Young, because in the beginning of the book he is 14. Alone, because all of his family gets killed by the Nazis, and he is the only one left. Afraid, because he is constantly afraid that he will be killed by the Nazis. Trapped, because he has no way of escaping the concentration camps without being shot. Lost, because he keeps being bounced around between concentration camps, with no family and no friends.]]> 2020-12-10 19:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1007623647 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1007649110 2020-12-10 19:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1007649110 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1010916895 If Yanek had a phone, some of the apps he would have would most likely be, maps so that he knew where he was and where he was going, health so he could monitor his health, contacts so he can make calls, messages so he can send messages, a web browser so that he can search things up, clock so that he can know what time it is, and translate to translate languages that he does not understand. Just to name a few.]]> 2020-12-11 18:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1010916895 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1010949407 The Nazis have power in this book. The invade Poland during World War II, and every jew is either killed or taken to the camps. They kill jews for their own enjoyment, and the ones that survive are worked to death, or starvation. They abuse their power way too much in this book.]]> 2020-12-11 18:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1010949407 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1010970006 I give this book five stars. This is because this book tells a lot about the horror of what the holocaust was, and shows this boy's terrible yet compelling story. (This book is based off of a true story). It shows what the Nazis did to people for no reason but that they were different. It is important for us to know about this so that history doesn't repeat itself.]]> 2020-12-11 18:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1010970006 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1010988846 One book that they would like would be Grenade, also by Alan Gratz. It is a book about a boy named Hideki who is an Okinawan living on Okinawa when the Japanese take it over as a defending point against the Americans during World War II. He is trying to find his family through the blood, war, and pain. Another book that they might like is Refugee, another book by Alan Gratz. It is a book that features 3 stories in one. Josef is a jewish boy escaping Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Isabel is a Cuban girl escaping Castro's regime in 1994. Mahmoud is a Syrian boy running from the conflict in Syria in 2015. All of them lose family, are constantly in danger, and witness unthinkable things. Another book that they might like is Projekt 1065, also by Alan Gratz. It is a book about a boy named Michael, he and his parents are spies living in Nazi Germany, during World War II. Michael is part of the Hitler Youth, and his family's jobs are to help downed allied airmen and send The Allies coded messages with the locations of Nazi Factories. One day a boy in Michaels Hitler Youth group shows him secret blueprints to projekt 1065, and to get the blueprints he has to go deeper, and he may have to sacrifice everything. ]]> 2020-12-11 18:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1010988846 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1011084103 Simile, "I watched them go by, a few hundred or so, their heads bent low and every one of them as silent as the grave." Metaphor, "We were skeletons. Ghosts. Filthy toothless creatures in oversized, soiled prisoner uniforms." Onomatopoeia, "A gunshot rang out. CRACK! A women screamed. Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop went a machine gun."]]> 2020-12-11 19:19:19 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1011084103 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1011126568 #nomatterwhathopewillprevail]]> 2020-12-11 19:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1011126568 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1011275398 1 Internal Conflict is that Yanek keeps thinking about how his whole family was killed by the Nazis, and he wonders if his life will ever be the same. 1 External Conflict is Yanek trying to survive in the concentration camps, despite all of the death around him.]]> 2020-12-11 20:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1011275398 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1017326924 My favorite part of the novel was when Yanek found his Uncle Moshe at the first concentration camp, because it was a glimmer of light in the darkness.]]> 2020-12-14 18:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1017326924 silbe04345 https://padlet.com/silbe04345/kw2ae3dfmhk5fx63/wish/1017476610 "If I had known that the next six years of my life were going to be like, I would have eaten more. I wouldn't have complained about brushing my teeth, or taking a bath, or going to bed at eight o'clock every night. I would have played more. Laughed more. I would have hugged my parents and told them I loved them."
