In "The Berlin Boxing Club," the setting was an essential aspect of the novel. The novel took place in the late 1930's with the Nazi dictatorship at its height. Karl, being Jewish, was constantly discriminated against by many Nazis. In fact, discrimination against Jews got so bad, that a series of laws known as the Nuremberg Laws, were passed. Page 189 explained, "...The Nuremberg Laws have been carefully designed to protect and secure the purity of German blood against the insidious influence of the Jews."

No time is given to them to give their side of the story; our summary judgment is usually final. “’Jew bastards will charge me if you break anything’ he cursed” (70). Without any prior knowledge

In the short story “The Key Game” the author appeals to the readers’ sense of emotion (pathos) because of the in-depth description of the Jewish family’s unfortunate living arrangements, and because of the method the author uses to explain the various character descriptions, emotions, and dialog throughout the story. This story takes place at some point during the Second World War. The author, Ida Fink, introduces the reader to a small Jewish family consisting of a wife, husband, and their three year old son. They live in a small apartment which she describes as poor, urban, and gloomy. The situation with the war can be shown with the frequent changes in apartments. The purpose of the story is in a “game” made by the parents to prepare the child for his reaction in case the Germans ever come knocking at the door. The author introduces the emotion in this story from the very beginning, when she starts to describe where the story takes place.

“Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principals which direct them.” This is a quote by Napoleon Bonaparte. Ambition is a theme that is visible within the novel “The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz” and the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”. Both Duddy Kravitz, the main character of the novel, and Jordan Belfort, the main character of the film, are both are excessively ambitious and would do anything to accomplish their goals and to become a successful individual. Growing up in poverty may provoke ones ambition; however it has the ability to cloud ones judgement and morals, and may guide one on the path of illegal activity.
