In Trafficked the main character's name is Hannah. She comes to the U.S. Illegally to a house with a Russian family. She acts as a nanny and already broke the first rule; she was scolded harshly. The Jews in night are harshly punished as well.
ReplyDeleteIn the book i read is bottled up where the main character, pip, is struggling with his father. His dad is an abusive alcoholic who beats him whenever he feels like. In the book Night Elie and his father struggle with the german SS officers. The officers beat Elie and his dad
ReplyDeleteMy character also gets beat up when Mumtaz feels like it. The only positive thing for pip is that he isn't sexually abused like Lakshmi.
DeleteSold
DeleteBoth books, Night and Sold, have external conflicts. Elie is currently being controlled by Nazis; in addition, he is being treated brutally. The Nazis strip them, pour cold water on them, lie to them, starve them, and physically harm them all the time. It is a daily fight to survive. Lakshmi in the book Sold also has a daily fight. The poor adolescent is in a brothel run by Mumtaz. She is forced to have sex with multiple men a day. The food is terrible, the living conditions are awful, and the punishments are brutal.
ReplyDeleteMy book Dog on it, it compares to the book Night because in my book the girl got kidnapped and in Night it's like they got kidnapped from there home. This is a external conflict.
ReplyDeleteIn my book the main character has just been deprived of her personal documents, so that they family she is staying with can hold her in their house. they might using her as a slave in the future.
DeleteIn my book Fangirl Cath is struggling to balance being a freshman in a senior class and writing her Simon Snow books plus she never gets to see her twin. In Night Elie is struggling to keep his faith and stay strong for him and his father.
ReplyDeletedivergent in simiar to that because tris is trying to balance life a dauntless and life as divergent. mine to was both external and internal
DeleteThe biggest conflict in divergent is both internal and external. Tris is divergent, being divergent is a multiply personalty disorder among the factions, basically meaning, you cant be controlled because your being yourself. its internal because being divergent she wants to know who she is and the test was gonna tell her but it was inconclusive. its also external because if she tells anyone she will be killed. this can be compared with Elie because he lied about his age and if he were to tell anyone he to would be killed, and also being divergent is the same as the Jews everyone afraid of them want to kill them. This book is similar to WW2 but in the future setting.
