    Compare And Contrast Aushwitzs

    For my compare and and contrast essay I read two different stories/perspectives of Aushwitzs. The first book I read is titled Night by Ellie Wiesel, and the second book I read is called A Doctor's Eyewitness account: Aushwitz by Dr Milkos Nyiszli. The two stories are very similar because they are both about the event that happened in the 1940s because of Hitler's hatred for the Jews.…

    All Quiet on the Western Front: Soldiers as Victims of War

    "Let the months and years come, they can take nothing from me, they can take nothing anymore. I am so alone and so without hope that I can confront them without fear" War is a political hotbed. Regardless of the warring nations’ reasons or the outcome, in the wake of the battle, the soldier, or country’s hero, actually becomes the victim. Youth is sacrificed, lives are lost, and the survivors are forever altered.…

    Theme Of War In Tim O Brien's The Things They Carried

    The theme that war changes a person is evident throughout almost every short story in the book The Things They Carried. Some are changed for the better, and some, not so much. Tim O’Brien used the characters he has built up to show the effects of war on different people. Out of the many themes included in this book, this is a very important one. Any situation will change you if you keep at it long enough, and that is just what happens to each and every person involved in a war.…

    Importance of Symbolism in Timothy Findley's "War".

    Young people often do not know what to expect of the future. They do not know how to act when something unexpected comes along, and their actions are based on what they do know; usually limited, biased information. This idea is central to the short story, ʺWar,ʺ by Timothy Findley. The young boy, Neil Cable, narrates the day he found out his father had joined the army. He speaks of his actions, feelings, and confusion surrounding that day. At first glance, his actions are all too often misinterpreted as violence and hatred, but after careful consideration, one can see that they are merely his way of dealing with the troubling news. He has not experienced enough in his lifetime to have a true understanding of war, and acts upon what he does know. In the short story, ʺWarʺ, by Timothy Findley, the young boy’s image of war and actions throughout are explained through the use of symbolism.…

    night

    Ellie’s religion was such a big part of his personality and lifestyle. In the beginning of the book Moche asks him why he prayed and he replied by saying “ Why did I pray? A strange question. Why did I live? Why did I breath?”. He is comparing praying to breathing, it is something so effortless for him something he doesn’t think about. This supports my thesis because this shows how religious he is and how praying is something he does but doesn’t think about because it is something he feels he should do for god. Ellie also tried hard to learn more about his religion even at such a young age which really shows his devotion. He eventually tells Moche of his problem with finding someone to teach him about his religion Ellie said “ One evening I told him unhappy I was because I could not find someone to instruct me in the Zohar, the caballistic books, secrets of Jewish mysticism.” In this quote you can see that he really wants to study and learn more he is eager to learn more about god and his religion and this helps us understand how is personality changed so much. Elllie being so interested and devoted to his religion shows us that the things he experienced were so horrifying that it changed the way he thought about his religion which he was so devoted to and didn’t question.…

    Tomorrow When the War Began- John Marsden

    “Tomorrow When The War Began” by John Marsden, is a novel of survival, friendship, love and war. He uses many language techniques (e.g. simile, metaphor, personification, oxymoron, irony, symbol, allusion etc.) to get across to the reader the importance of each of the themes discussed. He also uses these techniques to set the mood in each chapter and to help emphasise each major point in the novel. “We’ve learnt a lot and had to figure out what’s important- what matters, what really matters.”- Ellie…

    All Quiet on the Western Front: Literary Log #1

    This quote connects the theme: war destroys a person’s individuality. War makes a soldier bloodthirsty at times. Soldiers may have been kind and caring toward others, but in war, the necessity of survival is greater than ones of comrades. If a soldier’s comrade has been shot and are about to die, one would take their belongings in order to better protect oneself from further injuries. In a time of war, it does not matter about a soldier’s past personality, one gunshot could end a life, so soldiers react in order to protect themselves, to look on to the future, after the…
