1. A. Fear
B. “I am frightened, Mama…There is a rumor going around that they have been taken away. Are they going to take us away too? Please tell me, Mama” (Appleman-Jurman 9).
C. This quote expresses fear in how Alicia has been noticing her Jewish schoolmates going missing. She is afraid these awful things may begin to happen to her and her family. By asking her mother she shows she is concerned. There is also a sense of dramatic irony to this quote because the readers know that her fate will turn out much like her friends who have been taken.

B. “In a moment I was flying through the air, and then crash! I hit a bush. A big branch gave way under me, forming a kind of cradle for my body”(Appleman-Jurman 32).
