Would you have wanted to escape to the west?

I would not try to escape to the west. Even if my family or friends were on the other side I would not want to risk dying. Theres too many traps and watch towers to where I would bound to be caught. I would just try to find a way to live life on the other side of the wall for the time being and let other people take action in trying to knock it down. -BL

Life was pretty strict in the east. You were requested to have a job or else you get arrested for it. Everyday was very different depending on you age and where you live. There government belief was Communism. Besides that the east had more sense of community with the people.

The wall had divided their family, friends, and loved ones. The wall also caused people to lose their jobs if they had been trapped on the wrong side. People also started to demand more personal and political freedoms.  -BL

Even if my parents, or best friends, or siblings weren't sitting on the other side waiting for me, I still would be driven towards getting to the other side because maybe politically I agree with the opposite side more, or maybe the other side has more resources and sitting on one side of the wall for 40 years would make me go a bit crazy.

The political system had an influence on each life. Life was very oraginzed for the people living in the West side. For children, they went to school, studied, and got a job. Having fun by going out, wasn't really an option for them. They were also very optimistic!  East was the communist.

Germany was split into 2 different sections because it was after World War 2, and different countries had different interpretations on what to do with the land.
