Major struggles
Since ceasefire is accepted, Nadja's feeling is hard to describe. No feeling, as if she forgot how to express. (p.76)
Even ceasefire is accepted, there is blood and sirens. The aggressors were still working and a lot of people were killed. Nadja could go out more than before the ceasefire, but she was afraid of going out and stayed home most of time. (p.90) Picture is from her diary of the day.
"No water, no electricity, no gas" (p. 33)
Nadja's life was getting worse and also lack of food, so Nadja, her mother and her father exchanged their ideas and survived.
Nadja got permission to go to the US, and in order to do that she has to go through the tunnel, but she hasn’t be allowed to go through tunnel. (p.106)
