Long Answer

1. The “new green grass” of the springtime sets the early mood, in terms of noting a pattern of thawing “the earth that was cold and frozen all winter” to invite “new life” that can reach “toward the sun” (5). Nature’s harsh winters seem to hurt Riva and her family, no matter where they go. The cold causes pain, injury, and death in the ghetto and in the labor camps. No matter the season, and no matter where Riva is, the sun seems to shine down, as if unaware of the suffering that those below it feel.
