The Cage is a book that focuses on the Holocaust and what happened to a young girl and her four brothers. The book so far has done a great job on explaining the Jewish culture, and the holocaust. I have been thinking of a thesis while I have been reading and so far I have not come up with one yet. The problem that I have been having with the thesis is that the book talks a little too much about the holocaust compared to the Jewish culture and way of life. I have gathered a list of facts about the culture but it is not very long yet, it has about seven to eight facts.
One of them is that they have much larger families then we do in the United States of America. Most of the families consist of five to eight people and they are very close to each other. Another fact about their culture is that they value education and religion just like us, but they value religion a lot. In the United States of America we probably wouldn’t risk our lives to get an education like they did in Poland during that time period. What I have concluded from my reading so far is that they truly value their Jewish culture, enough to even die for it.
Reading the book The Cage has taught me a lot so far about the Jewish culture and the culture of Poland. A cultural fact that I have learned about Poland is that the majority of the people live in apartments versus living in houses like we do in the United States of America. I really hope that later in my book I will come up with a thesis because right now I have no idea what one could be, and I also hope that I learn more about the culture of Poland and the Jewish people.
