Reader's Response 1 (school week of 3/28-4/1)
The Boy Who Dared
pg.1-30
30 minutes read
This is kind of an introductory part of the book. It explains what's going on and talks about the characters. Helmuth is around 8 years old right now and Hitler is running for chancellor. Then, there's a flash-forward to Helmuth in death row at a prison (the reason why is yet to be known), and back again. It then talks about when it was announced that Hitler had been elected, etc. Helmuth's mom and especially his grandparents are critical of Hitler, but he likes Hitler's policies. Helmuth is young (I guess, but he is almost our age), so I don't blame him. However, I'm pretty sure anyone these days (with so much information hanging around), nobody would be voting for him.
