1. Language gives us hope – you can’t kill it. It is the light at the end of the tunnel.
2. Language allows you to rebuild your life – we can recreate ourselves through
language – we learn and empathise.
3. Language pacifies.
4. Words are power – the pen is mightier than the sword. We can manipulate language
to the greater good (Hans) or the greater evil (Hitler). With the control of language
comes responsibility. There are two sides to how language may be used: the
producer (controls language), the audience (is exposed to its power).
5. Literature is immortal and immortalises.
6. Literature is powerful – ideas, freedom of speech and expression lead to a common
consciousness and connectivity. All are destroyed when we destroy literature.
7. Those in control of the language can “rewrite” therefore producing a biased
retrospective – history is just that...
8. Literature opens minds and possibilities.
9. Words reveal individuality – Fascism tries to control that.
10. Words define us - we are our stories
