Summary and Reading Strategy #2

Summary:
Jacks father sent him and his family to somewhere out of the country. Jacks father settled them into a first class compartment on the train Jack, Mama and his siblings only carried on suitcase. Mamma would carry one full basket of foods, fruits for the 12 hour drive/trip.  Jacks father will send money, clothing and necessary things they might need. Jacks father will see them all in one month he kissed them all on the cheek and then the engine started the train was leaving.

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.
