Reading Strategy:
One connection I have with this story is that we went to the Holocaust Museum. We learned it for like 3 weeks we read articles on it, books. One of the books we read was "Number The Stars" it was a really good book. And also with slavery, the whites would make the black pick there cotton and other farming jobs. They would be paid in clothes or food but no money the blacks were not educated and did not know what was happening.

Summary of my book and reading strategy

Summary:

My book is about a boy named Jack and he was a survivor in the holocaust. It took place in Gdynia, Poland a population of 250,000, 90% was Catholic and 10% was Jewish. After the fled Poland they were taken back Germany after that, they rounded Jacks family up. He was only 15 years old and he was torn away from his family and thrown in a concentration camp. Jack plays by the game and trying to survive, all he wants is to see his family one more time. 

Reading Strategy: 

The conflict of this book is that a normal kid named Jack he was torn away from his parents when he was only 14. They took him in a death camp he was in there for over a year he celebrated his birthday in these terrible death camps. But the good thing is that he surrvied for year because, he followed the rules and jobs they gave him. He never disobeyed his leader because he knew what would happened because he saw people go in and get killed.
