1. Write a four paragraph literary essay in response to the following question. Be sure to include a thesis statement in your in
Aloiza [94]

We can determinate in both stories that definitely the outside conditions can determinate and influenciate the protagonists decisions and the ways they finally choose for the rest of their lives.

<em>Barrio boy </em>and <em>No gumption </em>have a common point: the external conditions are  extremely unfavorable for life development of the main characters: in Galarza´s tale, the family had to emigrate to another country due to violence generated for revolution, and in the case of Baker´s autobiobraphy is the big depression the main reason which his mother searched a job as a newspapers seller.

Even we can find a very clear difference between stories: In Galarza´s story, the main character found a real interest and genuine curiosity about his fate, the fact to constantly traveling and face another cultures; while in Baker´s tale, show us a kid totally unhappy with his job that confirm us an evident lack of interest for the one.

Finally we can highlight that, in <em>barrio boy</em>, constantly travelling and the workers world contact and their daily live give to the author the opportunity to become in an union worker and in that way fell himself identified with their cause; In <em>No gumption </em>the author when he finally found out he is not a good newspapers salesman, not even care to try it to be a good one, find the way to begin to write and finally realized he is a good writer.

What other works of literature, art, or music do you know that convey a theme found in Night? Explain why you find this treatmen
Grace [21]

Answer:

please give brainliest i spent so long on this lol.

Explanation:

The movie Unbroken, based on the life and imprisonment of WWII soldier Louis Zamperini, closely parallels the themes seen in the book <em>Night </em>by Elie Wiesel. Both storylines are based on personal, true events of the narrator, with the movie portraying the harrowing details of a World War II soldier through a young actor's body. Both share themes of courage, perseverance, and through a first-person point of view, these pieces of art are able to put a lens up to the past. In the movie <em>Unbroken</em>, a WWII soldier gets captured and is forced into a Japanese war prisoner camp that tested its prisoners' emotional, mental, and physical strength. In <em>Night </em>by Elie Wiesel, the author shares his experiences as a Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz and Nazi concentration camps. Through their experiences and ability to convey this through visual media and material, both pieces share themes of suffering without hope and one's ability to persevere despite the odds against them.
