1: How does fear influence the characters actions? For example when all the Jews were called to go to the stadium in chapter 4 and they all went out of fear for what would happen if they didn’t go.

2:Vladek, at one point, begins doing under the counter work for a grocery shop. Do you think this was a smart idea considering that his friend Cohn and his son were hung for dealing goods without a coupon? Also do you think hiding the elders was a good idea considering what could have happened to Vladek and his family if the Germans found out.

3: How does the way the father narrates the story effect the way certain elements of the story are told? For example how he speaks in a very conversational manner does it feel more real?
