    In addition to your reading log, I have added a section to OneNote for you to complete (1) response each week. Traditionally, we do this on Monday, but I will leave it up to you which day you complete your response.  

     

    If you do not have access to OneNote, you can create a document in Word.

    • Save it in OneDrive as: Your Name IR Prompts (Cquinn IR Prompts)

     Title: The Tattooist of Auschwitz 

     Author: Heather Morris 

     Pages 32-46 

      

                      I notice that Lale, the protagonist, is a prisoner in the camp Auschwitz and is "lucky" to have the job of Tatowierer. He puts the numbers on the prisoners when they arrive to the camp. In the text Jacob states, “And I will recommend you, my friend, to join me in this special job.” Obviously, Jacob knows that this new job is important. It will keep him safe from the Nazis. However, it also seems that his role in the camp is much more important to the prisoners because as the Tatowierer, he gets special privileges that he uses to help others survive.
