Holocaust In the second book in this series Felix has taken Zelda under his wings. He has decided to help them find a new home and find his parents who he still thinks is alive. He holds on to this hope throughout. Zelda claims she is Jewish even though she isn’t. Her parents were actual Nazi supporters. As Felix and Zelda travel across Poland they witness the horrors of the Nazis. Felix does his best to shield her from a lot of this violence. He tells her stories to take her mind off of any troubles they may run into. As a ten-year-old he seems at times so much older. Zelda is only six and can definitely be annoying. Felix takes it all in stride. This is the second book in the series and the tension is just beginning to get really taught. I highly recommend this series. Then continues the story started in Once, beginning with 10-year-old Felix and 6-year-old Zelda's escape from the trainload of Jews bound for a Polish death camp. Felix and Zelda find a place to hide and assume new identities (thanks to Felix's love of Richmal Crompton's books). Although Zelda isn't Jewish, Felix is, and his presence endangers both Zelda and the woman sheltering them both. Zelda's uncontrollable temper doesn't help matters. A Polish boy in the village becomes Felix's enemy, but Felix and Zelda find friends in unexpected places. Just as every chapter of Once starts with the word “once”, every chapter of Then starts with the word “then”. “Once” brings to mind stories and fairy tales. “Then” just seems awkward. “Once” puts a comfortable distance between the story and the reader. “Then” makes the story more immediate and personal. Felix witnesses some horrible things, and it's difficult to read about them without the repetitive use of “once” that keeps some space between the the terrible events and the reader. Finally, it's missing a very important “then”.
"Then" by Morris Gleitzman is the story that continues from "Once". Felix also known as Wilhelm and Zelda also recognised as Violeta, have escaped from a train heading towards a Jewish death camp now they're on the run for survival. Felix is ten years of age and Zelda is six. They're both Jewish and running from Nazi's hoping they will survive and not get killed. They're on their on with nothing but each other. Felix and Zelda pray to Richmal Crompton to save them. Their prayers are answered when a woman by the name of Genia and her friendly dog Leopold find them in the forrest, but that doesn't mean they'll live happily ever after. Can Felix and Zelda hide their true identities as Jewish Children from the Nazi's and the towns people?.Felix and Zelda come across many obsticles and challenges and meet some people along the way. Each day brings a new battle for survival. Felix tries his best to protect Zelda and Genia from being killed. He especially feels like its his responsibility to ensure Zelda is safe. He does anything he can for her, but is it enough?. "Then" uses the technique of first person perspective which helped me understand and feel the characters emotions in more depth. I enjoyed reading this narrative and reccomend it to anyone past the age of thirteen. There's always something new around the corner and you will not want to put it down. This narrative will have you bitting your finger nails ,putting you at the edge of your seat and eager to turn each page. Overall "Then" is a great book for almost any age. It's full of suprises and challenges which will test your faith. Although the story-line is quite serious, Morris Gleitzman has also added a touch of humor into the narrative. there's a wide variety of emotion depending on your characteristics and sense of humor.

Then is the second story of Felix and Zelda. They escaped from the Nazis, but how long can they now survive when there are so many people ready to hand them over for a reward? Thanks to the courage of a kind, brave woman they are able to hide for a time in the open, but Felix knows he has a distinguishing feature that identifies him as a Jew and that it is only a matter of time before he is discovered, which will mean death for them all. Even though he promised Zelda he would never leave her, he knows he has to, before it is too late. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
