My book is the Diary of Anne Frank
One element is pathos. I think this because what she describes in her diary entries about the atrocities experienced by the Jewish causes most readers, including myself to feel pity to the victims of the Nazis' oppression and brutality which are the Jews in particular. Anne being Jewish herself and her feelings being recorded into this book makes me feel more pity than I would if I was to read the same thing in a history book.
"I feel wicked sleeping in a warm bed, while my dearest friends have been knocked down or have fallen into a gutter somewhere out in the cold night. I get frightened when I think of the close friends who have been delivered into the hands of the cruelest brutes that walk the earth. And all because they are Jews!" (Frank 48).
Another element is setting, which is described in detail by the narrator which is Anne Frank. This diary takes place in Holland during World War II from 1942 until her death in 1945. In this quote, she tells her diary that she had described her dwelling (the setting) too much, which is proof enough that this book contains the element of setting.
"Dear Kitty,
I expect I have thoroughly bored you with my long-winded descriptions of our dwelling. But still I think you should know where we've landed." (Frank 17).
