The book is a getting a lot better. It's more exciting. But there are a lot of weird parts. Like when everybody was naked. That would be really awkward.

Liam said...

This book is getting really intresting now. I guess i would say i like it. The reason i think it is interesting is because of the concentration camp. The author makes it so i can see what happend. That is what i think about the book so far.

Kate M. said...

Yeah, that part was really weird. I don't blame them for screaming at the Nazis. How would you react if that happened to you??? I would scream and hide somewhere.

EvAn said...

Yeah. I feel like i'm starting to actually learn stuff about WWII and the concentration camps

Liam said...

I would escape right when i get there. It might be hard but i could do it.

Kate M. said...

Yeah, it feels a lot like Im in the storie and one of the characters at the consentration camp.

EvAn said...

Yeah right Liam.

Kate M. said...

If you tryed escaping, they would probably catch you and kill you!!!

liam said...

I think that they should have tried to escape right when they got to the camp.

Kate M. said...

Where's MMegan? I saw her in class.

Evan said...

You would get put in the oven Liam.

Kate M. said...

Whups, I mean Megan. But still Liam, they would probably catch ya.

Kate M. said...

An oven???? For what, to feed the others..

Evan said...

The gas oven. The one they put the Jews in to kill them.

Megan said...

This book is so exciting! I didn't know what it would be like, but it is a really good book afterall! I am sorry I took so long, my computer is slow. Anyway, what do you think of Rivka? I think she's nice. To have a person like that around would make it better for me.

Kate M. said...

Oh, I saw her. So, any way, I don't think any one could escape the consentration camp.

liam said...

What seemed intresting to you guys in these chapters.

Evan said...

Some people have before. But very few.

Evan said...

I don't really know.

Megan said...

Everything seemed interesting to me! It makes you feel like you're there...

Kate M. said...

Ohhhhh ya, the gas oven. Sorry............
I think Rivka is so nice. She sounds really helpful to the others.

liam said...

That is kind of how i feel megan.

Megan said...

Yeah. She tried to help and explain things. If I didn't have her, I would have no idea what to expect!!

Liam said...

I agree with you megan.

Kate M. said...

Yeah I liked most of the parts too. It's hard to decide...

Megan said...

I am almost finished with the book, what do you think will happen next?

Kate M. said...

So, I think Hannah is really brave to do all those things. It would be hard for me.

liam said...

I think hannah will die at the end.

Megan said...

I'm not actually that sure on what might happen. It is so mysterious... I wonder is she'll ever get back to present time.

liam said...

I think she dies at the end.

Kate M. said...

Well, I know what's going to happen to Hannah since you guys spilled it.....

Megan said...

Positive thinking Liam! I guess that's a possibility though. I mean it's a concentration camp afterall.

Kate M. said...

Yeah, she could get killed, die from the camp and lack of food and water..... I wonder if there's a "The Devils Arithmatic 2"

Evan said...

I don't know.

Megan said...

That would be great if there was. It is such a good book!
