As one can see a person can eat meat and enjoy a healthy life as long as they exercise moderately and stay away from an excessive amount of saturated fats. The problem with the Lyman’s premise B is he overlooks the impossibility of all 6 billion people on this planet transferring to a vegan lifestyle. Only 3% of earths land is suitable for crop production, 10% of that is land based. Roughly 2/3 of the land is not suitable for crop production due to cites, swamps, snow, deserts etc. Of the 35% that can be donated to crop production less than 1/3 can be cultivated to produce products that can be digested by humans, leaving the rest to be covered by shrubs, grass etc. It is for this reality that the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) promotes the use by humans of both plants and animals. “Domestic farms are crucial for food and agriculture, providing 30 to 40 percent of the agricultural sector’s global economic value. Around 2 billion-one third the global population-depend at least partly on farm animals for their livelihoods.

Throughout World War II the Jewish people were subjected to many levels of hate such as acts of prejudice, act of violence, and genocide. Elie is a Romanian Jewish boy. Elie is one of many to have survived the holocaust. Elie, a young boy who survived the holocaust. It begins in a little town, Transylvania, with Moch­­­­­­é the beadle warning the Jews of great danger in their future, no one willing to believe him. Germany invades the town of Transylvania taking everyone hostage, bringing them to a little ghetto. Being taken to a little ghetto eventually lead to being brought to a concentration camp. The pyramid of hate shows people how something small can turn into something dangerous, if no one speaks up. No on is there speaking up for Elie when he is being taken to a concentration camp. In the memoir Night, Elie Wiesel experiences an escalation of hate and violence that shows how in specific circumstance acts of prejudice can progress to acts of violence and ultimately lead to genocide.

Lars Brownworth took the pleasure of writing the novel “Lost to the West.” Where within this he elaborates on a period of history that is seamlessly ignored in history. Courses instructing this discipline habitually over look the ‘new’ Rome deeming it insignificant. Brownworth’s dominant emphasis is too merely educate his readers on this gap in history. Which he does commendably however; his interpretations are not ineludibly bipartisan and quite candidly that leads to the book to be less successful in its purpose. These biases include: subjectively identifying other nations, glorifying his obviously favorite emperors and villain-zing his less favorite. While his approach is chronologically adequate he plagues his book by not only the previously stated biases, but creating the book too brief, and having to decide what information is substantial to retain; which he decides.

Various characters change drastically throughout the book. The person who changes the greatest amount during the book is Vladek Spiegelman. In the beginning, before the Holocaust, Vladek is married to Anja and they have a son, Richieu. Vladek has a successful textile factory that was given to him by Anja, his wife’s father when they became married. During the Holocaust, he became an incredibly resourceful man and had a strong work ethic. This is made evident due to the fact that he is able to acquire food and shelter, even when the Nazis are trying to control the amount of food and shelter available to the Jewish people at the time. He became incredibly adept at saving everything due to the fact that anything that he had during the invasion of Poland needed to last as long as possible and not be wasted. Therefore, his personality changes by the end of the Holocaust because he has become obsessed with saving everything, even his possessions he had no need for, like outdated newspapers.

In addition, the two voices in the narrative illustrate the contrasting perceptions of childhood and maturity as we can see that the younger Leo simply believes if he ‘went away…the relationship between Ted and Marian would cease’ (Chapter 16. p. 182), whereas the elder Leo is able to analyse his feelings, ‘I thought I knew what was best for myself…I was shaken and frightened’ (Chapter 16. p. 183). Consequently, the first person narrative in the past tense effectively conveys a sense of the adult narrator carefully exploring his conscious in a philosophical manner, whereas child narrator’s naïve attitude is portrayed in his black and white perception of the crisis, believing that he is solely to blame for the blossoming of the lovers’ affair, ‘I had attacked them first’ (Chapter 16. p. 182). Thus, the reader feels a certain degree of sympathy towards Leo’s predicament as he possesses a common child-like sense of misguided responsibility. However, it is evident that he is merely facilitating the relationship between Ted and Marian. Nevertheless, the writer also presents Leo as somewhat egocentric as he sees

While Elie Wiesel, a Jewish boy subjugated to the violence of the Holocaust in Night, embarks on his atrocious journey in struggling to survive the brutality perpetrated on him, he loses his innocence in the traumatic circumstances. Wiesel’s main aspiration of writing about his development from childhood to adulthood is to showcase how cruelty within society can darken innocents’ souls. As Elie grows throughout the story, he starts to understand that he has changed from a pure, little child to a young man filled with distress and thoughts of danger. He reflects over what kind of individual he has evolved into because of the all the killings and torture he has witnessed: “I too had become a different

The Holocaust becomes the center of this. Whether it be at his Hebrew school, where Jewish history shaped not only the curriculum they learn. But, also as a collective identity shared by a new and contemporary Jewish generation. While still being connected to the past. This is a struggle for Mark, who does not even identify himself as Jewish for most of the story, He is continuously challenged with where to place himself in this new world, as a second-generation immigrant to Toronto. For Mark, being a young Latvian Jew is not easy.

Sam Temple is sitting in his history class when his teacher disappears into thin air.

Within the battle of opposing opinions about living a carnivorous lifestyle, there’s the underlying battle of judgment in human nature. We, as humans, have the conscious ability to choose a moral right or wrong. According to Scruton, “it is the residue of religion in us all,” that determines what is moral right and wrong (A carnivore’s Credo 259). This causes the essay to become applicable to every area of life where some moral controversy is present. There is no black and white anymore. The argument is not about what Scruton calls eating versus feeding or whether it's virtuous or vicious. There is a definite gray area. This calls for people to reconsider every action before it is even made. There is no need to “abandon habits” when they can simply be “remoralized” (A Carnivore’s Credo 264). In this example of carnivore vs vegetarian, neither one is more correct than the other. There merely is now an open discussion about what is truly moral.

You are an eight-year-old boy forced to move with your family from your home in Berlin to the countryside because your father received a promotion as the head Nazi officer at a work camp. Without any friends, you sneak away during the day to explore the land behind your house and find what you understand to be a “farm.” It turns out to be a work camp where you meet another boy your age. You quickly become friends with the boy named Shmuel, who is forced to live in the work camp because he is Jewish. You do not understand the hatred towards the Jews during this time, and because of this, an unlikely friendship forms. Shmuel’s father disappears and you offer to come into the camp to help look for him. When searching in the barracks, things
