An Analysis Of Liesel's Death

Why should Franz Stangl should have been held responsible for his actions? Well in the interview, when Sereny asks Franz if he did not feel as if the prisoners were human. Franz replied with “ Cargo. They were cargo.” He said this with no emotion in his voice. He did not even think of them as human beings and when he was in Brazil on a train passing a slaughterhouse, he said that the cattle had heard the train and ran up. They looked at him, trustingly. This reminded him of the way prisoners looked at him, just before they went into the tins. So far, he has only referred to the prisoners as cargo or animals, not human beings.

In 1770, artist Benjamin Wolfe completed what would become his most controversial and talked about piece of artwork, an oil on canvas painting titled The Death of General Wolfe, the purpose of which was to teach a moral lesson. The Death of General Wolfe portrays the Battle of Quebec, but more specifically it details the moment when Major General James Wolfe was on his deathbed shortly after the British had driven the French away in victory. Although this piece is considered to be historical since it details a true event, the details in it prove to be fabricated for the sake of art.

She pauses from explicitly addressing her son to incorporating a comparison someone told her, between a traveler to a river, “that increases its stream the further it flows...improve their qualities as they pass along.” (Adams, 17-20) This creates the importance of her tone sound convincing to her son because she can compare him, for he is a judicious traveler based on her wordly addresses for him. Relating to her adroit son, it is important that she continues to let him know that she is speaking to him because of the repetition of “my son” throughout the letter. “It will be expected of you, my son,” (Adams, 21) and “Yet it is your lot, my son,” (Adams, 43) explicitly address him, doing this because she has expectations that his mature self and his trip are great. The emphasis lets him know that what she is expressing is to be focused on. Furthermore, concomitant to her expectations, she realizes there are conflicts within society, such as “war, tyranny, and desolation,” which “are the scourges of the almighty.” (Adams, 41-42) By using a metaphor to describe these conflicts as punishments for powerful people, like her son, she highlights her tone and appeals to her sons qualities. Her son is capable of a superior livelihood and she wants him to know

She begins her letter by not showing much mercy to her son. She makes the decision for her son, not allowing him son to do so since he is not “capable of judging” for his own benefit. This showing there isn’t much trust between the mother and son and the bond between the two could not be as strong. He appeared so “averse to the voyage” but she didn’t mention his opinion as to why he felt

The second part of the comic strip biography “Louis Riel” by Chester Brown, starts off in early September 1870 in St. Joseph, Dakota territory. Louis Riel is reading a note which talks about how the Canadian soldiers have wreaked havoc on the Red River Colony. It talks about how some Métis men had been murdered and quite a few were beaten. Women had also been raped in the settlement too. “The Canadian soldiers have brought a reign of fear to the Red River settlement.” This is an excerpt from the note Louis Riel was reading. Also, Schultz returned and was basically running things. The comic-strip biography then fasts forwards to the summer of 1871. Louis Riel is reading another note now. This one is talking about how the land the people of the settlement had been promised by the Canadian government was being given to people from Eastern Canada. The exceptional rich farmland was being given to the British farmers and the requests for land were being delayed. After this Riel goes to his mother’s house in the settlement and finds that many of the soldiers have went home. His mother though, warns him to lay low. The story then shifts and fast forwards to Ottawa in the December of 1871, about five to seven months later. Father Ritchot has arranged a meeting with John Alexander Macdonald to discuss amnesty for Louis Riel’s crimes. Father Ritchot immediately confronts John Alexander Macdonald, demanding to know why the amnesty was not granted. John Alexander Macdonald responds by

Arthur Miller’s play Death of A Salesman demonstrates the life of a man facing troubles within himself and society. A tragedy is the imitation of an action that arouses fear and pity. This play could be considered a tragedy because it depicts the downfall of a perfect family and outlines the deterioration of a man’s life. A tragic hero, as defined by Aristotle, is someone who exemplifies great importance or heroic qualities; however, Arthur Miller views the tragic hero as someone who struggles heroically with life. Using Arthur Miller’s definition, it can be determined that Willy Loman is a tragic hero. Even though Willy Loman does not fit the classical view of a tragic hero, he is in fact a modern day tragic hero because of his error in judgment, a reversal of fortune, and his excessive pride.

From the start of the novella, THE INVENTION OF CURRIED SAUSAGE by Uwe Timm it can be seen that survival is at play and is one of many dominant themes. The fact that World War Two is taking place and the setting of the novella is in Hamburg, Germany indicates a heightened possibility of death hangs over everyone. This elevated possibility of death is where all things dealing with survival become interesting.

She held the point that what she did was absolutely right, but she didn’t want others in the town to know she was the writer of this letters. This was ironic since she hided the things she thought were correct.

In the midst of the deadliest war in American History, there stood a voice of morality and reason on the United States soil. Franz Lieber, a German political philosopher, created a series of political works in which he explained the importance of defining ethical boundaries for soldiers in times of war. In 1863, President Lincoln commissioned Lieber to create a series of laws to reflect his ideas (“Francis Lieber,” 2013). Lieber went on to create what became known as Lieber’s code, which was “history’s first attempt to distill, formalize, and systematize various general concepts that international law, at the time, considered proper restraints for the combatants towards each other and towards civilians” (Forbes, 1985). But what effect did the code have on the Civil War and the preceding time period? Created at an important juncture in history, Lieber’s code not only had a profound effect on the views of controversies during the Civil War, but also influenced the way the world viewed the ethical obligations of military personnel during times of war.

She was not upset the day her brother died, and felt no guilt for her feelings about him. "I was sad for them [her family] rather than over any loss of mine, because my brother had become a stranger to me. I was not sorry that he had died, but I was sorry for him because, according to his standards, his life had been thoroughly worth living" (p. 55-56).
