Blog 3: GAC and Cage Reading

The GAC words for this week are: aggressive, authentic, contradict, extravagant, flounder, hone, perceive, quirk, saunter, and summon.

Use four (4) of these vocabulary words in a one-paragraph response to your reading over the weekend. What portions of the story did you find compelling [moving] in Chapters 34-40? Challenge: Include a quotation from the text.

I found it moving that Riva's poetry could touch so many people. Tola said, "Riva, you speak for all of us, they cannot kill our spirit, our hunger to survive." (Sender, 195). Riva is lucky that the Nazi leader that took her to and from the doctor's was not aggressive. The nazi's personalities kind of contradict each other, because even though she is nice and has feelings, she is a Nazi.  Riva's commander is very extravagant and mean, so i was surprised when she said that Riva will be allowed to go to a hospital. Riva floundered through the streets because since she was so suck she could barely walk.
