Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares two examples of Holocaust literature: Anne Frank's famous book, "The Diary Of A Young Girl" and Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize winning book, "Night." The paper describes and compares the texts and styles of the books and further discusses the importance of the two texts in teaching the world about the events of the Holocaust.
From the Paper
"The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank and Night by Elie Wiesel are two documents that allow humanity to enter into the world of the Holocaust and learn about the tragic events that took place. A common agreement among survivors and victims of the Holocaust is that there could never possibly be the exact language to describe the horrors that took place during this dark period in history. The two texts written by Frank and Wiesel, however, are literary texts that are able to give profound insight and information into what really did occur throughout the Nazi regime. Both authors give extraordinary accounts of their lives, which are unforgettable reminders of what humanity should never let happen again."

Abstract
This paper explains that Anne Frank in her bibliography "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl", being a typical teenage girl, was incredibly emotional. The author points out that the circumstance in which she recorded these sentiments was such that they were always overshadowed by her immense fear. The paper relates that, in the first few diary entries written in the Annex, although slightly afraid, Frank does not realize the true level of danger she is in and therefore fills page after page with detailed but mundane descriptions of daily life in the Annex. The author then explains that, as Frank matures, she begins to empathize with the apprehensiveness felt by the adults and, as a result, her fear begins to increase. The paper stresses that, in a child's mind, death is not a feasible occurrence; therefore, she can allow herself to believe that she does not fear it.
From the Paper
'In this entry, as well as many others, she discusses her constant fears of being caught by the Germans while hiding in the secret annex with her family. This entry is especially powerful because it sheds light on the fact that, in such small cramped conditions, there is little to do but let your mind wander. When put in a situation where you can not talk or laugh too loudly for fear of capture, all that one is left with is his or her thoughts and for a young girl, this can cause immense fright. As she points out on this same page of her diary, everything she says or does leads her back to thoughts of fear."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Munro's short story is about two young preteen girls, Eva and Carol, and their quest to be noticed by the uninterested boys. The writer discusses that Munro effectively manipulates the obscure rules of pre-teenagers to create the dilemma where Eva and Carol try to attract the other boys' attention using a boat they found.Through Munro's excellent understanding of the preteen rational, the author creates a dilemma for the young Eve and Carol to search the attention they seek, and in turn expresses the reality of such a fragile time period as the preteen years. The writer maintains that it is important that authors like Munro reminds readers of a time with simple rules so people can escape back to that certain time through the artistry of their fictional works.
From the Paper
"It is commonly understood that society abides by a strict unwritten law, and through the various stages of life those rules change drastically. For example, as children: the rules state that a boy and a girl are mutual and utter enemies, but as the children enter the preteen marker, the rules seem to change completely. Eventually, both sexes find themselves fascinated with one another. Yet, by the mandate of puberty, this change does not happen simultaneously, it is the female that goes through these mind and body changes first, and as a result a young preteen girl might start finding interest in the opposite sex but not get the same interest back. Author Alice Munro surely understands this concept and uses it as a palette to paint her short story, "The Found Boat"."

Abstract
"There can be little question that William Byrd was one of America earliest writers and in later generations one of its most controversial. The following paper examines the secret diary of William Byrd of Westover as it was written in the period 1709-12. Specifically, the paper examines the text in light of his own situation during these years--he was still a relatively young man at the time--as well as what factors might have prompted him to write as he did. Beyond that, the paper briefly catalogues the major themes of Byrd's diary, the literary style employed and a key issue raised by the diary entries. In the end, it is fair to conclude that Byrd's writings are a window into the attitudes informing the actions of eighteenth century country gentlemen.

Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", 2005.
This paper reviews Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", a lady in waiting in the court of the Japanese court from 1007 to 1010 A.D., which discusses the social and cultural influence of Confucianism and Buddhism on ancient Japan.

Abstract
This paper explains that Lady Murasaki wrote her "Court Diary during the period in which Bushido was a code and way of life for Samurai men and was influenced by Zen and Confucianism. The author points out that in Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", it is obvious that Buddhism and Buddhist metaphysics are very much a part of Japanese court life; however, what is not so obvious is that Chinese Confucianism also had become part of 10th century Japan's Imperial court. The paper relates that the notion of impermanence is an extremely salient characteristic throughout the Diary; she writes that all things are ephemeral, reflecting on the aesthetics of the period, which were based on the beauty of impermanence.
From the Paper
"Confucianism influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions. It eventually spread from China to Korea, from Korea to Japan where it was first brought to around the fifth century. Confucius had a great impact on the Japanese civilization. His teachings relating to ethics, honor, social responsibility, familial obligations, ancestor worship, and observation of rites and historical precedence provide the glue that gives the Japanese civilization continuity and durability."

