Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - History of Literature, Eras, grade: 95, , language: English, abstract: A research paper on "How effective did anti-war and anti-Nazism writers articulate themselves?"Historical time periods are in most cases themes of literature and inspire writers; to express their opinions; to reflect these periods ; and to enlighten people. So literature and history have been always grown together interdependently. Similarly, one of the most inspireful eras is time interval between World War I and II. As the narrator of Böll's satire, Christmas Not Just Once a Year writes, war had enormous effect on the writers of wartime:During the years 1939 to 1945 there was a war on. In wartime there is a lot of singing, shooting, talking, fighting, starving and dying -- and bombs are dropped, all disagreeable things with which I have no intention of boring my contemporaries. I must merely mention them because the war had a bearing on the story I wish to tell (qtd. in Reid 2).Almost every German artist wanted to articulate his/her view on war in different ways, but how exactly did they raise their voices? Nevertheless, their views of wartime differ. On the one hand, some authors wrote against either Nazi ideology or war; while on the other hand some writers wrote in favor of either Nazi regime or war. However, German writers against Hitler or war articulated themselves better, because even though it is prohibited to write against the government, they were courageous enough to criticize leaders and to discuss people's attitudes and point of views towards war, and the conditions of wartime.

Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, grade: 100, , language: English, abstract: The Last Song is written by #1 New York Times Bestselling author Nicholas Sparks and released on [1]September 8, 2009 by Grand Central Publishing . Also it was the number one on the weekly bestseller chart of New York Times Best Sellers List on September 18, 2009, and many reviews were written about The Last Song. Besides them, its new movie has been started to play on the cinemas in the U.S.A. since March 31, 2010, so this book is so popular and remarkable, because the characters¿ behaviours and qualities are created uniquely, the book really impacts on our lives, and some religious informations and sacred books are related with the characters¿ situations and the events in the book. First of all, the writer creates the characters and gives them some behaviours uniquely. Firstly , the change in Ronnie from a stubborn girl to a mature young lady makes the book more remarkable and special. For example, the novel states that ¿It was the first time since she¿d been here that she¿d spoken to him without a hint of anger or frustration. ¿ (pg.104) (...) Another reason why this book is remarkable is that the writer really impacts on our lives. First of all, this novel teaches us that there are significant moments that we mustn¿t miss them and mustn¿t regret what we miss. One example of this is ¿I was so mean to him. I quit the piano! I blamed him for everything, and I didn¿t say more than a few words to him for three years! Three years! And I can¿t get those years back. But maybe if I hadn¿t been so angry, he might not have gotten sick. Maybe I caused that exträ stress that did all this. Maybe it was me!¿(pg. 321) (...) Finally, some religious informations and sacred books are related with the characters¿ situations and the events in the book appropriately. Firstly, in this novel there are things about presence of God, praying and hope. The novel states that ¿(¿)Never forget that God is your friend. (¿)He longs to hear what¿s been happening in your life. Good or bad, whether it¿s been full of sorrow or anger, and even when you¿re questioning why terrible things have to happen. So I talk with him.¿ (pg.165) (...) As a final word, the characters¿ behaviours, situations and creations are unique, and the book really has an effect on our lives ,and using religious connections make the book more remarkable. (...)There are also journal entries and vocabulary.
