Samira Oral History The interview I read about was a female named Lois Ahrens who lived in Northampton with her partner and whose interest is politics.

The story thus reflects the lives of all Jews at the Concentration Camps during the Second World War and gives people further thoughts on the history. I believe that this story will best target the children from age 8-12(early-teenagers) for following reasons: * The book is published with large font size characters and pictures which will favor the children readers.

In your chosen essay, the writer has used various features of writing to construct identity, whether of an individual persona or a group or culture. Discuss the characteristics of the identity constructed, and the techniques used in the construction.
