so i wrote my reflection based off of this ladies parents story named Madeline Prochazka. She tells a true story about how the gendarmes came to their house shot her father and forced herself and her family to abandon their homes and walk in the desert just as other Armenians did. . She was (at the time) pregnant with a fourth child. The family eventually walked so long that they ran into a church. By this time She was in need of water, food, and salt. She begged a young soldier who gave her some. However she was afraid that the soldiers may do to her what they do to the other mothers ( cut their bellies open, steal the baby, cut off their breasts and their limbs) Eventually her family reached Siberia where they took them to France and put the Armenians to work. but Her Mother created a business that has been inherited throughout their entire family,
