Literary Analysis 3

In the book City of Thieves, the time period sets the story. The two boys, Lev and Koyla set out on a journey for eggs so the chief of polic could have food. It is tough because there is no eggs in the city. The period(WWII) effected the city in numerous ways. People are dying everyday, there is no food, and some people have no place to live. The author really sets the dark mood in the book by explaining the devastation of WWII.
