This story always kept me on edge, as I wanted to find out more about the story. Hitler’s daughter is a very interesting and captivating book. I would love to read the rest of Jackie French’s collection of war based books. She is an amazing author who takes you on a journey with her story. I strongly recommend this book for high schools students and
From the beginning when we were first introduced to Dee, we find that she has changed her name to Wangero saying that Dee is “dead” because she didn’t think her name, Dicie, had any cultural significance and so she choice a name she felt suited her more. She says she couldn’t bear being named after people who oppress her. She has no connection or respect with her family. This is sad because she doesn’t like who she once was. Although she has learned a lot from her schooling and has a better knowledge than her mom & sister, I feel she possesses this know-it-all attitude about what heritage really is.
Penina Beede Honors World Literature Paul Zindel Play Essay Friday, October 5, 2012 Tillie Hunsdorfer, as the Marigold After a person goes through something, no matter how awful the experience was, the person knows he or she has been shaped based on that event.

With nothing to do, he explores and finds Shmuel, a Jewish boy that is being held in the camp. They become good friends but their friendship leads Bruno to a mistaken death. The authors of these two texts use similar themes to convey a story of relationships within the books. The relationships within these two stories both witness death. In The Book Thief, Liesel and Rudy both face death; Liesel more so than Rudy as she has to deal with the loss of not only her entire family but also the loss of her best friend.
Postmodernism follows a likening of aleatory writing: those which incorporate an element of randomness or chance; left to chance, uncertain style or uncertain outcome. This is evident in the first section of my narrative, in which the girl, named Amosa Azaziah, turns into a body of light which saves all the Jewish people of Warsaw. Therefore, the miraculous transfiguration of the girl is an example of an element of randomness and chance, which is a postmodern feature. Another reason why my narrative is an appropriation of the Holocaust is the use of postmodern trends and strategies, including religious beliefs, background of characters and nature of the self. These three aspects of postmodern literature are very suitable for narratives because they centre on the characters and their aspects.
A voice from beyond the grave. ‘Shooting Stars’ by Carol-Ann Duffy is a poem which speaks of the horrific ordeal of a female Jew who died in the Holocaust. When people think of heroic acts and glory, they often think of the great battles fought and won. What they fail to consider is that the greatest heroic figures are often the most unexpected ones. Duffy’s haunting imagery and word choice tell a poem like no other.
All I ever wanted, all I ever need from her was to feel and be loved. But I guess she only feels of me, how her mother feels of her, HATE.. A mothers loves is precious, something a person can embrace everytime they feel melancholy or unwanted. A mothers hate is cruel, and when u know and feel deep down in your heart that your mother hates u, you sometimes feel not even god loves you, You feel unloved, and unwanted by people who should love you, but really don't So you're blinded when you find someone who truly loves you... I now know that someone does love me, and his name is GOD, he's loved me all along and I let the hate from my mother blind me of that. He's loved me even when I thought I hated him.., I dont know how I could ever hate the only person who's held love for me since day one.
Her passing away was horrifying, and I would like to think that she is now in a better place. At the time I told my youngest sister that our grandmother is ‘cured’ from illness, her soul ‘rests in peace’ and ‘happy in heaven’, to make the experience less agonizing. Has this had a lasting effect on how you view death and do you think it would have been better for you and your sister not to have viewed your grandmother in a mortuary? Block 1 provides a number of euphemisms in our language to describe what happens after death. Mediums and Spiritualists use expressions as ‘crossing over’, ‘passing over’ or
‘Refugee Blues’ is about a Jewish couple who become refugees because of Nazi persecution of the Jews in the 1930’s; they are most likely to be staying in another European country after the persecution. ‘The Last Night’ is about a mixed group of German Jews, including very young children who are waiting to be taken to a concentration camp. The Jews were being hunted down by the Nazis because of what they believed in. ‘Refugee Blues’ focuses on the misfortune of being Jewish; creating sympathy at the hopeless situation of the Jews, “Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes: Yet there’s no place for us.” While non-Jews are housed with mansions or even holes, the Jews still have nowhere live, not even a hole. Similarly, ‘The Last Night’ also focuses on the misfortune of the Jews; it shows that the Jews, including very young children, are in their last moments of freedom and shows how the misfortune of being in the wrong place, at the wrong time, would lead to their deaths, “Many of the adults refused to drink because they knew it meant breakfast, and therefore departure.
