In the ghetto hope is more important than food. Hope is will to live and without will to live you will be almost helpless against death. Without the will to live you will die from starvation because you don't want to live. If you had all the bread you could eat you would still die without the will to live.
One example of hope from the book is Daniel's family having a radio, because they know what is going on in the war. Another example of hope is helping other people, like when Daniel and Rosa steal bread from the dad that was stealing bread from his kids, because you give hope to the kids whose dad was stealing because they have food to survive on. Helping others gives you hope because you know that you potentially saved someone’s life.
You can survive longer without food then without the will to live. That makes hope and the will to live more important than bread.
Great job Dakota!! You are a good writer who makes a lot of great points. 5/5
