Discussion Director

Hello everyone, today I'm going to be a Discussion Director. This time we had to read from chapter 15 to chapter 30. These are the questions that I thought of while reading: 

1. What was going through your mind when you read the part of the book where the Jews and Gypsies were moving to the ghetto? Do you agree with the Nazi's choice or not?

- Ewa: No I do not agree with their decision. because a) just because a person is different religion/culture doesn't mean they have to live in worse conditions than yo and b) the war shouldn't have even started in the first place. The thoughts that were going through my head were all mixed up. I felt sorry for the Jews and gypsies and found it horrible that the Nazi's are forcing them to live this way. 
- Jana: My thoughts were very similar to Ewa's. I felt bad and wish I could change the way they were treated. I do not by any circumstance agree with the Nazi's way of life. 

2. What are your thoughts on their way of describing the angel?

- Ashley: I think they are very naive and try hard to understand what they've never learned about and I think Janina needs someone to blame for all the unhappiness because she's little and can't understand why the angel hasn't really done anything to help her and her family and that's what upsets her. 

3. Why do you think Misha was so reluctant to have Janina follow along? Why was Janina insisting that she goes with him?

-Ashley: Misha was like Janina's older brother and he wanted to protect her. Her father even ordered that Janina stays in the closet they were staying at and doesn't follow Misha into danger. Janina found it entertaining to stay by Misha's side and go on these "secret missions" since she was the only one besides Misha who could fit through the gap in the wall. 

4. What event from the part we were supposed to read did you find most entertaining?
-Jana: I most definitely found the part were they were discussing angels most entertaining because it seemed so foreign to them and they were curious about it. Misha even tried his best to explain to Janina that an angel never dies.
