Reading Primo Levi - Day 1
May. 1st, 2016 07:51 pm
Assignment Title - Consider the representation of imprisonment, physical and psychological, in Primo Levi's If This is A Man.
I have got to about page 50 out of 200 and already I can see how Levi is sparing and factual about his account of Auschwitz. You can tell how the men are worn down from day one - depicting man's inhumanity to man. I would wax more lyrically, but I will leave this for my essay (I don't want to be done for self plaigiarism - which, up until I started the FdA, I hadn't realise that you can be guilty of precisely that). It is a good book and I can see a framework for analysis building already. Awaiting for my other books to be delivered, but mostly I must stay offline and extensively read.
My sister and I were engaged in conversation about how a framework for English was never truly explained to her. I have written how the framework was explained to me. For anyone who is interested, the framework is under the cut.
