If I should die before I wake Blog #3

Today in class we were put into our new book clubs. The book I am now reading is If I die before I wake by Han Nolan. The book is about two teenage girls named Hilary and Chana. Hilary, who hates Jews, is in a Jewish hospital because of a motor cycling accident that she got into coming home from her Aryan Warriors meeting. Chana, a Jewish girl, is struggling to survive the Lodz Ghetto. Hillary often finds herself going in and out of living Chana and her own life because of a coma. There are two settings in the story. The first is in a Jewish Hospital that Hilary was taken to after the motorcycle accident. The second setting in the story takes place in the Lodz Ghetto, in Poland. Hilary, although in a coma, continues to generate hateful remarks about the Jews but she recognizes the irony of her being in a Jewish Hospital and Jewish doctors who are working to save her life. Hilary's problem in the story is that even though she hates Jews, she finds herself in a Jewish hospital and sees herself continually transporting between her life and Chana's. Chana's problem in the story is that she is living in a Ghetto and losing family and friends quickly. Another problem is that at any point in time the Nazis could come and take her family to a death camp. Chana is also struggling with the harsh accommodations that they have to live with. Will Hilary get better and live only one life or will she stay in the state that she is in. Another question that I have is whether or not Chana will be able to survive the life that she has recently been put into.
