Vladek says that he left Anja and their new baby to go to Bielsko to run his new factory and find an apartment for them to live in. How does Anja respond? Have you or members of your family ever had to separate in order to start a new job or new life? How did it feel for the people who moved on? How did it feel for the people who were left behind?

Anja responds to it by being sad and depressed due to neglect and lonely, saddled with the responsibility of taking care of their new baby in Vladek's absence.

Explanation:

Leaving loved ones or a community in search of better opportunities in new cities is the major cause of urban migration. Leaving the countryside with memories, family and friends to the city was not an easy venture, but my desire to have a better standard of living was stronger than the fear of missing out on the stability of my regular patterns, places and people.
