Boudinot's Littlest Hitler
I did not like this story! Why would a fourth grader think its okay to dress like Adolf Hitler for Halloween????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Davy/mini Hitler thought that because there were no Jews in his town, no one would take offense. What made that even worse, if that's possible, is that a girl in his class went as Anne Frank! The teacher made them present who they were and everyone sided with Anne Frank, which made Davy cry. Davy switched his costume for the parade because he was so upset and became Frankenstein. He went into a haunted house with a girl dressed as a hooker named Cyndy. Davy became scared and started crying so Cyndy pulls him to her chest to comfort him. A highschool boy saw this and was extremely immature about it, saying they were doing it. That is definitely what a highschool boy would think was happening. What made me mad was that Cyndy was trying to help Davy and he doesn't deny what people thought happened in the haunted house. Davy goes trick or treating and gets a lot of candy. After his father goes to sleep, Davy goes downstairs and eats candy and then puts his hand in the fireplace until he can no longer feel the pain. I didn't understand what caused Davy to do something so drastic. He is only in fourth grade! When I was in fourth grade, I got in trouble for talking while this annoying and obnoxious boy in my grade was talking. His name was Tommy and he always talked while others were talking. My teacher got really mad at me, I think she was having a really bad day, and sent me to the Vice Principal's office. The Vice Principal congratulated me on interrupting Tommy because he does that all the time. She wasn't being sarcastic, yet I was still extremely sad. I cried for an hour and it was humiliating because I had to sit at a table in the back of class and cry. I really hope no one remembers that! Still, that wasn't enough to make me go put my hand in a fire like Davy did. However, interrupting an annoying boy and dressing up as Hitler for Halloween are on completely different levels.
