Favorite Character

Lola has to definitely be my favorite character so far. I think I can relate to her more just because she is young and close to my age. She has such vibrant but reserved personality that seems more welcoming than characters like Hanna or Ozren. Because she is so young and seems so close to her family, it made me feel more sympathetic when her family became victims of the Nazi’s cruel intentions. I admire how strong she is throughout the time in the odred. Her courage from the time she lost her friends, Ina and Isak, to the time when she arrived back home alone, never went away. As a character, I feel closer to her just because we know more about her. The fact that her story is so touching makes you feel more in touch with Lola. Even at the end of her story, she still shows strength being left behind while the horror continues at home. I hope the rest of the stories and their characters are as moving as Lola’s.
