Chapters 11-14
I thought the structure in chapter 11-14 was well thought out like when the food and people was linked back to the start. and the vocabulary used was deeply thought about. The author used words such as tassels which set the scene in WW2. There is a lot of dialogue in these chapters maybe a bit too much. Like when Uri said "they're children" which was unnecessary and could have been cut out. There where long bits of conversation. I think the author could have cut out the boring dialogue bits. There is a lot of show don't tell in these chapters i can really visualise what the characters are doing like stealing food. These chapters make me feel engaged and make me want to read more. The chapters are quite short so there is not much too each chapter. The author used literary devices such as onepatapeia and others to enhance the text. "This thing electricity. I did not understand it," since this book was set in WW2 electricity is a new thing that is why the boy has not heard of it.
