Action

      Miriam Katin includes scenes with a high amount of action in her memoir. Since Miriam was only a child during the events that occurred in the memoir it is interesting as to which action scenes were emphasized. Miriam was very fond of her dog Rexy, which Esther had to hand over to the Germans, and was later befriended by the winemaker's dog. During some action scenes Miriam includes the dog's perspective on what is occurring such as when bombing was taking place or when he was shot by the Nazi soldier. This suggests that the action scenes in the memoir are described in the manner and intensity that Miriam perceived them to be. Along with the use of large, bolded and capitalized action words, the visuals in the action scenes were modified to enhance the severity of the situation as perceived by the reader. This is an effective technique as it encourages the reader to differentiate the action scenes versus the non-action scenes throughout the story.
