Book Reviews

Mechi Quiroga Striglio

The book is about a boy, David, who escapes from a Concentration Camp in Germany, where he has lived all his life, and has to travel through the post-war Europe in search for a person, who is in Denmark. In his way, he discovers a lot of new stuff, things he did not see living in the Camp. I liked the book setting, and the part where David learns in Switzerland the story of his mother. But the end seems really rushed, for me it ruined the book.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure books, or WW2 books, with an emotional touch.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR STUDENTS

Welcome to our blog! Here we will keep in touch during the whole school year and share our activities.

Instructions:
For each reading assignment I would like you to post something to this blog about the reading. Among the things you may want to comment on are:

1- Things that have happened in the story at this point and their significance to the overall story.

2- Characters (their actions, motivations,what they say, how they affect other characters, etc.)

3- Quotes from the reading, especially if they are significant in developing the many themes in the novel.

4- Questions that you have about what you've read (including things you don't understand)

Make sure that you put your name at the beginning of each entry you make so that we know who you are as we read the blog.I hope to make this blog a major part of our class discussion over the daily reading, but how effective that is depends entirely on what you contribute.
Remember, you need to post something for each reading assignment, and it must be posted before you come to class. I will leave the length up to you, but what you write should be long enough to meaningfully contribute to our discussion. I will discuss with you a fair way to give credit for these blog postings.
