Bravery
&
Sacrifice
For
this history book
report the
class read
the
book Unforgottenby
Fraru
Thaler.
This book is
a
historicaUnarrative book.
To
me
the main
points
or
themes
of
this book
are
bravery
and
sacrifice.
These are
main points
because
Franz is
very
brave when
it
comes
to
dealing
with
all
the
things
that go on
with
his
life.
Sacrificing
his
happiness
for
his
family
is
a
big
deal. When
he
needs
to tum himself
in
so
his
family
wont
go
to
jail
because
HE
didn't
go
to
the
anny, is
a
big
sacrifice
point in his
life.
I
think Mr.
McCaslin
wanted
us
to
read
this book
because he
wanted
us
to
get
a
good
sense
of
what
happened
in
the
two world
wars
and
why.
I think
its
great
that he is
having
us read
this
because
it
shows us
what
happened
to
people
and
how lucky
we
are
to
live in
a
world
like
we
do.
"I
desperately
tried to
find
a
way
out,
as
I
had already heard
about
too many
of
the
atrocities
which
the
Hitler
regime
had
perpetrated.
And
so
I
decided
to
follow
the advice
of
some
of my friends
and
to
flee
to
the
mountains" (Thaler
39).
This
is
an
example
of
bravery in
this
story.
Franztakes
a
risk
and flees
to
the mountains. He is
risking
getting
caught
and
being
put
in
prison.
This
might
not
be
the best sign
of bravery from him,
but
it
shows
that
he has
the gut.
"Soon
it
was.made
known
that
the
whoie families of
the
draft
resisters
would
be
arrested unless
the
latter
turned themselves
in"
(Thaler 46). This is
an
example
of
sacrifice. Instead
of
letting his
family
take the
fall for
him
running
away, he
turned
himself in.
I
don't think
Franz Thaler
made the
right
decision
by
running
away,but
if
I
were
him
I
would
be
scared
too. He was brave
and scared at
the
same
time.
He was
brave
enough to
run
alryay,
but
scared enough
to
do
so.
Sacrifice
for
himself,
his
family,
and
his
fiends
in this book
are
very important.
"Ho\§

Will I
survive at
all? Perhaps
I
will
be

up someu'here,
dead on

These
thoughts kept

(Thaler
132).Franzis
