I could hardly bear the heat and the quiet and the emptiness.”pg 6, This shows that Ada's experience at Mam’s house was very grim and sad. It also describes that it was very hot and lonely. Throughout the book it also talks about how small the room is and how it is filled with many small critters.]]> 2022-05-12 19:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2181861803 eduvall1 https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2181868475 “The second was that the royal air force built an airfield across the road from Butter’s pasture. It went up in three days, landing strip, huts , everything. Jamie, fascinated, kept sneaking over to watch, until an officer marched him back to Miss Smith.”pg 69, In this quote it shows that the airfield was very quick to build and very little materials to make it because materials were scarce at this time. It also shows that they didn’t want anyone at the airfields as it shows when Jamie is kicked out of the airfield.]]> 2022-05-12 20:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2181868475 eduvall1 https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2181879739 “ Miss Smith bought acres of black material for the blackout. We’d been under blackout regulations since the first day of evacuation, before the war even began.” pg 118, It was very important at the time to put blackout regulations across that house. They did this to stop any light from getting through the window if there was an enemy plane overhead. ]]> 2022-05-12 20:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2181879739 eduvall1 https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2181884828 “I’d never yet gone inside. I hated it, it scared me, it was so much like the cabinet under the sink at home. The one with the roaches. I could never see them or stop them.” pg 267, In this description of the bomb shelter it is portrayed as very dull and small. It also shows that Ada is not at all fond of staying at the shelter because it reminds her of her sink at home.]]> 2022-05-12 20:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2181884828 eduvall1 https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2183363027 “Trees were tall and thin, like stalks of celery, only giant sized. Brusts of green on the top. “When were you in a churchyard?” I asked. What’s a churchyard? I might have asked next. There was no end to the things I didn’t know.” pg 25, In this part of the story the churchyard described by Jamie is full of grass and different  plants that looked like stalks of celery. I also believe Jamie described it by this because Ada knew what celery was, however she didn’t know what a plant or a tree was.]]> 2022-05-13 19:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2183363027 eduvall1 https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2183366015 “The village didn’t have an empty building big enough to hold the evacuated children, so the evacuees had to share the village school. The regular village students would attend with their regular teachers from eight until noon, and then the evacuees and the evacuated teachers would go from one in the afternoon until five.” pg 88, This quote describes the village school and how it works throughout the book. It also describes how the evacuated children had to share the school with the village children, it was not big enough to fit all the kids because of the circumstances that the people were in. ]]> 2022-05-13 19:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2183366015 eduvall1 https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2183384861 “I led Maggie’s brother’s horse into an empty stall. The horse thrust his head into a water bucket and then into a pile of hay. I got the saddle off him-not hard, just buckled under the flap bits-and slung it over the door, then got the bridle off. I shut the horse in the stall and carried the tack and bridle to their storeroom, which I found without any trouble.”pg 45, This quote describes the inside of Lady Thorntons barn; it also shows how to get all of the stuff off of the horse. It also talks about the hay and the bucket inside the barn for Maggie's brother's  horse to eat and drink. ]]> 2022-05-13 19:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2183384861 eduvall1 https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2183385970 “Walking was harder than in our flat. The shoe helped, but by the time I'd made it to the end of the lane, my foot hurt so badly I didn't think I could take a single step further. But I did.”pg 17, Ada takes incredible risk running away from the house, fleeing London. She struggles on the street as it is her first time going outside and walking on the rough street. Ada shows clear determination as she believes she won't make it to the trains at the school without collapsing or getting caught by her mom but still continues, getting calluses and scars around her foot and leg until she reaches her goal.]]> 2022-05-13 20:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/eduvall1/e82eotrh8cdeted7/wish/2183385970
