Internal conflict is a conflict which takes place in the character's own mind and is usually a struggle or problem. One example of this kind of conflict is then Liesel has horrible nightmares about her dead brother. This happens almost every night. In her bedroom every night, Liesel always wakes up crying and yelling, because she sees her brother the dream she was having. Liesel's father, **(is Hans her father)?** is always there to calm her down. After all of the crying, Liesel and her father read books, and then fall back asleep. Another example of this conflict, is when she struggles to say thank you to the mayors wife. After being let into their house, and explore there amazing library, Liesel just leaves without thanking the wife for letting Liesel take so many books from her. Liesel is mad at herself about this and after a short time, she returns to the house and thanks the mayor's wife. And lastly, when Liesel and Rudy choose to race down a muddy and wet track for a small bet. If Leisel won, she would not have to play goalie in soccer, but if she lost, she would have to kiss Rudy. After the race, they are both swamped with mud and Liesel worries about her mother (**stepmother)** beating her with a spoon.======

Good job on the first part of this assignment. Unfortunately, there was more to the assignment. You missed an entire section. Mrs. M =====

In the Hitler Youth, instruction was to produce race-conscious, obedient, self-sacrificing Germans who would be willing to die for Führer and the country. German teenagers swore allegiance to Hitler and pledged to serve the nation and its leader as future soldiers.They were first put in the program at age ten and eventually, most were sent to war or put in jobs that produced machinery for the German war effort. Hitler was also trying to get as many people as he could to swear their lives to him and his strategy was to start at a young age so they were allegiant to him for almost their whole lives so he could make his "perfect world".

GOOD JOB! MRS. M 5/15 __**Individual Assignment #4**__

__Bandwagon__- The bandwagon effect is that people often do and believe things merely because many other people do and believe the same things. This term relates to The Book Thief because many people are following Hitler because he has power and they are afraid of him. They also don't want to be disliked by their neighbors and family and friends. Mr. Hubbermann has a conflict with his son because he and his son have different views on the war. His son follows Hitler and he doesn't.

__Scapegoat__- A scapegoat is a person or group of people that are blamed for something that has happened. This term relates to The Book Thief because the Nazis use the Jews as their scapegoat and blame them for all of the problems that Germany had at that time. They set up extermination camps to try to get rid of all of the Jews. This is called genocide. EXCELLENT DEFINITIONS AND EXAMPLES TO SUPPORT THEM. MRS. M 5/15
