Simon’s Forgiveness To, “forgive and forget,” is a phrase often used to simplify our method of moving on from a negative experience that may occur in our lives. Many of the time, our reasons for granting forgiveness are selfish ones, in which we accept an apology unwillingly for the sake of the apologizer’s conscience.

In our story, a younger Simon resides in a Nazi concentration camp during World War Two, when, one afternoon, he is approached by one of the camp nurses and is asked, “are you a Jew?” After confirming, Simon is lead to the bedside of Karl, a terminal SS officer.

The author uses many points of irony and symbolism within the story to create a more in depth and interesting plot for the readers.
It is this passion guides a character’s actions not rationality, because one’s passions are often dreams or ideas and cannot be logically explained. The novel A Separate Peace, by John Knowles and the movie The Dead Poets Society written by Tom Schulman both illustrate this. In A Separate Peace, Gene, a student at Devon, wants to be like Finny, his best friend and roommate, this passion, this emotion, guides him though the story.
