Chapters 1-4 were pretty good. I though that the book wouldn’t interest me at all, but it has started to interest me form chapters 3 and 4.
In chapters 1-4 alot of things happened. Let me sum it up for you.
It starts off introducing one of the main characters, Laurie Saunders. It says that she likes to chew on the ends of Bic pens. She doesn’t smoke, instead she chews on the ends of Bic pens, she also works on the school news paper. She has worked for the school news paper for 3 years now. Laurie has a friend named Amy, they both get really good grades in school. In Ben Ross’s history class they were the only two people who got A’s on the paper.
Ben thought about homework now, he thought that kids couldn’t be bothered to do their homework. He asked a 9th grader one time, and he said social life is more important than home work.
A boy named Robert came into the classroom after almost every came in, he never brushed his hair, was a chubby boy, and had shirttails. He was often bullied by a student named Brad.
They watched a little movie on Hitler, Robert, slept threw the whole movie. While every body else was watching it. After the movie ended every one looked shocked. They saw about the concentration camps, and torture. They all couldn’t belive that a person could kill all of those people.
After that it was lunch period and David, who was Laurie’s boyfriends scarfed down his lunch and most of Laurie’s aswell. Laurie and Amy went to the Grapevine office, that was the school news paper name. Amy lit up a smoke and sat by the window so all the smoke would go out, and if someone came in she could drop out the window. Two practical jokers came by and said they were the Principal and Amy dropped her smoke and looked for a stick of gum or a mint. They came in and Amy yelled at them and said that they made her waste a perfectly good smoke.
Ben went to the library and got a bunch of books on Nazi’s and Hitler, he went home with them and his wife cam home at 11 0′clock pm. She told him that she won a game against someone that she couldn’t beat in tennis today, he really didn’t care. He was to busy in his books. She gave him a kiss on the forehead and went to bed, and told him to get some rest.
My favourite part in these four chapters would have to be the part where the class is watching that film on the concentration camps. It’s not my favourite part because I agreed with what Adolf did, but because the author described the camps with such amazing detail. It made me feel like I was there, watching all of this happening. The first time I had read this part it kind of made me want to throw up, because of all the horrific details that the author put in it. It also made me want to just shut the book and put it down, and never read it again. I couldn’t do that though. That part made me feel angry at the Nazi’s and Hitler. it also made me feel sad because 10 million, with an M, people were killed. One man, killed 10 million people, 6 or so million of them were Jewish. Almost wiping out the Jewish religion from Europe. Hitler himself was part Jewish, he hated Jewish people. He thought that the Jewish people were the destruction of the country. If he hated Jewish people so much why didn’t he just kill himself? Eventually he did, after the war was one he was in a bunker, he OD on some drugs. (OD means over dosed).
A part that surprised me was when after they had watched that film, one of the boys was still hungry! I read this before lunch time too, when I got home I really didn’t eat anything. I felt so sick from jus reading about it, adn they had to watch it. The boy ate 2 plates of food from the cafiteria. He ate his and his girl friend’s, which was alot of food. If I was him, and I ate that much food. I would probably throw up after watching that film. I’m not kidding, I have a strong stomache also.
