Unkle Moses

Later, in the ghetto, Misha found Janina, and began bringing her food. He started staying the night with the Milgroms and spent more and more time with Janina. One day, Misha introduced Janina as his sister. At, the time, he did not know why, for Janina was not his sister. Later, Mr. Milgrom gives Misha a Jewish armband and Misha becomes a Jew. These all become parts of Misha’s identity, and later that night, Mr. Milgrom declared Misha a part of his family. “[He] slept with his new family almost every night now. Mr. Milgrom always said goodnight to [them], first to Janina, then to [Misha]. He always looked forward to this moment, as no one had ever said goodnight to [him] before,” [p.

This novel made me learn that, even when we are in times of struggle or need ourselves, we need to think about others. About how we should be less self-serving when there others we could help. Which in turn makes us feel better, the joy we give to others often is returned with a very rewarding feeling. When you can barely scrape enough together to keep yourself alive, the last thing most of us are thinking about is helping someone else. However, the generosity Uri, Mischa, and the other thief children is so great, that they still insist on giving to those around them. Uri and Mischa, after their nightly raids, would go over to the orphan house and give them food and toys. When the Jewish people are all taken prisoner and put in “the ghetto”, Mischa chooses to join them, even though he is not Jewish. He is a small boy and is able to fit through small gaps in the fence in order to steal and bring back food for his starving friends and their families. Uri has managed to escape, so now it is up to Mischa alone to bring food to the orphan house. It is dangerous eneough to feed his friends, let alone the orphans, but still Mischa goes out his way to make sure they have enough to survive. Jesop, a man staying the Ghetto, “you go, every night you go. Why do you come back?” This made me realise that, if people who have nothing can still give so much, then the rest of us who have

The Jewish family soon gets taken to the other side of the wall, a slum area, the ghetto. Misha still follows his pattern, goes back and forth between the wall and the outside world by just a very small hole on the wall, only he can go through. Uri slowly leaves Misha behind by doing his own whereabouts since Misha is doing fine on his own. Slowly questioning the main character, he only focuses on what he’s doing. After spending months with mostly the Jewish family, he starts to realize the reality around him. He didn’t fit in with the Milgrom's,. In fact, his story didn’t suited him. He leaves his fabricated life to start over. “My identity as a Gypsy vanished. Gone were the seven wagons, seven brothers, five sisters, Greta the speckled mare. Deep down I guess I had always known my Gypsy history was merely Uri’s story, not reality. I didn’t miss it.. When you own nothing, it’s easy to let things go.” pg.104) He slowly thought less and less about the orphans and more to the Milgrom’s. Later the tables get turned. Janina who is more of a sister than a best friend, follows Misha everywhere he goes. She copies him, sets him up for failure, and seems more “needy” than she first seemed to be. From how Misha treated Uri by wandering off, causing trouble, creating more responsibility, is now being inflicted back to him from Janina. From a new character change, Janina is now

The 1938 film, “Mamele,” directed by Joseph Green and Konrad Tom is musical comedy-drama that portrays the life of Havche, a dutiful daughter who keeps her family intact after their mother’s death. Havche spends her day cleaning the house and providing food for her family members. She is so caught up on doing household chores that she has little time for herself. More importantly, the film emphasizes on Havche and her family, as she tries to be the mother and take care of her family. Throughout the movie, we witness the struggles Havche overcomes by not being appreciated for the sacrifices she makes. It isn’t until she finds comfort from Schlesinger, a violinist who lives across her. The film also embraces the entire gamut of interwar Jewish

“Harriet soon realized she could not be free until all her people were free.” According to the author there are multiple central ideas stated throughout this passage. One of the central ideas is about a woman who freed family and friends from slavery. She snuck back into the plantation through the Underground Railroad system to rescue her family, she threatened the people who walked with her with a gun so they would stay, and she kept the people in safe houses in northern states.

