How Does The Author Use Conflict In Prisoner B-3087

During this week I read Prisoner B-3087 By Alan Gratz, Yanek was moved around to handful of concentration camps. Yanek was moved a camp called Birkenau. Right when the Jews arrived at the camp they were ordered to take their clothes off. They had been put in a room with sprinklers on the ceiling. Yanek was thinking to himself this is going to be the end, I’m going to die. Then the sprinkles turned on and ice cold water came out. In the text I read, “ I was going to live! I laughed I cried, and so did the other men.” This made me realize how thankful Yanek was. I can relate to this because I have been thankful, last year my great grandma had a stroke, Half her brain ended up dying and she was paralysed. After I found out she pasted away I was

In the book Night by Elie Wiesel,brutality is expressed in many ways. This is a story about the holocaust, how Elie survived it and how he and his father made the best of a situation.when Elie and his family were taken from their home and put in a truck filled with other Jews that would take them to Auschwitz, they had no idea what they were looking forward to. As soon as they reached their destination realization hit Elie, there was the smell of burning flesh and smoke in the air and the awareness of the rough bed of the truck they had to sit in,the fear that they felt and also what they saw they were going to be living in.

There are different types of conflict, the conflict such as Man .vs. Nature, Man.vs. Man, and Person .vs. Self these types of conflicts show the struggle people have to go succeed a goal, dream or just to survive. In the poem “Ode to a Mouse” by Robert Burns and the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, both authors use the literary element, Conflict to show the struggles of the characters.

“Why had I worked so hard to survive if it was always going to end like this? If had known, I wouldn’t have bothered. I would have let them kill me back in the ghetto. It would have been easier that way. All that I had done was for nothing.” Based on a shocking true story, this excerpt shows one of Jakob Gruener’s largest conflicts throughout “Prisoner B-3087” by Alan Gratz. Jakob, a young jewish man from Poland, perseveres many concentration camps and death marches, and seems to vary between the determination to live, or give in to the Nazi brutality and die. The story takes place during World War II, when the jewish people were taken by the Nazi Rich (Rike/Bike) in concentration camps, Jakob being one of the millions of jews taken. Jakob

“Conflict is drama, and how people deal with conflict shows you the kind of people they are.” The thought expressed by actor Stephen Moyer portrays that conflict brings out a reaction from people, but they may not always be the same reaction. Being victims of the Holocaust Elie Wiesel and Anne Frank have different responses with some similarities. Both characters have a very similar response to write about the (hardships) they faced or were facing. Although Wiesel and Frank share the will to write about the (hardships), key differences developed throughout there (hardship). Wiesel lost faith in God, and as time lapsed Wiesel’s viewpoint on the future grew negative. On the other hand, Anne Frank stayed Optimistic about the future and found hope and passion through Peter.

Wiesel covers this in his book because he wants to prevent cruel acts like that from occurring again.Another Scene that gives an example of conflict is when Wiesel and the rest of the prisoners are being moved Auschwitz to Buchenwald. During their journey Wiesel mentions how when a prisoner is not moving fast enough they are shot by an SS officer. Wiesel also mentions that the gunshots only stop when the guards get tired as well. Wiesel includes this show how cruel the SS officers were to the prisoners in order to prevent an event like this happening again. The last scene that gives an example of conflict is before Wiesel even gets to the camp. This scene involves when Wiesel and his family are packed into the cattle car that takes them to Auschwitz. He mentions that each car had about eighty people in it which left no room to sit and barely enough to even move. Wiesel states this to prevent conditions like this to happen to prisoners of any sort in the future. In this scene Wiesel says “We had fallen into the trap, up to our necks. The doors were nailed, irrevocably cut off. The world had become a hermetically

Conflict offers the potential to test and prove one’s moral priorities; however some may stand steadfast by their beliefs and in turn become ignorant to the learning and realisations that conflict offers. While Paradise Road is ultimately about personal and collective triumph over adversity, the script never forgets that for everyone who has overcome seemly impossible obstacles there are many that have fallen along the way, never to rise again. By not forgetting these victims, Paradise Road instead stresses the consequences of isolation. Segregation and reclusiveness in to one’s self can cause further conflict. A highly negative response to

