Journal Entry 1

Edith Hjorth Fengel's Journal

I made it to Denmark. It took so long, but I still don't think he should of done that.

If my husband and child are dead, I would of liked to have died with them.

Since I am alone now, I won't kill myself. If I were to die, I would want to die with them.

I am so sad.
 The fact that I will never ever see them again will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I don't think I will ever smile again. I have seen too much, to many horrible things.

 I suppose should call Sophie, to tell her that I'm still alive.

Yes, I will do that right now.

Sophie was so happy that I am alive. when I told her that my husband and child were dead, she mourned.

I would cry with her, but I have cried so much already that I cannot cry any more.

I guess that means I am not full of tears.

 Grief seems to have replaced it.
 Sophie said that she felt so sorry for me.
She said she wouldn't be able to live properly if she were in my position.
I can't blame her.
I don't know how I can live with this.
I suppose that I will have to go with it.

I might be able to smile again.

Journal entry 1 Reflection

I chose Edith Hjorth Fengel as a person to make a journal of because she made the most sense in my mind because she had gone through so much. As she became alone, she could make a diary to have someone else to be friends with.

I chose the time of her journal entry to be after she escaped from prison. Since the story doesn't fit any time, I couldn't put any date in. I chose that because it would make sense for her to do all those things after she got away from prison. I came up with the ideas for the journal entry when rereading the story to find Sophie Bang's name. Then I thought that she should get into a journal.
