World War II was and still is the most deadly war of all time, leaving 60 million people dead and countless others injured. It involved several nations, but left an impression on almost all nations worldwide. One word that often resonates from the thought of World War II is “holocaust.” It is something that, to this day, is taught in schools and is an important, yet tragic part of history. There are multiple famous pieces of literature that capture just how horrendous this war was, and some of the most impactful pieces are the ones written at the time of the war from someone’s perspective. Readers are able to view Paris just as it was during World War II through Irene Nemirovsky’s Suite Francaise. This book depicts what life was like in France in the 1940s, and…
Do you really know what went on during the holocaust well Jane Yolen wrote a special book about how life was like in the concentration camps which later turned into a movie. There are many different things that go on in between the book and the movie like how there is a major age difference and how Rivka ends up being her cousin. That is some but there's also many similarities like how Hanna still tells her stories to keep everybody together and how Hanna still sacrifices herself for Rivka. Well I think that differences or not they still both teach that valuable lesson that one after one the deaths were adding and one after one they were disappearing.…

The elements Dayna Lorentz, used in her book, No Safety In Numbers, were point of view, setting, and dramatic irony. The first, point of view, is told from the 3rd person multiple. This is odd, and not commonly used, however in this story it makes since to tell the story of multiple teens viewpoint, as each finds out more and more and adapts to this changing environment. As shown in this quote from page 149, “The girl was white as death. All Lexi had wanted was to get out of the store. She owed ginger something.” However Lexi was just one of the characters Lorentz chose to go deeper into. This achieved a suspenseful mood and made you feel like you were inside with each of them. Lorentz was smart to do this, it was one of the best ways to achieve emotional attachment. Overall this lead the reader to be engaged, like it was actually happening. It was a refreshing change of pace from books that do not let you fully engage, but force you to look in through a peephole.…
