The Girl in the Green Sweater Analysis: By Natasha Garczynski
TONE/MOOD:
Song: Beethoven's symphony no. 5 – It gives a sense of drama and secrecy. Background: Fire – It represents panic and chaos, while they are sitting in the sewers of Lvov even the sound of a pin dropping made them drop everything and hide.
Secrecy/ Mystery: Krystyna was eight years old and trapped in the sewers of Poland with eleven other people after being pursued by the Nazi's during the holocaust. She recalls the discomfort of living in the sewer, where they had to live with rats that were after their food, and lice that had invaded their heads.

It was when a group member smothered a newborn while the mother was resting.
KEY EVENTS:

This was important because he was German, but he brought the group supplies and help them find their hiding spot.
When the group member suffocated the newborn.
This showed just how far someone would go to protect themselves.
