Sometimes,
when you read a story, it’s not just about the content that you read that makes
it interesting. The topic alone can draw your curiosity from personal interests
or past recollections. While I was searching through the numerous stories, I found
one that had caught my eye. The title of it was “A Father's Memories of
Auschwitz” (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4467864). Even though there wasn’t much there in terms of an actual story, I had
a natural pull to the subject itself.
Recently, I have read the book Night about the holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel. In this book he describes the full effect of the war on him and the Jewish people. He suffered though months of starvation and abuse in multiple concentration camps, including Auschwitz. To see someone else sharing their story enthralls me. It shows true courage when someone faces their devils. It brings back memories that should be forgotten but then again it is the truth.
In class we've learned that sometimes it’s hard to accept the truth but eventually it will catch up with us. One must accept one’s life and make the best of it. In my life I will strive to make the right choices so that I won’t have to live a lie. One of the truths that I can pull from the person I am right now is my strong determination. I push through, thick and thin, to achieve my goals. When writing a story, the author should captivate the reader by making him interested in what the author has to say and in the end wanting more.
