Getting to know more about Hide and Seek

In every book there is a conflict. In this book Hide and Seek the conflict is the Germans is taking over everything that the Jewish people own including there lives. During this period of time there had to be many decisions made. The main character Rachel had to make many smart decisions. When she was in hiding she had to make decisions for her and her little sister because they were separated from there parents. They moved from house to house getting to know new people who they had to call aunt and uncle. The conflict in the book really had an impact on the characters that were Jewish. Rachel had to make a decision everyday to get through her daily life. The decisions that she were making were smart. Rachel moved in with people not knowing if they were Germans, she had to do what she was told to do if she wanted to live. She didn't know anything about the people that she had to live with.

If i had to be in Rachel position making the same decisions she made i honestly don't think i would have made those same smart choices. I would have refused a couple of times to keep switching hiding places. I would have been scared to just go live with a stranger even if it was to save my life. I would not have been thinking at that time that it was only to save my life like Rachel did. The reason me and Rachel would have had different decisions is because Rachel think before she really reacts to what she is thinking about doing or what she wants to say before she reacts to the situation but me i go with my first instincts because i believe that if i think to long about a situation it might be to late when i answer and the decision is already made for me,
