Question 2 and 5...and 9
2: Wow Christine, you've been busy! I like the colours by the way :) Anyway, onto the metaphor question. I did a broken mirror for my metaphor of Georg because even though you can try to pick up all the peices and put them back in the frame, the reflection is distorted, and there are chips and cracks in the mirror. haha, my artistic representation was kind of lame though... :) just wondering, what did you guys do for the artistic part?
christine, i really like your metaphor, because you're right about Georg keeping himself together and not giving up on life, and your observations about him not really realizing the...enormity (for lack of better word) of his situation.
cassandra, i really like your's because the imagery is so strong, and water is one of the worlds most powerful forces. the fact that he's starting crack is related to the book because you can compare the goerg before he was taken away, and the georg after he's lived in the concentration camp for so long.
5: The word "fatelessness" isn't even a real word, but i like it much better than the first title, "fateless". i think it might be called fatlessness becauseit seems to georg like the war will go on forever. wow, i didn't think i could put that in words. i love the picture on the cover of the book, the one of the traintracks that go on forever. it explains what i can't really put into words. in one passage of the book, georg compares his situation to that of a train, how it keeps going, and he doesn't know when or where it's going to stop.
9:-Kertesz traces path of the ordinary through the center of horror
christine, where did you find this?! I love the direct way of saying wht i've been trying to convey this whole time! i think that the reason it's a "path of the ordinary" was because Georg was just an ordinary teenager, swept up into something beyond his control, and wherever you go, i believe you leave a path behind, whether good or bad. georg left his path, the one of an innocent boy, a victim of one cruel, disturbed man's doing. AKA hitler.
this is just kind of my personal thouhgts, not an answer to one of the questions. hitler, before he was elected, promised germans food, work, and hope, things that had been lacking for so long. he promised to pull germany out of the hole it was in, and into a new world, one where germany could become a superpower, one where germans could have work , food on their tables, and freedom. once elected, hitler maintained his promises, but used horrible means to get there. i have two questions, and you guys don't have to answer them , just if you're as interested in this as i am:
for hitler, did the ends justify his means?
and also, do you think that the majority of germans regretted electing hitler, or do you think they didn't notice hat he was doing until it was too late?
