=EXPOSITION/INCITING INCIDENT=

"Mom, when can we eat?" Kotenok, the smart, sensitive, thirteen year old girl asked her mother as if she were able to cry enough tears that could fill up a river. She had big brown eyes and golden, blond hair. She always wore pig tales and the same pink jumper every day.

"Not until we become free. Sargeant Stalin has taken all of our food and money." Kotenok's depressed, light colored headed mother replied back to her. The land that the Ukraines lived on was deserted, dirty, dry, and extremely poor.

May 11, 1928 and Joseph Stalin was the ruler of the USSR and Ukraine. The Ukrainian people didn't like him. He was ruining their lives. They were very unhappy. The Ukrainians kept insisting for freedom. He wanted to rule the people of Ukraine.

At this time, Pylyp was living with his mother and two sisters. His father was killed from a deadly disease. Pylyp was very active, funny, friendly, and talkative. He was also very expressive and outgoing. The land that he lived in was the same as Kotenok's but it was just in a different location.

"I hate this. Why couldn't we just be free. All we were doing was asking for freedm," Pylyp said.

"It's ok, honey. We'll get through it together," Pylyp's short, thin mother answered.

=RISING ACTION=

It was 12:00 that morning when the Ukraines were about to experience the worst event in their lives. All Ukrainians were invaded by Joseph Stalin and his troops.

"Mama, what's going on?" Kotenok pleaded to her mother.

"Just hold my hand and we will see what's happening," said Kotenok's worried mother.

"Mommy! Don't leave me!" Shouted Pylyp as he was being pulled away from his mother and two older sisters.

"Just take care of yourself. It'll be alright. We will meet again soon." screamed Pylyp's mother and sister as they were being pulled the opposite way. Pylyp had the worst thought in his head that he would never see his family again.

Only a few minutes later, Kotenok was taken away from her family too and was moved to a small shack in the woods. Then, Pylyp was later thrown into the same shack as Kotenok. Coincidentally, Kotenok and Pylyp ended up in the same shack with hundred and hundreds or other depresed children taken away from their fmailies. They all had the same depressed thought that the rest of their famailies were going to die, and they were never going to see them again.

Pylyp and Kotenok didn't know that they were in the same shack and knew each other. One day in the shack Pylyp banged into tor Kotenoks head.

Pylyp said, "I am so sorry. forgive me, I didn't mean to bang into you."

Kotenok replied, "Oh no, it's ok . It was an acident."

From then on they became really good freinds. They were just like brother and sister.

=CLIMAX= It was a few weeks later they were starving and hungry. Joseph Stalin came into the shack........
