Everything about The shawl that is confusing.

For one Magda's daughter was pushed on a electrical fense. OR was it Rosa's daughter? In class the teacher said the Rosa may be insane becuase she doesnt know if Magda really exists. Rosa takes place in a gap from 1940 to 1977. In 1940 Rosa was in her twentys and she was in the camp. In 1977 Rosa was fifty eight years old in Florida living in Florida. She was poor and only had a single room place.  There is a huge gap between that and i dont fully understand what has gone on during that time. Another thing that was confusing was the relationship with Mr. Persky. he is a seventy one year old man, he either works at the laundry mat or is always spotted there. Rosa does not trust him at all and believes he is just there to pick up girls and is a pervert. i wouldnt trust Magda as a reliable narrator either because i dont really like the way she thinks about everything.
