ESSAY TASK
1.- In my opinion Fatelessness doesnt have a true message becose the author Imre Kertez when he writed this novel he was just telling the bad experience and how he survived the Holocaust. He didnt whant to leave a message he just wanted to tell all the pain that the jews suffered because of the Nazi party. But if we analyse carefully the story it leaves a message but it wasnt the purpose of the novel. This message was to do not commit the same mistakes we made in the past, like to do not ignore the human rights because we are all the same, and in this case the Jews that were affected in the Holocaust that where slaughtered in the concentration camps just becasue of an ideology imposed by one person.

Refering to the culture, a reader can have a different point of view of other reader just because of the culture. Why? because sometimes the culture educates the people different and the can formulate different point of view depending on what he wants to believe.

What language (specific words) did your classmate did you classmate use to appeal the audience? If there is no language appealing the audience, suggest some words.
My friend uses words such as "saddness" and "suffering" to create a dark atmosphere and also "i missed you a lot" or "dont loose hope" also to create to the audience a emotive atmosphere.
How moving is the letter ? Do you think that your classmate's style is effective?
In my opinion the letter is very moving because the way he expresses the emotions and the feelings of the father towards the son is a very effective way, its like a real father talking to his son in this situation.
Explain to what extent the letter includes elements of contexts and time.
The letter includes elements of contect such as "concentration camp" which makes the principal reference of context to the dark times of the Holocaust.
