Summary: Why Did The Author Write The Story

She started the diary just days before the Nazi takeover in her home country Hungary. Her diary gives keen insights on what it was like to be Jewish child in the Holocaust Era. The Book,

Her life was not easy, her husband got shot and was left alone yet she came back to care for him. That didn’t stop him from verbally abusing him. But when push came to shove, she just left because she kept expressing how she felt. She could have killed her husband if she let her anger pile on inside but she let it out and it made a lot of space in her heart to forgive her husband. Writing and other forms of self-expression have helped many others alike so this says a lot about the usefulness of the literary arts.

She didn’t want to get in trouble for the actions of her husband. Going against Hitler and other Nazi’s was almost like breaking the law, because if you went against him, you would suffer the punishment. This is like having books in a society where censorship is the main focus. During this time, the government didn’t want the people to use their knowledge, because if they did, then they would be able to gain access to a lot of things and be able to understand that what they were living in was honestly really dangerous. In Nazi Germany, they held book burnings so that way people couldn’t read them and be able to understand that what Hitler and the Nazi’s was doing to them was horrifying. He didn’t want people to think of him as a bad person, but he wanted all the power that he could possibly ever have, and wanted to eliminate the overpopulating races or races he didn’t necessarily like. In Fahrenheit 451, firemen burned books instead of putting fires out. They created censorship by doing so. They didn’t want anyone to have any connections to education so that society wouldn’t be able to fight

In the short story, “Lather and Nothing Else”, the author, Hernando Tellez, creates suspense using a few different techniques. This short story takes place in a revolutionary barber’s shop, where the barber contemplates murdering an executioner by the name of Captain Torres. In order to create suspense, Tellez uses the key elements of limiting information and narrative point of view.

I think the author chose to write about this particular historical because a lot was going on during the 1940s like the war and the Nazi trying to get rid of the Jews. I also think the author chose to write about this historical period because She was interested about how she had to live through the war and through having to take random kids in that they didn't know anything about.

In this book referred to as “The hiding Place” my favorite parts of the story are when she and her family risk their own lives to assist the Jews and underground workers escape. They ne'er consider concerning what would possibly

By doing so, she could try and forget the things she thought about he Nazis and came to the conclusion based on facts and reasoning that weren’t biased to find answers to the question she had about the holocaust and the ones who were a part of it and caused this tragic event in

During this time her and many others that wrote was all they could do to resist or not sink into a deep hole they know they would not get out of. There are many diaries and journals throughout the holocaust. One of the most famous writers is Anne Frank. In her diary many know that she talks about the struggles of surviving in hiding from the Nazis. Was she the only one that wrote on her survivals and life in the holocaust? No, she wasn’t many other women such as Etty Hillesum, Olga Lengyel, and Emanuel Ringelblum did the same! Not only did writers write about their lives they also wrote fiction stories about what they could become or hoping for something better than they are facing. Or as males, they sometimes write as women and compare and imagine the differences and struggles faced (“Sharing Stories Inspiring Change Holocaust

They also are to inform you about what it was like for her during the holocaust and it shows how she was feeling. Some of the things she writes are shown in the movie, like the yellow star that the Jews had to wear or how they had a curfew and couldn’t ride bicycles. Although they are similar they are different too. The unfinished story and the whole story are different, for one thing, the titles are opposite (unfinished, whole story).

World War II was a catastrophe that affected many Jewish people’s lives across all of Western Europe. One individual who personally documented this experience was Anne Frank. She was a Jewish teenager living in Holland during World War II. Once the Germans began to take Jewish people to concentration camps, Anne and her family had to go into hiding so that they would not be discovered. As the war went on, many events affected Anne’s daily activities and morale. Anne began to document these events and as time went on it became obvious from her entries how much the war changed her. Anne’s situation was different than many other Jewish people during this time because most Jewish people were being killed or tortured in concentration camps while Anne was in hiding.

To begin with, the book takes place during the Holocaust, arguably the most brutal and morbid time in human history. In a war struck Nazi Germany, what better narrator then one who cannot be lost to the war? Furthermore, many different stories intertwine to form

She was given a diary while she was hiding for 2 and half years, and she wrote all about what was happening while living in hiding in an attic. Her father got her diary after he survived the camps, and published it to show people her personal experience living in the Annex.

Both Moishe the Beadle, a pious Jew, and Mrs. Schächter, a forty-year old Jew, constantly repeated, “Jews listen to me!” (Wiesel, 7 & 25) and always forewarned the Holocaust. They were providing warnings for the Jewish community of how they should be constantly vigilant and try to escape while they still can from the Nazis, as they were not who they appeared to be. Nevertheless, everyone refused to listen or believe their tales, and were taken for lunatics. The author yearned to portray how one should not disregard anyone, and instead take into consideration to the warnings they hold, which could be useful. If the Jewish community had listened, they might not have had to experience the abysmal Holocaust. The Holocaust was a devastating event in which the author desired to sustain the history in the hope of preventing another. “[The author] does not want his past to become [the people’s] future.” (Wiesel, XV) The author created the novel in order for future generations to be conscious of the Holocaust, which should never be repeated. One should not follow in the steps of Hitler and commit genocide to millions of beings simply because of their background. Nevertheless, the novel was not only created to make people aware, but also to simply preserve the memory of the Holocaust. “[A person] has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would not be only dangerous but

If she had not written her diary, we would not know the cruelty that the jewish people lived. Anne Frank narrated her history with the purpose of publishing a novel when the war was over.

A lot of scenarios happened after Spindletop found so much oil. University of Texas got a 2 million acre land grant. Divorce rates skyrocketed. New jobs opened up.
