Focus Question: How do ____________ (fill in your person's name here) experiences during the Holocaust change him/her as a person?

Throughout your reading of your book, you have witnessed many significant changes that your main person has experienced as a result of his/her time during the Holocaust/War. I encourage you to delve deeply into their character and focus on important aspects, such as: his/her personality, morality, beliefs or values.

Your goal is to identify at least two major changes, and 'prove' using textual evidence and interpretation, how they transform by the end of the book. To do this you will need to show how they were in the beginning, middle, and end of the book. Please use TIQA as your tool for organization.
