Due date: Friday, March 9

1. Major Characters Minor Characters
 * Corrie
 * Betsie
 * Pickwick
 * Nollie
 * Willem
 * The father
 * Christoffels

The minor characters affect the main character because, with the father being a minor character, he has a lot of effect on everyone else in the story. Also because father supports everyone and he is there to help them out when they need someone to be there.

2. I disagree when father hired Otto. I disagree with this decision because he barely knew him before he hired him. Also I feel like he should have taken more time to know what kind of person he really was before hiring him to work with him. I think father was too in need of another worker so he hired what he thought was the best one even though he turned out not to be.

3. This story changes my thinking of the Holocaust because through reading this book I can go step by step in persons life who actually experienced this horrific time. Before reading part of this book I never knew how quickly one's life could change. It made me realize even more that one minute you could be happy and the next you will be thinking about whether you are going to survive or not.

You really learn to cherish time especially, like you said, realizing how quickly things can change.
