Mrs. Ristovski Character Analysis

There were rumors, rumors going around the camp. The parents were going to be sent east, to work….She repeated the conversation to her mother. She said no… They couldn’t separate the children from the parents. In that sheltered gentle life that seemed far away, the girl would have believed her mother…. But in this harsh new world, the girl felt she had grown up. She felt older than her mother. (Rosnay 70-71)

Though Bill claims that “in this journey we call life, we are ultimately alone”, it is clear that as he allows for people to enter his life, and this notion of loneliness becomes a state of mind rather than an actual reality (p. 207). But a conflict arises again and again throughout Bill’s journey as there’s disconnect with the people he attempts to connect with. Unlike his local friends, Bill is an American that has the privilege that none of the citizens in Sarajevo really have- the privilege to leave Sarajevo. Even when he is sleeping on the floor of the towers with an empty stomach and the sound of artillery overhead he still can’t shake the feeling that he is somehow like the “war tourists” he despises so much (p. 107). In Sarajevo “there was no time for grief or complex thoughts”, which

Gurov, dissatisfied with his monotonous life, goes to Anna because he needs the scandal to relieve a numbness that has taken effect, not because he loves her. She merely reciprocates his affection, not out of love, but to escape the entrapment she feels from her marriage. In a subtle climax during his return home to Moscow, Gurov feels the agonizing absence of anyone he can talk to meaningfully about the personal secrecies of his life, specifically Anna. This intolerable sensation sends him to “S—,“ to find her. Only when Gurov is standing outside Anna’s house does he actually relate to her situation and form some genuine connection. “Just opposite the house stretched a long grey fence adorned with nails…One would run away from a fence like that," thought Gurov, looking from the fence to the windows of the house and back again…He loathed the grey fence more and more, and by now he thought irritably that Anna Sergeyevna had forgotten him, and was perhaps already amusing herself with some one else, and that that was very natural in a young woman who had nothing to look at from morning till night but that confounded fence” (p.230). With Gurov’s realization, he actually escapes his fenced in world and partially enters her miserable one. In sharing a connection, their emotions and psychological needs start to blend together and they become entrapped by the same fence, where inside, the two of them are alone and vulnerable in a shared arena. This isolation

Riva realized that if she kept on worrying about what is going to happen in the future it would be depressing; instead she thought about when she was going to be reunited with her family. *******FINISH***********

While reviewing the books characters I found myself the most in Ruthie. She is always energetic and ready for whatever life has to throw at her. That has really resonated with me because I am always looking forward to what’s next. When I’m with my friends I always seem to be the person to get people out of their comfort zones and get them excited for what’s to come. Although she is a child; she has two sides. One side attempting at the adult hood while the other is being an absolute nuisance, mainly by snitching on Winfield. Although at times I am also thought to be a nuisance with the occasional witty comment or sarcastic remark. Ruthie’s flaws are her momentary lapses of maturity, although to her credit she is only a child. Even though I
