When it comes to compare and contrast "Zlata's Diary" and "The Diary of a Young Girl", the first aspect that should immediately strike our mind, is how these two stories ended.

On August 4th, 1944, Anne and her whole family was arrested by the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police. They were taken to Westerbork camp, and stayed there about a month. Afterwards, they were all selected and taken to Auschwitz. Anne and her sister Margot went to Bergen Belsen camp. Once they were at that location, there was a typhus epidemic, and Anne Frank was one of the victims at the camp, and died in March 1945.

On the other hand, Zlata Filipovic, was also called "The Anne Frank" of Sarajevo. That is because, just like Anne, she also had a diary and wrote her thoughts and feelings about the Bosnian war.

Anne was hiding from the Nazis, while Zlata was hiding from the gunfire and the snipers that were destroying her Sarajevo. When the gunfire and the siege got much worse, together with her family, Zlata would hide in the nearby cellar.

Despite the war, Zlata was able to go to school, and visit her friends, as long as the gunfire was not too bad. On December 1993, Zlata and her family were saved and taken to Paris, France. She survived.

Which three quotations from the passage best show that the townspeople will continue with their old lives after George leaves to

kogti [31]

The three quotations that best show that the townspeople shall continue with their old lives after George leaves are :

"Beyond the last house on Trunion Pike in Winesburg, there is a great stretch of open fields."

“On the station platform, everyone shook the young man’s hand. More than a dozen people waited about. Then they talked of their own affairs.”

“In two words she voiced what everyone felt. ‘Good luck,’ she said sharply and then turning went on her way.”

<u>Explanation:</u>

The short story, Departure, by Sherwood Anderson, tries to depict the life and habits of people from small towns. It tells about changes, even though hoped for and wished for, at times do not happen if there is no action taken by the people.

The story tells about George, who is probably the first person to pursue his dreams and is going to move out of the town to go to the big city.

As he gets ready to leave his town, he encounters and realizes how certain things about the town will always remain the same.

Like the filed that stretches behind the last house, which has to offer the same view throughout any season. This makes the town and its people used to the same kind of nature that is there in the town.

One of his friends, who rushes to wish him good luck does so by saying so and turning back to leave for her usual life. Even though she too had aspirations to grow and succeed in life, she was not able to do it like George and accepted her way of mundane life in the town.

Lastly, people who came to see off George at the station, ultimately tuned to talk about their affairs, suggesting that they have nothing else to share other than their trivial things.

Thus, these quotations show that life in the town shall remain the same.
