If I Should Die Before I Wake
I think I might need another book to read, since it's a little hard to do a response on one chapter..
Anyways, in chapter 8, Hilary is still Chana and her family is moved into a rotting apartment with lots of other Jews. I think they're making less of a deal that it really is, because they're acting like they don't realize that Nazi soldiers are everywhere. Chana's family never says they're scared or anything, but I know I would be if I was taken out of my home by the Nazis. Chana's family all have to work, but her and her sister must go to school. it turns out that later, Chana and her mom find out her little sister, Anya, is finding pieces of coal in the trash and selling them for food. a few days later, a couple moves into the small apartment with Chana's family. They are extremely demanding, and Chana doesn't like them at all. They kind of reminded me of the couple Anne Frank had to live with, because they were demanding and rude, like the people Chana has to deal with. They both demand a cot for each of them, because they are both "old" and they steal bread in the middle of the night to get more food. Since there are only two cots, they only get one and Chana finds out what they do at night soon, so everyone tries to save their food so they won't starve. At the end of chapter 8, something terrible happens to Chana, and I wonder how she'll deal with it.
