The Boy Who Dared
pg. 31-60
30 minutes
For some reason, Helmuth is considering going against the laws that are in place in Germany. I would be as stupid as to pretty much TRY to get killed-not my idea of fun. I think it's weird how whenever Helmuth has a question, he wakes up in the middle of the night and asks Gerhard. I don't know if the author is trying to create some kind of special bond between them (because they're arguing the rest of the book so far), but she definitely needs a new strategy. I also don't like how Hugo (guy that Helmuth's mom is engaged to) always is now butting in to everyday life when earlier, he wasn't mentioned at all. Hitler also seems to be getting into the school systems because now Helmuth's teacher is a Nazi and he won't accept anything but Nazi ideas. Helmuth asked a question about something that was being taught, and it ever so slightly opposed the lesson, so homework for the whole class was assigned. The homework, of course, is an essay on "How Hitler Has Made Germany Great". Definitely a school I wouldn't want to be in.
