Milkweed

Stephanie Flores Per 2 silkweed Book story The adjudge my class was told to do our sacred scripture reports was on Milkweed. This withstand is written by the famous root Jerri Spinelli. In this novel, thither are three main characters which are Misha Pilsudski, Janina Milgrom, and Uri. Misha is a recent boy in the beginning of the story that has no family, lives on streets, and steals sustenance from tribe to stay alive. He later joins a big gathering of kids who also steal food, and they live to fastenher in places that are abandoned. The leader of this company in called Uri. Uri is a in truth intelligent, young man who has red haired.Since he doesnt look like a Jew, he curios up becoming a jackboot at the end of the story. Janina Milgrom is a Jewish little girl who meets Misha when he steals food from her garden. This book is set in the course of study 1939 when World War 2 is barley starting out in Warsaw, Poland. Its happens during the final solution. former(a) p ossible substructure for this book is that your individuality smasheds e in truth(prenominal) social function. Before Uri named Misha, Misha was a nobody. He had no friends, and he moreover kept on running for forever. His identity was born when Uri gave him his name and his fake feel story under the barbershop.Misha was very rarefied of his identity, and when somebody asked him who he was, he tell his story it like it was the greatest affair in the world to him. unrivaled circumstance in the story that contradicts this is when Uncle Shepsel tries to give up his identity as a Jew. His efforts were slightly good, but they lock in werent roaring in the end. The last possible theme that I think is good for this book is to never have misgiving and if you do have fear, you wont survive. One event that supports this theme is when Uri tells the other divest boys that if you have fear you wont survive on the streets.This is true because if the boys had fear to steal the food f rom stores and people they would baby a lot or not even do it. If that happened, they would either go a centering caught and killed, or just end up starving cause of hunger. They key point in time of stealing the food was to be undetectable and if you had fear, you wouldnt be invisible. I wise(p) many things about the historical events that occurred in this story. I learned that all the Jews had to proceed to a place called the Ghetto. It seems weird that people can be so mean to others just because theyre a antithetical religion but theyre still good people on the inside.Another thing I learned was what the Holocaust was. I never really still what it was, and surprisingly its very elicit to learn about once you get deeper into it. Im actually very shocked in learning how the way people used to live during those times. Its crazy to think that little kids my period and even younger would be dungeon in the streets stealing food for a way to survive. Also its unbelievable, h ow it says that a lot of different families can would be sharing space in a tiny room. I was very strike while denotation this book because I didnt think I would end up liking it.It was actually very good, and it taught me many things I didnt bonk about how times were in other places back then. I liked how the author described everything very detailed, and while I was reading the book I could check some events in my time. It got me thinking of how good I am right now, in having all the things I have. One thing I didnt like was that the chapters were very short and it would make it harder for me to stop reading it. I would recommend this book to my friends. Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli was an overall good book.
