‘Re-read Act 2 from page 56 (CHRIS: There she is!) to page 59 (KATE: what has happened to this house? Mother of God, will we ever be able to lift our heads ever again…? (Pause)). Discuss the presentation and role of Rose in this extract and elsewhere in the play.

Using these two accounts of two very different experiences, conclusions can be drawn on how realistic the fictional story of Sophie’s experience within Auschwitz. Above, short summaries of Frankl and Mozes are instated so the two can be distinguishable. Now, using specific details for each of their stories to compare to Styron’s novel will be used to determine the nature of the story of Sophie.

Individuals often find the definition of identity complex and difficult to comprehend. A balance must be struck between the contending concepts that a person’s identity is founded on how they view themselves, or how others perceive them to be. During the 20th century, strict adherence to archetypal roles was expected. Who an individual was, how they interacted with others, and their status in society, was determined through the judgement of others and subsequently, the archetypal roles they were placed in. For Stephen, a young fifteen year-old who is struggling on achieving true self-fulfillment in a society that is male dominated, he drives his sense of identity and self-perception from how others see him.

Sophie and her brother both start as being fans of Nazism and Hitler’s rein. “Hans was an active Hitler Youth leader- all the children had been members of the movement- the most disturbing aspect of their lives had been the conflicts this had aroused with their fathers” (Dumbach 15). They did this even against their father’s wishes and beliefs. They thought that it was the right thing to do because all of the other children around them were doing this same thing. They saw it as an exciting thing to participate in. They “felt themselves a part in the rebuildings of their deeply divided and demoralized nation”(24). Before Hitler came to power, when they listened to him speak they liked what he had to say about the youth. However they ended up changing these views. “All of the Scholl children had grown disillusioned with National Socialism, and after a few tension-filled years, the family was reconciled” (Dumbach 15). They do this because “their family stood posed against a regime that was making increasing inroads into the peace and autonomy of their lives”(15). Also Hans was appalled by the rules that the Hitler Youth had in place. “[A]n early confrontation that raised within him doubts about the organization to

The Play of the Diary of Anne Frank starts out in the annex in the warehouse in Amsterdam, Holland where Anne Frank and seven others hid out during World War II. It opens with Otto Frank and Miep Gies standing in the annex alone in 1945. Mr. Frank had just come home from the concentration camps, being the one survivor from the annex. After conversing for awhile, Miep hands Mr. Frank Anne’s diary from the days of living in the annex. He starts to read the book, as it slowly flashes back to 1942 when it all began…

I saw the play “A Bright Room Called Day” by Tony Kushner on the 1st of November. I can say for sure that plays are always different and this play was completely different from the one we watched a couple weeks ago- “Rent”. This play is serious in its content , it is a specific historical play, which took place in Germany, more exactly Berlin, in the 1930s. The story is about five good friends during the time of the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party, the time before World War II. The story surrounded the main character- Agnes, who just loves her home and lives on her own and she thinks that everything will be alright as long as she stays away from negative influences. Representational and presentational acting can be seen in this play and helps us understand the character more.

The play is set in 1914 and Europe is on the brink of war. The main protagonist Richard Hannay is bored with life, until he runs into a mysterious German woman names Annabella Schmidt at the theatre. Richard then takes the woman home with him and she reveals that she is tracking down

Tony Kushner’s play simultaneously portrays two different storylines, as mentioned above, both situated in Berlin, with the former in the 1930s and the latter in 2017. The two characters – Zillah and Agnes – around whom the plot is centred within both the storylines, coexist in the same space. However, it is

Sophie Scholl places an immense amount of weight on her belief in the conscience, and she dictates her actions by it. Moreover, she responds strongly to the symptoms of a misinformed conscience that exist within Nazi Germany. Inspector Mohr, an allegory for the average German national during WWII,, rationalizes the horrendous acts of by pretending that it is justified by the great things the party does for the few, which includes him. Many of the German people are misinformed on the true state of the war, and are blinded by the propaganda that hides the evils of the Nazi party. Mohr even trivializes the deaths of the mentally ill by claiming they were lesser or inferior to those like himself. Sophie balks at this, refusing to be blinded from

In William Styron’s book Sophie’s Choice Styron explains the effects of World war 2 on an American, a Polish person and a Jewish person. Sophie, the polish women, who is forced to make a very difficult decision during the war, a choice that, affects her mental state of mind for the rest of her life. Stingo, the American and narrator of the story struggles to find inspiration for his writing career while also discovering his families past. Nathan, the Jewish man who is hopelessly in love with Sophie a holocaust survivor, lashes out in anger and questions her about her past. Sophie’s Choice uses three characters guilt to portray the hardships of World War 2 and the mental instability it has caused.

This paragraph is found near the end of the short story, “A Rose for Emily,” by William Faulkner. In this excerpt, we are thrust into the funeral of Emily, and the effect of her death upon the townsfolk. Emily, a reclusive and apparently mentally disturbed spinster, has been a talked about figure in the town for the majority of her years. Her life and death have been all about relationships – both of the ones she had, as well of the ones she did not have. We learned that, although her relationships with the townsfolk were at times both cordial and strained, they came to her funeral in order to pay a kind of tribute to an object of their pity for,

The atmosphere of this story is causal with a stressful feeling. Throughout, Sophie had pleased the German soldiers that entered her hotel with fine dinners. However, this became a problem as the German Kommandant would harm innocent civilians, hence why the story portrays a serious and somber tone. The characters in the story consist of Sophie, Helene, Aurelien, Edouardo and Kommandant. These are the major characters in the story as they play a big role. Apart from characters, the theme of the story revolves around romance and war where Sophie the narrator discusses her challenges dealing with these Germans. Overall, the significance of the setting impact the mood, characters and theme.

When Sophie was twelve years old, she joined the League of German Girls. This was a “pseudo-Nazi organization” (Pettinger). These organizations, called Hitler Youth Organizations, “trained and educated” German teenagers to become “loyal followers of the Nazi Party” (Zapotczny). Initially, Sophie excelled in the League of German Girls. She enjoyed the activities and was even promoted to a leadership position. However, Sophie eventually became skeptical about the organization she was in (Pettinger). As was typical

Symbolism in literature is using an object to portray a different, deeper meaning in a story. Symbols represent ideas or qualities that the author has maneuvered into his or her story that has meaning. There can be multiple symbols in a story or just one. It is up to the reader to interpret the meaning of the symbols and their significance to the story. While reading a story, symbols may not become clear until the very end, once the climax is over, and the falling action is covered. In William Faulkner’s, “A Rose for Emily,” there are multiple examples of symbolism that occur throughout the story.
