It has been a month since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. America is officially at war with Germany and Japan, and everyone wants to do their part. In twelve-year-old Colton's case, that means stepping up at home once his older brother, Danny, ships out with the navy. But before Danny leaves for boot camp, the brothers are fishing on the Atlantic Ocean when Danny's boat is capsized by a Nazi U-boat, nearly killing him.

When more U-boats start attacking the next day, Colton realizes just how close the enemy is to American shores. With Danny's life in the balance, Colton does the only thing he can think of to help his family and his country: He steals his brother's enlisting papers and joins up instead.

Colton's bold decision leads to a deadly journey. Even if he can keep his age a secret and survive boot camp, he'll have to face Hitler's ruthless submarines. Only the longer he's on the seas, the less sure Colton is that he and his shipmates can stop such a relentless enemy.

Explore in what ways the novel, James and the Giant Peach teaches you about the importance of hope in life. Give reasons for you
bezimeni [28]

The first moment that we can see the importance of hope in life, is when we know that James' parents died and that he will live with his aunts in a very bad situation, because his aunts hate him and do not allow him to have fun or have friends. This is a very sad situation where there is no way out, it is at this moment that the hope of finding better days is more important, because in extremely difficult situations, only hope in life can alleviate our suffering.

A second moment that shows the importance of hope in life is when James manages to make friends with the most unusual beings possible, the insects, which through the hope of James being able to travel, have fun and get rid of his aunts, take him to incredible adventures.

Read Edward Corsi's quotation from the book Immigrant Kids by Russell Freedman. The writer Angelo Pellegrini has recalled his ow
horsena [70]

Answer:

This quote adds credibility to the text because it is a personal account of a person who witnessed that moment.

Explanation:

The text above shows how immigrants were treated when they tried to reach the USA and how complicated, delicate and neglected their situations were by immigration taxes. However, the storyteller is reporting a personal moment where violence against immigrants was imposed on his family. As the narrator is reporting a moment that he lived, this quote has great credibility.
