Explanation:
The question above is about "The Giver", a book written by Louis Lowry, where we are introduced to a society that wants to provide equality for all citizens, allowing everyone to act in the same way and have all the same resources. Although it seems like a utopia, this book presents a dystopia, since this attempt is corrupted and has bad results.
The protagonist of this book is called Jonas, a boy who was chosen to be, the giver, a person who must store the memory of the whole society. It is because of this duty that Jonas begins to realize that he lives in a society, that instead of providing equality and freedom, it provides for imprisonment, sadness and limitations. Jonas finds himself in a society full of rules, where it is forbidden to question, forbidden to lie and forbidden to reflect. He disagrees with all of this, but obeys all the rules, as he is an obedient, respectful and peaceful boy.
Answer:
The meaning behind the statement is that What is done cannot be undone. but that one can prevent it from happening again.
Explanation:
At a time when the Nazis sought to kill all the jews of Europe, Anne was an ordinary girl in an extraordinary time. The events recorded in Anne Franks diary took place during the World war 2. Both prior to the war and throughout the war years, The Nazis continously depicted the Jews as Sub-human and as vermin.
The Franks family had to go into hiding to avoid getting killed. Throughout the families time in hiding, Anne kept a diary of everything that happened. Anne retained a positive outlook on life even though she had to remain hiding.
She still believed that in spite of everything that people are truly good at heart. that what is done cannot be undone but that one can prevent it from happening again. in her words "dont think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains" and that who ever is happy will make others happy too.
Anne Franks believes that no matter what we maybe facing, that we should look up to the heavens and everything will be alright and that the cruelty will end and peace will return.
Asking if i will have the same sentiments about human nature; i would say yes. my reason being that we must continue believing in the best even when faced with the worst.
