Oh well.....
I suppose I can get better at painting,
It is harder than I thought.
Sometimes the people who I paint don't like the paintings and run off.
It makes me sad when they do that......
It is very rude.
They don't even let me say thank you for their time.
I could get better......
Edith called today.
She said she was under arrest.
I don't want to believe it.
But it may be true.
In the backround sound on the phone,
It sounded like someone was breaking the door down and smashing the walls of their house.
It would be horrible if that were true.
Taking away them all...including little David.
I'll just hope it isn't true.
It is true.
They took Edith away and her husband and her son David.
I don't know how I can stand this.
That is just cruel, taking them away and all.......
I talked to their neighbours.
They said they raided their house.
I can't complain... but I would like to.
I don't know who arrested them.
I just hope Edith and her family survives.
Journal entry 2 reflection
I chose to make journal entries for Sophie bang because she lives alone like Edith after she escapes and would want to have a journal or something like that so she could have someone else to speak to. I wrote three parts to her journal. One about her painting, one about her hoping that Edith and her family didn't get arrested, and one about her complaining and mourning about them being arrested. I wrote those because she would probably write them when they happened. She would complain about people not liking her paintings, hoping that her friends weren't in prison, and finally mourning that they were in prison.
Sophie Bang was vital to the novel because she showed David who his mother was and told the story about how David probably got into the concentration camps. If she had not been there to paint someone when David went by, there would be a completely different ending. He would of probably not of made it to Denmark because him knowing that his mother living in Denmark boosted him determination to get to Denmark. The time setting is just before the war for the first one, and at the beginning o the war for the second one. I know this because Sophie Bang would be painting before the war, and the next two at the beginning of the war because some people would be arrested at the beginning of the war.
Jonah, this journal entry is probably one of your best, I like how you thought that Sophie would write in her journal with a poem; this looks like you put a lot of effort into it. Your reflection is very well detailed as well but you should check up on your grammar and spelling. In some areas it is quite rough.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on your comment about Sophie being instrumental to David finding his mother.
Although I think he was too lucky in finding the exact person who knew about his mother completely by accident. I assume that if David wasn't so lucky, as many escapees were, his trip would've ended much earlier. I appreciate your effort into this post and overall I think it is one of the best I've seen.

Jonah,
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to have these two journals-people who were close to each other and a part of David's life also, especially his mother.
Your reasons are well explained in your reflection.
