Chapter 11 Question (Steph)
This chapter really starts talking about when the Germans took them to a ghetto and put them to work. As we read about the conditions he was in and how he was in pain, there were mothers and fathers being separated from their kids. In Szpilmans point of view, what thoughts would be running through your head? Would you be able to cope with everything and stay calm, or would you lash out and risk death?

If I were Szpilman, I would probably be very angry. I would want to act out on the Germans who are torturing all those people. But on the other hand I would also fear that they would kill me and the affect that that would have on my family would be terrible. So I think that for my family I would have to just sit back and stay calm so I could be there to protect and help them through that hard time.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Szpilman, I would be both extremely angry at the Germans for doing all of these horrible things to us but I would also be extremely scared of them. I would want to fight back to the Germans because of the anger I would have towards them and because I would want to try to make them stop what they were doing. I would also want to just sit and not do anything in hopes that they will just stop because of the fear I would have of them. I would probably not fight back because that would give me more chance to not be killed and then I would be able to protect my family if they need it.