One approach to respond to conflict is shown in the thoughts and actions of Anne Frank. In the story, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne’s solution to make the better of her situation was demonstrated. For instance, her diary entry, dated Saturday, July 11, 1942, describing her living space at the Secret Annex, noticed, “Up to now our bedroom, with its blank walls, was very bare [...] I was able to plaster the wall with pictures. It looks much more cheerful” (Frank 19). This represents a particular action in which Anne made to

People will resort to drastic measures for survival. Elie Wiesel, a young Jewish boy learns about this as he goes through life in the concentration camps during the Holocaust. He talks about this in his book Night. In Night, Jews are taken from their homes and tortured to death. Everything is taken from the prisoners, so they have to fight for survival. Some of the prisoners give up, but others focus on fighting to the end with a bit of hope that they will make it out alive. Surviving in a place like a concentration camp is very hard and dangerous. Wiesel shows in his memoir that when survival is at stake, people lose self-respect and their humanity.

As living and breathing human beings people are bound to experience some type of conflict. Conflict can be present within a person, between two people, between a person and forces of nature, and even between a person and their society. Conflict is defined as the struggle that shapes the plot in a story (Clugston, 2014, ch.4sect.1 para.4). When reading a piece of literature, especially a short story, one should pay special attention to the central conflict because it is the key element of the story (Clugston, 2014). This essay will analyze “Sonny’s Blues” by James Baldwin and “Sweat” by

Texts that deal with the theme of conflict make us think. Conflict is the centre of all dramatic development in the three texts I will be discussing. These are Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, and O Brother Where Art Thou’, directed by Joel Coen. There are many forms of conflict expressed in these texts. These include both emotional and physical conflict. Conflict has been brought about in many ways throughout these texts. Most of which has been fuelled by inner discord. However a person’s inner conflict can often lead to violent activity. This demonstrates that both forms of conflict are indeed affiliated.

“ Sometimes you need conflict in order to come up with a solution. Through weakness oftentimes, you can not make the right sort of settlement, so I am aggressive, but I also get things done, and in the end, everybody likes me”( Donald Trump). This quote kind of means that you can not come up with a solution if there are no problems. In literature, so many authors use the literary element conflict to develop their stories. Conflict in the terms of literature is split into three branches, there is Man against Self, Man against Man, Man against Nature. In the short writing “Bullet in the brain”, by Tobias Wolff; the main character Anders faces all three conflicts. Conflicts causes humans to react in other ways depending on how big of

The Kapo punished him with 20 lashes. Yanek held on to the log and he was slipping off but he held a tight grip so he wouldn't fall off and get hit harder. This develops the theme, sometimes you have to conform to survive. This when Yanek was participating in the death march where Yanek didn't want to end up like the rest of the frozen Jews on the side of the road with a bullet on his head. This supports the theme, sometimes you have to conform to survive.

In Shelter, the author uses conflict to teach us that going back to bad habits will end up in the consequences which is the story’s theme. For example, “My Mom sprawled out alone on the bed. I wanted so very much to run out of the room or squeeze my eyes shut. Nothing about a junkie is pretty.” Mickey’s mom just got out of rehab and is already back to doing the bad things she was doing before she went to rehab. She lied to Mickey and said she was going to go shopping and all this stuff when really she was back at her old place doing drugs. In the book Mickey’s mom started crying because she knew how Mickey would feel about it. The author is trying to teach the theme because he is telling how she fall

In this article, the author uses conflict to show guts. There are many problems and situations in this article. One of the problems in this article is a plane crashing. “Last Wednesday, the elements, indifferent as ever, brought down flight 90” (Rosenblatt, 273). Nature has brought down a plane in its winter wonderland. Many people were injured and cannot aid themselves. Despite this incident, the humans worked together to overcome this obstacle to help help others that needed it. Instead of doing nothing, they risked their lives to make sure the people on the plane lived.. Another conflict is, the humans having a chance to go home. The men who helped out was given numerous chances to leave the disaster site. They had a choice to stay
