Title of Book: Somewhere There Is Still a Sun
Author: Michael Gruenbaum
What was the problem in the book, and how was it solved? Be specific.
Michael was going through tough times when the Nazis kept putting rules on the jews.
After they repeatedly put rules on the jews they transported them to concentration camps.
After a long time in the camps the Germans lost the war and the Jews were set free.
What was the author's purpose or purposes in writing the book? Explain how you know.
He writes to inform about his life in the time of the war. I know this because the author of
this book is also the main character in the book.
What did the title have to do with the book?
The title is a saying that is said in the book for hope when Michael is in a tough time.
Tell in your own words how the setting of the story made it more interesting. Be specific.
The setting of the book is in the concentration camp named Terezin. It is interesting
because the book is in very good detail, so you can picture everything in your head.
If one of the characters visited our classroom, what question would you ask them? (Make
sure the question relates to the plot/problem/actions of the story.) *Give the name of the
character with the question!!*
Michael:Would you have done anything different when you look at the past.
Pretend you are a librarian recommending the book to someone. Write a paragraph telling
what you would say.
This is a very good book to read. It is very accurate in its time period. You will learn a lot
about the holocaust and the war. It is not very hard to read, and not too long of a book.
If they made a movie of this book, which scene would be most important to include. Explain
the scene with details and why it's important.
The scene where Michael`s dad is being buried and when he is handed the shovel and has
a meltdown and blacks out. Ithink this really adds to the plot and makes the story better.
I liked the question that you asked Micheal.
