  1. It’s Story Time… Day 1

  2. Do you know who this is? Day 1

  3. Hitler's First PhotographWislawa Szymborska And who's this little fellow in his itty-bitty robe? That's tiny baby Adolf, the Hittler's little boy! Will he grow up to be an LL.D.? Or a tenor in Vienna's Opera House? Whose teensy hand is this, whose little ear and eye and nose? Whose tummy full of milk, we just don't know: printer's, doctor's, merchant's, priest's? Where will those tootsy-wootsies finally wander? To garden, to school, to an office, to a bride, maybe to the Burgermeister's daughter? Day 1

  4. Hitler's First PhotographWislawa Szymborska Precious little angel, mommy's sunshine, honeybun, while he was being born a year ago, there was no death of signs on the earth and in the sky: spring sun, geraniums in windows, the organ-grinder's music in the yard, a lucky fortune wrapped in rosy paper, then just before the labor his mother's fateful dream: a dove seen in dream means joyful news, if it is caught, a long-awaited guest will come. Knock knock, who's there, it's Adolf's heartchen knocking. Day 1

  5. Hitler's First PhotographWislawa Szymborska A little pacifier, diaper, rattle, bib, our bouncing boy, thank God and knock on wood, is well, looks just like his folks, like a kitten in a basket, like the tots in every other family album. Shush, let's not start crying, sugar, the camera will click from under that black hood. The Klinger Atelier, Grabenstrasse, Braunau, and Braunau is small but worthy town, honest businesses, obliging neighbors, smell of yeast dough, of gray soap. No one hears howling dogs, or fate's footsteps. A history teacher loosens his collar and yawns over homework. Day 1

  14. To The Little Polish Boy Standing With His Arms Up • Why did the poet choose the little boy as the focus of his poem? • What is happening to the boy? Why are rifles pointed at him? Compare and contrast the little boy and the men holding the rifles. If one could describe the little Polish boy as ‘innocent, harmless, helpless and defenseless,’ how might the soldiers be described? What about the others portrayed in the poster? • What experiences and emotions would make you want to paint a portrait of someone or write a concerto about him or her? What would be the motive for doing that? Why would the concerto include both the little boy and the world who said nothing? Wouldn’t it be sufficient to write a concerto exclusively about the little boy? • Why would the author make a paining ten million miles high? Would it be possible to avoid seeing a paining that large? What message would the size of the painting convey? What effect would it have on the viewer? Day 18
