Gussie Grimmond and the rest of England were bombed by Germany. All people could hear were war sirens and bombs dropping and guns firing. People were hiding in the Anderson bomb shelters and a lot of people underground in train stations. It was a scary couple of days. After the blitzkrieg happened Kids ages 3-15 were aloud to sign up for boat ride that will take you someplace safe. Gussie’s boat was to Canada and there were around 90 other kids there that are from England. They only were aloud to bring certain things. When they stopped at Liverpool for day they got on to a much more luxury boat. People that didn’t have a lot of money growing up were very happy since there was a lot of food selections and areas to play in.Some people were. very said since they had to leave their parents. I think that this is scary for the children and that the kids had a very bad experience that made it unsafe for them to be at their homes until the war is over. The ship to Canada was dangerous. They needed to watch out for U-Boats and they would send a destroyer out 3 miles in the water to search for U-boats and they had to watch out for planes. This was a very scary and dangerous trip but I think it is worth the risk tom do this because you could die in England. When they were on the ship they spotted something a head that could of been a big problem for the people on the ship because the problem was that they could get hurt and most likely die. This matters because the kids shouldn’t be getting hurt and they left England so they wouldn’t but Germany still might hurt innocent children.
