Post war
I feel like the book is well organized.the story sequence is well planned to me. It's taken you through some of ever day life back then. I don't it so interesting. Some things in the book are common to know. How people Rob because there poor and need food or money. No it's not to the extreme as before I would hope. But there are similarities. Every body does What they do for a reason. The live the way they did before the war calm because they were able to. They went through a harsh time there after because it was war and people were dying around. Some people stole because they lost everything during the war and times were tuff. Similar to some poor people now. Who have nothing and sometimes steal it try to get things the best way they can. Life circumstances guides some peoples choices and affects them. Post war stories let you know what it's like.

I agree with you Shanaya. The story's are very complementary to what is being told, the life if someone during the war. Before it starts, while it's proceeding, and after. And in these story's I see one common theme and that is with desperate times come desperate measures and a perfect representation is the bicycle thieves because both cases had some sense of desperation.
