The film Hidden in Silence is based on a true story. During WWII‚ while Jews are sent to ghettos‚ Catholic teenager Stefania Podgorska (called Fusia in the movie) helps 13 Jews to save their life while raising her little sister. Every day‚ she risks execution by given food and water to the silent individuals living above her.

In having a day of silence‚ my mind wandered off.

The chapters of Songs of Silence hold together as a chorus of songs from one community‚ but shaped by the recollections of a narrator whose perspective ranges from the innocence of childhood to the maturity of a young adult who emerges unbroken from a failed relationship. One such chapters is ‘Nathan’ and here the narrator is the reflective adult with a sophisticated notion of the wide range if meanings ‘silence’ holds.

“Silence” by Marianne Moore‚ written in 2003‚ I feel represents the Literary Modernism movement which was based in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Moore wrote this poem with the “freedom” characteristic
