In the Diary of a Young Girl, Anne discovers what it's like to be in hiding. The most important thing in her life is to not be caught by the Germans. One little slip is all it takes for her life to be thrown in a blender. There exists a perpetual fear in the back of her mind that today could be the day that the Nazis find her at last.
In the final book of the bestselling series Harry Potter, Harry is on the run. The government, which has been taken over by Death Eaters, is hunting him down. Like Anne, Harry must take extraordinary precautions not to be caught, for his enemies have all the resources of the government at their disposal. But both hero and heroine have many dedicated friends to see them through the danger (and quarrel with these friends often). And both brave souls never lose hope of survival, no matter how bleak the horizon seems.
I, too, read the last installment of the Harry Potter series. However, I don't think I would have ever made the unique connection between Harry's run from the Death Eaters and Anne's time in hiding. Congrats on your interesting connection.
ReplyDeleteWow Shaunish that's really good! I also read the last book and totally agree with the connection between the Death Eaters and Nazi's. Although Harry actually did make many more mistakes, he is never completely caught and his story ends happily, while Anne's does not.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I haven't read all the Harry Potter books (just the first three), I never would have came up with this connection to the books. Now that I think about it, it really makes a lot of sense because Harry was always keeping his distance from Voldemort unless he was right there in front of him.
