He really matches the mood on the st.louis with fictional characters. He didn't come up with events he actually used real events that happened.]]> 2022-04-20 18:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2150788322 ellasorensen1 https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2150804809 Alan Gratz includes a lot of smaller details. He didn't just include the major events of what happened like the refugees not being accepted into Cuba and having to leave, but also includes the suicides and the conversations. With the interviews he includes some connections into those people. Now, he obviously doesn't use their actual names, but he makes his own "characters" and has them live through some things that the actual refugees had lived through. Normally I'm not into books like this, but Gratz is just insanely good at it-]]> 2022-04-20 18:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2150804809 https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2150912406 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ]]> 2022-04-20 19:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2150912406 https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2151042274 Alan Gratz is really good at making the story seem real and alive, it seems more like you are watching a movie, not listening to or reading a book. The way the people are telling their story is almost exactly the same as how Alan Gratz is describing the events in the book.]]> 2022-04-20 21:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2151042274 https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2152160031 Alan Gratz uses real events from the ST. Louis and is putting them in his story and putting his own little spin on it to mix it with his character Josef]]> 2022-04-21 14:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2152160031 https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2155946523 Alan gratz researches a lot about what the storys gonna be about so he can add little details and so it can be historically accurate. Hes very good at researching and adding connections and writing it into a real thing. The fact that its very historically accurate makes the story itself better.]]> 2022-04-25 05:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kjakins/h1tpsg8izeo3k9d7/wish/2155946523
