**3. Choose four of the literary terms. Find two examples of each and write them on your WIKI page. Explain how or why your examples fit the category chosen.**
1. irony - the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

** 6. symbolism-the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. **
Irony: 1. Sadly, Henry noted the irony that his quest to find and help Pierre, the child warrior of the Resistance, would end in a city that had been a center of maquis uprising and a Gestapo stronghold to squish it. This means that Henry thought he could just come right into Europe and find Pierre and get out.

Metaphor:1. "You cal them 'white lies' do you not." Then Madame said "I have never understood the metaphors of English." This means that white lies are lies that aren't as bad as dark lies.

Stereotype:1. Le Patron attacked Henry because he was American, and because he thought he was the Gestapo.

** 2. On the train everyone looked at a lady coming on to the train because she had a turban on her head which meant she had a romance with a German Solider. **Good!
2. Francois gave a delicate scarf of Madame's to Henry as a sign of love for him. It was for his mother.
 * Symbolism:1. The civilians and family members held lilacs and lipsticks and face powder for the people who were coming back from the camps. This meant that they cared for the people who were arriving back and celebrated with them.

**Good! Riley - you've got the stereotypes and the symbolism. More work is needed on the metaphors and the irony. Mrs. M 5.5.10 YOU'VE MADE SOME CHANGES - GOOD. NOW, THE ASSIGNMENT ASKS FOR TWO EXAMPLES OF EACH SELECTED TERM. HAVE YOU GIVEN TWO EXAMPLES??? A LITTLE MORE WORK TO DO! : < ) MRS. M 5/15

=Individual Assignment #2=

2. Choose a major character. 3. List three examples of internal and external conflict for that character. 4. Write two paragraphs - one for each kind of conflict - and elaborate on the conflicts. (What happens in the story to create the conflicts, where and when do the conflicts occur, do the conflicts get resolved, if so, how? etc.) 5. Choose a minor character. 6. Repeat steps #3 and #4 for the minor character. 7. Due date: Wednesday, May 5 8. Put assignment on your individual WIKI page. Label it Assignment #2. Assignment #2 An internal conflict is when one is confronted with a problem with himself. An external conflict is a conflict outside a person's control.
 * 1. Define internal conflict and external conflict.

Three examples of internal conflicts in Henry's life are Henry wanting to see if Pierre is alive by going back to Europe, Henry deciding if he will give up and go back to the U.S. after not finding Pierre right away, and Henry's decision to take the job from Thurman in order to stay in Europe.

Henry goes to Europe and finds Pierre after a long and tiresome journey. Henry knew that his journey to Europe to find Pierre would not be easy. He motivated himself and finally found Pierre. When Thurman gave Henry this opportunity to stay in Europe, Henry did not pass up on the deal. Henry never even saw Thurman again after that.

Three examples of external conflicts in Henry's life are Henry wanting to marry Patsy, but she doesn't feel the same, the Germans coming after other countries with Henry involved in the war, and the police officers decision to take Henry off the train and arresting him for being accused of stealing the cigarettes and ration card.

When Henry asked Patsy to marry him, she said no. She needed time to think about it. When Henry came back from Europe with Pierre, he realized how she was feeling. They never got married in the end of the book. Henry and the allied powers eventually defeated the axis powers. After a long fought battle the French, Brits, and Americans came out victorious. Henry met with another man who was from the United States. The man left him off clean under one circumstance. He had to do a little reporting on life in France.

Three examples of internal conflicts in Lilly, Henry's mom, life are when she can't help Henry with his problems, she doesn't sleep good/ well because of Henry's nightmares, and she is having a tough time with holding her family together with her son always leaving.

Henry goes to Europe to find Pierre. When Henry finds Pierre and brings him home, Henry sleeps fine every night from there on, and Patsy doesn't have to wake up every night to comfort him. When Henry comes home from Europe, his dad had a present for him. His dad had fixed the aircraft that Henry had crashed once. The family holds together after all.

Three examples of external conflicts in Lilly's life are when she can't stop Henry from going back to Europe for the second time, she can't stop Henry from getting nightmares every night about war, and she can't help but watch Henry suffer about his difficulties in life.

YOU'VE GOT THE EXAMPLES. READ THE DIRECTIONS AGAIN - ESPECIALLY #4 AND #6. MRS. M 5/15 **

=**Individual Assignment #3**= **1. Research how young people were indoctrinated into Nazism. What was the purpose of such organizations? 2. How did these organizations fit into Hitler's plan of a perfect world? 3. Write your answers in paragraph form. 4. Due date: Friday, May 7 5. Put assignment on your individual WIKI page. Label it Assignment #3.** Children/young people at went to school, but instead of going to normal school they went to learn about Nazi curriculum. They understood that they would have to give their lives, if necessary. Hitler needed as many soldiers as he could get. So he needed to get all citizens in Germany to get ready for their new life. They had to learn all about Nazism. They had to be ready. If soldiers were running low for Hitler, he would pick teens to fight for him. Hitler and Germany would not give up easy and not without a fight. Eventually Hitler did not get what he wished for. Even though things looked like they were going good/**well**, things changed quickly in a bad way for Germany. Children were needed to be trained incase of a need of soldiers. Hitler's plan was to wipe out all jews living and to create a perfect race. Hitler wanted to brain wash citizens, mainly children, into nazism. This probably would have worked if Hitler and the Nazis didn't get defeated in war.

RILEY - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THIS. MRS. M 5/15

=Individual Assignment #4= 2. Due Date: Tuesday, May 11 3. Put assignment on your individual WIKI page. Label it Assignment #4. Assignment #4 Bandwagon- a party, cause, movement, etc., that by its mass appeal or strength readily attracts many followers. Bandwagon relates to my story because the Nazi made/influenced people to dislike the Jewish. If people were caught helping the Jews, (Madame) they would be sent to prison. If the Nazis had a witness, the person, who helped the Jews, would be sentenced to death. GREAT ANSWER!
 * 1. Define the terms 'bandwagon' and 'scapegoat'. How do those two terms relate to your novel? Explain.

Scapegoat-a person who is accused of wrongdoings, mistakes, etc. Scapegoat relates to my story because many Americans (Henry) and other people from other countries helped out the Jews. They took Jews into their house or fed them. If you were caught doing this you would be the 'scapegoat' and would be punished for it. TRUE. THE JEWS WERE ALSO SCAPEGOATS BECAUSE HITLER BLAMED ALL OF THE EVIL GOING ON IN GERMANY ON THE JEWS. IF HE GOT RID OF 'THE PROBLEM', THE PERFECT RACE/COUNTRY COULD TAKE OVER. MRS. M 5/15 **
