Schindler's List By Andy Dufresne

In The Sunflower book by Simon wiesenthal there is a passage that includes a delama; Karl ( a dying nazi soldier) was asking for forgiveness for his actions from Simon (a jew). When forgiveness is asked, the person giving the forgiveness has to at times think about their religion and think about who has the ability to forgive him/her. In the book karl admitted to seeing the family that he shot at jump out the window then Then from the other windows fell burning bodies…We shot…" Religion has a big impact on if he/she should forgive the wrongdoer. Since many jews don't believe in the next life and forgiveness is not a requirement and if i was in simon's situation i wouldn't forgive him either.

March 13, 1943, a sea of glass, tainted with crimson flowers seemed to flood the streets of Krakow. Little did the Jewish community know that this was just the tip of the iceberg. The horrors of the Holocaust, which are portrayed in the Schindler’s List film could never be felt by this generation but, by watching this film, people are able to connect to the reality of the crimes that the Nazi’s committed. I believe that incoming freshmen should watch the film Schindler’s List.

No worries, and thank you so much for helping me. I think a conversation at school on the book would be wonderful for all concerned. The boys and I started reading "The Sunflower" by Simon Wiesenthal last night - it is one of the novels I use for my basic skills classes that leads my students into their first argumentative essay, and the only book I had three copies. Both the boys were really engaged. Khai started to ask questions similar to my students, and even took the reins to explain a part of the story to Hayden. We read ten pages last night, each taking turns reading aloud- they boys seem to struggle, but I believe it will help them in the long run. . Again, thank you for your help.

Social stratification is a concept used within sociology that explains the divisions and social inequalities of large groups of people within a particular society. The Hunger Games (2012) is a film that demonstrates this through amplifying how the power of the rich members in a polarised society are taking control of the poor and separating them in different districts which create specific social rankings. This essay will use the perspective of conflict theory to examine how Australian society is also effected by social stratification and therefore divided in social classes which effects their access to social equalities.
