Milkweed

Stephanie Flores Per 2 Milkweed Book Report The make my class was told to do our have reports was on Milkweed. This book is written by the famous author Jerri Spinelli. In this novel, there are three main characters which are Misha Pilsudski, Janina Milgrom, and Uri. Misha is a five-year-old boy in the beginning of the story that has no family, livelys on streets, and steals solid food from people to stay alive. He later joins a big base of kids who also steal food, and they live together in places that are abandoned. The drawing card of this group in call(a)ed Uri. Uri is a real intelligent, young man who has violent haired.Since he doesnt look like a Jew, he ends 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 year 1939 when World War 2 is barley starting come forward in Warsaw, Poland. Its happens during the Holocaust. Anformer(a) possible theme for this book is that your identity element means ein truththing. Before Uri named Misha, Misha was a nobody. He had no friends, and he bonnie kept on running for forever. His identity was born when Uri gave him his name and his skirt life story under the barbershop.Misha was actually proud of his identity, and when somebody asked him who he was, he said his story it like it was the greatest thing in the world to him. One event in the story that contradicts this is when Uncle Shepsel tries to give up his identity as a Jew. His efforts were pretty good, but they still werent successful in the end. The last possible theme that I turn over is good for this book is to neer run through fear and if you do have fear, you wont survive. One event that supports this theme is when Uri tells the other orphan boys that if you have fear you wont survive on the streets.This is square(a) because if the boys had fear to steal the food from stores and people they would mess-up a apportion or not even do it. If that happened, they would either get caught and killed, or just end up starving cause of hunger. They key send of stealing the food was to be invisible and if you had fear, you wouldnt be invisible. I well-educated numerous things about the historical events that occurred in this story. I takeed that all the Jews had to move to a place called the Ghetto. It seems weird that people skunk be so mean to others just because theyre a several(predicate) religion but theyre still good people on the inside.Another thing I learned was what the Holocaust was. I never really understood what it was, and surprisingly its very interesting to learn about once you get deeper into it. Im actually very shocked in learning how the fashion people used to live during those times. Its crazy to compute that little kids my age and even junior would be living in the streets stealing food for a way to survive. Also its unbelievable, how it says that a lot of different families can would be sh aring space in a tiny room. I was very surprised while reading 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 know 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 picture some events in my time. It got me thinking of how fortunate 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.
