Between Shades of Gray 9th by Lita Armendariz https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/hfq6r1ew2xr1hjie Words we love. en-us 2020-04-12 21:52:15 UTC 2025-08-09 03:31:21 UTC hello@padlet.com “Have you ever wondered what a human life was worth. That morning, my brother's life was worth a pocket watch.” 100134825 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/hfq6r1ew2xr1hjie/wish/508471710 2020-04-15 13:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/hfq6r1ew2xr1hjie/wish/508471710 That statement happens when the soldiers try to take Jonas, and the Mother trades items, including the pocket watch, for his release. That is powerful to me, because it shows how brutal and evil people can be. 100134825 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/hfq6r1ew2xr1hjie/wish/508472442 2020-04-15 13:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/hfq6r1ew2xr1hjie/wish/508472442 100137690 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/hfq6r1ew2xr1hjie/wish/508554997 “No one spoke. How could we stand up for ourselves if everyone cowered in fear and refused to speak?” ]]> 2020-04-15 14:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/hfq6r1ew2xr1hjie/wish/508554997 100137690 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/hfq6r1ew2xr1hjie/wish/508555625 I think this line is powerful because it’s so true. Lina wants to change the situation that her and her family are in, but she can’t do it alone and wishes that everyone would speak up and try to change the way they are all being treated.

I looked up. The librarian hovered over me. All of the children were gone.
“Lina, are you okay? You’re flushed, You’re not feeling ill, are you?”
I shook my head and held up my notebook  
“Oh my word, Lina did you draw that?” The Librarian quickly reached for the pad.
I nodded smiling.
