Šį baigiamąjį darbą sudaro penki skyriai, taip pat literatūrinių šaltinių sąrašas ir dveji priedai darbo pabaigoje. Pirmas šios analizės tikslas - pristatyti autorę Rūta Šepetys, jos populiarius romanus „Tarp pilkų debesų“ bei „Druska jūrai“. Ši informacija yra pateikta pirmame skyriuje, kuriame taip pat pristatyta šio baigiamojo darbo struktūra. Antras analizės tikslas – paaiškinti pagrindinius traumos tematikos literatūros kūrinių bruožus, pabrėžti skirtumus tarp individualios ir kolektyvinės traumų bei apibūdinti, kaip istorinė trauma pasireiškia šiuolaikiniuose romanuose. Visa ši informacija yra pateikta antrame šio darbo skyriuje, remiantis surinktomis teorinėmis mintimis. Trečias tikslas - pateikti istorinį romano „Druska jūrai“ kontekstą, tai atlikta trečiame skyriuje. Pagrindinis tikslas yra išanalizuoti romaną „Druska jūrai“ ketvirtame skyriuje, taikant surinktą teorinę informaciją apie istorinę traumą. Šiai analizei atlikti yra naudojami tyrimo metodai, vienas jų – romano „Druska jūrai“ analizė, pasitelkiant idėjas iš teorinės dalies. Taip pat yra pateikti individualios ir kolektyvinės traumos pavyzdžiai romane, cituojant pagrindinių veikėjų mintis bei jas analizuojant. Analizės pabaigoje yra pabrėžtos sąsajos tarp individualios ir kolektyvinės traumų. Analizės rezultatai yra aptarti bei išanalizuoti. Baigiamojo darbo apibendrinime yra pabrėžta, jog veikėjai romane kenčia nuo individualios bei kolekyvinės traumų, taip pat šios traumos yra glaudžiai susiję karo kontekste. Šios analizės rezultatai yra aktualūs, kadangi joje yra apibūdintas karo bei tragiškų istorinių įvykių poveikis žmonėms, jų psichologinei būklei, bei aptartas individualios bei kolektyvinės traumų susiformavimas. Išvadoje paminėta, jog yra svarbu skleisti informaciją apie istorinę traumą bei tragiškus įvykius, kurie ją sukėlė, tam, kad būtų galima išsaugoti prisiminimus apie svarbius istorinius įvykius ir pasimokyti apie juos. Šio darbo pabaigoje yra literatūros šaltinių sąrašas bei dveji priedai: priedas A („Rūtos Šepetys romano „Druska jūrai“ santrauka“) bei priedas B („Wilhelm Gustloff ir S-13: 1945 m. sausis“). Summary This bachelor thesis analyzes historical trauma in Ruta Sepetys’ novel Salt to the Sea. The aim of the research is to elucidate the meaning of trauma and to determine how the historical trauma is reflected in the novel. Thoughts of the four main characters in the novel Salt to the Sea are quoted and commented in the analytical part. Certain actions were taken in order to provide the clear analysis of the theme. This bachelor thesis consists of five chapters, the list of works cited and the two appendices at the end of the thesis. The first objective of the research is to introduce the author Ruta Sepetys, her popular novels Between Shades of Gray and Salt to the Sea, and the structure of the thesis paper. This information is presented in the first introductory section. The second objective is to explain the main concepts of trauma fiction, to distinguish the differences between individual and collective traumas and to define the presence of historical trauma in contemporary novels. All this information is provided in the second section of the theoretical part, based on the collected theoretical ideas. The third objective is to provide the historical context of the novel Salt to the Sea in the third section. The main objective is to analyze the novel Salt to the Sea applying the collected theoretical information about historical trauma in the fourth section. Research methodology includes analyzing the novel Salt to the Sea with reference to the ideas from the theoretical part. Examples of individual and collective historical traumas in the novel are introduced, while quoting the main characters in the novel. At the end of the research, the interconnection between individual and collective traumas is emphasized. The results of the research are discussed and summarized in the fifth section. In the conclusion, it is stated that characters in the novel suffer from both individual and collective traumas and that these traumas are interconnected in the context of war. This analysis is relevant because it emphasizes the impact of the war and horrendous events to person’s mental state and the emergence of individual and collective traumas. Also, it is important to spread the information about historical trauma and the tragic events that caused it, in order to preserve the memories of important historical events and to learn about them. There is a list of works cited at the end of the paper, which is followed by Appendix A (“Plot Summary of Ruta Sepetys’ Novel Salt to the Sea”) and Appendix B (“Wilhelm Gustloff and S-13: January 1945”).

