     Hey Rosemay. Im following your blog because your book was in my top choices. You have made the book sound so interesting. I can't wait to see how it ends. Also, this song goes great with how you're describing the book!

     Hey Sarah! "Because I Am Furniture" was my second choice to read! I loved looking at all the pictures because it gave you the story without really having to read anything. I can't wait to read more on your blog!

     Nina! It's Alicia. I wish I knew someone who was reading the same book that I am. I'm looking forward to compare how you and Rosemary both describe the book. This was one of my top choices and I hope that I can read it. I totally agree with you on reading long novels. It isn't my thing either. I also like looking at all of your pictures and see how the book is described with them. Can't wait to read more.

The song of the holocaust

The song starts off scary and mysterious. It feels dark and cool. In the book, I feel like this is what is going on. When Hitler first became the leader of Germany, everyone was cheerful. Only a couple are realizing what is truely going on. Helmuth isn't happy that he has to act like he is for Hitler. He wishes he could speak out so more people can take action. He knows that if he is were to speak out that he could be killed. I think that this song goes perfectly with the book.
