part 2

            This book just keeps on getting better and better. In this part of the book many questions are answered. The biggest question I had during part one was: Why is Hanna so obsessed with Michael reading to her? And now, I have the answer; Hanna is illiterate. This actually made me feel really bad for her, but it really upset me that she would not tell the court this detail. If she would just tell the court then all of her convictions would go away! It would have been impossible for her to write that because she is not capable of writing! At first, I had a feeling that Hanna was going to get involved with the Nazi regime, so the fact that she was in court for this crime did not surprise me at all. Her working in the Nazi regime makes complete sense to me. When she was with Michael she was always so dominating and weirdly angry.  I felt bad for Michael because he had to find out that the woman he was so infatuated with was actually not a good person at all.

            It really is confusing to me as to why Hanna kept this a secret from the court. Would she actually rather have her reputation and go to jail than just be free with the secret out? It is not like the court is going to go around telling everyone that Hanna is illiterate. I feel bad for Michael because he had just gotten over the fact that he was never going to see her again, and then she comes back into his life, and then she gets sentenced to jail for life. All of this is just not working out for the both of them. Their relationship was doomed for the beginning, but I do not know why I was actually rooting for them to succeed.
