The Story Of Blima

The book covers Blima's life before, during, and after the Holocaust. The years of1936 and 1947, she was captured off the street of her hometown. Blima is imprisoned and  forced live her life in labor camps for the majority of the war.The book mainly focuses on Blima's attempts toget back on her feet after being freed. Later on she found her way back into a normal life and went on to get married after moving to America.

"I jump forward as if by a spark and join the others." (p. 65) This quote identifies the literary element of imagery. The quote helps the overall development of the theme because it is exlpaining that the jews have to be on top of what they are suppose to be doing and not fool around. They are almost like robots doing what the Nazis whated, when they wanted. 

Overall I enjoed rreading this book. Some strenghts of the book was that even though its a story about the holocaust, the book goes into depth about Blima's later life and how she dealt with things in order to move on a live and normal life. Also even though it was heartbreaking to read, it is a good way to somewhat understand what the jewish people went through during this time and how they copped with the emotions they were left with.
