The Kommandmant Girl, Pam Jenoff
Pages read: 210-270
Word count:345
Summary: Emma continuously goes back and forth with her moral rights wondering if this is the right thing to do. Her aunt in law continues to let her know that everything will be fine and she will soon be reunited with her husband. Emma must continue to find the information the rebellion needs but the Kommandmant goes on a business trip which means she must take a break from looking. She doesn’t know if this is the right thing to do. She also keeps getting opportunities, but fear overcomes her.
Critical Analysis: Jenoff uses a lot of implied meanings, personification, and even tone. Emma “stared intently at the drawer, and didn’t take [her] eyes off of this. This could be the moment” where she could maybe grab the files she has been working on. This shows implied meanings through body language; Even though Emma was only staring intently, I am inferring that what she really meant was she needed to divert all of her attention to this situation and was showing confidence. In the book, Jenoff also uses figurative language. As Emma thought about what she had to do next and while in though she looked toward “The curtains danced with the wind as air entered the open window.” The author uses personification here to compare curtains to a dancer of sorts . This comparison suggests the curtains were moving with the wind in such a way that looks like the sway of hips.
Personal Response: There have been plenty of suspenseful parts where I thought the Kommandmant would catch Emma from snooping around. In my opinion sometimes, she did not pick the best times to go look. The Kommandmant was away a lot of the time in the heat of the war but she still contemplated it when he was sleeping in the next room. It’s just weird to think about. I wonder if the apparent crush he has on her would allow her to get away with more stuff.

“Perhaps I could help him by... I shake my head. There is no time for such ridiculous thoughts. It must be my nerves, I decide.”

The Kommandmants Girl, Pam Jenoff
Pages read: 165-210
Word count: 348
Summary: Emma is still questioning whether she should continue with this double life for the sake of her husband. She is feeling the strain of stress from trying to hide who she really is, and is scared the Kommandmant will find out. The Kommandmant has been moving forward with Nazi plans, but Emma doesn’t agree with them due to how inhumane the acts are. She yells at him, saying those are people too, and you shouldn’t harm them for no good reason. They’re innocent. He doesn’t end up sending her away with him, but instead ignores her and does it anyways. Emma goes back to her aunt in law and explains everything that’s happening and how she hates continuing this job.
Critical Analysis: The author uses oft language through the story. For example, “She raise at brow at the thought, maybe this was all for nothing. Maybe her husband really just left her.” She was confused and conflicted with her feelings, and curious as to what the truth was. Another example is, “She stared and struged at his stupid comments.” At this point, everything that came out the Kommandmants mouth is stupid to her. Another thing the author uses was figurative language. For example, “He pointed towards the door that seemed to be screaming from the contents within the room.”
Personal Response: Emma’s bravery to stand up to the Kommandmant is almost empowering that a woman has the guts to tell him how she feels. At the same time, I think due to the Kommandmants little crush on Emma, that’s why she didn’t end up dead. But again, she is 19, not much older than me, and was willing to risk her life to stand up for what she believes in. The war times shown is this book are the biggest reason this book is interesting, you are constantly wondering what the Kommandmants next move is, and is Emma safe? I wonder if she will ever get caught.

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.

Summary: Emma keeps meeting new people involved in the war, although she is with the resistance, and eventually she realizes she has to change her identity to Anna Lipowski. Soon she means the Kommandmant Richwalder, a high ranking Nazi official who hires her to work as her assistant. The people in the resistance planned for her to get in, to learn info on what the Nazis are hiding, while Emma is trying to just get her husband back and her life, but she still knows this is the right thing to do.
Critical Analysis: In the section the read, Pam Jenoff uses a lot of implied meaning as well as foreshadowing. For implied meaning she uses, “My hands shaking, I picked up a notepad from my desk and followed him inside.” This is an example of how body language and be portrayed to show how the character was feeling. She was clearly very nervous due to the uncomfortable situation she was in as well as the clear shaky hands. Another example of implied meanings would be, “‘O-okay,’ I stammer, caught off guard by the nonchalance of his question.” Again, the author uses body language to show how confused and uncomfortable she is with the situation. For foreshadowing she uses the two quotes, “I mean, I’m a schoolteacher. I’m hardly qualified for such a position.” and “He didn’t exactly tell me what is going on, but he asked me to keep an eye on you, in case anything should happen to him.”
Personal Response: The book just keeps getting better as time goes on. It doesn’t focus on the love like I said and it’s interesting. The main character has a clear focus but at the same time, the whole focus isn’t on her husband. She is facing her own struggles, and trying to get away from everything that’s going on. It’s shows an independent woman at a time where war crimes and such would be focus more on the husband, or just men in general. It’s really cool to read, but I definitely read more interesting WWII books at the same time.
