Chapter 9 and 10 Question (Sarah)
On page 101, Szpilman and his family, along with many other families are all waiting to be sent to a labor camp or at least thats what the Germans told them. Some of the people thought that they were just being sent to their death and that the Germans were lying about a labor camp. Would you believe the Germans or would you think that they were just going to kill you at the place you were being sent to? Also, some of the people were talking about joining together to fight back against the Germans. Would you choose to fight back or just go along with what they told you to do in fear of being killed?

Well personally I would think that they are taking me to a place where they would kill me. Because of how they had no tolerance for Jews in the first place. I would want a chance to act out and fight back only because if I was going to a "death" camp whats the worst that can happen... I would want to use all my strength and possibly take a few Germans down with me as opposed to just standing there and being shot.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what Kristen said. If i was being sent somewhere that i did not know where it was, i would instantly assume that it would be my death. however, i do not think i would lash out and fight back right away. i would wait to see where i end up and if it is worth fighting back then i would but i think i would wait it out. but if there were more people willing to fight back with me, like a majority, then i would definitely fight back.
