Double- Entry Journals It is important to reflect on the themes and movements throughout the text of Prisoner B-3087. Each week you will be required to complete one

journal. Every Monday your journals will be checked for completion. There will be a total of six journals.

Example:

Quote:“If I had known what the next six years of my life were going to be

like, I would have eaten more” (pg. 2.)

Entry:This is the beginning quote of the novel. I chose this quote because it shows how Yanek

reflected on his journey. He says he would have eaten more. In my reading thus far, I have seen how

hunger can impact a person. I have never experienced the type of hunger that Yanek describes, and I am so fortunate for that. In

the first chapter of the book, I got shivers thinking about losing

my home and freedom like Yanek had to endure. You can

feel the fear and uncertainty in Yanek’s voice. “We just sat there

in my family’s flat, listening to the radio and watching the sky over Kraków turn black as the

Germans came to kill us.”
