Analysis: Night Of The Long Knives

The New York Times Bestselling series by Sarah J. Maas entitled “The Assassin’s Blade” is, in my opinion, one of the best novel written. The genres of this book are fiction, fantasy fiction, and young adult fiction. This is a great book to read, the author of this book divided the book into five separate stories. The separate stories still flow together, and each has a different theme. I would highly recommend this book to young adults.

In Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad suggest that true human existence cannot prevail productively without the dynamics of society. Throughout numerous scenes in the novel, Conrad stresses the necessity of societal restraints through Kurtz’s inability to prosper as a human being when he is removed from the expectations of civilization. In the scene above, Marlow’s myopic observations of Kurtz reveals Conrad’s theme by illustrating the annihilation of Kurtz’s essential human characteristics as he descends into a barbaric lifestyle absent of the norms of society. Not only does the above scene support Conrad’s main theme, but it portrays his writing style, characterization of Marlow, and symbolism as used throughout the novel.

Noah’s actions show that even people who are the worst people can come up with good ideas.

In Heart Of Darkness, Conrad introduces the following characters, the manager, the brickman, and the foreman, with various distinctive characteristics. Additionally, Conrad applies each man to contribute towards accumulating information about Mr. Kurtz to Marlow. Correspondingly, while Marlow was accumulating information regarding Mr. Kurtz, Marlow encounters a painting created by Mr. Kurtz, which possesses a symbolic connotation to it. Furthermore, as a consequence of Marlow interest in Kurtz, it exceedingly represents Marlow’s characteristic.

This is a famous photo of the teenager Herschel Grynszpan as he was being arrested after killing the German diplomat Ernst vom Rath. The reason why Grynszpan killed the diplomat was because in October 28th, 1938, Polish Jews were forced across the border to Poland by the Germans, but Poland wouldn't allow the Jews to enter so they were stuck in the middle of Germany and Poland. Thousands of Jews were kicked out of their homes as well as Herschel and his family. Herschel's sister Berta sent him a postcard telling him all about the torments she went through. This caused Herschel to seek revenge and to go buy a gun and kill the diplomat.

The movie Winter in the Blood, was made 38 years after the novel was first published and was not directed by the author, James Welch. This among many reasons may explain some of the noticeable differences between the movie and text. Although the basic plot in the movie stays true to that of the book there was some added “Hollywood magic” to make it more viewable on the big screen. The book, Winter in the Blood portrays the grandmother as grouchy and simple while the movie Winter in the Blood depicts her as the stereotypical wise, gentle, and nurturing Indian grandmother. The movie’s depiction of the grandmother is done to convey a better relationship between her and the narrator which makes viewers feel more connected and sympathetic for

The Night of Long Knives, one of most noteworthy events during Hitler’s rule, was a purge that occurred on the 30th June 1934. Hitler ordered the murders of conspicuous Conservative anti-Nazis such as Kurt Von Schleicher and Gustav Ritter von Kahr, Left wing Nazis such as Gregor Strasser and many members of the SA including its leader Ernst Rohm. It could be claimed that the murders were significant as they ended a possible takeover by the SA, deterred and intimidated Conservative critics while gaining their support, saw the rise of the SS, introduced terror and dictatorship into mainstream life and reassured the elites and the army.

Szymborska’s poem “Hitler’s First Photograph” has many interesting aspects to it, including ironic diction which sculpts the literal meanings behind the figurative wordings. The entire poem mocks the present for its ignorance of the past. By doing this, it is evident that the outcome of who Hitler turned out to be, is the ironic part and makes us feel guilty in a way. The tone of this poem, is spoken in a way that isn’t out of the blue, but knowing what has occurred in the past leads us to read this in a sardonic way.

It shows the Nazi’s and dead people. The Nazis are all gathered around a bunch of dead bodies, and this is showing that the Nazi has just put the dead bodies in the hole with the others. The bodies are lying in a big rectangular hole on top of each other and this shows where they waste them off. There is a wagon in the background that they carry the bodies on to transfer them to be in the waste. This picture is really sad, because you do not see images like that now a day. It makes my heart hurt for all of the innocent people that got their lives taken away from them for no reason what so ever. I could not even imagine what the children and parents of children must have

This book that I read is called “The Night Divided” by Jennifer A. Nielsen. This story takes place in East Germany right after the government decided to put a wall up to separate the country in half. With the sudden rise of the Berlin Wall, twelve year old Gerta, the main character of the story, finds her family divided overnight. Gerta’s brothers were Fritz, who was the older brother in the group at 14 years old at the time and Dominic, who was the second oldest. Which means that Gerta was left as the younger sibling. Their father, Papi a.k.a Aldous, was involved with some rebellion against the government. Though he had never been arrested for anything, the Stasi, their secret police, keeps coming to their house every few months to ask him

As “Entartete Kunst” traveled around Germany for a few years, the Nazi party wanted to show that art has degenerated with the works expressionism. This was one of the many ways the Nazi party wanted to show how society is “sick” and needs to be cleaned. The Nazi party wanted the viewers of the exhibit to see and think that the expressionist art is “degenerate” in their own viewer’s mind, other than just saying it was to the public.
