=**__CAMP 30__**= =**__PART 1: HISTORICAL CONNECTIONS.__**=

1) Historical Context.

The historical time period for my book is from Augest 7, 1942 to September 1942. This is during WWII so the war is a big factor for the story. The characters are 12 and 14 so it takes place just befor they go back to school. During the story they say stuff about there father who is fighting in africa for the Canadian army. During the month the two boys go through a lot because there mother gets a job working at a P.O.W camp witch has here close to over 300 German soldiers. This has to go along with the WWII theme because the author has both there parents work involing the war.

=**__PART 2: CHARACTER STUDY__**= 7) Conflicts

The bigest conflict the main characters face is there suspicion of one of the houses for the p.o.w's lived in because there was a man that would always play an acorrdian when someone got close to the house. When they went into the house they found a tunel that led out of the camp. They were going to tell somone but they got cought by some soldiers coming back to the house. The soldiers took them with them when they escaped. after they got out on the other side they got into a get away car that then took them to a submerian that would then take them back to Germany. When they got to the rondevou the submerian sent a rubber dingy so they could row to the sub. Just as they were about to get on the dingy the Canadina soldiers got there and arested the escaped Germans and Canadian boats droped depth charges at the sub and sunk it. If I was in that conflict to go in the house or not to I would go not iART %n because it is not my job to find out wether or not the soldiers are trying to esacpe or not.

=﻿**__PART3: LITERARY DIVICES IN THE NOVEL__**= 12) Point of View

The point of view in the story I read Camp 30, is told from Georges point of view. George is the main chacter in the story. One of the influences that this has on the story is when the Germans escape from the prison and take them with them, when they get out of the tunnel there are German soldiers waiting for them and when George screams one of the soldiers knocks him out. In the next chapter when George comes to they tell him that hes been out for two hours. If the story was from an other point of view there would have been an other cupple of pages on the car drive, insted of just ending the chapter when he gets knocked out. I think that the author choses to have the point of view from George because when Jack says bad stuff like "you big goon", George has his thoughts on what Jack just said. If the story was from Jacks point of view, when he said stuff like that you would get no feedback on what George thinks about it. I think that the story would not be as effective from an other point of view because George is the youngest and has a diferent view on things than if the story was told from an adults point of view.

=**__PART 4: CONNECTIONS__**= 16) Novel Comparison

I have read Stuffed witch is by the same author Eric Walters, I think that his book are all very good because they mostly involve Canada and I like canada. Eric Walters is also Candian. Camp 30 takes place in Whitby Onario, I think this is interesting because most WWII storys take place in Eroupe where the war takes place and not in canada where there is no war.
