Elie Wiesel poses the question, “What about the children?” That question alone should have gotten the audience to start thinking about the future generations. Hearing that question would have played on peoples’ pathos and ethos. People do not tend to want children or future generations, to face the same tragic events that they had to. During all of the events that Wiesel brought up, children were always involved inadvertently. It seemed as though he was trying to say that a lot of children are unnecessarily suffering. He says that “when adults wage war, children perish”. Adults do not always think of the consequences of the acts they commit. War can cause people to lose family members or even everything. That quote would have people pondering on their ethos and pathos, the topic of children tends to. Wiesel goes on to say that so many of the children could be saved. If people have learned from the past, then there should be less tragedy for future generations to endure. People do not usually want to see children suffer a tragedy of any sort. Elie says that the young boy that he used to be will always be with him, as if to say he will never forget what he has been through, even as
They were adults who committed a crime and thus had to be punished. But for the child he felt horrible because a young child had died for something that he might not have even done. The soup tasted bad on the night that the young child he died because his own emotions tainted the taste of the soup to him. He had felt desensitized to death but not to the death of deserving children. Death was everywhere and it was an occurrence that was not surprising, was not unusual, they breathed it in. A person they could be talking to one moment could be dead the next and it didn't shock them any more. Because this one adult had tried to steal soup they made an example of him to the others but the example of the child was just an example of the cruelty that really
In the second premise, he answers why it is wrong to kill another human being by saying that when an innocent adult human being is killed the victim is deprived of potential valuable experience. For instance if someone killed at their forties and gets killed, all of us would say that this an incredibly tragic state of affairs and why is it tragic, is because the person could have done wonderful things with the rest of his or her lives, he could have been married, they could have had kids the
Constellations, an absurdist and post-modernist performance by the Queensland Theatre Company, perceptively explored what the play’s title suggests; a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern. More plainly, though, it revealed that fate will prevail. This was evident through the relationship of characters Marianne and Roland’s, where conflicting predicaments of their romantic connection were explored in many alternate universes that each aligned with each other and correlatively led to the same destiny. Particularly, this concept encompasses the ideal that “we have the time we’ve always had. There’s not going to be any more or less of it.” As such, roles and relationships, time, tension, movement and symbols were prevalent elements
This is the modern, everyday life of many unfortunate people. For People of all ages. You can hear on the news about wives and children and even husbands who were killed in acts of rage and domestic violence. Even though I am unable to relate to this certain passage, I was still touched and I actually felt sympathy for these fictitious characters.
What is most important about this passage is the idea of refuge. The child, when reprimanded, finds comfort in the arms of its mother. The man, when convicted of certain crimes returns to his motherland and finds comfort from his relatives. This fully illustrates the power of a
The first passage reveals the parallel suffering occurring in the lives of different members of the family, which emphasizes the echoes between the sufferings of the father and the narrator. The narrator’s father’s despair over having watched
John Cheever was an award winning American author of the twentieth century. His work often possessed 'psychological and religious vision' with central themes of 'sin, deception, and redemption' (Kennedy, 551). Cheever's short story entitled 'The Five-Forty-Eight' portrays a struggle of good vs. evil. Following the themes of sin, deception, and redemption, we read of a young woman (good) seeking revenge for the evil done to her. Through the course of the story the reader can distinguish between the traits of good and evil.
When conceptualising the notion of a ‘constellation’, many definitions arise as to what the term represents and the ways to which it possesses a metaphorical significance. Such queries emerge throughout the duration of the contemporary theatre piece suitably entitled ‘Constellations’, written by English playwright Nick Payne, who effectively initiates controversy by implicitly alluding towards the perplexing concepts of parallel universes, nonlinear and possible infinite expanses of time, as well as the importance of individual choices and their relationship with the concept of fate/destiny. This exploitation of the power of subliminal manipulation is prevalent in most modern theatre as dramatic meaning is more effectively conveyed and
This quote creates a effect of betrayed and disbelieve and a bit afraid because the example of the son betraying the father, who were so close and they survive together through the worst and then almost the end of the terror they leave the person behind which cause the people to watch there back and trust no one.
Part Four: What does this quotation mean? Why is it significant? How does it connect to an emerging theme of the novel? What is the impact of this passage on the reader?
“Another reason, the simplest, the ugliest, was that this hitherto peaceful congregation of neighbors and old friends had suddenly to endure the unique experience of disturbing each other; understandably, they believed that the murderer was among themselves.” (88)
The quote listed to the left is significant because it shows how Charlie, the main character fails to recall the unclear and perplexing events that transpired in his younger years.
This is an ethical dilemma as it is reported that Leo is harassing the ethnic minority clients and present them with harsh and derogative terms. There is also no element of integrity in Leo because he is trying to deceive the supervisor and his Dr. Vaji on his conducts during the role-playing exercise and the actual supervision. The APA Ethical Principles that help frame the nature of this dilemma are the principles of showing honesty in all professional relations; the principle of showing compassion, dignity and respect to the clients; and the principle of showing respect to the rights of clients, colleagues and other health practitioners and observer law when dealing with the clients’ privacy and confidentiality.
As you read not only has wording made an influence in the piece but also incorporated is a different point of view. “Boys” is introduced to us in third person offering us a long distances shot of the progress as the boys age. In an interview Rick Moody states that the third person is the mother of the boys, narrating the story in an “understated way, she is the perceiver, their mother is the center piece of the story.” (Rick Moody) Viewing the story from a higher place gives the reader a sense of intimacy with the narrator being able to perceive the lives of the characters the “boys” in a different light, the reader becomes a witness to the events in the progression of the “boys’” lives.
