    I think the authors suggest that war isn't all about victory and losing. It explains that you can ask someone out for a drink with your foe then the next day you could kill the foe and still go on with your day. It doesn't matter if it's your rival. You're fighting for your country and that's all that matters when you're on the battlefield. You win some and you lose some but at the end of the day you’ve killed many people to help your country win or grow.

    When Lisa tells Stefan and Erik about the hospital massacre both of their faces change. Stefans face changed to what looked like his color drained from his face and Eriks face turned flushed.

Stefan explodes with anger and tries to attack Erik but Lisa stops them before Stefan can get a hand on Erik.

    The “surprise” that was waiting at home for Lisa and Stefan when they got back from Lisa's birthday celebration was a wrinkled pink baby in her fathers arms. The baby is named Sarah and she was the baby the family who got shot in the hospital.





    1. What happens to Susanne in chapter seven? (2)


    When the bomb hits the area where Susanne lives Lisa thought something happened to her but she thought to herself she is just being silly. While in bed Lisa couldn’t sleep so she sat in her fathers chair then heard 2 knocks. When she opened the door it was Susanne with her hair frizzy and burns on her. In shock Lisa doesn't know she is screaming then Stefan slaps her and now she is in reality. Susannes parent sadly didn't make it.






    1. In chapter eight, what was Susanne’s motivation for helping with the resistance bombing? (1)

    Susanne’s motivation for helping with the resistance bombing was her parents. She is motivated because how her parents died and how the Germans did the murder.




    1. After they set the factory bomb, Lisa says the following:
    “A chill runs down my spine. My God, I think, these Germans are dragging us all down to their level. How will we keep ourselves better than them?” (p. 46)
    In your own words tell what does Lisa mean by this and what is she concerned about? (4)

    I think Lisa means the Danish people are doing the exact same thing as the Germans. What I mean by that is killing German soldiers or even innocent people. I think maybe the Germans want this. When she says the “Germans are dragging us all down to  their level means”  i think that means they both are killing with dangerous weapons r even bombing.
