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.
I used these examples because I thought they were good and they answered the question.
 * alllusion- When the girls were not getting fed they became very sick and had illusions where they saw things that were not there in reality.
 * irony- Eva used a lot of irony throughout the story because she was a very sarcastic person. When she found out her friend was going to die she she would always be sarcastic and make hr friend laugh.
 * metaphor- An example of a metaphor in the book was..."that she was marching along on unbending blocks of ice". This was being compared to when she was walking to work and she was in a snow storm.
 * symbolism- Symbolism is kind of like a metaphor because "that she was marching along on unbending blocks of ice" could be an example of symbolism.

He would fill their minds with things to make them believe and they would all worship Hitler. They taught the people there bad things against the Jewish people and African Americans. They would fill the people's minds with terrible things. Hitler would have all ages learn to become Nazis so when they became older they could fight and he had many many people to help hi rule the world. EXACTLY - LOTS OF BRAINWASHING GOING ON. THE YOUNGER YOU ARE ABLE TO GET CHILDREN, THE EASIER IT IS TO MAKE THEM BELIEVE WHAT YOU TELL THEM. THEY TREATED HITLER LIKE THEIR GOD.
