Quote: “The weak die out and the strong will survive, and will live on forever” I chose this quote because it represents the mother’s nature. Book: Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl Arthur: Anne Frank Setting Anne Frank’s diary begins on Sunday, June 14, 1942, during World War II. At this time, thirteen-year-old Anne and her family live in Amsterdam. Shortly after Netherlands was occupied by Nazis, the Jews begin receiving “call up notices” and are sent to concentration camps. When Margot, Anne’s sister, is told to report to Nazis Headquarters, her father realizes that the family must hide and arranges for them to stay at the “Secret Annex” above Otto Frank’s office.
In her short story Winter Night ,Kay Boyle writes about a babysitter who has experienced the horrors of the holocaust and who sees a little girl in Felicia, the seven year old she’s babysitting, that she took care of at a concentration camp in the holocaust. “it was not a school, but still there were a lot of children there. It was a camp-that was the name the place had; it was a camp. It was a place where they put people until they could decide what was to be done with them” I believe the purpose for the babysitter in this story is to show what type of hardships of people in Kay Boyles life have gone through. I believe she also wrote about the babysitter to show that she’s the one who can truly comfort Felicia because she’s gone through experiences unimaginable compared to Felicia’s mother.
When she had to flee because she was a mutant David lost a big part of himself too. A quote from the book that describes David`s feelings are “I lay, there, picturing Sophie and her parents plodding their way southward towards the dubious safety of the Fringes, and and hoping desperately that they would be far enough off now for my betrayal not to hurt them.”(pg.53) This passage clearly shows David`s and Sophie’s great friendship because it uses words like desperately and not to hurt them which show how much David cared for Sophie. The second person David lost was his aunt. Aunt Harriet came one day to ask David`s family to commit a crime. She asked David`s mom if she could use Petra for the mutant inspection.
The “things” of the title that O’Brien’s characters carry are both literal and figurative. While they all carry heavy physical loads, they also all carry heavy emotional loads, composed of grief, terror, love, and longing. Each man’s physical burden underscores his emotional burden. Henry Dobbins, for example, carries his girlfriend’s pantyhose and, with them, the longing for love and comfort. Similarly, Jimmy Cross carries compasses and maps and, with them, the responsibility for the men in his charge.
In Anglo Saxon wedding rituals bouquets were symbolized to frighten away evil spirits because they were made of such strong herbs. Also bride’s maids wore similar dresses to confuse evil spirits. Even though, modern folks of today’s time believe that dragons were mystical, Anglo Saxons could beg to differ. This being said because they played such a significant role to their culture. Symbolism standing alone, is very significant to art and

Her strength only grew as she was locked in the Red Room by her aunt. Her aunt’s lack of care led Jane to be happy when she was sent away from their home in Gateshead, and to the school Lowood Academy, where she could begin her quest for love. Jane was sent to the Lowood Institution, a school for orphans. Here at Lowood Jane found kindness and acceptance from Helen Burns, another student a few years older than Jane. Jane soon shows to Helen how much love truly means to her by telling her: If others don’t love me, I would rather die than live– I cannot bear to be solitary and hated, Helen.
The governess, Dorian Gray’s female counterpart, has a dual obsession with the well-being of Miles and Flora, the children whom she cares for. She also obsesses over the belief that these children interact with malevolent forces, which as a result, shows that the governess subjects her own self to misfortune throughout the novel. From the moment the governess arrives at Bly, the estate where she begins working to take care of the children, she decides to become a godmother to them in order to guide and protect them, protection that clearly proves excessively invasive. Noticing that the relationship between the governess and the children flourished not too long ago, she still insists that she fulfill their need for sociability and accompany them at all times. The governess becomes captivated by everything that the children do and everywhere that they go, and on one occasion, she reports to Mrs. Grose that the “romance of the nursery, the mere presence of the children, and the poetry of the schoolroom” (James 26) excites her to the point of no return.
