The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank, Zlata’s Diary: A Child’s Life in Sarajevo by Zlata Filipovic; The Wave by Todd Strasser;
Remember to answer each in a separate post.
Think about the these three books and some of the themes they represent, such as racism, fear, power, intolerance, authority, resilience, etc. Both Anne Frank and Zlata Filipovic lived in difficult times where people were treated differently because of who they are. Pick 2 positive and 2 negative themes from each story and discuss why you think those themes are relevant to the those stories and how they affected you.
The Wave is a high school experiment that relates to the Nazis and the Holocaust. If your class did this experiment, describe how you think it might go. What kind of person do you think you would be during this experiment and how would you react to things?
Looking at all three stories and looking at yourself, write a short story with you being a character in a situation similar to the characters in these stories.
