                   “It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank, is about a girl, Anne, who tells her side of what going on in her life both before and during the Holocaust. Throughout the book Anne is determined and positive. In the future I will want Diary of a Young Girl be turned into a movie.

He is a boy who believes in mothers, angels, and bread. He also wants to be a Nazi some day, until the day he suddenly changes his mind.

And again the night would be long."Night, by Elie Wiesel, is about a young Jewish boy, who is changed by the Nazi death camp horror, into a tortured witness to the death of his family, his innocence, and of his God.

              “Sarah Starzynski had toiled up that very road. She had walked past where I was standing now, and she had turned left, into the camp.”Sarah’s key, by Tatiana De Rosnay, is about Sarah, a ten year-old, who is arrested with her family by the French police, her 4 year old brother, terrified, climbs into his hiding place in a long cupboard and the girl, thinking she is protecting him, locks him in and puts the key in her pocket, promising she’ll be back for him soon. The rest of the family is taken away as neighbors watch, some mocking them, and a few standing up for them and demanding to know why. Sarah is a determined and brave girl through the story. I would like to see the role of Sarah Starzynski be played by Anne Hathaway in the movie.
