The Flag…

A sign of definite intelligence - The Vox Book Club (The Spokesman-Review)

Round 4 of Book Thief Discussion!

The Flag.

Discussion Questions:

The color of the last section was black, now we read about red; What effect does this have on the section?
The Narrator compares the falling ash to snow, Are there any other aspects of the book that compares with the weather we're now experiencing?
The colors - white, black, red - Do you think these colors will have distinct importance later in the book?

Feel free to add your comments, questions, thoughts!

Remember: The next two sections: Arrival on Himmel Street and Growing Up A Saumensch shall be discussed on Friday! :) Enjoy!

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
