The Untrue White F. Scott Fitzgerald uses symbolic colors to express the irony in the novel The Great Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s assortment of color usage gives life to the characters, places, and objects in this book. However, the most definite is the color white; symbolizing purity, cleanliness, and innocence, white is one of the main symbols in the novel. Nevertheless, this color only gives the impression of chastity. In reality, this ‘harmlessness’ is corrupted with deception and false impression to camouflage the poison, malignance, and filth it truly represents.
The New York Times has said that the novel, Night, was “A slim volume of terrifying power.” The Los Angeles Times has also said that, When the Emperor Was Divine, is, “a gentle, understated novel…has more power than any other I have read about this time.” Both reviews express that the two novels express some type of strong emotion that impacts the readers and also the reviewers. Although these two novels are great to explain a lot on the events of how living in a concentration and holocaust camps are, they have a lot of differences and also similarities. In the two novels, Night and When the Emperor Was Divine, both plots are written about a war going on and how families are uprooted from their homes and taken hostage. Although these two stories have this similarity, there are plenty of differences. The characters in When the Emperor Was Divine were from a Japanese heritage.

The novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, and the 2002 movie Equilibrium directed by Kurt Wimmer, are in fact, perfect examples of this. Both the book and the movie, use censorship to illustrate a utopian society gone wrong, or in other words, dystopia, in which thinking and feeling are executional crimes. The novel Fahrenheit 451 and movie Equilibrium have comparable characters, themes and settings, and both conclude that forced utopian societies always fail, and that unfortunately there is no “perfect world”. First of all, a comparison can be made between the protagonists, antagonists and secondary characters of the novel and movie. These characters
Although mentioning this role last, Assur-Nassir-Pal II ironically boasts about his status as warrior more profoundly than the others. Displayed on the walls of his palace at Nimrud in Mesopatamia, this excerpt portrays Assur-Nasir-Pal II as a mighty warrior. Assur's words personify his achievements in battle, having described his soldiers as “birds of prey” that defeated the once undefeated. When illustrating his own characteristics as a warrior, Assur-Nassir-Pal II exaggerates his conquests. He claims to have massacred 260 enemy soldiers and having “their heads cut off in heaps”.
A full-throated defense of the senator is now in the bookstores. Written by M. Stanton Evans, a conservative journalist whose roots stretch back to Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign, it carries a title, “Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America’s Enemies” (Crown Forum, $29.95), that well explains its thesis. Though a handful of other pro-McCarthy books have appeared over the years — the most recent being Arthur Herman’s “Joseph McCarthy: Reexamining the Life and Legacy of America’s Most Hated Senator” — none created much interest among conservatives. But “Blacklisted by History” is drawing significant attention on the political right, where the reviews have ranged from gushing (The Weekly Standard) to scathing (National Review). If nothing else, Evans has forced his movement friends to look again at McCarthy.
Zachary Fedewa Ms. J Williams 5th Period English II 2 April 2013 Holocaust Profit Makers Many companies contributed to the assistance needed for the Nazis throughout the Holocaust but it is no secret that some companies take up more responsibility than others for the attempted extermination of the Jews. While some companies merely provided unharmful supplies others produced specific and dangerous instruments that could be clearly utilized for mass murder. Many questions still remain today such as who was responsible, who benefited, and who gave out compensation to the victims of the Holocaust. Fortunately, thorough research has provided the sufficient information to answer these questions. Primarily, companies that aided the Nazis received
Even though they were fought twenty years after each other there are similarities and differences between the way they started, were fought, and the outcome. World War I was started by the alliances that were formed between the major powers of Europe. So when one country was involved in some conflict all of the countries were, this made a world war inevitable. When Austria-Hungary declared war their allies, Germany and Italy declared war as well leading into the First World War. In contrast, during World War II the war was started because Germany was upset with the Treaty of Versailles, the treaty that ended World War I, not because of their commitment to their allies.
First of all, the Turkish people classified Armenians as enemies within the state; Christian Armenians were enemies of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire was a powerful society; western countries were not going to start a war because millions were slaughtered. Today, the talk of human rights crimes is a serious conversation, involving enormous penalties, and severe consequences for those involved. But during the time of the Armenian genocide, the most prominent and most important ideal, was national interest ("Genocide.”). Throughout 1915, World War I was beginning and the majority of these countries were involved.
Rwandan Genocide The Rwandan genocide is probably the most intensive killing campaign in human history. The ethnic dimension of the Rwandan genocide was a result of a century of ethnic division, which was not characteristic of Rwandan society prior to colonial rule. The country was first colonized by the Germans (1894-1916) but was taken over by Belgium (1916-1962), which used a “divide-to-rule” strategy to keep control. The minority Tutsi (14%) were given preferential treatment even though the Hutus (85%) were not considered an actual distinct ethnic group. [19] Belgian colonizers classified the two groups, the Tutsi were generally taller, thinner, and more “European” in their appearance than the shorter and stockier Hutus, thus, the Belgians
