Blog for the week of march 2-3

By: Michael H.
Author of book: Leon Lyson
Book: The boy on the wooden box
Prompt: Think of a problem that a character had to face. Write the problem and how the
character solved it or is working to solve it. If you were that character, what
would you do differently?

        One of the problems that the main character Leon Leyson encountered in the story was that there was no food for them, they literally had to look around and hopefully find a piece of dried bread. The way that he solved the problem of not having that much food was he would be friends with a lot of people and he would do a lot of chores for his neighbors. If I was that character I honestly don't know how I would get food except for working for different people around that neighborhood. I think that it could be kind of dangerous because what happens if you accidentally stay out to late because the nazi's walk around every night and shoot people that are up past their curfew. So what I would do differently would be probably killing rats and eating them if you can because I don't know if you can get diseases from eating them.

 2nd prompt: If you could ask the author any question, what question and why?

   If I could ask the author Leyon Lyson  any question about the book "The Boy on The Wooden Box" I would ask him what he would have done if he was alone and he did not have is parents or siblings with him. The main reason that I would ask this question would be because a lot of the choices that he made were influenced by his family being with him. An example of this would be when he was going to go to a different camp than his family but then he decided to take the chance to jump in line to the work place were his family was going. 

Another reason that I would ask that question would be because if he did not have is family with him would he have just given up or keep trying to live after every day because some of the nazis that were running the camp were really crazy because they would just shoot people for fun. For example one time he thought of giving up after he go whipped with glass but right before he made a decision he thought of his mother father sister and brother.
