My partner and I both liked two different pieces, but we talked about them and saw them from each other’s point of view. She really liked poetry. Poetry has a lot of wonderful and unique qualities that could be very good to put into a future paper. However, my favorite novel is The Diary of Anne Frank.

One of the aspect I like most about this novel is the factual side of it. This book has a intriguing factual story about what it was like living through the Holocaust.  I like the way it plays on your emotions on how real all of the things that happened in that time period were. I think it is a good way to grab the readers attention and truly hold it through out the entire novel.

There is another aspect of this novel that is truly my favorite. The format of the book is set up in this fashion. It starts as a normal story, giving the reader some background information and also introducing the main characters. However, it then goes switches to letters, or pages from her diary rather. I absolutely love this because I feel as though it really brings you into the story and makes you feel like you are there going through this horrific thing with Anne Frank. By using these letters or diary pages you can be very detailed as to what is happening around her, which can really enhance the story. I was already drawn in during the introduction, but after the first diary entry, I could not put the book down until I was finished! 🙂
