In this section of “Between the Shades Of Gray“, Ona’s baby passes and they have to throw it out of the bathroom hole. She is an emotional wreck. About a month after that she is still grieving and one of the NKVD’s can’t stand it anymore so he just shoots her. They are on day 42. Lina, her mother, her brother Jonas, and everyone else that is in her train car, are brought to a little town of huts. They were not bought like the other train cars full of people, so they had to go into “hard labor”. The commander tells them that they have to sign a paper that says they have to agree to 25 years of labor for the Soviets and they have to sign it as criminals. No one signs it, yet no one is killed. They just want them to do all their dirty work. Near the end of the section it reveals that Andrius and his mother are working for the Soviets. Lina feels very betrayed. I predict that they will spend about another month there then go somewhere else and have to work there too. Lina’s internal conflict would be that she has to work for the Soviets and see things no one should ever see. She has to make decisions that a 15 year old shouldn’t have to make that could depend on her life. Like if she should walk over to her friends hut and try not to get caught or take food for herself while harvesting for the Soviets. “‘You’re giving me cigarettes?’ I asked ‘Well, what didn’t you think, that I had a roasted duck in my pocket?'” This was one of my favorite parts because Andrius is being really “smart” with her and sarcastic and it kind of made me laugh.
