ISU Blog Post #1 - Isolation

The book that i have chosen for my ISU is called The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank. This story is about what Anne Frank, the main character had to go through while she and her family were in hiding from the Nazi's during WW2. A major social issue in this book is isolation due to the fact that Anne and her family are isolated from the rest of the world in order to survive. Also, many of the Jews were isolated by being put into concentration camps and jail. Furthermore, the Jews had special boundaries and restrictions put onto them, for example, Jews could only go to all Jew schools or only buy certain foods from the grocery market. The article that i have linked to this post is about how over 10000 citizens are in hiding themselves inside of caves in order to survive and escape from the civil war in Syria. This article is very similar to Anne Frank's situation as they are also isolating themselves from the rest of the world by going into hiding. This shows that although much time has passed from WW2 to now, people are still being forced to go into hiding in order to save themselves.


Tens of thousands of people are hiding in these immense Syrian tunnels and caves - Article
