All these things are happening to them but they are still holding on because they know someone will come. ]]> 2020-04-15 13:49:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/508517751 Lakin https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/508603142 “What are you crying for?” complained the bald man. “You knew it was going to happen. What was the baby going to eat, lice? You’re all imbeciles. The thing is better off. When I die, if you’re smart you’ll 🤬 if you all want to survive so badly.”

You stand for what is right, Lina, without the expectation of gratitude or reward. Now, off to your homework.”]]> 2020-04-15 15:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/508788347 100148160 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/508789393 This quote establishes how Lina's father fully believes in doing the right thing, even if he isn't rewarded for his actions. It also shows the goodness and righteousness of Mr. Vilkas.]]> 2020-04-15 15:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/508789393 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/509249353 I thought about Papa. Did he know about the war? Did he know we all had lice? Did he know we were huddled together with a dead baby? Did he know how much I missed him? I clutched the handkerchief in my pocket, thinking of Papa’s smiling face. ]]> 2020-04-15 19:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/509249353 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/509250269 Because it's showing her how her separation from her father is affecting her and how she is missing him dearly and unsure about what is going to happen to him, her family and everyone that she is stuck with for the time being. ]]> 2020-04-15 19:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/509250269 Stand for what is right without expectation or reward. https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/511445129
This is a great quote because if you have expectation for reward it shows that you are greedy and don't really care about the  cause.]]> 2020-04-16 18:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/511445129 “Well, we’re not,” said Mother. “We’re not sick. We’ll soon be back in our homes. When the rest of the world finds out what the Soviets are doing, they will put an end to this.” Would they? 100171239 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/511673012 It makes you think, sure, at that time people realized what Stalin and the Soviets did and were mad, but now, barely anyone talks about this or even remembers this.]]> 2020-04-16 21:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/511673012 "You stand for what is right, without the expectation of gratitude or reward." 100142662 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/512025441 I thought this was a really powerful line because it showed a sophisticated morale that Lina’s father followed. It is also a value that everyone needs to learn because standing up for what’s right is what will make the difference in this world.

You stand for what is right, without the expectation of gratitude or reward. 100177689 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/513098490 This quote really impacted me a lot, it really shows how her father stands up for what he believes, which most of the people don’t have enough courage to do so.

I'll make the Soviets look nice” 100133126 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/513128528 I liked this because Andrius is telling the old man how he feels but he is a little mean about it which is why this part is so good.]]> 2020-04-17 15:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/513128528 I knew I had to learn russian eventually, but I hated the thought of it 100153247 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/513183666 This shows how much she doesn't want to succumb to the soviet influence]]> 2020-04-17 15:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/513183666 100133846 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/513215207 I stared at Anrius. Dried blood caked his teeth and the corner of his lips. His jaw was swollen. I hated them, the NKVD and the Soviets.

Did he know how much I missed him? 100131400 https://padlet.com/lubbockisd/m89kfdn54jgm7onv/wish/513650372 This line stands out because it shows how much Lina is worried about being separated from her papa.
