I think Josef was very sad, because he lost his wife and a son. But the son was alive. Josef found his son and the son found his father. I think Josef and the son were very happy when they met in Plague. It is right to leave his home town for freedom. I think Josef and his wife are bravery. I felt Josef’s love for his family and I thought a family has a bound.

I was surprised to read this book because it was contrary to my expectation. I thought Gray was good man, but he wasn’t. Kim can drive a truck. Andy can speak French and read a map. I was interested in helping each other. They fight against evil. I think I must do so. We live with many people, they all have their specialty. So I want to cooperate with many people to fight against evil.

I like Adam because he is an honest person. He was mistaken in the park, but he did something different. And he found a new job that he wanted to do. I also had thought that every day was the same like him. Every day I only go to school. But there are many interesting things in my life. I would like to do something different and find delightful days.
