Summary and Reading Strategy#7

The book I'm reading is little lighting its about these little noms that come to life and they think the humans are a threat to there people. Marry and Isabel are the main characters in the story Marry is the one that find them but does not give there secret away Isabel does not know about he noms that are a life. The noms had powers when they were struck by a lighting and they have lighting powers to burn down stuff. They burned down Isabel's horse house because they thought Marry told her about them being alive Isabel's horse was full of fear you can see it in his eyes. I know thus because it says in the book on page 20 paragraph 2 last sentence that, "Red Delicious was snorting and bucking and his eyes full of fear." This clearly states that the noms did it because there was not lighting storm and rain from the sky.

I had a connection with story because one day I saw a house burned down in Chicago they had gas in the house and the stove was left on and I hear a big boom and ran outside and the house on fire. The whole family got out except for the dog he was trapped in the room because they closed the door and they were all crying. I tread up a little because it was a horrible thing to watch a house getting burned because of a stove being left on. I wanted to let them stay at my house but my mom said "No" because we do not know them. I feel the same way as they did because I would lose everything my PS3, bed, room, pictures and other valuables.

Summary and Reading Strategy#6

The whole book was amazing like you would want to read it it would take you to the place you have never been be for the camps. The book would give you chills and goosebumps it sad at he same time Jack gets split up with his family through the whole book. But, Jack manages to stay alive without them he thinks to him self "Are my parents still alive?" He would do anything to get his reunited with his family again and stay safe like before. He would obey Hitlers commands and the guards as well because he doe not want to die. You would just have to find out what happens in the book your self. 

My reflection on "Boy in a Death Camp" its really sad, and tells you a lot about what happened back in the past when Hitler was at power. Jack makes it through everything thin and thick he follows the rules and does his work when he is asked. I would recommend this book to other because the book would teach them about how it felt in the camps I know this because it states in the book clearly, "Its dark, gloomy and it really hot because of the sun its right in the middle of the sky." Many other would like to read this book I enjoyed it and so will you. You can read it at Goodreads.com

Summary and Reading Strategy#5

Jack was sent far away from his family and he wished that he would see them one last time. They

would get up and would work and work until they get blisters some would pop and salty water would come out. They would have to put there uniform on every morning at 5 am he was tired like his arms were sore of working. They would build barracks for other jews or if they do not fit they would make more. They would work at sunrise until sunset they need to work for 8 hours a day and finish before sunset.

My character traits for Jack are brave, and strong through the horrible times he was split up with his family. He is kind because he never gave anyone a hard time he did all the rules they gave him and everything really good. I know this because it clearly states in the book " Jack will do anything to protect his family no matter what." Another reason is because "Even if all of family dies I will be the one who will live." This proves that he is brave, kind and courages he would do anything to keep his family safe.

Reading Strategy:

My connection with this book is the the slavery and at the time when Martin Luther King Jr he fought against segregation for the people. We learned this in the second quarter we read a book it was called "Rolling Thunder Hear My Cry." It also involves the KKK, this group is a white people who hate the blacks and they would do anything to get rid like in the Boy in The Death Camps my book. Hitler wants to get rid of all the Jews.

They squeezed into there dads uncles family they had five children and three more came a long and those are Jack her two sisters and his mother. They ate a few things the uncle would keep the food under lock and key so the two kids would go to a farmer gave them buttermilk and some bread. When it was time for dinner they had there portion and if they were still hungry they had to go to bed with  and empty stomach. But, after all of that the Nazis came and inspected the house and found them in the dining room, thats where they took him and kept Jack.

Reading Strategy:
Jack made good friends in the camps and they also gave him some good advice. They helped him stay alive they don't treat him bad they treat him like family. They took his mom to a different camp far away from him he was in tears most of the time while in the camp. He only worked and work and work and cried most the time in there. They fed him every day but not a meal that he would like to eat, they gave him horrible food just so he would eat it or would not. The Nazis did not want the Jews to stay alive so they feed them that.

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

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.
