“I saw her at the edge of the pit. I heard...”
“I covered my ears.”I have a candle.”
“We can’t light it. Someone might see!”
“We'll just light it for a minute- away from the window. Then blow it out.” Escape Into The Night, Bataya & Halina, pg.20
According to the quote I wonder why did they need the candle? Maybe because they wanted to see each other. Although I think they should have saved the candle. I also wonder what did they use to light it? I think they should have saved that too because, the place that they are in, it isn’t that important to see and to light the candle for later because they are planning to escape. Also I wouldn’t take the risk of anyone seeing us especially the Nazis. This quote is a memorable quote because it makes me think about the reason for them doing that. What do you think you would do, save the candle or not? I would to keep safe.
This reminds me of when schools practice drills to hide from predators by the school. So, as a class, we would hide in the classroom. We would have to turn off the lights and close the blinds, only if you were in a classroom on the outer part of the school. Then the whole class would hide somewhere in the classroom away from all windows so no one can see us. The part of the quote that says they will light a candle away from window then blow it out, reminds me of turning off the lights in the classroom and getting away from the windows.This connects to the Holocaust because the Nazis would liquidate the ghetto so it seemed pretty important to not be in your house at the time of that. Also being seen puts yourself deeper in danger. I think light can be pretty dangerous because being seen by certain people isn’t worth it.
I think that is a really good connection to make
ReplyDeleteGood connection. However, to make it better, maybe a little more background from the quote. Like, where are they? Interesting point about the candle, but why do they need it? Good flow in your writing. =]
