Some are [[OffscreenMomentsOfAwesome awesome]] as Anya details varying methods of killing Nazis, but others are utterly sad as she details the fall of her country to the Nazis and how people accept it. She even starts to loathe her parents and how they are powerless to do anything other than what the Nazis want, and feels desperately alone in her resistance, until B.J. comes along]].
