...stories made a big impression on he’s life. Children during the Holocaust. “United States Holocaust Memorial Museum”. Web. May 8 2014. “Children during the holocaust” (2013), prove that children were especially vulnerable doing the holocaust because the Nazis advocate killing children of “unwanted” or “dangerous” groups in accordance with their ideological views, either as part of the “racial struggle” or as a measure of preventative security. The Germans and their collaborators killed as many as 1.5 million children. The fate of Jewish and non-Jewish children can be categorized in the following way: 1) children killed when they arrived in killing centers; 2) children killed immediately after birth or in institutions; 3) children born in ghettos and camps who survived because prisoners hid them; 4) children, usually over age 12, who were used as laborers and...

...second largest minority group in the United States. This paper is based on a study of the characteristics and practices of low-income Mexican-American consumers in East Los Angeles and of the retail enterprises serving that community. While the challenges facing business in meeting the demands of the Mexican-American population are great, outstanding opportunities exist for improving the distribution of goods and services to this important segment of the market. During the 1960's, the American business community generally has shown a growing awareness of the problems of poverty, minority group estrangement, and civil disorder. Business firms have become involved in programs to train and hire unemployed Negroes in urban slums. The Negro ghettos have also been the target for business- and/or government-sponsored attacks on slum housing, inadequate medical facilities, outdated educational plants and methods, meager recreation facilities, and a host of other problems. The riots in cities throughout the nation were clearly a major stimulus for these action programs. During 1966 and 1967, an extensive study was conducted in East Los Angeles. Nearly 1,300 questionnaires and observation forms were completed in an effort to answer three basic questions: 1 / What are the characteristics of low-income Mexican- American consumers? 2 / What are the characteristics and practices of the retailing firms serving these consumers? 3 / What are the opportunities and challenges facing business...

Chai described Nea as a very naïve, but also a very compassionate girl. She would always refer to her family as a hard working group of people who wanted the best in life, that simply just couldn't gain an advantage.

She described there upbringing as being rough as they once lived in the violent and harsh neighborhoods in Texas.

Their father was laying face down with a bullet in his neck. Puddles of red stained the floor. They could still hear their mothers cries as she got dragged out of the apartment. There the two children stood as orphans no place to go. Chapter 1 Alone (Nava)- I don’t remember much before it happened. All I can remember was my mom scrambling to hide Asher and I from the Nazis.

...1 Schindler’s List The movie, by Steven Spielberg, stretches over 6 years, from 1939 to 1945, at the beginning World War II to the end of the Nazi regime. The movie follows Oskar Schindler, a Nazi made famous by saving 1.100 Jews from Auschwitz IIBirkenau. In 1939, the Nazis relocated the Polish Jews to the Krakow Ghetto, divided into two sections: A (Jews able to work) and B (Elderly and the infirm) as World War II began. Oskar Schindler comes to town in hopes that he can make money on the war, and he starts out by making many important Nazis his friends. Schindler starts up an Enamelware fabric, using Jews instead of Poles, because they are cheaper. He hires Izthak Stern, a Jewish accountant, to basically run his business, and as Stern hired the Jews, he made sure they were made Essential Workers, meaning they would be spared from concentration camps and/or death. Amon Goeth arrives in Krakow, where he will be overseeing Plazów concentration camp, a camp for the Jews of the Krakow Ghetto. Goeth orders the Krakow Ghetto section B to be exterminated and sends the section A Jews to Plazów. Schindler watches as the Nazis kills and terrorizes the Jewish Ghetto and obviously gains sympathy. Schindler befriends Goeth and talks/bribes him into letting some of the Jews work in his factory/sub-camp, this allows Schindler to both have his business run smoothly (by the help of Stern, who also helps Schindler bribe SS officials) and protect the Jews. While staying in Plazów Goeth picks...

...The Gray Zone by Primo Levi – Summary In the chapter, the gray zone, the author Primo Levi describes the human relationships inside the Lager. In describing the gray zone, Levi discusses the different roles of prisoners assigned by the Nazi. The prisoners that did the work were seen as being more privileged which at the end of the day helped them get more food and live better. Therefore, the concept of the gray zone is analyzing the difference between the privileged and the non-privileged in the Lager. The difference can be seen by the tasks that the prisoners carried out, for example, one of the groups were seen as, “Low ranking functionaries... sweepers, kettle washers, night watchmen, bed smoothers... checkers of lice and scabies, messengers, interpreters, assistants’ assistants. In general, these people poor devils like ourselves, who worked full time like everyone else but who for an extra half liter of soup were willing to carry out these and other ‘tertiary’ functions.” This group was seen as harmless and not much different than the underprivileged. The other group of prisoners in the Lager was seen as the enemies to their own people. They were referred to as the Kapos who were “free to commit the worst atrocities on their subject as punishment for any transgressions, or even without any motive whatsoever: until the end of 1943 it was not unusual for a prisoner to be beaten to death by a Kapo without the latter having to fear any sanctions.” The prisoners that became...

...THE PIANIST; THE COLOR OF THE HUMAN SPIRT Color conveys meaning to us in many different ways. We associate color with emotions in our daily lives. Red is the color of love. Blue is the color of sadness. Yellow the color of sunshine and so on. These types of color association are ingrained in our subconscious. In film, color often speaks to us psychologically and allows us a broader understanding of the story being told. The color contrasts in the film The Pianist allows the viewer an understanding of the extreme emotional distress, sadness and despair of the characters. Color emphasizes the differences between the life of the Polish and that of the Jewish people separated only by a dark wall Through the multiple layers of color symbolization the viewer is able to recognize first the happiness and normalcy of the Szpilman family. The film opens with brightly colored scenes and their daily life of the Jewish and Polish in Warsaw. The appearance of the characters is clean with rich and colorful clothing. Wladyslaw, the protagonist, is dressed in soft blue suits giving him a very content and soft appearance. The apartment in which the Szpilman family lives is full of warm colors and rich furniture. There is a welcoming atmosphere and a comfortable, homey feel to the apartment. When outside the sun is shining and people smile in the streets. The Jewish people interact with the Polish comfortably, there seems to be no noticeable differences between the two nationalities living in...

