If I Should Die Before I Wake
I'm starting to understand this book a lot more now, because it doesn't switch from Chana and Hilary as much. I think it's because Chana is going through something much bigger than Hilary, so it fills up more chapters. I'm still not really sure if this is a dream or not, but it doesn't feel like Hilary is dreaming; it seems like she is actually another person.
Chapter 12 ends with Chana's mother and sister being taken away from the ghetto, to somewhere probably worse. Chana is left with her Grandmother in the ghetto and I think they might be sent to a concentration camp soon. It's really sad reading this book, because it's not talking about Jews in general. You get to see what Chana personally goes through, and how hard it is for her. It hasn't gotten that bad though, I'm sure it could be a lot worse. Of course, that comes from someone who could never even imagine who terrible that must be, so to Chana, it couldn't get worse. Her father was shot by the nazis, she as been sent to a disgusting place to live, her baby sister had to be sent away somewhere else, her mother and other sister were just taken away and it can only get worse from here. I ope Hilary doesn't die in the end, because this experience is teaching her so much and it would be a total waste for her to not get the chance to change herself.
