Hostage Situation!

I once read a book about how a girl was held hostage and then buried alive. It was definitely one of my favorite books. Ever since I read that back in middle school, I've always wondered what it would be like to be held hostage. In the book, someone saved her at the last minute, but I know that in real life, that doesn't always happen.
If I were held hostage, I know I would be very scared. I would probably cry and have a panic attack, to be honest. A lot of people would say that they would be brave and do whatever they could to get out. Some people may even think that, but when they get in that situation, they have no idea how the will react. You never know how being held hostage would effect you until you have actually been held hostage. For example, my classmate claims that she "could probably escape pretty swiftly." I am sure it would not be easy, at all, to escape from a fully grown man being a teenage girl.
If I were in a hostage situation, I think I would try my best to not upset the hostage-taker. Someone would find me soon, at least I would hope. I would try to just be quiet and hopefully the hostage-taker would not harm me in any way. If any harm was going to happen, I would try to convince him not to. The stories on the news where there's a burglar who enters a store to rob it, but ends up finding God with help from an employee working are very interesting but do not seem like it would be any easy task. I'm sure that is an incredibly rare occurrence, but anything is worth a try. I would hope someone would notice that I was gone very soon after I was taken hostage so the police could try and find me as soon as possible. Hopefully I would never have to endure such a thing.
