Is It Night Or Day(Summary&Conflicts) Blog #1

In my book " Is It Night Or Day”, we meet a twelve-year old girl Edith. Her family has been living through some tough times. This book takes time when Hitler was taking over Germany and other people who weren't German were discriminated; for example, Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, and Disabled People. Edith never knew what was going on. The only thing she knew is that nobody like her and that her sister, Betty, moved to America. One day the discrimination became worse. Jews weren't able to go to public places. Like pools, cinema, or ride their bikes. So Edith parents knew that it was a sign, Vati and Mutti, were discussing on what they should do and where they should go, but the problem was that Vati mother never wanted to leave. She says," I was born in Germany and I will die in Germany." This was a big problem because if she wouldn't leave then so wouldn't Vati. So for know Vati plans is to take Edith to America. Would she ever see her parents again? Who would she live with?
In my book there is a lot of conflicts but one that really stuck out was external conflict, Man Vs. Society. I think its man vs. society because the book takes place during the time that Hitler was a live, so it was tough for Edith family since she was a Jew. For example in the book it says,"Mr. Lutz the man who owned the small movie theater just two blocks from our house, wouldn’t let me in. “Not today” he snapped, “Not tomorrow. Never, never again.” This is important because it shows how Jews were left out because of their religion. Another example is another public place where Edith would always go to, the pool. In the book it says, “Even though we were still living comfortably in our own house, a sign had gone up at our local swimming area: Jews not welcome here.” This is important because it’s another example on how unfair the Jews were treated.