However, Walter is forced to put his dreams on hold. Before Lena gave Walter the left over insurance money, she told him that she went and bought a house for the family. This made Walter extremely angry and he exploded, just like it’s described in the poem by Langston Hughes. The poem also shows how when a dream is deferred it can become a “heavy load.” This describes Walter perfectly because he constantly has the load of trying to be the head of the house hold and to provide for his family weighing him down. After Walter almost destroys the dream of the family by having their own house, he realizes the struggle behind the ownership of a house and refuses to sell it to Karl. At the beginning of the play Walter’s idea of a “man” is consumed by materialistic things. Walter wanted only to change the circumstances of the situation he was in and his attitude has a significant impact on his wife, mother, and sister as they struggle in their own ways. His transformation throughout the play is noble. It brings positive hope to the family, along with pride and unity. Walter has found that he has the ability to change himself regardless if he doesn't have the ability to change the circumstances. Walter ultimately becomes a better husband, son, brother, and father when he realizes that this is a victory despite the

through the achievement amid security, arrived at the hotel lounge Uncle Samuel is pushing and elbowing. There were also people who they seemed sick, they met doctors and nurses from the red Cross, and assisted by volunteers from the Israelite scouts of France. Amid the din I have seen a familiar face: Moses my cousin, son of Aunt Sara and Uncle Isaac there’s in his uniform of Israelite scout of France, and with all my strength I screamed: - Moses, Moses! Fortunately, he hears, between all this noise my voice and could meet us in the middle of that crowd. -¡Tío Samuel, Elias! - He in his turn shouted. And coming toward us he embraced us strongly and took us to a place where there it’s less shouting. that we’re there to find out about the grandfather, mom, dad and the rest of the family Uncle Samuel explained . Among people who had returned from deportation had come his cousin, Gilda, the eldest daughter of Aunt Simone and Uncle Judas, who told him what happened to grandfather Elijah, my mother and the rest of the family Moses

Even though his family comes from wealth they don’t receive any special privileges and they are forced to basically live on top of each other in 2 ½ rooms. This symbolizes how little power even the most wealth Jewish people have because the Nazis are taking over. On that same page in the third panel the image shows a sign that states, “REWARD: For Every Unregistered Jew You Find: 1 Kilo of Sugar” (82)! This is extremely powerful because the Nazis bribe other people to expose Jewish people in order to receive rewards. Now, the Jewish people not only have to live in fear because of the Nazis, but also because any non-Jewish person could turn them in for a

The idea of semantic illusions is where people tend to not recognize an inaccuracy or inconsistency in a text.. This tendency is now known as the Moses Illusion. Erickson and Mattson (1981) presented subjects with questions such as ‘ How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the ark?’. People answered ‘two’ even when they knew that Noah was the one who took the animals. Even when told that there may be distortions, people still overlooked the names. Erickson and Mattson (1981) suggested that semantic similarity to the right name and certain facts that people know about certain individuals influences the frequency of occurrence of the semantic illusion. This phenomenon has proven to be very consistent over varying circumstances because it occurs with or without time pressure. The Moses illusion has raised many questions in regards to its validity and research methods.

The actual painting is large suggesting that the artist really wants this painting to be seen. Moses is seen as larger than life size but yet Moses character does not give off an theatrical or a daring persona. In this painting the colors really give off the feeling of the painting as well as it’s structure. In the painting you see Moses holding the tablet over his head and the pitning stops right at his waist and there are boulders constructing his path at all angles. The sin of the Israelites is so large that Moses feels conflicted when he has to destroyed the tablets, that god has constructed and inscribed in. So the artist places Moses in a inadequate space. This overall outputs the emotional aspect of the painting. The conflict that Moses

In the Bible As In Literature , Moses displays poor leadership skills when he is dependant on others and doubtful as he encounters God’s demands. Moses is dependant when he brings his brother Aaron to speak, when he is doubtful in speaking to the pharaoh, and when he does not believe that he can keep the Hebrews safe. When Moses is ordered by God, he denies that he should go and speak to the Pharaoh and says, “I am slow of speech and of tongue” (112). He eventually brings his brother Aaron to speak for him to the Pharaoh since he claims that he is slow. Moses is doubtful that he should go to the Pharaoh and dependant on Aaron during this situation. Along with this, Moses is doubtful when the Hebrews ask how taking them to the wilderness is
