t English ISU Prologue Milkweed: Newbery Medal-winning author Jerry Spinelli (Maniac McGee, Stargirl) paints a vivid picture of the streets of the Nazi-occupied Warsaw during World War II, as seen through the eyes of a curious, kind, heartbreakingly naïve orphan with many names. His name is Stopthief when people shout "Stop! Thief!" as he flees with stolen bread. Or it's Jew, "filthy son of Abraham," depending on who's talking to him.
The jewish man pretended to be a Nazi slave and said he was taking orders from an officer to clear the streets, even though he lied, it saved him from being shot, or taken away to a Labor Camp because he was scared. He had made a very smart decision. Another example of this was when all the jews were being split up into lines. The Nazis knew the good lines and the bad lines. One of the younger Nazi soliders helping the jews, would put them in the good lines.
Rumkowski’s plan was cut short after the Germans slowly decreased the deliveries of food into the ghetto, attempting to make it easier on the Nazis. Rumkowski delivered an infamous speech to the Jews of Lodz, known as the “Give Me Your Children” speech. This speech pleaded with parents to give up their children in order to save others that were more capable of working. People cried out from the audience, refusing to let their children be sent away. In 1944, the Germans ordered Rumkowski to announce that Germany was in need of workers to repair damage.
Mrs. Milgrom and Shepsel, Janina’s uncle hate Misha because he came from the streets. Mr. Milgrom gladly accepts Misha as part of their family. When food began to get harder and harder to find, Misha found a way to the city. He could squeeze through a drainage pipe in the giant wall. During the nights, he would leave the ghetto and steal food for his family.
Hannah begs you to keep this confidential and not tell anyone especially her daughter, who she sees regularly, as her daughter will be very angry. Bi) How would you explain the term ‘confidentiality’ to Hannah? I would explain to Hannah that I do respect her wish to keep this information ‘confidential’, however due to the nature of the information she has divulged, I would have to inform management as she is putting herself at risk by throwing her medication away. This is not following her careplans and the medication has been prescribed to her for a reason and due to her regularly becoming ‘confused’ we cannot be sure that she is fully aware on what the medication is for. I would explain that we can keep certain things confidential such as opinions and beliefs but if information effects their received care or personal wellbeing/health then I have a duty of care to act upon this but only on a ‘needs to know’ basis.
She was living in Bielitz, Poland, where she was born, and she reacts with terror as she watches her neighbors meet the invading Nazis with happiness. They were trying to hide the fact of war from Gerda’s father because he was sick and they didn’t want to worry him. When their town was invaded they couldn’t keep it a secret from him any more. Bad things started happening to the Jews, and the Nazis were taking Jewish men. In October, Gerda’s brother Arthur, was forced to leave with a Nazi and all of the other young men in town.
We put mattresses, clothing, food, dishes, pictures, books, valuables---whatever we thought was most important---on the wagon...My father did not even lock the door behind us. He knew that our non-Jewish neighbors would loot everything” (Singer, 17). Rather than “relocating” the Jewish families, the Nazis had a different plan that they were unaware of. After four days of traveling in an overcrowded train, the SS transported the Jews to Auschwitz; they were forced to leave their luggage aside of the train. They immediately were separated into two groups: boys on one side, girls on the other.
In some cities they had to actually post arm guards on garbage trucks, people were scavenging for food, people would swamp the garbage truck when they would dump the garbage at the dumps. Production was down particularly of wheat, but there was enough out there but the only problem is transportation and storage system. They were dumping milk in the street as a protest, we didn’t have the system to transport milk from for example Wisconsin to Boston, it couldn’t be done so there are people that are starving in Boston because you couldn’t get the food to them. This is really a crisis and the country knows, Roosevelt knows, if you don’t fix this soon the public will put in dictatorship either on the right or the left. Dictators are very efficient they get things done on time.
Animal imagery was evident in both Of Mice and Men and “To a Mouse” by relating Lennie to the Mouse. Identification of humans with the animals was also reflected in both pieces of literature by dreams being shattered due to circumstances and the suffrage of men and animal was caused by society. Having seen how the title Of Mice and Men was borrowed from the poem “To a Mouse” Steinbeck skillfully used the characters to paint the connection between men and animal. He used metaphors to describe the characters. Steinbeck’s decision to compare Lennie to being the mouse gives the readers a more clear idea of how both men and animal are
Once they arrived to the mass graves they were required to strip down your clothes. As this took place people would trip over their feet and throw personally items that were valuable into rivers, long bushes anything so the German soldiers couldn’t have them. To me personally I think this is the most respectful thing they did the Germans had already took too much from them their homes, loved ones and now their lives it serves the Jews right to toss their things. After everyone was shot into the pit the police would collect the clothes they wanted or the jewelry they liked. The rest of the items were sold to the citizens around town.
