Milkweed 2nd (last) rotation - Seungjun Lee

6/2/2014
Last rotation for Milkweed
Job: Summarizer

I was summarizer for this rotation.
I summarized the beginning, middle, end. I couldn't summarize chapter by chapter since the book has 45 chapters.

Summary of MILKWEED
Beginning – There are in Ghetto the orphan boys gives Jon’s shoes to Big Henryk. Wired cart takes the body of Jon. Weather changes from winter to spring.

Middle – Misha and Janina begin stealing food again. The snow comes to the Warsaw ghetto. Misha is surprised to find Uncle Shepsel is outside. Uncle Shepsel asks Misha why he returns from Warsaw each night. Uri comes to the ghetto to warn Misha and the boys about the trains that are arriving.

End – Jack is living with his daughter and granddaughter who easily let him settle into their fun and loving world. He is in heaven in this family, reminded of the pain of his past family, but able to enjoy pleasure of his present. He is able to give his granddaughter the middle name Janina, though he never tells another soul about his sister. The pain is too much.
