The book so far is interesting. Its about a young girl who is living during a period of time when war was taking place. Sometimes when you read a book, short story, poem , or any type of work its something that always grab your attention. In this book i am pulled towards the main character Rachel, i feel bad for her. I think i am pulled towards her because of how she has to live her life at such a young age. She has no say so in anything thats going on. All she know is every time her dad say lets go its time to hide she have to hurry and find a place. She had to switch schools because the germans no longer were allowing jewish kids to go to that school anymore. Rachel is confused she dont know if she can be proud that she is a jew or hide what she is.
I can somewhat feel her pain even though i have not lived during a bad war like that. The reason why i feel like i can feel her pain is because i know how it feels to change schools and make new friends. I changed schools in the middle of the year i was never in one school for more than one year. I also know how she feels when it come to being scared to let people know her race. I had a friend who always had problems because of her race. I was there for her because i dont believe your skin color or race should affect how you get treated.
Even though im not that far in my book i think its going to be a big change in the story. I believe Rachel will get to live a life like a regular child. Hopefully she gets to play with any child nomatter what their race is.

Very developed response Reese. Rachel sounds powerless. That's too bad that you had to move around a lot when you're younger. It's tough to be repeatedly put in those situations. Unfortunately, this is an increasing phenomenon in our world.
