(16/1)ģ) Build- When Aunt Selena started to break the china and vases and rip the pillows, her sister Laura (Elli’s mom) tried to calm her down. When Elli’s dad called her “Ellike”, it reminded me of when Anne Frank’s father called her similar nicknames like it in The Diary Of Anne Frank, the play. Mayoġ) Question- At the part of the book when Elli’s dad had to leave the ghetto with the other men, why didn’t her mother wake her like she asked? Did she think it would be to hard on Elli to have to say goodbye to her dad? (55/4)Ģ) Connect- I had a text to text connection during Section 1. Now it’s just the fact of keeping the poems hidden from everyone. This is because just as Elli was about to hand over her families records, birth certificates etc. Fortunately one of Elli’s most valued papers survived the fire. be taken by Hungarian soldiers and burned. Throughout this chapter Ellike and other Jews watched as their beloved books, bibles, pictures etc. Summarize- Chapter nine was a devastating passage.

Use Fix-Up Techniques- on page 13 in paragraph 4, when the author wrote “My poems open the world’s heart to me, and I LOLL in the world’s embrace.” I was wondering what LOLL meant ,so I looked it up and came up with this-to recline or lean in a relaxed, lazy, or indolent manner lounge.

Visualize- On page 9 in paragraph 3-middle- I am able to visualize “Young children from the local school planted trees, danced and sang, and the Pastor of the local church blessed the monument.” I was also able to picture the fear and the Joy in the eighteen people’s eyes, including Ellike that survived the Holocaust.He is a liar because right after that everything the Jews handed over was burned. I say this because when he has finally convinced the poor women that she may not take her baby picture or anything else with her he promises to her that she will get it all back. sounds like he is crabby, serious, and is fine with the way the Jews are being treated. Judge/Evaluate- On page 56-57 and throughout all the paragraphs, the Hungarian soldier that is taking away all of the Jews Papers, Pictures, Bibles etc.

Connect- On page 11 in paragraph 4, the author states that “Only one who was there can truly tell the tale.” I am able to connect to this sentence because my character that I must act out for the honors history simulation-Betty Blue- says something like that to the judges about slavery.

Question- On page 31 in paragraphs 3-4, why is Elli so down about wearing the Star of David when she is a Jew, and comes from a family that is very strict within their Jewish religion?.
