Throughout history people have done terrible things, such as the holocaust. Although there are many good people there was more people that stood around on the sidelines and did nothing to help the people getting affected by the Nazis. It is effedent that Holocaust survivor Fred Gross, and Terrible Things author Eve Bunting think this as well. They each teach this generation and the next when you know to help. But they use different styles, such as an allegory and a video. The picture book Terrible Things is an allegory which means it has a hidden meaning, in this case it is that this story is equivalent to the holocaust. It is about how one day terrible things come to Little Rabbits clearing and take one animal, then the next etcetera
