Psychological Effects

[Sophia Kang]

I've only seen a book cover picture of a book titled "Picture Bride," but until the museum visit, I didn't know what it was. Our guide told us about the story of his mom, who, while pregnant with him had just walked out to the snow, eventually passing out from hypothermia, and then getting rescued by a passerby. He tried to make us think about the psychological effects of the war and different people's ways of processing their experiences. An idea that stood out to me was the sudden isolation of a group of people in moments of hysteria regardless of their citizenship. I can see this fitting into my Crucible unit on hysteria.
