Milkweed -Spinelli (Illustrator_Claire)

For this Literature Circle meeting, our group read the first 70 pages of Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli. I had decided to be the illustrator, so I made a drawing of a soldier asking "Are you a Jew?" and Misha Pilsudski, the protagonist of this book, answering that he is a Gypsy. I drew shadows beside the Jackboot soldier to emphasize the darkness of war, and I tried drawing Misha appear innocent.

Ana thought the soldier appeared evil and I characterized it well. Arabela thought that the drawing symbolized the fear of Misha against the Jackboots.
Nina thought that the sketch represented eye contact and hatred.
