The story can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust by comparing them feeling scared while they hiding. It tells them what can happen and why it will happen if they were caught. It even explains how it all started. As stated in the text "In Europe, during World War 2, people looked the other way while terrible things happened." This reveals that when the Nazis came around people feared them. This story tells why.

The story is related to the Holocaust, when the animals first came across the terrible things they only took the birds for no particular reason like the Nazis did when they took the Jews for no reason at all. When they came back they took more animals and more after that just like how the Nazis slowly got rid of the Jews.

The story can be interpreted to reveal the hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust by comparing how scared they were when they were in hiding. Also not knowing if they are safe in all times, and the Nazi's took over the Jews by putting them in the concentration camps and abusing them.

The story can be interpreted to reveal the hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust by comparing the feeling they had when in hiding. In the story , "terrible things" it says how people looked the other way while terrible things happened. This reveals that obviously people were afraid when Nazis' came around. Also being abused gave them a horrible feeling of not being safe , when they weren't.

The allegory Terrible Things was related to the Holocaust because when the terrible things came over they took the animals and took them away, which is the same idea as when the Nazi's took people in groups to concentration camps. According to the Holocaust, the people went into hiding when the Nazi's came around and was related when little rabbit was hiding from the terrible things.

The story, Terrible Things, can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust by realizing that the animals in the forest may represent the people the Nazis hated most (Jews, blacks, gays, lesbians, people with mental illnesses, etc.). In the allegory, the rabbits pretend to not notice that the other animals had been taken away, and go back to their daily lifestyle, not understanding that they, too, would eventually be taken. This is exactly what happened in the Holocaust when people acted as if they didn't notice their neighbors were suddenly going missing.

The story "Terrible Things" by Eve Bunting is an allegory to the Nazi Holocaust because of the way the animals in the story were taken for possessing characteristics that others deemed wrongful when they truly weren't. Most, if not all, of the reasons that the terrible things took the animals didn't justify taking them at all. They were traits that seemed to specifically target the animals and is very similar to what the Nazi's did to anyone who wasn't pure German, white, able, or Christian. It also relates because in the story,everyone tries to find a reason as to why it was okay that the other animals were captured until the only one left was the bunny; much like how everyone that wasn't targeted by the Nazi Regime themselves did not want to get involved or try to help the Jewish which, in turn, provoked the Holocaust.

The story, " Terrible Things" by Eve Bunting can be interpreted as a hidden meaning about the Nazi's and the holocaust by each animal leaving one by one. Parents would tell their kids excuses to not worry themselves. The Nazi's took the Jews off to concentration camps like the "Terrible Things" took the animals a few at a time. Many tried not to pretend, it wasn't happening which led to no one helping. And just like the rabbit was hiding from the 'Terrible Things', many Jews hid as well from the Nazi's.

The story "Terrible Things" by Eve Bunting can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust because of the characters that were involved in the story which represented real people that were taken by the Nazi's during World War II. According to the allegory, the animals were terrified when they went into hiding because they knew what was happening in the world around them and just like how it happened in real life, the characters were taken away in groups by the terrible things which represented the Nazi's.

This story can be interpreted to the holocaust because of the terrible things that were taking the animals away. In the story they first came for the animals with feathers, then for animals with bushy tails, and lastly for animals that were white. Eventually all the animals were disappearing because of the terrible things, just like the Jews in the holocaust.

The story, Terrible Things, can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust because it compared the forest animals to the people that the Nazis disliked the most. For instance, just as the Nazis didn't have a reason for treating anybody else differently and torturing them within concentration camps, the "terrible things" never had a reason, they just came to take the creatures with alike characteristics at a time. The Nazis only took others with characteristics that seemed wrongful from their perspective, so they thought they should be treated and looked at differently.

The story, Terrible Things shows a meaning that is representing the dreadful time, the Holocaust. The author portrayed a image that the big darkness took away all the Jewish people to concentration camps and seperated from the general population. The rabbit, turtle, birds, and other animals were symbolic to other People the Nazis hated. The Nazis believed they were superior to all races and religions.