Samuel Pepys? "Diary", 2002.
A review of Samuel Pepys? "Diary" .

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes Samuel Pepys? "Diary" and shows how we can learn a great deal about the author himself and even more about the times in which he lived. It provides a biography of Pepys' life from his humble background to becoming a member of Parliament and an insight into life in 17th century London especially during the Great Fire of London in 1666. It discusses how, although the diary gives a marvelous window into the 17th century, it is also a marvelous window into the 21st century as well, for Pepys?s observations about human nature and the ways in which cities have their own life remain strikingly trenchant in today?s world as well. Pepys was writing at the beginning of the modern age, that time in which the same kind of examination of the self that we believe to be essential today, was coming into vogue and he still provides for us an excellent example of how to go about creating that examined life that is the only one worth living.
From the Paper
"Even though this diary was meant to be a private one, we can interpret it as an exemplar not only of Pepys?s own style and experiences, but as an exemplar of the literary trends and modes of his era. The self-consciousness that he exhibits, his ability to step back and view with a great deal of objectivity himself and his world, were emerging as tropes within the novel as well as the dairy of his time as the conventions of the modern novel were just then being developed. Indeed, the self-referentialty of this kind of diary would become a mark of much of the finest literature that would be written over the next century."

Abstract
This paper examines the lives of women in colonial America by studying this unique work which is written in diary form by a woman named Martha Ballard. The aim of the author of this book was to show historians that information about women in this period does exist, as they are often over-looked in history books. This paper shows how this book is a rich source of the personal and social struggles of women in this era.
From the Paper
"Laurel Thatcher Ulrich?s strips away the justification that historians often call on to validate their disregard of women?s lives in colonial America, which the essential documents do not exist. Perceptively creatively combing through household inventories, account book, court files, indentures, captivity recounting and men?s diaries. The author shows the complex richness and truth of women role and lets the modern reader listen to women voices from their oral traditions. Ulrich is immersed in the homely information of the colonial life. She shows a genuine appreciation of colonial society imparting the multiple contradictions of its patriarchal, hierarchical and common values, its religiosity and earthiness."

Abstract
In examining "The Diary of Lady Murasaki", this paper analyzes the relationship between men and women as seen during the Heian Period in Japan, and Murasaki's observations of life on the court.
From the Paper
"The Japanese at the Heian court began to develop a culture that was independent from the Chinese culture that had formed the cultural life of imperial Japan up until then (Ebrey, 193). Since Chinese writing was adapted to an entirely different language, the Japanese began their own writing system. They also developed a court culture with values and concepts uniquely different from imperial China (Johnson, Oct. 24, 2005). This culture was largely among the women's communities at court and reached their peak by Lady Murasaki. The Diary of Lady Murasaki is a historical document that marks a turning point in women's history. During the Heian period it was considered inappropriate for a woman to know how to write in Chinese and was reserved for men. Regardless, women went on to write poems, prose, and dairies, thus proving to the males that they were capable of writing."

"Prozac Diary" and "Falling Angels", 2008.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts "Prozac Diary" by Lauren Slater and "Falling Angels" by Barbara Gowdy, both of which are based around the role of the mother figure. The paper discusses the plot of both the memoir by Slater and the novel by Gowdy, as well as the issues that are portrayed by the two writers, specifically drug and alcohol abuse of mothers and how they affect families.
From the Paper
"Both books hint at the threat posed by the mother, with the novel being more explicit about how damaging this might become. This is understandable given that Lauren Slater is talking about her own mother and her own life, though she does see the connection and does understand how much her problem might derive from her mother. She shows many of the same behavioral symptoms as the Field girls, though she finds her way of coping with this in Prozac, while the Field girls have not yet had to face the issue that squarely. Gowdy suggests that they will and that they will also be able to do so without cracking. They are stronger in their way than Slater was, though it would also seem that they have even more reason not to be given what they learn about their mother and how that makes them suffer even more."
