 * Irony**: The use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning


 * Metaphor**: a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance


 * Stereotype**: a simplified and standardized conception or image invested with special meaning and held in common by members of a group


 * Allusion**: a passing or casual reference; an incidental mention of something, either directly or by implication


 * Personification**: the attribution of a personal nature or character to inanimate objects or abstract notions, esp. as a rhetorical figure.


 * symbolism:** the practice of representing things by symbols, or of investing things with a symbolic meaning or character.

1. "Dirty Swine!" a guard shouted when one of the girls tripped and fell. This is a metaphor because a guard called a GIRL a SWINE. 2. "May I help you with your load, little sister?" This is a metaphor because a soldier asks Eva this and calls her sister although they are not brother and sister.
 * Metaphor**

1. It is a stereotype that Jews are terrible people that do not deserve to live anymore. 2. It is a stereotype that all the Nazis were cruel to Jews. There is an example of this being wrong in Herr Schmidt and also in the soldier who tended to Eva's hand.
 * Stereotype**

1. It is ironic that they are rescued right after a girl who is banging on the door for the guards to let them out says, "Listen to her! She's made a great discovery: the Germans are going to kill us. It is ironic because they did not get killed. 2. It is ironic that Bella, a Jew, will hand over a fellow Jew to the Nazis, but Herr Schmidt, a Catholic "Nazi", risks his life to keep them safe.
 * Irony**

1. The prisoners are given numbers to represent their names. This is symbolism because the numbers symbolize their names. 2. Eva will not eat the soup because it has pork in it. She is Jewish so she will not eat pork. This symbolizes her devotion to her religion.
 * Symbolism**

 * __Internal conflicts__**
 * Eva isn't sure if she should tell Rachel what she heard about Bedzin or not because she does not want to make her sicker.

 * Pippi-Very nice. You hit on some main conflicts for both characters, and you wrote them up nicely in paragraph form.

= A ssignment #3= The purpose of indoctrination of children was to instill in them the views of the Nazi's. The teachers in their schools were inspected by Nazi officers to make sure that they would be teaching the children what they thought was right. If the teacher did not seem trustworthy they were immediately sacked. This fit into Hitler's plan for a perfect world by getting rid of Jews and putting Hitler's vision into the minds of children so that they would carry out what he started. Mrs. M 5/12/10**
 * Exactly. The younger the children, the easier it was to brainwash them. They knew no other way of life so they were loyal to Hitler and his beliefs.

= A ssignment #4=
 * __Bandwagon-__** A trend at the time.


 * __Scapegoat-__** A person or thing carrying the blame for others.

Bandwagon is a part of book because people are joining in on showing hate for Jews.

Scapegoat is a part of the book because Hitler blamed all of their trouble on Jews. The Jews were scapegoats. Mrs. M 5/12/10**
 * Good.
