part two (done)

            Well I thought part one would lead into part two quite similarly but I was wrong. The whole story has changed completely thus making part two a little bit less exciting than part one. Part two lacks the sexual arousal that was constantly provided to us in part one. That is what I miss the most; however, I still did enjoy reading part two. As predicted Hannah did not return and the boy was left in sorrow. After finishing part one I thought that he was going to be hurt due to her absence but I was wrong. The boy actually turned out to be quite successful; he forgot about Hannah and was getting involved in many seminars that discussed the significance of the Nazi trials. Michael was an active participant in these trials. He even went and witnessed it first hand. The strange thing about this was that he saw Hannah at the defendant stand at the trials. She was being charged with war crimes and at first I couldn’t believe it but later after thinking about it all makes sense. She never told anyone about her past even Michael whom she referred to as a kid. Michael was also surprised and even disgusted with having ever been with a person that was an active participant in the SS. She was responsible for the deaths of many people. After finding out who she really was Michael felt no contempt, and sorrow for Hannah. He felt nothing as stated in the book. I am actually glad he is done with her; I was waiting for this to happen in part one. A night in bed is okay but when it becomes extensive and involves her taking advantage of you then it has to stop. He later discovers this and becomes angry with himself about it. I can’t wait to see what happens in part three!
