As i read the second part of Gerdas story, it has brought me to realize how deprssing her life is. Some of the things Gerda has indured i could not imagine going through. One horrific event in the book was the death march. when Gerda was chosen to walk all the way to a diffrent camp with the lack of proper clothing, an energy i could imagine how difficult that was. The fact that she wittnesed so many deaths why taken her walk i could only think that she would think she were next. Also Gerda is very lucky to have chosen the right pair of shoes for her own well being. When Gerda saw Ilse die in death march , i felt vey sad for her. If i were to see my close friend die trying to accomplish the same goal i was, just to make it alive. I would lose all hope. Even though she could have gave up on hope as well, she didnt. Gerda made it through the march and the war. which shows how strong she was and how in the end her life turned around for the better.
