Outside Reading #3

In the book The Hiding Place the Germans are putting more and more rules into place. With this tension is building and the plot is starting to slowly climb the mountain. The rules of curfew and electronics have been put into place. We see this same situation in the book Night, which we read for this class. Another rule that is being placed upon the people is the ration cards. These ration cards get the characters the essentials to survive. For example food and water. The ration cards are of course limited to every person. Jews however are not given this ration cards. This is a problem because in order for people to move they must obtain these ration cards. The main character, a Christian women, Corrie and she really wants to help the Jews escape the horrors that Hitler and the Nazi party could put them through. In order to do that Corrie must move the Jews to a place called the 'underground'. Trying to move the Jews creates another problem because there is not enough ration cards for her just to give out. Corrie solves this problem by going to a friend and asking if there is a way to get obtain 100 ration cards!!! She was able to get these cards and hundreds more about every week. However more problems can arise such as medical care. Corrie starts getting more and more people involved to help protect the Jews going to the underground. Through all these little obstacles the plot is rising and the climax approaching. Who knows what happens next???
