Sarah's Key Reflection
During the chapters that I read of Sarah’s Key, (taken place in the olden days) many events took place. In the first couple chapters, Sarah, was trying as much as she could to take her, at the moment depressing mind off of the horrible situation she was in. She was remembering her friend, Armelle who had always been strong even through the hardest times. Sarah pretended to be like her brave friend so that she could be able to get through the cold and unbearable night. The bulk of the chapters that I read, took place in the train through the camps. In these chapters, Sarah and the rest of the Jews in the warehouse were harshly escorted out to a train station where the Jews were pointed and laughed at by the non-Jews. Once Sarah arrived

    This chapter starts up in the hospital. Esther is having a very hard time in the hospital since her suicide attempt. With the stories she describes, it is very apparent that people are looking at her as if she is a freak. Esther looked at herself in the mirror in the hospital and could not believe the face staring back at her. Her face was bruised and her hair was gone. I think at that moment it was more than just looking at herself. She realized all the bruises and the haircut, but she also realized how everything has affected her. Her face was representing her feelings and emotional state as well, bruised and beat up. Since she was so shocked by her appearance, she dropped the mirror. When Esther dropped the mirror the nurses became upset…

    Ronald Takaki examines the struggles Mexicans faced in obtaining equal rights in his book, A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America. According to Takaki, the American people and government affected Mexican lifestyles through encroachment on their rights, starting just before the Mexican-American War.

    Everyone reacts differently to stories, books and facts about history. Everyone has their own opinion. The horrible events that happened in France during 1942 tend to make people today feel powerless, emotions of anger and rage. However, if someone thought the opposite of this, a persuasive book like Tatiana De Rosnay’s Sarah’s Key, would definitely change their mind. Analyzing this book in the literary lens, you can understand the author’s opinion, and how she develops it throughout the story. The way she explained the situations of the Vel’ d’Hiv from two points of view: a 10 year old girl experiencing this shocking event, and an American journalist in France, in 2002; gives you every detail of everything that was happening in France during those times, and the facts that we know today.…

    Hernando Washington

    • 507 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Hernando Washington kidnaps Sarah Gould as she was leaving her work at the hospital, at this time Hernando had no intentions or hurting Sarah in any way. Hernando’s excuse for taking Sarah was solely because he wanted money and he believed she had some. Hernando seemed to give Sarah many unspoken chances to leave or escape, but she never took the chance. Many questions rose from this, and why Sarah never tried to escape Hernando. Quite possibly she never tried to escape Hernando because he kept telling her he was not going to hurt her and she had a hope that he was telling the truth. Sarah Gould may have had a belief that if she had done everything he asked, she would leave Hernando’s possession alive. There is no definite answer on why Sarah did not try to escape from Hernando, she was on her own and had to make a decision that no one could imagine themselves experiencing. After being with Hernando for some time, he saw no issues with raping her and keeping her in his trunk until he took care of business. He made her bounce back and forth between the car and trunk so no one would see her with him. I believe she did not try to escape Hernando because she was in fear, although he kept saying that he was not going to hurt her, she likely thought that if she tried to leave he would kill her. Sarah Gould had to be in fear of her life with Hernando,…

    My conclusion, as I took this class my understanding of Christians has being a good outlook for me, in the way that God wants us to live. As I have outline about Jesus did not claim to be God, but he did state that I am the Fathers and Son. And if a person is a Christian, does it matter how they live their life, yes it does because they are suppose to be God leader in order to help others come to God. The local church can communicate God’s love to the community by going out and taking time to help the community understand the meaning of God.…
