Our book of the month is The Yellow Star by Carmen Deedy. After reading and listening to the Legend of King Christian X of Denmark, explain why the author titled the book The Yellow Star. What does the yellow star symbolize?
In “The Yellow Star”, the star symbolizes who the jews were so notsees could take them away to never be seen again. But when King Christian wore the yellow star, everyone who saw him wore one to and the notsees couldn’t tell who was and wasn’t a jew. In “Twisted”, the video teaches us about acceptance because the owner didn’t accepted that his dogs tail was “Twisted” and tries to make it straight. Then another dog comes along and he likes him, until he looks at the tail…
