The Holy Grail's The World Was Silent

Decent Essays
The piece of literature I have enjoyed so far is The World Was Silent. The reasons why I have enjoyed this story is because it is about the Holocaust, Learning about the holocaust is so bitter yet strange. It’s sad how all these Jewish folks had to go through because of one person, Adolf Hitler. Over 5 million innocent souls remain lost due to Hitler. Even, children who were born with genetic disorders such as Down syndrome were to be put down in the hospital. In other words, this piece of literature is amazing because you see how concentration camps really were in Jewish folks’ perspective. In conclusion, It’s depressing how so many children had to witness the deaths of their own parents and siblings. The World Was Silent being a great story in addition I surely advocate this story to anybody. I most definitely put in a good word. …show more content…
I have no interest in reading this story, or any story that takes place in the Middle Ages ever. I could care way less. I could compare these two stories by saying that The Holy Grail is like the piece of bread that’s given to the jews in The World Was Silent. Lastly, I can also say that these two pieces of literature are completely opposite. Perceval was written during the middle ages, and The World Was Silent was during the Holocaust so two different eras. The World Was Silent and Perceval, The Holy Grail can hardly be compared since these two pieces of literature are based on two different eras and are based on two totally different stories. Categorically, they are both

    Journal # 1 Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad is a book I read for my University English class. People always say don’t judge a book by it’s cover, but I am that one guy that does. When I first looked at the book to be completely honest, I thought it had something to do with witches or something really unrealistic. I know I have a wild imagination. The first couple of pages of the book got me hooked instantly, I loved how the book just starts and how the narrator gets right into his adventure as a young man into the Congo River.…

    Knowledge is power; power can lead to corruption. The renowned author Tom Clancy once noted that “The control of information is something the elite always does, particularly in a despotic form of government. Information, knowledge, is power.

Both of our main protagonists, a narrator whose name is not stated, and Robert, from the novels The Celestine Prophecy By James Redfield, and The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown bear distinct similarities in representing a religious journey to discover such powerful knowledge.…

    I thought Barn Burning was the best read overall, character development was good for a short story It helped me think about how politics have been around for a lot longer than just the two party system we know today. Although Abner was a thief he was fighting for what he believed in and that spoke to me because he was protesting a class war and with my family barely making the cut for middle class sometimes I can relate to feeling his aggression. The story showed me that being the bad guy never will turn you into the good…

This wasn’t because of a lack of great authors to choose from it was just the product of a lack of general knowledge.
