 * THUR. Dec. 11 **
 * Read about the march to Dachau and Hans's 'mistake'
 * Read about the basement inspection, Liesel's cunning in warning Rosa, Hans, and Max of the inspection, and the atmosphere. Discussed the black cloud of smoke associated with the Nazi inspectors and the blue sky that foreshadows all will be well - the sounds of footsteps and tape measures - an ominous atmosphere of tension - juxtaposed images of evil and beauty - march to Dachau = constant juxtaposition of humankind's capacity for acts of extreme brutality and acts of gentle compassion.
 * WED. Dec. 10 **


 * HW: Do #2 from Plot Analysis Part 6 - Infer the mood of the basement raid. Remember, anything that has to do with mood or atmosphere is an aspect of //setting// so you need to examine the diction (word choice, phrases, imagery) that describes the setting and establishes an atmosphere. From there, move on to how the characters are responding - therefore adding another layer of feelings and emotions to the atmosphere.