...Life in the Warsaw Ghetto In September 1939 the Germans took control of Poland and Warsaw after a three week siege. There was no love lost between the Germans and the Poles and it soon became clear that the Nazis, considering themselves a 'Master Race', valued Polish life at next to nothing. As was later demonstrated, on an unprecedented scale, this was one step up from the value they put on Jewish life. There were about 350,000 Jews in the Warsaw city before the war. There were the second largest Jewish community in the world behind New York City. Germans disliked Jews and discriminatory against them. Therefore when the Germans invaded Poland and captured Warsaw, they separated the Jews and the other Poles by asking them to wear white armbands with a blue star David on it. They then moved all the Jews into a designated area in the city and built a 10 feet high wall around it. The wall was topped with barbed wire and was heavily guarded. The Ghetto was closed to the outside world and the Jews were forced to a slow death. Thus the Warsaw Ghetto was born. The living quarters in the Ghetto were very cramped and congested. Almost 400,000 Jews were squeezed into an area of 1.3 square miles with seven persons per each room. As there was no way out of the Ghetto, food was in short supply. Between 1940 and 1942, 83,000 Jews died of starvation. There were no medicines available to cure diseases either. The life inside the Ghetto was one of poverty and hardship. However...

...balance.The collection begins with “The Sun, the Moon, the Stars.” Yunior paints a cynical picture of the upscale Dominican resort to which his girlfriend has dragged him on the eve of their ailing relationship’s demise: “A goddamn fortress, walled away from everybody else,” with “beaches so white they ache to be trampled.” Isolated there, he finds himself surrounded by “Garcías and Colóns” who “come to relax after a long month of oppressing the masses,” and the “melanin deficient Eurofucks” who look like “budget Foucaults … too many of them in the company of a dark-assed Dominican girl.”In this passage, as in much of Díaz’s work, Yunior interrupts his narrative descriptions to directly address the reader—“Let’s just say my abuelo has never been here, and neither has yours,” and “Chill here too long and you’ll be sure to have your ghetto pass revoked, no questions asked.” This technique creates a sense of intimacy, at the same time foregrounding the fact that Díaz writes with a very specific reader in...

...produced were in black and white, and even though you get an idea of what the destruction and devastation was like, nothing will prepare you for seeing the devastation on all sides of the war in a color video format. “World War II in Color: Total War” is an unbiased documentary that was aired on the A&E Network in the year 2000. This documentary was put together using diary entries, letters, and interviews of those who lived through World War II on all sides of the war. Some of the diary entries were horrifying to listen to, but when set to video of the event it really brought home how horrible this war was to live through by the civilians living in hard-hit cities. Mary Borg was a seventeen year old Jewish girl who lived in the Warsaw Ghetto and wrote in her diary about the great number of children left to be orphans because their parents were killed and how this affected them. She talked about how malnourished they were and how they looked like monkeys instead of children. These words were chilling in themselves, but to view the video of these small children ranging in ages of three years old and up made you want to cry. This documentary also highlights the thoughts of soldiers fighting this war and some of the thoughts they had while killing others or running for their lives. Pvt. Harry Melart, a German soldier, wrote a letter home to his wife a week before his death that talked about how the battlefield disgusts him and he did not want to see bodies or blood anymore. Marine...

...Ours is a growing and wonderful community. With growth, however, come greater challenges and even greater opportunities. Our community consists of many people from many different cultures and with growth it will become even more diverse. We have all seen tragedies unfold in schools across the country and as made evident by the necessity of our bullying policy, the issues of ignorance and intolerance are also alive and well here at home. This is why we must address issues surrounding cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is simply the blending of different cultures – people with different backgrounds, routines, looks, beliefs, styles of dress all coming together to form a community. The challenge is do we continue to stick our head in the sand and hope that our children will not fear, bully our outcast those who are different than them? Do we hope that consequences will alleviate bullying? Or do we take a proactive stance by educating them on their differences and teaching them that diversity is a positive thing? I know, as parents, that we don’t want our children put in the position we’ve seen played out so many times on the news. They can be taught that our society can and should be viewed as a body. Each part is different and cannot be compared to another, but also cannot exist in a full or healthy manner without the other. We need to learn and teach our children, even learn with them, to celebrate the differences in others. Encourage them to be curious about worlds...

...be found in the movie. What’s more, the lighting in this film is high-key lighting which connotes the meaning of happiness and serenity. Moreover, the mode of address in this film is indirect to the audience which was used the third person angle to encode the meaning to the audience. On the other hand, I choose this movie because of few reasons. Firstly, I love the main character- Zac Efron very much. He has acted in many teenage romance films before, for instance, High School Musical 1, 2 and3. After I watched the High School Musical, I admire his out-looking and his acting skills. Therefore, I choose this film. Besides, the narrative of this movie is very special, which is a non-linear structure and always include some flashback scenes. Firstly, I am going to analyzing the narrative structure of this text. As Todorov mentioned; narrative structure can be divided into 5 parts, which are equilibrium, disequilibrium conflict, recognition of disequilibrium, attempt to...
