I have lived a thousand years book response


Have you ever been trapped somewhere and you felt like there was no way out? In the story, I have lived a thousand years, by Livia Bitton-Jackson, a girl named Elli has been through it all, and comes even closer to her friends and family. Elli realizes that you can do anything when you really want it.
While fighting to stay alive along with her family, I really like the main character. Her name is Elli. She’s strong and determined. I also like the plot of the story. At the beginning she is a young girl, who is carefree and who loves life. But throughout the story, her personality changes.
At first, when I got this book, I thought it is going to be a typical holocaust predicament, but as I was about to finish the book, I realized how wrong I was. I realized that Elli has gone through a hard time as a young kid. Elli has such strong bravery. This book also helped me to think about the little things in life. This book gives you a little bit of depression but you will thank God for what you have.
         Therefore, you should think about all the little things that happen in life, and just be thankful for what you have. Whenever life knocks you down, get back up and just shake it off. Everything happens for a reason.
