A World Not Made By Hands Mimangu Analysis

Disabling many people, no matter how passionate their dreams may be, the cruel world is able to impact each and every single person. The world has been shaped into what it is by humans, whose ideological beliefs have influenced every single human being’s way of life. Even those with the greatest dreams are impacted because of humanity

In her book, Immaculée Ilibagiza shares the power of faith in God through her moving experience of the Rwandan genocide. God saved her life for a reason. “He left me to tell my story to others and show as many people as possible the leading power of his Love and Forgiveness” (208-09). Her book proves that “with God all things are possible”. Her objective is not to give a historical account of Rwanda and/or of the genocide. She gives her own story. She attests that through God’s help, forgiveness is possible – even to those who killed her parents. Her book is meant to help people to let go of the chains of hatred and anger, and be able to truly live in God who is love. Left to Tell is a breathtaking book that proves the fact that “the love

In order to argue such, he highlights and denounces political ideologies, similar to Le Carre, such as the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few. Klaatu express his concern for the “existence of every last creature on earth”, exploiting the belief that the sacrifice of one life is justifiable for the greater good. Instead, Klaatu persists that all life on earth is sacred, as without each individual, there is no such thing as the ‘greater good’. Furthermore, the simply communicated ultimatum - “Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration”, reflects the ease in which governments such as the US or USSR could obliterate human life with the press of a button in their competition for political power, whilst easily expressing the need for peace and the ability to achieve it. Its direct and candid proclamation creates a sense of urgency and actuality. This comments on and exposes the negative connotations of high levels of all encompassing power as it increases mistrust in the government. An aide to the American president, who claims “we are forces of good”, is dismissed by Klaatu’s response “I’m not interested in such foolishness”, exposing an awareness that the government is not as harmless as they claim. Furthermore, the rejection of Cold War ideologies exposes the need for a reevaluation of political morals as it shows they are not driven for the good of the people but for political gain in the competition between the US and

Many awful things happen in the world to innocent people. Many people who haven't done anything wrong get punished, hurt, broken, and disrespected. Like in the book Night by Elie Wiesel, the jewish people didn't do anything but have their own morals that they believe in. Yet, they were brutally and morbidly tortured in Auschwitz until they wished for death upon themselves and others. On page 32, Elie states with a strong passion, “Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.¨ When Elie says this, it relates back to the message i believe is conveyed throughout the book. In life, bad things and good things will happen, but thats´s life, and that won't change. Yet,it´s what we do about those things and how we react to those things that determines how it will turn out in the future.

In what context is this text presented? What cultural, historical, political, religious, or other impetus is compelling the speaker?

Mr. Arbiter praise for a new love of humanity to be born out of their horrors of the Holocaust. .He doesn't want this event to repeat because this event was such a tragic and horrifying event.

Not yet exposed to the horrors of the concentration camp, Elie enters Birkenau with his innate senses of compassion and altruism intact. Soon after his arrival, Elie witnesses the burning of children, women, and men alike. In response to this horrific sight, Elie becomes doubtful of the reality of the situation and questions, “How was it possible… that the world kept silent?” (32). As seen in the creation of Night and this question, for Elie, silence is unthinkable. At this point, Elie still holds faith in the power that people hold. However, there is only hope to save these people, if the silence breaks. In addition to this thinking, his tone of disbelief contributes to Elie’s demonstration of one of man’s most primitive instinct: compassion. This compassion is still strong in Elie, for if it were not, why would he have questioned this so passionately?

Those teachings had been burned away. But he could not abide by a universe composed only of what he could see, especially when it was so frequently foul” (23). Cold Mountain, a comforting and metaphysical place, is a relevant place since Inman can withdraw from the world’s misery there. While Inman’s surroundings are all misery, putrefaction and partition, Cold Mountain is a site where he will find a psychological truce.

Father Paneloux and his congregation’s reaction to suffering and death is one of the three key reactions in the book. The sermon is the best example of this reaction, and therefore I will pay close attention to the details of it.

Moreover, the work of the Holocaust couldn’t have been achieved by the SS alone. It required the cooperation of the German army who partook in the murder of Jews, healthcare professionals who sent thousands to their death during selection, the Reichsbank which funded the killings and served as a depository for stolen currency, the German industrialist who manufactured the Zyklon B gas, and the engineers who designed the gas chambers. Many feared authorities and were merely following orders, yet their silence equated to complacency. Genocides of the Yazidi in Iraq and the muslims in Myanmar are results of those factors. However, unlike the Holocaust, the situation was made public and countries are accepting refugees. Pastor Martin Niemoller captures the importance of speaking up against injustice in this quote. It originally highlighted the Protestant church’s compliance during the Nazi persecution and murder of

He concludes that the love that is between the Christians is real, and should always be there, especially on their journey to America. He says that he wants a city upon hill, he says this because he wants other societies to want to be like them. Their society can be seen like a model to others. He wants his society to be build through his eyes, how he wants it to be. The love is necessary to

Violent and dark, the world is filled with Geisteskranken—men and women whose delusions manifest. Sustained by their own belief—and the beliefs of those around them—they can manipulate their surroundings. For the High Priest Konig Furimmer, that means creating order out of the chaos in his city-state, leading his believers to focus on one thing: helping a young man, Morgen, ascend to become a god. A god they can control. Because of this, three dark friends soon learned about this and want to capture the would-be god. In this world anyone you kill must serve you in the Afterdeath. What if you kill a god? That’s what Konig (leader of the Geborene, a religion) is hoping for, a god to serve him and prevent him from going the way of all Geisteskranken

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, in his commencement address to Harvard University entitled “A World Split Apart,” warns of the decline of Western society. Solzhenitsyn begins by indicating that he intends to impart truth upon his audience, though it may be bitter, insisting “that it comes not from an adversary but from a friend” (1). This implies he is about to discuss a controversial topic in such a way that is not likely to be received kindly. His ultimate purpose is to encourage a return to religion and spirituality, connoting this to be the only means of redemption for the West. Solzhenitsyn utilizes an insightful yet urgent tone in order to convey to his audience the direness of the situation.

In the article “Men Have Forgotten God,” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn effectively talks about not only his own country, but about how the whole world has forgotten God. Solzhenitsyn talks much about the past and uses these events as examples, if the world is not careful, this modern age will fall into those same patterns with the same outcomes. He talks about how many countries in their greatest time of need, instead of running to God for help, trusted in their own power and failed miserably. He states that communism is on a rise and that it is a major reason that the west has forgotten God and have lost its way. He explains that if the world does not give up communism than it is on the fast track to destruction and there will be no saving it then.

Who could speak of such things? Not Emilio Sandoz who, for all his facility with many languages, remained tongue-tied and inarticulate about the center of his soul. For he could not feel God or approach God as a friend...and yet, as he had grown older, the path he had started down almost in ignorance had begun to seem clearer to him. It became more apparent to him that he was truly called to walk this strange and difficult, this unnatural and unutterable path to God, which required not poetry or piety but simple endurance and patience (160).
