LITERARY ELEMENTS
ELEMENTS GENERAL ANALYSIS
CHARACTERS Leon Leyson, Oskar Schindler”s, The Jews In the factory, Leyson Family, The Nazi officials
SETTINGS Narewka, Krakow Ghetto, Plaszow
concentration camp, The factory, Holocaust
PLOT ● Exposition: We can say that the
memories began in Leyson's childhood since they lived in a small town called Narewka, Made in Poland. They were able to establish a united family, traditions, customs, and an easy and quiet life that they led before the war. Readers are introduced to Lathan's candor and the closeness of her family bond. ● Pine action: In this pine action of history we can say that many things happen, such as the Nazi occupation of Poland. Leyson and his family are forced to move to the Krakow ghetto, where they could face poverty and the increasing search for adults/children. Leyson begins to describe in detail the deterioration of conditions, the loss of many human beings,and the fear they constantly had. ● The climax of the story occurs when the family and Leyson are sent to the Plaszow concentration camp. Here we see Leyson as a savage facing the reality of our holocaust. He endures very hard work, he witnesses brutal acts of violence, and struggles to survive in conditions of extreme inhumanity.
CONFLICTS ● Here we can say that in Leyson's
conflict and the distress they were able to rein in the Nazi, who sought to dehumanise and examine the Jews. He and his family faced many things such as discrimination, search, and the loss of some basic rights that existed while they were able to navigate a hateful society. ● This Leyson conflict and the harsh conditions they experienced in their life is an environment devastated by the war that they lived and suffered. ● The deep internal conflict is his struggle with his own fear, despair beyond what I can imagine, and his struggle to maintain hope in the face of incredible panic. So that in the countryside you can find the strength to stick together and survive against any difficulties.
THEMES ● The first theme is Leon Leyson's
story about how to survive the Holocaust, and be able to endure the difficulties they had of being able to live in concentration camps that could highlight all the unexpected strength of humans and the help, perseverance of being able to do what better to be able to survive and be able to face what they can. ● We can say that in Leyson's experience when he was a child/baby he witnessed the terror of the Holocaust and was forced to be able to highlight many obligations to be able to grow up quickly in a world full of deaths, violence, and hatred, terror was able to highlight the immensely profound impact of such a war that they had on his childhood and therefore on that of his family and the loss of simplicity that accompanied us to such terrifying, traumatic, ugly events.
● In Leon's relationship with Oskar,
who was the one who saved him and other people from the official Jews from being able to employ them in Leon's factory, he shows his acts of compassion, perseverance, trust, courage in the midst of a regime of wild, dangerous, and dehumanising.
