The Boy Who Dared - Prompt 3
In the Boy Who Dared by Susan Campbell Bartoletti, what motivates Helmuth to keep selling the pamphlets and listen to the radio is he wants people to know the truth. Helmuth sells the pamphlets to try and let people know what really is going on in the war that Hitler has started, he listens to the radio to gather information to put in his pamphlets. In the text it says, "This is a war against lies, If we want to win, we can't attack in straight lines.We'll leave leaflets (pamphlets) everywhere - in telephone booths, mailboxes, apartment houses - for people to read and pass on, like a chain letter." This quote shows me that Helmuth wanted to sell pamphlets to people, so they can read them and pass it on to other people, so they can find out the truth about Hitler.
