The Short Story Orientation by Daniel Oroczo

In the book Daniel's story it is the story of death, and survival, of desperation, hope, evil and also lots of love. The story is told from Daniel’s perspective as he is experiencing the atrocities of the holocaust for jews in central Europe. When the story starts, he is a fourteen year old boy, riding on a train while looking at his pictures in the photo album. Daniel uses a photograph album to spark back his memory of the events from when he was six years old until the day he and his family are forced on to a train bound for the lode of ghetto. But after spending two and a half years in ghetto, Daniel is riding on a train again, but this time to Auschwitz labor/death camp and he has a few pictures with him that tells the times when he was in ghetto. He took pictures of

1.) Music clearly means a lot to Daniel, as stated in his passage. Daniel talks about how he came from the “least musical of families” growing up, however, his mother signed him up for piano lessons anyhow. Daniel played the piano for quite a while, but eventually quit and worked in piano bars and theater orchestra pits at seventeen years old. Daniel stated some afternoons he would go to his friend Mikes house and listen to popular bands. One day, mike asked if he wanted to “hear something wild”. The something wild was Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. I think this is a point where the significance is clear. Daniel said that day was when he thought he actually heard music for the first time. Daniel took mikes tapes and listened to them in secret. He would blare Beethoven on the way to school, and quickly change it to KROQ while pulling in. Daniel was so in love this new genre of music he discovered, he decided to become a composer. He put in all the hard work: studied scores, read biographies, and got a serious piano teacher. Now Daniel lives in New York and is a composer of classical music for NewMusicBox. If Daniel never listened to the “something wild” he might have never had this future of becoming a composer.

Tim O’ Brien gained many experiences and maturity by serving in Vietnam which are good but he also gained the feeling of guilt by serving in Vietnam. He hated the idea of war in the beginning and still did during the war but his experiences as soldier serving in the war led him into writing. What he writes is stories because he feels that there are values in telling stories. He even says that miracles happen in stories. When he says that there is value in stories and miracles in stories he means by his telling of stories he feels that he revives the dead and brings them into his life.

The authors of the four memoirs overcame their childhood obstacles with the help of their parents. Gary Soto overcame his childhood obstacle by finally listening to his mother. Laurence Yep overcame his early life obstacles by letting people into his life. Barack Obama over his infancy obstacle by accepting his father. Julia Alvarez over her barrier by accepting the U.S. All these authors have only one thing in common they all had help from their parents to achieve their obstacles.

As we slowly walked into the cold hallway on the third floor, I asked Daniel a few questions just for us to get acquainted. See, when we were supposed to meet our senior buddies, Daniel was attending a PATHS photography class, meaning that this was the first time we had met. I asked him about his freshman year as we looked for a place to sit down, and he told me he had actually transferred to Casco Bay from Deering in his Junior year. Suddenly I remembered my mom, a social worker at Deering, mention something about a former Deering student who was currently a senior at Casco Bay named Daniel. I asked him if he had known my mom and he told me that he did, and that it was funny how things happen. We started warming up to each other well

I have personally witnessed the established, unprecedented and warmhearted culture, of Winston Salem State Universities Occupational Therapy program. I visited this program over the summer and experienced the mission state of the university and the occupational therapy program firsthand. I am genuinely a good fit for this program because my reason for becoming an occupational therapist is to offer patients to maintain and retrieve their quality of life. It is of supreme importance to me that every patient, no matter his or her race, background, or gender receives personal, professional, and effective treatment. The patient rehabilitation process reminds me of the universities history and foundation. Starting out as a one-room structure, the

Daniel's uncle Peter, got fired from his teaching job because he was jewish, and daniel's father lost his business. Obviously, the theme of man's inhumanity to man is evident in Danile Story because of the way Nanzis dehumanized jewish people. They also took away their rights and treated them cruelty. In Daniel's Story, the jewish people rights got taken away from them slowly over the years.

In the process of growing up as a child, Daniel admired his grandfather and specially all the effort and dedication he put into his jobs. His grandfather was always a man of determination, and used to work very late to bring food to his family, but always showing a big smile always inspire his grandsons. Daniel also describes his childhood as very usual of having friends, playing with his twin brother and exploring the world. The best memory of Daniel during his childhood was when he received his first dog. Even though it was just a little pet he got, he never taught he could get one of his own. On the other side, one of the worst experience in his life was on a thanksgiving dinner at his aunt house when he was 11 years old. Daniel and his twin were dressed up very nicely for the dinner and playing around the backyard with a stick. All of a sudden his twin brother push him with the stick and make him fall into the pool. Therefore, Daniel got all his clothes wet and his mother was very upset and blaming Daniel for the
