Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.


A student attempting to identify the main idea of paragraph two wrote the following sentence:

When researchers at the University of Missouri began examining trees in surrounding areas, fire damage in a Canadian forest revealed that huge wildfires in the mountains near Ontario darkened the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

The student's sentence does not include enough information from the paragraph.
The student's sentence leaves out too many important details from the paragraph.
The student's sentence perfectly and properly captures the main idea of the paragraph.
The student's sentence shows the main idea but does not paraphrase the author's words.

In <em>“Part Eight: The Word Shaker”,</em> changes come to Himmel Street.

The change that happens to Liesel is the change from an angry, distrusting character to one that has a strong sense of family and friends.

When the book comes to an end, she has strong personal morals and ethics and although they are challenging to enforce, she stands by them, despite turbulent and testing times.

<h3>What happened in the book?</h3>

This is the character development that centers on the main character, Liesel who is stubborn and strong-willed and always angry at something.

After Himmel Street is bombed, this brings about a perspective change to Liesel as her loved ones are killed by the blast and this shatters her world and she says farewell to Rudy, only after he is dead.

She goes home with the mayor and Frau Hermann arrives and takes Liesel home with them.

Liesel remains in mourning as she refuses to eat and keeps the ash of the Himmel Street bombings on her skin as a form of remembrance, funeral, or respect.
