Sarah's Key Analysis

“I think I just forgot my own daughter,” my mom answered for me. “I am extremely sorry Julia. I don’t know what happened.”

felt sorry for her sister because of her name. On the other hand Julia was

She agreed to be hypnotized; she began to remember her dreams; she acknowledged her faint suspicions” (Stout 387). It took years to get to the root of Julia’s memory loss. To try to spark up a memory, Stout offers Julia the option of hypnosis, and she took it. After the hypnosis they believe they have found the answer to Julia’s absent past: she was abused. To escape this she learned to dissociate herself from her surroundings. This is why whenever the term “Los Angeles” is expressed to her she “flies away” because the abuse happened in Los Angeles. But was she really abused or was this something that was made up during her hypnosis sessions? Hypnosis isn’t a proven science; it is just a myth, a theory, just like black holes. Perhaps they never found out why Julia couldn’t remember her past and Stout just manipulates Julia into thinking she was abused just to give her an answer, just to fill the holes. Instead of having been abused in Los Angeles, maybe she just didn’t like living there as a child so she would dissociate herself from living there. Sure Los Angeles has beautiful sunny weather all year round, but no one can be eternally happy to be there, unless they’re the yellow guy on the pin with a smile from the seventies that was lost on a beach in Los Angeles.

I see things that nobody else sees” (Sanchez 126). This quote explains the idea that Julia had expectations because she was a member of the family. Julia always knew that she was being criticized for her older sister's death. Her parents wanted her to be like Olga: a homebody, obedient, a ‘no life’ sister. Julia’s

Julia walked over to the briefcase and picked up the photo of Brenda that Franklin had laid on top of the case. She started to scream as tears poured from her face. She turned the photo to Franklin and yelled. “Am I the only woman? Am I? This is the same woman from your past and now you brought her to our future. You threw your marriage away for someone who doesn’t care a thing about you. I was there when she crushed your heart.

Julia was not affected physically, but in many other ways, she had problems. Once the slowing started, Julia's best friends family decided to move away to Utah. That didn't last very long and when she came back she had a new friend and completely disregarded Julia with her new friend. “...and then she would look at Alison with the same fake smile that she was now using on me.”

After reading the opening chapter of Sarah’s Key I felt worried about the mother. I felt as if the daughter was stronger than the mother. The mother also lied about where her husband was and wouldn’t go get her things together. I believe that she was in a state of shock, and was terrified of what was to come. As confusing as the opening chapter was I could tell that the daughter had more strength even if she didnt fully understand what was going on. I have read the opening chapter multiple times coming up with these questions, Where are they going if the little girl clams that they are not Germans? They said to pack their things for a few days, so it sounds like they are going to be back. (I don’t think they are coming back) Why are they taking

In the story of Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay, one of the main characters that had to endure the Holocaust was Sirka(Sarah). If Sarah or anyone had the capability to rescue her brother Michel it would change the lives of multiple characters. These characters include Sarah herself, Michel, Julia, Edouard, Mame, Zoey, and William.

Being rebellious and having affairs with Party associates is a apart of Julia’s lifestyle and I admire her for living life the way she wants to. Even though her sensual personality and being involved with Winston gets her in trouble, she lived her life to fullest up until she got caught.

And he knew that if he called her for help, she would be there for him. She was truly concerned and insisted on hopping on a plane as soon as she could and coming to watch the kids to give him a hand. It was perfect timing because Julia was acting particularly strange. She even drove off the side of the road and wound up in the hospital.

Julia Braverman-Graham is a very successful lawyer with a husband Joel and a daughter Sydney. Julia’s life revolves around her job. Family seems to come second in her life. Joel seems to take on the lead role in parenting their daughter Sydney. It is made clear in the episode that Sydney favors Joel and seems to not like her mother, as she should. Sydney treats her mother more of an acquaintance than a parental figure. Julia observes this multiple times through out the episode and it really

Imagine the victims of the holocaust whom have read Sarah’s Key, who can say, “I was there.” The effectuality of that alone, is amazing and undeniably emotional for many of the readers. It blows my mind that even in this day and age there are survivors who were victims of the horrors of the

Julia is at her best when Winston accuses her of spying on him for the thought police, but once they've moved on and settled their differences, she appears to have no agency outside of Winston’s plans, and consequently, their romance sort of dies. Winston and Julia think that they are safe and unseen, while they are hidden away in their rented room, the audience have unwilling been spying on them the entire time on a giant screen like voyeurs. Leaving the audience to question if they are just as bad as the thought
