Dear Diary,
It’s 1943 the soldiers are still standing on the corner of the street for three years every day we walk home after school.My parents have not told us a lot about the war yet.No one knows if the soldiers are coming to get Ellen or her parents.Her parents are with Peter is hiding them like we are to Ellen. one day me and ellen were racing after school because at school we have been having races so I want to practice.So I said,” ready set Go!!” I shouted.My hair was flying in the wind bouncing on my shoulders my hair felt like freedom when it was flying in the wind when bouncing it felt like the hard times we have been having.So I’m leading the pack I was runing so fast my shoes came untied.We passed little shops and cafes.We finally came came to a stop a tall soldier standing and said, “Halte”. We both stopped my heart was pounding Ellen finally came up behind me.
The soldiers were talking to us and he said,” Why we were running.” I said because I had a race at school and I wanted to practiced.We kept on talking after that we went home and told mama.we were scared half to death.
until next time,
love Annamarie
