For my second essay I am considering writing an evaluative comparison on the movie Schindler’s List and an essay about the Holocaust. Both of these deal with the Holocaust, but approach it in different ways. Essays usually deal more with statistical information than anything else. This means it will take a logical approach to the issue. The arguments here are to inform the readers about the injustices done to the Jewish population many years ago.
There is now nothing we can do about what happened, but it is a good way to warn against future instances like this. Schindler’s list will appeal to me in a more emotional way because they make it very personal. The whole movie is filmed in black and white except for a red dress that one little girl is wearing. When you see her at the beginning of the movie you know she will have some significant role. It is not until the end of the movie that you realize she is one of the dead people on top of a heaping pile of human beings who are being treated like dirt.
Being able to have the two medias appeal in different ways but still show the same argument will help me a lot in this essay. I have not yet found the written piece that I will be using to write my essay because many of the ones I’ve tried to use are not free. But, hopefully I will be able to find one with statistical information about the Holocaust and compare that to the movie, which I believe will be the better argument since it hits home with our emotions.
