    The aim of historical fiction is to allow the reader to re-experience the social and human motives which led people to think and act as they did in historical reality. Thus, the author would do well to maintain accuracy to the historical record, and as such, Mark Zusak’s The Book Thief offers profound insight into the social attitudes of all shades of German during the Nazi era. While many historical similarities can be found between the novel and reality, a more abstract approach can be used to identify the differences. Though some discrepancies between The Book Thief and the real historical account of WWII are evident, the similarities in terms of the power of words, the importance of death, and the awareness of a citizen during WW2 give the story both a compelling message and historical…

    We live in a world of history, a history of past, history in the making, and a history not yet known. History has a way of affecting people’s lives though we often do not recognize it. Most of us do not come to the realization the daily lives we are living and the world surrounding us will one day be studied in history books. This is especially true for children. What youth often thinks, “One day, people will read about this in school”? For children who are born into a time of unease such as the Great Depression or World War II, this is extraordinarily true. Children born and growing up within difficult times simply assume the situation is a way of life; though they may hear elders speak of difficult times, they know no different life. I had the pleasure of interviewing a gentleman named Kenneth Dwayne McGaughey whose life’s story met this situation. Through stories of history, I will share some of this thoughts and memories with the connections to historical times and events.…

    Through the dim headlights of my old snowmobile, which was on the very last leg of its life, I could see my parents cabin. The small a-frame was a silhouette against the light of the moon. As a young child the cabin felt like a mansion, now it seemed small and dismal. I wanted to remember our pleasant family memories; yet, all I could think about was the horrific incident that took my brothers life 20 years earlier. As I approached the cabin, I parked in a rickety shed. The agony of my brothers death flooded my head and put a lump in my throat. Trying to blink back the tears, out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the shadow of a man. As I turned to get a closer look, all I could see was a lonely bush swaying in the wind. Towards the house, I continued apprehensively. A fresh set of footprints in the snow set my heart racing and hastened my step to the door.…

    On February 14, 2010 life as I knew it changed drastically. I was sitting in class just like every student at Mortimer Jordan High School that day. We were watching a video in History class which seemed to last forever, when suddenly the intercom buzzed and it was for me. I quickly gathered my belongings and my mind began to worry. I never was the kid that missed school especially on game day. Not knowing who would await me at the front desk to leave, I quickly hurried down the hall-way. I turned the corner to see my little mom standing there and I knew something was not right. She looked like her world had fallen apart, with tears rolling down her face she quickly spoke softly to say “I love you, have you had a good day?” With no response I hugged her quickly and we continued home just fast enough for me to find out that my parents were getting a divorce.…
