APPLICATION

Analysis

Text to Text
I read the book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. In that book there was the holocaust just like in World War II.

Synthesis
I would change that the Nazi didn’t kill all the Jews and didn’t blame the Jews for Germany’s problems. In effect the Jews would’ve been safe from the Nazi and the Jews wouldn’t have had to listen to Germany’s problems.

Evaluation
My opinion on the Nazi is I don’t like how Hitler and the Nazi wanted to kill all of the Jews. I also don’t like how the Nazi also blamed the Jews for Germany’s problems.

ANSWERS

• September 10, 1939.
• Four thousand two hundred fifty.
• William Mackenzie King.
