Reading Journal Week 7 - Asking And Wondering - 2015

I am doing a Asking and Wondering reading post.

The Boy Who Dared

By Susan Campbell Bartoletti

Asking and Wondering

• Why did they start to kill the Jews?
• 
  
• Why did Helmuth's mom date a Nazi solider?
• 
  
• How old was Helmuth when he died?
• 
  
• Why did the Nazi forbid the Germans to listen to the radio?
• 
  
• Why did Helmuth want to join the Hitler Youth so badly?

Answering

• The Nazi started to kill the Jews because they thought that the Jews were a threat. Just because one of the Jews killed one of the Nazi's one time doesn't mean they are a threat. 
• 
  
• I don't know why she would date a Nazi solider. If you knew these things were happening why would you. I didn't feel like they loved each other. I felt like she just married him for money. Plus Hugo was kind of mean to Helmuth and his brothers. I felt like he was trying to boss them around to get them to do whatever he wanted.
• 
  
• I am not sure how old he was but I think he was around 26.
• 
  
• The Nazi were afraid that the lies and the broadcasting could harm the German War effort. 
• I think he wanted to join because his brothers were in it. They also cut out boy scoots so he couldn't do that anymore.
