Discussion Question 2 (Week 3)

Discussion Question 2

We find out more about Albert's life and family in Hungary. We learn that both of his parents have died because they had a newspaper that "wrote bad things about Hitler and the Nazis." While telling Lily about his family history, he says that "if they loved us, they would not have done that (wrote the newspaper), they would not have bothered with newspapers." Do you agree with Albert? Do you think his parents shouldn't have written the newspaper? Why or why not? Do you think Albert's parents loved him? Make sure to really explain your thinking and answer ALL of the questions being asked!

  1. I agree with Albert that even though the Nazis are bad and killed people, his parents should NOT have written the newspaper. If they didn’t write the newspaper, they would still be alive. I think Albert’s parents loved him because they are not telling Albert that they don’t love him but they need to tell others that the Nazis are bad people.

    1. I disagree with Albert. It is hard for him to understand as a young boy in this time of his life and in this time in History how important it was for his parents and his people to have a voice against the awful things that Hitler and the Nazis did. If they and others did not speak out against the Nazis there could of been a lot more death and violence. Because they loved him and wanted a better life for him is why they did it. They wanted the world to be a different place for him to grow up and have his own family in. It was sad for his sister Ruth, but Albert's parentsknew that they had to do what was best for Albert to survive by sending him away.

  2. I disagree with Albert I think they wrote it for a reason. Because what if they wrote the newspaper because they wanted them to see it. Because Albert wasn’t there when they were. Albert's parents loved him so much. Because every kid be loved and if Albert loved his sister she should have loved him. Also, His dad died and they wrote the newspaper so they can read it and remember them but it turns out that Albert is mad.

  3. I do not think that Albert’s parents should have wrote the newspaper because `do not agree with Albert because Albert should not have told Lily that Albert’s parents died. Also,Alberts parent should not have written the newspaper because only Albert’s family should know that his parents died. Also,I think that Albert's parents loved him or else they would have left him in France with his sister Ruth who was sick. And they would have left Albert with his sister and Albert would have to take care of his sister Ruth.

  4. I disagree with Albert because I think his parents weren't trying to get them self's killed. I think they loved Albert. I just think they wrote the news paper so they could get there thoughts out to the world, About the war and what was going on. I think his parents should have not have written that newspaper because they got killed for doing it. Why in the world would they write a newspaper about Hitler. I mean why do they think that they would be safe? Hitler was taking over at that time and if a Nazis or Hitler saw that newspaper they would be in trouble. I really think that Albert's parents loved him I think that they did not know what was going to happen. So they did that but they go killed.

  6. I disagree with Albert, I think his parent's should have written the newspaper because it was the right thing to do. The Nazi's are over powering their cities and tells them they don't need that much power. I think all parents love their kids. Also Albert loved his family.
