I chose an article from The New York Times titled “Paging Dr. Pigeon; You’re Needed in Radiology” by Nicholas Bakalar that was published on November 24, 2015.

Her homes have been her safe place and safety. In Paris, it was where she knew by heart and sight since she saw it before she went blind. Etienne’s house was safe because of the hidden compartment in the wardrobe, located in her grandfather’s old room, that led to the attic. She and her great uncle went up to the attic in order to safely broadcast numbers, music and important announcements such as, birthdays, engagements, and baptisms. When Von Rumpel stalks around Etienne’s house, it is the wardrobe compartment and attic that she uses to hide.…
