killed in the My Lai village and was hidden by American soldiers from the American people. November 1969 was when the My Lai massacre was brought to the attention of the American people. People wondered why did some soldiers commit atrocities and others did not, also some of the different choices the soldiers made instead of following orders, and can anyone ever judge anyone? Also Pham Thi Trinh was one of the Vietnamese witnesses that lost her family on this tragic day. During the My Lai massacre in

The Hsi Lai Buddhist temple is located in Hacienda Heights and is the largest Buddhist temple in the West. The building was constructed to be a religious site by a Buddhist organization in Taiwan. The first thing that catches the attention, is the Chinese architecture of the temple and all of the Chinese words on the outside of the temple. The words on the four pillars of the gate, represent the four Bodhisattva vows the Buddhists take to complete enlightenment. There are many rooms on the outside

horrifying massacres that Americans saw was the My Lai Massacre. My Lai is a very small town 100 miles south of Saigon in South Vietnam. On March 16, 1968, American troops enveloped the town and murdered between four hundred and five hundred innocent civilians.

In Lanval, one of Marie De France’s twelve Lais, she demonstrates a narrative poem about love and lust set in medieval times. Her short, romantic tale narrates a knight’s love affair with a maiden that is so beyond beautiful that she surpasses all earthly splendors. Lanval, a knight who sat at King Arthur’s Round Table, is the center of Marie’s story and is envied by all the other men and hated for his gallantry, kindness, attraction and courage.

beliefs tend to lead to the inaccurate portrayal of the past. The two books, The Lais of Marie de France, by Marie de France and The Wolf Hunt by Gillian Bradshaw are prime examples of how our modern beliefs cause this distortion.

The characters in the love triangle that forms all suffer at one time or another which leads to the question is that why this story ended with true love prevailing and there being happy ending for all involved? The common denominator in the "Lais of Marie de France” is the most unifying ideal which is suffering for the sake of true courtly love. In the prologue Marie wrote, “when a truly

“[the] rape of Vietnamese women by American troops during the US invasion of Vietnam was a ‘widespread’, ‘everyday occurrence’ that was essentially ‘condoned’, even encouraged, by the military” (Weaver).
