Honduras system is not the best one in comparison of other countries but fair enough. My dad and his brothers came to Honduras with no parents and no money. His desire and ambition to work and succeed was high and that took him to great things. He know can sustain a family, has several jobs and companies that he created through hard and tough work. He knew that things wouldn't fall from the sky like other things. What I don't like about Honduras is that poor people who didn't choose to live or to born like that they are asking for money instead of selling newspapers, works at supermarket they don't have ambition to have a better future. Liesel could have asked for food since stealing is a sin and is in the 10 mandaments that were created for a reason. If Hondurans would have the desire to be better to give a good future to their childrens this would be a better country. No rich people have been lazy, all of them are ambitious and have desire to work and be better each time.

Anita's Diary

July 30, 1961

A Sunday morning, Anita's most boring day so far. The Mancinis drove out to the beach to see the kids, so she's alone and bored. Anita has just read, take naps, look at magazines and eat some leftover waterbreads. She starts writting in her diary, she heard a huge roar in the backyard like if it was an airplane and thinks they're coming through the house. Her hands start tho shake, she's nervous and writes this for a record and just so the world could know.

Before we were free/ Paragraph

I think she's keeping things to herself since she doesn't have her sister and mother to tell things, she is shy with them to tell some private stuff. Also anita can is in a kind of panic since she needs to be most of the time in a closet that is really small may cause clautrofobia. Anita is also realizing she is brave and gaining strenght by staying alone without seeing her family until she is free and she doesnt surrender, what at the beginning of the story she said she wasn't brave. Another this is that Anita is sad becuase she can't see her family and worried because of what it might happen to her family. I would get this effects since I don't like to be in a small place for hours and not seing my family and know what will happen. Having nobody to socialize or see my friends will cause the same effects. Maybe the unforseen effects is that she doesn't eats or if she cryied. It happen in history when Anne Frank needed to hide from the natzis and she hided in her house and wrote all her feeling and story in her diary.
