From the Paper
"Chris McCandless was a very private and secretive person; yet, he was apparently sociable and attractive to people as evidenced by the relationships he established after he graduated from college and left his parents. Interviews in Into the Wild show his friends speaking of him with great affection; however, we can only infer how he felt about them. We know he must have felt some attachment because he wrote to them after leaving them and sometimes called them. He did not "burn his bridges behind him" by any means, but he always left them before too much intimacy could develop. Krakauer (1996) suggests that Chris may have had a psychological problem, a fear of intimacy. The quotation the author uses at the beginning of Chapter 7 by Anthony Storr suggests that some trauma in early childhood made such an impact on him that his "principle need was to find some kind of meaning and order in life which was not entirely, or even chiefly, dependent upon interpersonal relationships" (p. 61). Perhaps this explains what appears to be an obsessive hunger for meaning and his conviction that it could only be found in the wilderness. He could not allow relationships to get in the way of satisfying that hunger."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze the film, "Schindler's List," directed by Stephen Spielberg in 1993. Specifically, it contains an historical analysis and review of that film. "Schindler's List" is the moving story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who took it upon himself to save a "list" of Jews by employing them in his cookware factory, rather than see them sent to the concentration camps. It looks at how critics call the film part docudrama and part fiction, emphasizing the historical aspects of the Jewish ghetto in Krakow and the concentration camp at Auschwitz and how,filmed in black and white except for the end and the girl in the vivid red coat, the film is a stark reminder of the atrocities of the Nazi party, while illustrating there are always people willing to risk their lives for the lives of others.
From the Paper
"Many historians and authors discussing the Holocaust believe only those who managed to survive the horrible conditions of the Nazi concentration camps are in fact qualified to write about what happened during those terrible times. Many writers and directors have attempted to tell the story of those who lived and died, but several maintain that the accounts by survivors are the only ones which accurately depict the ultimate evil of the Nazis and their policies of elimination for Jews, and anyone who did not belong to their blonde and perfect "master race." One of these writers is Michael R. Marrus, who wrote "The Holocaust in History," which discusses in depth the historical aspects of the Holocaust. Since Spielberg also interviewed many survivors of the Holocaust, his film does tend to accurately portray the experiences of Jews in the Auschwitz concentration camp, and in the Poland ghetto of Krakow."
