Can you imagine people doing that today--parents allowing their children to be taken to a strange place, to live with unknown people?

The excerpt that best exemplifies the author's personal theme during her evacuation to Cornwall is:
"I kept telling myself, 'Pull yourself together, pull yourself together,' so I wouldn't cry."
This line reflects the author's internal struggle and the emotional resilience she is trying to maintain during a challenging and unfamiliar situation, which aligns with the personal theme of coping with fear and uncertainty during the evacuation.
