Helmuth is forced into joining the Hitler youth and does not want to do it at all.He also gets a high mark on his essay he had to take for stating his own opinion.

Well it's good that he got a high mark, but it's horrible he has to join the Hitler youth.

Helmuth sarts to notice that more signs about jews are getting put up. He also sees a bad future with Hitler and how he hates the jews.

Helmuth seems like a smart guy. He know Hitler is up to no good.I would hope other people would think that because Hitler seems horrible!

Helmuth gets in a huge fight with Hugo because he disobeyed his teacher by saying somthing smarter than the teacher.He also has to write a 500 page report on how Hitler is wonderful.

I would puke on my teacher if this happened,that would be horrible.

I predict he will stand up for the jews and get in trouble.
