Milkweed Stopthief

Milkweed Milkweed is about a boy called Jew. Gypsy. Stopthief. Filthy son of Abraham. He’s a boy who lives in the streets of Warsaw. He’s a boy who steals food for himself, and the other orphans. He’s a boy who believes in bread, and mothers, and angles. He's a boy who wants to be a Nazi, with tall shiny jackboots of his own-until the day that suddenly makes him change his mind. And when the trains come to empty the Jews from the ghetto of the damned, he’s a boy who realizes it’s safest of all to be nobody. The objects in this book describes the main character in a very different way. His life revolves around these objects and has great and also bad memories with them. For example he had a dream that he was running from this lady and took
her loaf of bread. This was the starting of the book which kicked it off with the 2 main character, Stopthief and Uri. Uri took Stopthief under his wing so he wouldn't get killed. If this wasn't the starting of the book Stopthief wouldn't have found Uri to help him find where he needed to go to be successful and not get caught by anyone. Misha is a homeless boy that lives on the streets. He had a dream of running with his chest full of bread and being chased. The boy that was chasing him helped him threw out the whole entire book. Uri brings him to an orphanage to see the real would of how homeless people live, but when he sees a pretty horse on the merry-go-round he wants to try it. Having Misha seeing that didn't help the situation, but the horse wasn't for him. The owner, Dr. Korczak didn't want any Gypsy’s or jews on any of the horses. Misha loved the horse that was at the orphanage, but wasn't allowed to ride it because he was a Gypsy. He loved the memories of riding horses with his brother. This is why the horse was so special. It was a black horse and had many different colors on the sides. When someone destroyed the horse he was upset, but was happy that they found the guy and gave him a very big and harsh punishment. Additionally, Dr. Korczak knew that he was a Jew and a Gypsy because he had the armband that represented the Jewish culture. The band Misha was wearing had a blue star that represented a Jew. It rapped around his arm and stayed there. It showed what he believed and he wasn't afraid to say he was both of them. Anytime someone would say dirty Jew or Gypsy he would say it right back. That meant that he was really true to his culture, which means back then, not many people wanted to be Jews because sometimes they would be killed and others would live, so it was good for Misha to be like that. In conclusion, all of these objects and woulds that describes the main character(s) really help them in bad situations and were a big part in the book to have these in the book with them. This made the book much more interesting and helpful to understand.
