scene, Alfons finds himself in a tough situation and unknowingly find guidance from his twin. I chose this because I was confused as to why Rudolph all of a sudden rejoined the story. Where was he for the rest of it?]]> 2019-04-25 02:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353974661 “Finding no one with whom to discuss the Holocaust, Helen began reading.” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353974879 Helen has now realized that nobody wants to listen to her about the Holocaust and no one who survived was within reach. I wonder what books she read? Were they about the Holocaust or topics that intrigued her?]]> 2019-04-25 02:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353974879 “During the war, such a refusal could have had the person shot before a firing squad.” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353975367 Alfons is just realizing the strictness of being in the Jungvolk. I wonder why they were so strict and if there were any people who weren’t punished for disobeying?]]> 2019-04-25 02:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353975367 “I had no intention of seeing the fortune-teller myself, but when we arrived, the woman asked me to follow her into an empty room.” 1002162 https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353976248 Helens friend has convinced her to see a fortune-teller, even though she doesn’t believe anything they say. I wonder why she allowed her friend to convince her and I wonder what would’ve happened if she hadn’t gone to see the fortune-teller?]]> 2019-04-25 03:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1002162/axyto0xuv0gc/wish/353976248
