Pam Jenoff, The Kommandmants Girl
Summary: Emma is learning more and more about the Kommandmants, and she keeps getting tasked to do more things as in file more paperwork and sit in on secret meetings. The more things she learns, the more she brings back to the resistance. She is getting impatient with how long she has to wait to see her husband again, and she is beginning to lose hope. His aunt keeps reassuring her that everything will be fine, but Emma doesn’t believe it. The Kommandmant also starts to like Emma seemingly enough.
Critical Analysis: In this section, the author used implied meanings, figurative language, tone, and many more techniques in order to get the readers attention. For figurative language she uses the quote, “Word of visit spreads quickly around the castle, and soon every office is abuzz with preparation.” Here the author uses personification to describe the word of visit and the office. The author also uses implied meanings, for example, “I shiver as we speed past the trees and houses, leaving the last smoky traces of sunset behind us.” Here, she is shivering due to the uncomfortableness, and her fear of what lies behind the trees. For tone, an example is, “I can’t believe this at all!” she screamed, “This shouldn’t have happened.”
Personal Response: There is a lot of drama going on with Emma and the Kommandmant, and it’s very interesting. I hope Emma finds her husband too. I just wish though, that there was more teen books in Poland literature, or more fictional books. This isn’t my type of style like the last one, but at least this one is better than the last.
