"The Diary of Anne Frank" Theme

So far we have only watched a small part of the movie "The Diary of Anne Frank." But, with what I have seen, I think that her friends, and what she wrote in her diary, purposely or not, that it show how ungrounded hate vs people leads to horrible things. We see that Nazis have ungrounded hate vs the Jews. And, we also see that unfounded acts of cruelty or hate or anger affects people. The Nazis affect the Jews. The Jews affect each other. The Jews affect genarations to come.

Thats what I see so far, I will keep you updated.

What do I know about the Holocaust?

I know that it was a brutal kill of Jewish people. It happened around World War II. I know that people were killed without reason or care, it was just pure, without a real reason, hate vs Jewish people.

What is Prejudice? I think that Prejudice is just biased hate vs a kind of person or group of people. I have seen Prejudice where I used to live. Before I moved here to Korea, I lived in a very southern part of Tennessee. When I moved there, it was like I moved 5 years back into history. There was a lot of Prejudice against new people. It was a "good 'ol boy" system. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. I had a hard time making friends in schools there because I "Talcked fuhny." I have seen people being harassed and called names because they were not from south. That was another reason that I became home schooled.

"Lost Names" climax

The last part of the book. The narrator is now in high school, but is really learning very little. Now, all the "high scholars" are just doing hard labor for the "Empire." His mother comes to see him, and he decides to go home. He is home for a very short period of time before the emperor makes an announcement, allegedly of a new weapon that can destroy the allied forces. The emperor comes on the radio and...says that Korea is free, Japan is conquered, and for all Japanese troops to go to the homeland immediately. The people are over-joyed and the rest of the book is a sum-up of Japanese people leaving, getting kicked out, or (the people we see almost) getting killed.

Just some fond memories

"Lost Names"

The book "Lost Names" takes place in South Korea around the late 30s to the mid 40s. The Japanese have annexed Korea and they are just getting raw materials and work out of Korea. The Koreans are having hard ships because the Japanese are taking all the good (white) rice. Even though the main characters family is well known and well off they can't even buy the white rice, thats how scarce it is. The last chapter I read, the story was in winter, harsh winter. Thats about all the setting there is on the book so far. I will update soon.

Lost Names Chapter 1

The "Lost Names" book I am reading is very interesting. The narrator never actually has mentioned his name the main characters name. I think this is kind of a motif, you know..."Lost Names?" So the...boy (main character) is a baby and headed to Manchuria. His family is trying to get out of Japanese terrine. The father in the book is a protester vs the Janapese rule. He is taken and beaten by the thought police. The mother waits for many hours in the cold snow untill the father staggers to the train, house, shack, thing. Then, at the end of the chapter, off the Manchuria!