This novel reflects the horrors and trauma caused by the historical events of World War II. The story presents characters who have different backgrounds of their life and who face the difficulties and dangers of the period. Together they try to survive the war. In order to survive, they have to find strength in themselves and adapt to the circumstances that cannot be changed. The circumstances are so harsh that the traumatic experience of the characters is inevitable. The aim of the research is to analyze the Ruta Sepetys’ novel Salt to the Sea and to determine how historical trauma is reflected in the lives of the characters. In addition to this, the aim is to analyze the term historical trauma and determine how it is reflected in the lives of characters in the novel Salt to the Sea. Theoretical research was conducted in order to provide precise information about the meaning and types of trauma. The ideas of writers and editors, such as Jeffrey C. Alexander, Sara. Constantakis, Aurelija Daukšaitė, Jerome De Groot, Mustafa Kirca, Hywel Dix, Cathryn Prince. Reinholf Pflugfelder, Rudolph Rummel, Jack Saul, Ruta Sepetys, Renee Steinberg, John Toland, Robert J. Ursano, B. G. McCaughey, C. S. Fullerton, Peter A. Levine, Ruth Leys, Anne Whitehead, Laurie Vickroy, David T. Zabecki, William H. Van Husen, Carl O. Schuster, and Marcus O. Jones were quoted in this paper. Ruta Sepetys is the author of fiction appropriate for the readers of different age groups. As Sarah Constantakis states, she is “a crossover novelist, with broad appeal to both adult and teen readers” (Constantakis 2). These facts are stated in Sepetys’ biography: “She was born in Detroit, Michigan, on November 19, 1967. Her father, a Lithuanian, survived nine years in refugee camps before he was resettled

  • A Discussion Guide to Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys
    THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER of the CARNEGIE MEDAL A Discussion & Research Guide RUTA SEPETYS TO SALTTHE SEA Those who are gone are not necessarily lost. Author’s Note This book is a work of historical fi ction. The Wilhelm Gustloff, the Amber Room, and Operation Hannibal, however, are very real. The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff is the deadliest disaster in maritime history, with losses dwarfi ng the death tolls of the famous ships Titanic and Lusitania. Yet remarkably, most people have never heard of it. On January 30, 1945, four torpedoes waited in the belly of Soviet submarine S-13. Each torpedo was painted with a scrawled dedication: For the Motherland. For the Soviet People. For Lenin- grad. For Stalin. Three of the four torpedoes were launched, destroying the Wilhelm Gustloff and killing estimates of more than nine thousand people. The majority of the passengers on the Gustloff were civilians, with an estimated fi ve thousand being children. The ghost ship, as it is sometimes called, now lies off the coast of Poland, the large gothic letters of her name still visible underwater. Over two million people were successfully evacuated during Operation Hannibal, the largest sea evacuation in modern history. Hannibal quickly transported not only soldiers but also civilians to safety from the advancing Russian troops. Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, ethnic Germans, and residents of the East Prussian and Polish corridors all fl ed toward the sea. My father’s cousins were among them. My father, like Joana’s mother, waited in refugee camps hoping to return to Lithuania.

    Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 31 January Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests JAN 16 1776 – Amrican Revolutionary War: African-American Soldiers » It was an uncomfortable fact for many in the colonies that at the same time they were fighting the British for their liberty and freedom they were depriving slaves of that same opportunity. African-American soldiers, in fact, had participated in major Revolutionary War battles from its very start: around 5% of American forces at the battle of Bunker Hill were black. New England units were completely integrated with soldiers receiving the same pay regardless of color. Still, fears of a rebellion of armed slaves tempered official American recognition of the contribution of blacks. On this date General George Washington allowed for the first time for free blacks with military experience to enlist in the revolutionary army. A year later, as the American need for manpower increased, Washington dropped the military experience requirement, allowing any free black who so wishes to enlist. The Continental Congress tried to recruit more African-Americans by offering to purchase them from the Southern slaveholders. Unsurprisingly, few agreed. But enterprising states like Rhode Island made an end run around the slaveholders, announcing any slave who enlisted would immediately be freed. (Rhode Island compensated the slaveholder for the market value of their slave.) The “1st Rhode Island Regiment” was comprised mostly of those freed slaves, becoming the only Continental Army unit to have segregated units for blacks.

  • WGHS Summer Reading 2021-2022 Brochure
    West Genesee High School’s Summer Reading Program 2021-2022 For over 20 years, the English Department has sponsored a Summer Reading Program for students entering grades 9-12. The philosophy behind the program has always remained the same: to encourage students to read more by introducing them to contemporary novels that are pleasurable, yet worthwhile stories in the hope that they will become lifelong readers. Each child is required to read one title from the list for the upcoming grade level. A committee of parents, students, and teachers has selected the list for each grade level. Effort has been made to address relevant issues in a responsible and thoughtful manner. Consideration has also been given to include books that offer a range of reading levels. It is our hope that this program will be a shared experience between students and parents. Therefore, it is highly recommended that parents assist their child in the selection of a book that is appropriate for him/her. Parents are encouraged to visit the West Genesee High School Library website for the lists, information about locating books, and access to book reviews. The individual classroom English teacher will assign a project based on the books when the students return to class in September. We advise that students take notes or keep a journal as they read so they can better recall information which will be reviewed and assessed in their respective English classes when they return to school in September. Students enrolled in Advanced Placement English will complete the readings assigned by those teachers in lieu of one of the novels from this list.

My undergrad degree is even in history. But somehow, before SALT TO THE SEA, Irsquo;d only heard about the Wilhelm Gustloff once.One mention of such an immense tragedy.Irsquo;m thankful to Ruta Sepetys for writing SALT TO THE SEA. I always enjoy historical fiction that introduces me to something I didnrsquo;t know before, which she certainly does. But more than that, the author has such a deft, confident hand that I could sense the amount of research she did and the respect she has for the survivors and victims of the Wilhelm Gustloff. Sepetys doesnrsquo;t overwhelm you with her knowledge, but inserts it subtly, weaving it into the backstories, thoughts, and actions of the characters.SALT TO THE SEA is told through the eyes of four characters.
