In the early summer of 1942, a gathering of young fellows — including Willi Graf, Christoph Probst and Hans Schol shaped an a peaceful resistance amass in Nazi Germany, comprising of various understudies from the College of Munich and their reasoning educator. The gathering got to be distinctly known for a mysterious pamphlet crusade, enduring from June 1942 until February 1943, that called for dynamic resistance to the Nazis administration. The gathering co-created six hostile to Nazi Third Reich

The book “Sophie Scholl and the White Rose” by Annette Dumbach is a book about resistance, Nazism and the path to freedom under Hitler’s rein. In this story the main characters Sophie and Hans Scholl play a part in the path towards resistance during Hitler’s power. Sophie and her brother both start as being fans of Nazism and Hitler’s rein. “Hans was an active Hitler Youth leader- all the children had been members of the movement- the most disturbing aspect of their lives had been the conflicts this

The film Sophie Scholl reflects the repetition of the concept of the “Hero from across the sea”. One of Northrop Frye's lessons on biblical stories, he explores in detail what “the hero from across the sea” means. This theory consists of a wasteland that is ruled by the impotent old king, whose land is being destroyed by a sea monster whose only goal is to demand human sacrifice. In this story, the king's daughter “the princess tied to a rock” is chosen as a sacrifice to the sea monster, but luckily

The courageous people that took part in the White Rose acts are the best definitions of showing moral courage. The White Rose's acts that happened during World War II made a big difference. A group of young men and women stood up for what is right, and we need more of that in this world. We need more moral courage in this modern day world. Many people do not know about the White Rose actions but, everyone should. Everyone should also look into their actions, take them into consideration and learn

Copper is neither particularly loyal or intelligent, but he is an excellent fighter. Recruited by the Flickering Shadows in the early days of the clan, Copper is respected by all, but a friend of none - he prefers to keep company, instead, with his hoard of loot, won through many years of fighting, defending the territory. Despite his lack of true allegiance to the Flickering Shadows clan (something which Obsidian and Raspberry aren't pleased with, but accept), Copper is dedicated to defending the

In the epic poem, “The Song of Roland” the tale depicts the Battle at Rencevaux in which the protagonist is betrayed and serves as a martyr to justify the Crusades. The Crusades were a medieval military expedition by the Roman Catholics to purge the Muslims from the Holy Land. With this definition of the Crusades, one can conclude that the “Song of Roland” should not be considered apart of the Crusades as the poem’s context is historically inaccurate, written long after the events, and lacks a credible

The French epic, The Song of Roland, relates the conflicts between Christians and Muslims in 778 A.D. In it, Charlemagne and his men, weary in their seventh year of battle against pagan forces in Spain, have captured every heathen stronghold but the kingdom of Saragossa, held by the Muslim king Marsile. Terrified of the might of Charlemagne’s army, Marsile promises treasures, hostages and his conversion to Christianity if the Franks will go back to France. However, Marsile has no intention of surrendering

protected by gods. Most have, in one fashion or another, been greater than common men. Stories were created to explain how these men came to be and how most have risen to the heights of kings in many cases. The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Song of Roland are two of these stories that tell tale of great epic heroes. They were both larger than life though both were flawed in different and similar fashions. They share the similarities of a complementary companion. Those companions differed greatly

noble knight, Roland exhibits the ideal characteristics that a king in the Middle Ages would have desired to have under his service. However, Roland suffers from a key internal flaw: pride. A flaw that ultimately brings death and destruction upon thousands of French troops. Yet, Roland is still pictured as a hero by the end of the Song of Roland. Why does he receive so much praise? Because Roland realizes his prideful judgment and responds in a heroic way. Even with his pride, Roland still represents

The Song of Roland by Dorothy L. Sayers is about a poetic battle between two religions and two nations. King Charlemagne’s army is at war with the Muslim kingdom in Spain called Saragossa ruled by King Marsilla. King Charlemagne is determined to have the people of Saragossa submit to his laws and rulings. King Charlemagne is the king of the Franks and a devoted Christian. His influence as a Christian militant in the Western part of Mediterranean gave him a lot of power to expand the Kingdom of the
