This line along with the image has lingered with me—Dounia's mother's expression coupled with her not being recognizable is frightening and unnatural. I find this page the most disturbing in the book—the separation and reunion are unimaginable. ]]> 2022-03-30 23:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2122437831 https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124022285 "Some people suggested that we become a family of sheriffs" on page 9 stood out to me because I didn't understand what that meant. It wasn't until the illustration on the next page that i understood why the father said that. ]]> 2022-03-31 17:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124022285 garrettritcheson https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124023652 "At first, I didn't recognize her" this stuck with me because it was sad that she couldn't even recognize her mother after what had happened at the camps. ]]> 2022-03-31 17:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124023652 jacklarsen https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124024280 "Well I hope you're ashamed of what you're doing. You filthy Traitor!" (42) When The Old Lady Sells out the Family for hiding a Jew in their home, calling them a traitor, I found it very powerful in a bad way. I think that if people are considered traitors for helping a member of their country, things have taken a turn for the worst. I think the most powerful thing about this page was the old woman being punched. Because She deserved it.]]> 2022-03-31 17:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124024280 https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124024436 66, whole page (drawing). I think this drawing is really impactful, because throughout the story we've had a child's perspective in a childlike voice. It isn't sugarcoated but there is an element of youthful innocence to it, and this photo is the most shocking and impactful. It alludes to all the things Dounia didn't have to go through and what many other people did. 
"I'm still waiting for him." (panel 3, page 67). This line shows how the impact of the Holocaust lingered and changed people's lives. ]]> 2022-03-31 17:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124024436 audreybrogan https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124024664 "They told me that I would never see him again...but I still can't get used to the idea" (68) This quote stood out to me because I think it really gives an image of how devastated she was and how that caused her to deny what has happened. ]]> 2022-03-31 17:09:13 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124024664 elliottspaulding https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124025089 "It was very hard. I loved her very much but I didn't want to call her mommy. She wasn't my mommy." (47) This line and the images that went with it stood out to me because it showed the darkness of this period. Also, it showed the hopelessness of the main character and the struggle that it was like to live for Jewish kids and adults during this time. The image spoke to me because of the darkness surrounding the girl and woman in the picture. Whether Jewish people were actually hiding and surrounded by darkness or at school and surrounded by darkness, it was always surrounding them. ]]> 2022-03-31 17:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124025089 jillian_bennett https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124025192 "Dad was happy. Mom looked very sad" (pg.8). For some reason, this line along with the image with it really stuck with me because even though it was early on it started to foreshadow how bad things would get. Not only did Dounia's observation of her parents speak many words, but so did the look on her mother's face while she was sewing the star of David onto her sweater. ]]> 2022-03-31 17:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124025192 https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124025788 "I didn't know what the camp was. The only thing that sunk in...was that they were still alive. I wasn't happy...but I understood." (39)
This line stuck out to me because this was the moment where Dounia understood that there was still hope, but that she had to put her feelings aside if it meant that she got the opportunity to live.]]> 2022-03-31 17:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124025788 evelyncostigan https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124025906 "Some people suggested that we become a family of sheriffs." (8.3) 
It really shows just how young Dounia was that her father made up such things about her family's situation. 
"What's going on? Why was the teacher upset with me?" (11.1) Even the adults in her life that are supposed to be accepting of her treated her terribly.

I didn't care who had won or lost. my daddy had come home and that was all the victory I needed"(Hidden 5) I love this quote because it displaces the simple innocence that the charters has, and that is so important to this children's story. through innocence, we can see a unique and imported perspective on the war. ]]> 2022-03-31 17:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124028095 https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124426420 " 'You should be grateful that you're even allowed in the school. I told you to take your things...and go to the back row. Don't you understand French? Oh, and it's no use crying. That won't make any difference!' " (11)

I found this entire page impactful because it can be seen as the beginning of when Dounia realized that something was very wrong. ]]> 2022-03-31 22:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2124426420 https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2128626169 "At first I thought Caroline was jealous. It didn't take me long to understand it was worse than that." (10) This quote stood out to me because of how it exposes her innocence towards the world, and sets up the destruction of it.]]> 2022-04-04 13:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2128626169 https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2128657251 "What I'm sure of is that Mr. Pericard's disappearance made me understand that I wasn't the only one to have lost someone close to me."(pg 45) This page and quote stood out to me because it shows Dounia's growth as a character. Previously all she had been doing was crying because her parents were gone but this was the point where she grew up and saw that everyone was going through what she was.]]> 2022-04-04 13:38:48 UTC https://padlet.com/blierl/pbvv3arna5lk8evw/wish/2128657251
