A Night Divided is a book about the main character Gerta being separated from her family and trying to reunite with them. The themes include family, loneliness, hope, cold war, rise of communism, and European history. I decided for my symbol I wanted to use The Beatles because they were a sensation in lots of places in the world. This book is historical fiction in a first person view, you see the point of view used because we can hear Gerta’s thoughts and ideas. We follow Gerta through the whole book and see her go through many hard times living in Soviet controlled Germany, Her family get separated the day the wall goes up. She lives with her mom and her older brother Fritz, while her dad and older brother Dominic are stuck in the west. You see her and the rest of her family in the east build a tunnel to escape and find a new life in the west.
