Resistance

Resistance is secret organization that fights for national freedom.

This relates to my book because the Rehme family resisted by hiding Jews to save them.

Korinna’s House

Exposition

The exposition is when Korinna and two of her friends Eva and Rita are walking home from their weekly Jungmadel meeting, when they see a friendly, innocent man being beaten and taken away by the Gestapo in front of his family. The next day she finds out why.

Rising Action

The rising action is at the end of chapter three when Korinna first found out about the two Jewish girls Sophie and Rachel living behind her wardrobe. Her emotions are scattered about in her head as she was trying to figure out what is right and what is wrong.

ClimaxDuring the climax the Gestapo comes to Korinna's house at night,

twice in the story. The first time they come they found nothing, but leave suspicious. Once they come back the second time the Gestapo are super suspicious, and once again find nothing, except now they found a huge hole behind wardrobe were Sophie and Rachel once lived. The Gestapo thought the hole was a "Shrank", because Korinna filled the walls with photographs, newspaper clippings, and articles that had to do with Hitler.

Falling Action

In the falling action Sophie and Rachel are reunited with Sol,( Sophie's husband and Rachel's father.) They are so happy to finally see each other again, but so sad because there was only three fourths of their family together. Rachel's 14 year old sister Ruth died of pyromania, once Rachel first found out about Ruth's death she never wanted to color again.

Resolution

During the resolution Korinna's family is forced out of their home, or they'd be killed. When their leaving Korinna realized that freedom is perhaps more important than love.After all, if you're not free to love whom you wish, what good is love?(quote from author, Laura E. Williams.)
