3. Time Line 1904, Harry buys an air plane to make publicity stunts with. This shows courage because airplanes were still new and very dangerous to fly. 1916, Harry runs away from home with his brother Theo. This shows courage because they don’t have any money or food and they do not know were they would end up.

4. Time Line 1915 Harry gets into the movie business. Open up his own studios. This courage because movies were new and people still weren’t into going to the movies so he was taking a gamble that might not pay off. 1909, Harry moves to Australia to perform there. Harry shows courage because he does not know weather the people of Australia will come to his show. 1914, harry develops a new trick called the Chinese water torture cell. This shows courage because this trick is highly dangerous and with no safety fall backs.

5. Color Collage I chose the colors orange and blue because of some of the traits that were shown in the book. I chose orange because Harry shows cunning when he learns how to escape from the handcuffs that people bring up in the show on the spot. Also the book showed that he was ambitious trying to find the newest and best tricks to get a crowd. I chose Blue because in the book harry shows that he is confident when he first starts flying airplanes and how he never looses his edge. A seconded example Is that he is persistent. He shows this trait when he uncover the miss doing of spirit speakers and how they trick people. Even though he was put down on several occasions.

6. The Escape Cafe Straight Jacket Sausages Harry might eat these beef sausages because he was born in Hungary into a Jewish family and beef sausage was very popular with Jewish families. The Killer Steak One of the most popular dishes in Hungary is steak covered in a light cream sauce and then cooked over a grill. Handcuff Pasta Harry might eat this because it would have given him much needed energy for his daring escapes.
