Why Not to go with others
Imagine yourself in a prison, a prison you shouldn't be in. You know you don't deserve this, but most of the people, maybe even you will die here. That is what Frantizek Zaremski faced in 1944. He was arrested because he was in possession of a poem which began "Sleep, beloved Hitler, the planes will come by night..."(810Hersey). Three days before the prison that he was placed at was to fall to the Russians, his captors tried to kill him and the rest of the people there. He did all he could to survive from hiding under bodies to hiding from a fire in a water tank, and last but not least hiding in a big box in the storage house. In the end it worked and he survived.My thesis is from "Not to go with others", and it is this, at first Zaremski wanted
to escape the prison but later his only goal was to survive.
The title in this story is kinda ironic, because it was better for Zaremski, "Not to go with others".
"They thought the Germans had left, and they wanted to climb the wall and escape"(812Hersey). Which proves the first part of the thesis, in which he wanted to just escape at first. "Three of the remaining four decided to take their chances at climbing out after total darkness; they did not know whether the first three had been killed or had escaped. Only Zaremski decided to stay." which proves the seconds part because, Zaremski didn't know if anyone who had climbed it earlier survived. At that point he just wanted to live.
At first Zaremski wanted to escape, but later his only goal was to survive. At sometime in everyones life they will have to earn their freedom, Zaremski earned his that night. Now the question you will have to ask yourself is, When it is you turn to earn your freedom, will you earn it? So will you?
