I THINK THAT THIS IS VERY POWERFUL because whenever we do something good, sometimes we want people to see us so that we are congratulated and praised. But doing something when nobody is looking is the most important to do ever.

These lines really stood out to me because they show how serious the situation was, and how inconsiderate the NKVD were about the lives of other people.

I thought about Papa. Did he know about the war? Did he know we all had lice? Did he know we were huddled together with a dead baby? Did he know how much I missed him?

This line stands out because it shows how much Lina is worried about being separated from her papa. She doesn’t know what is gonna happen to him.

This is powerful to me because she is saying all these things about the NKVD and she could get in very much trouble for saying things like that.

I stared at Anrius. Dried blood caked his teeth and the corner of his lips. His jaw was swollen. I hated them, the NKVD and the Soviets.

I liked this because Andrius is telling the old man how he feels but he is a little mean about it which is why this part is so good.

This quote really impacted me a lot, it really shows how her father stands up for what he believes, which most of the people don’t have enough courage to do so.

I thought this was a really powerful line because it showed a sophisticated morale that Lina’s father followed. It is also a value that everyone needs to learn because standing up for what’s right is what will make the difference in this world.

“Well, we’re not,” said Mother. “We’re not sick. We’ll soon be back in our homes. When the rest of the world finds out what the Soviets are doing, they will put an end to this.” Would they?

It makes you think, sure, at that time people realized what Stalin and the Soviets did and were mad, but now, barely anyone talks about this or even remembers this.

This is a great quote because if you have expectation for reward it shows that you are greedy and don't really care about the  cause.

I thought about Papa. Did he know about the war? Did he know we all had lice? Did he know we were huddled together with a dead baby? Did he know how much I missed him? I clutched the handkerchief in my pocket, thinking of Papa’s smiling face.

“What are you crying for?” complained the bald man. “You knew it was going to happen. What was the baby going to eat, lice? You’re all imbeciles. The thing is better off. When I die, if you’re smart you’ll 🤬 if you all want to survive so badly.”

"When the rest of the world finds out what the soviets are doing, they will put an end to all of this”.

Because it's showing her how her separation from her father is affecting her and how she is missing him dearly and unsure about what is going to happen to him, her family and everyone that she is stuck with for the time being.

This quote establishes how Lina's father fully believes in doing the right thing, even if he isn't rewarded for his actions. It also shows the goodness and righteousness of Mr. Vilkas.

It shows how little the man cares for others and just simply wants to survive

I think that this is very powerful because it shows hope amidst a huge crisis. All these things are happening to them but they are still holding on because they know someone will come.
