He thought of Samuel, his older brother, and all of the memories that they shared throughout their journey during the war. This was powerful to me because Michael felt a certain way about Samuel that most siblings don’t share with each other. ]]> 2019-04-12 19:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/351292419 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353515091 This quote stood out to me because what Michael said, proves that memories of even the most memorable be easily forgotten. The memory of the Holocaust should never be forgotten, in Michael’s eyes. He believes that even know he doesn’t remember all of the things that happened to him or his family during the Holocaust, he still believes that they have a large impact on how our future will turn out to be. ]]> 2019-04-23 19:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353515091 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353516289 This quote from Michael’s Aunt Hilda stood out to me because she knew, even though she didn’t say it, that Michael’s mother, her sister, would come back. She also expressed how lucky she, herself was to be there alive. Hilda knew that anything was possible and told Michael never to give up hope that his mother was coming back. Also, this quote was very powerful to me because of the way Hilda expressed her feelings towards Michael’s mother and how she felt of the situation in Michael’s eyes, because he had lost his mother. ]]> 2019-04-23 19:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353516289 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353518337 I think this quote is powerful and very sad because when Lukasz tells Sophie to say hello to Israel, she feels heartbreak, just as she did in the Auschwitz death camp during the war. Although she didn’t want to share that Israel was gone with Lukasz, she knew that he was and that she must move on with her life, that she cannot dwell on the death of her husband any longer. ]]> 2019-04-23 19:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353518337 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353519895 This quote seems powerful to me because it is foreshadowing events that may occur in the future for Sophie and Michael. This creates large suspense and makes the reader want to read more, and more. As the story goes on, the suspense increase, until finally, a very large event occurs that will change the course of history for Michael and his family. ]]> 2019-04-23 19:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353519895 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353521491 This quote is powerful because of what Hilda and Sophie’s mother would say, “always look forward.” This quote has an impact on me, personally, because my father says this to me whenever I feel and or when something bad happens. These words help me to feel better and to get through life, just a little bit easier. ]]> 2019-04-23 19:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353521491 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353522873 This quote is powerful to me because it gives a Michael flashbacks to his time at the Auschwitz death camp, which for so many innocent Jews, was their last sight in the real world. This was also the last sight for Michael’s father and brother when they were suffocated in a gas chamber during the war. ]]> 2019-04-23 19:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/353522873 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/354085941 This section is powerful to me because when Bobeshi says that they are lucky to have each other, that really took an impact on the rest of the story in later chapters. In the later chapters, Michael meets new relatives that he didn’t know he had before. After he met those relatives, he never felt more at home and he felt safer than he ever did before. ]]> 2019-04-25 13:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/354085941 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/354195017 This section is important because it includes a significant quote from Ruth, which is, “Miami, I won’t leave you. I won’t every leave you.” This is ironic because Ruth’s parents eventually have to give her over to friends and then an orphanage. This is significant because Ruth later forgets that she was Jewish and even changed her name, all because her mother had to give her up during the war. ]]> 2019-04-25 17:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/354195017 1002563 https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/354196510 This section is very significant, because Dora and Michael stay in the infirmary, which inevitably leads to their survival. The other campmates were sent on death marches, to their deaths. If Dora and Michael were to have gone on the March, they would easily have died during, or after it. The doctor that Michael saw when he was Auschwitz practically saved his life and his grandmother’s because they trusted him that they would be safe in the infirmary. ]]> 2019-04-25 17:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1002563/lm6pjnsusyi/wish/354196510
