520			_a"When Gretel Was Fifteen" by Nina Rhoades is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Gretel Schiller, a young girl with German heritage living in America during World War I, as she navigates the complexities of her identity and friendships against the backdrop of a nation at war. The narrative delves into themes of loyalty, cultural conflict, and the struggle for acceptance, particularly in light of anti-German sentiment prevalent during the war. The opening of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere as Gretel and her fellow students at Miss Minton's school react to the news of America's entry into World War I. The girls' emotions range from fear to pride, revealing personal connections to the war as some have relatives who may be affected. Gretel's inner turmoil is palpable as she grapples with her own mixed heritage, reflecting on her deceased German father while forming a bond with her German teacher, Fräulein Sieling, who faces prejudice due to her nationality. This initial conflict not only sets the stage for Gretel's character development but also hints at the larger societal issues that will be explored throughout the book.