The story (Terrible Things) can be interpreted to reveal The nazi holocaust by the way they handled things.

As they started coming they started taking animals (People) who they don't think fit leaving the animals scared but grateful they weren't chosen first. But this wasn't the problem ,they were removing a certain population (jews) and (Germans) who they didn't fit there characteristics because to nazis your not safe if your not their own.

Instead, they were afraid to go against them because of the possible consequences they may receive.

In the story, the terrible things took animals because of there characteristics, also like Jews were taken because of there religious beliefs.

Nice comparisons Denzel. Although, I'm not sure I understand what you meant by "to leak a relativity."

In the fable "Terrible Things" the author makes connections to the Nazi Holocaust by using the forest animals and terrible things to represent different roles that were present during the Holocaust. In the story, when the terrible things came they would confiscate animals for reasons that made no logical sense, but because they were the terrible things no one stood up and protested. This was a lot like what happened in the Holocaust. Nazis would start by anyone with brown hair then brown eyes, and then anyone without blonde hair and blue eyes. People with blonde hair and blue eyes is a symbol for the white rabbits. Even though they believed they belonged there because they were the white rabbits, in the end the terrible things did come for them, simply because they are the terrible things. This shows similarities to how even the "purest" of the German race could still be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment by Nazis, otherwise known as the terrible things.

The story can be explained with an interpretation to reveal a hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust because in the story terrible things the animals plays in the role as the jewish people or the other people not known as Nazis. also the reason why the bunny wasnt caught was because the bunny wasthe one jews that were in hidding.

Hi Travia, be sure to proofread your work for clarity. Also, watch out for errors in convention.

The story, "terrible things" can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning of the Nazi Holocaust because the forest creatures represented the people that the Nazi saw with charecteristics that seemed wrongful from their point of view. For example, when the "terrible things" came for the animals with specified characteristics compared to all the people that the Nazis sent to concentration camps.

"Terrible things" interprets the Jewish people as the forest animals that got caught and the Terrible things as the Germans. This shows the relationship between the Nazi Holocaust and the fable Terrible things. During the Holocaust no one stood up and neither did any of the animals in the story.

I agree with you. No one stood up to them maybe because they were afraid of being taken with that person.

The story takes place in a clearing in the woods where various creatures live. The creatures all live contently together in the clearing until the day the Terrible Things come. First, the Terrible Things come for things with feathers, and everyone without feathers tries hard to show this fact. After the birds are gone from the clearing, taken by the Terrible Things, the rest of the animals discuss the negative aspects of the birds and how things in the clearing will be better without them. As the story continues, the same scenario happens with each set of animals, from the fish, to the squirrels, porcupines, and frogs, until one day the only creatures left in the clearing are the white rabbits.

The story interpretets and reveals a hidden image in the nazi holocaust because they were hiding and was scared of getting caught. The animals play a role as the jewish people. People with blonde hair and blue eyes is represents a white rabbit. They were afraid to go against or fight back with them because they were afraid of the consequences they might face.

The story can be interpreted to reveal the hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust be comparing the animals used un the story to the people that didn't have the same point of view that the Nazi have. That means that the terrible things for the animals where the same for the people when the Nazi send them to concentration camps. So like the Nazi's hate all animals in the story them hate the people in real life.

The story is related to the holocaust because it explains how they were scared and that they went into hiding. It also shows young children to stand up for what they think is right.

This story can be interpreted on how badley things were in the Natzi Holocost the passage was very detailed to show how there were so many disasters going on. The animals are examples of the Holocost and how it was. All of the animals show the view point of the Natzi Holocost.

The story can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning about the Nazi Holocaust by showing how scared the animals and the people might have been. The animals were afraid of being taken away just like the Jews. In the Holocaust they were constantly taking people because they were Jews and the same happens in "Terrible Things" when the animals were being taken away because of how they look.

i think terrible things represents the silence of seeing fellow Jews get took imprisoned and killed. it represents the Nazis taking away Jews and no one was brave enough to do something about it
