She helps people, and cares for them. She is an amazing person to everyone. She shares her rations of food and puts other first before herself. Elena physically helps people. For example in my book she helped a woman named Ona when she gave birth to a baby girl. She even helped people when the soldiers spoke to them in Russian. Elena understood what they were saying, so she helped everyone to understand. When Elena was sick she tried not to show it because she wanted to be strong for everyone. Even when people were being arrogant she helped them anyway. She told them what they were saying was not nice and rude.

This book is about a fifteen year old girl whose family is taken. Lina’s family cared for everyone even if they were being obnoxious.They helped everyone whether they knew them or not.Lina’s family had open arms to everyone they met. People always have a chance to help others and we should show it more. Everyone deserves to be cared for and everyone should be
