In Chapter 3 Irene explains how the war started and progressed in her eyes. Irene recalled walking across an empty parking lot by her nursing school when she saw planes overhead. Minutes later she felt the explosions.... This was the start of the war. Shortly after the first bombing she found out Germany and the Soviet Union were attacking Poland. Irene rushed to help at the hospital. She stayed there for four days helping the wounded until she volunteered to help a group of soldiers who were fighting the Germans. She nursed all the wounded soldiers as she watched what was happening to her country in awe. The chapter ended by Irene helping a wounded solider in a train headed toward Russia. She is still completely dazed and wonders what will happen to her family and country. I think this chapter is important because it sets the pace of the story. The readers can now tell what Irene is going to be dealing with for the next few years of the war.
