Possible First Paper Topic

Today in class we started an exercise called the "Five Finger Exercise." From "The Book Thief" I chose to do mine on the scene where the Jews are marched to Dachau and Hans tries to help a man by offering him bread. By trying to be extremely detailed, I thought that maybe you could take the scene from Liesel's eyes and stretch it into a paper or even a short story. It might sound kind of weird, but I took up a good chunk of the page just describing the scenery before the children actually saw the Jews. I don't know how the rubric would be set up, yet I still think it would be kind of interesting (or even fun) to do.
