It’s not necessarily only the small words that hurt the most, but also the small actions and events that occur throughout a lifetime that can pile up to have an enormous impact on somebody’s life. A high schooler who isn’t outright bullied can still feel oppressed because a lot of little insignificant encounters that happen to them, such as a friend picking someone else as their partner for a project. This is evident is the book Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, which is the story of a girl named Hannah who kills herself details her experiences leading up to her death via casette tapes.

Hannah's tapes weren't only about people and the problems they have caused her; one of the tapes is about seeking help. She really needed someone to help her out with the burden she carries every day she needed someone to give a reason to live, she needed someone there for her. She needed a friend the type of friend that would listen and tried to understand what she's been going through. Like Hannah wants help she doesn't want to end it just there she wants a reason to live so in the book she says “ I’m giving life one more chance. And this time, I’m getting help. I’m asking for help because I cannot do this alone. I’ve tried that.”(Asher 269). Therefore, Hannah is asking for help even though Clay was there for her but she pushed him away

In the novel, Thirteen Reasons Why, Hannah’s identity was affected by many things. The entire book was based on how people changed her and why she did what she did.

Hannah informed me that she is 100% Korean and was born in Mokpo, South Korea. She moved to America when she was only six months old. I asked her if she misses living in South Korea, and she said that she sometimes wished she could move back there to feel more like a “standard” citizen. Hannah then began to explain the cultural differences between America and South Korea. The first is that cultural beauty is drastically different. Secondly, Koreans are extremely traditional and their history speaks for its culture. They value their identity as Koreans, even though they are now somewhat Americanized. Most Koreans keep to themselves in terms of traditional values. Lastly, cultural beauty in South Korea consists of having pale skin, heavy sunscreen and umbrellas on sunny days, and wide, double lidded eyes. It is common for some Koreans to get surgery to widen their eyes. I asked Hannah for her input on changing a person’s physical appearance, and she concluded that it would be a dream to have the perfect figure; however, she would never make any major adjustments on her body.

In “Eichmann in Jerusalem,” Hannah Arendt analyzes Adolph Eichmann while he is on trial in Jerusalem for the crimes that he committed while being a Lieutenant Colonel in the SS during the Nazi Regime. In the book Arendt talks about how Eichmann’s actions were “banal” in the sense that he seemed to be an ordinary person who just committed acts that were evil. Italian-Jewish Writer Primo Levi, a Holocaust Survivor, states that SS officers like Eichmann lived in their own self-deception that made them believe that their actions were caused by just following their orders in the SS. In this paper, I will analyze the views that both Arendt and Levi had about the Eichmann trial and then compare and state the differences of their views. I will then explain the reasons why both Hannah Arendt’s and Primo Levi’s analysis of Adolph Eichmann that show that the actions that he committed were all truly evil actions.
