North Vietnamese were against the Americans during the war and had multiple reasons in hating Americans. Some reasons they hated Americans were because the North Vietnamese “deaths were very many” (Adams) and because of the “the poisons Americans dropped” (Adams) onto their land. By having so many deaths, the families of those people were sad and the North Vietnamese troops lessened. The poisons
It was about a retired Korean War veteran, named Walt Kowalski who is pretty racist towards the Hmong family that lives next door. The movie starts out at a funeral. The funeral is for Walt’s wife and his family is there. He’s not on very good speaking terms with his sons. His grandkids are all over after the ceremony and he finds his grand daughter, Ashley, smoking next to his car.
The United States was afraid there were more Japanese spies plotting another attack. More than 110,000 Japanese families were forced to relocate into internment camps for national security reasons. Japanese Americans serving in the U.S military were more suspicious than others. Living conditions in the camps were very harsh and barbarous. The housing, food, and living conditions were outrageous.
They needed the Americans, and they used an ingenious tactic to cause the Americans to join the war: the death of its own civilians. The civilians on the ship, warned by the Germans, refused to listen to a warning, causing their death on the Lusitania. The total number of Americans who died represented a very small portion of the United States’ total population. The American public over-exaggerated the sinking of the Lusitania and overreacted to the death of very few people compared to America as a whole. The British blockade kept all trades away from the Germans, including food (Ghost Liners 124).Yet, when the Germans retaliate, the Americans hate them for it.
Immediately after election, Opimius cancelled several of Gracchus’ laws an called into question his actions in Carthage, “omitting nothing that was likely to irritate him.” A rabble-rouser might have used this as ammunition to riot or try and overthrow the government but Gaius “bore these things very patiently,” and only “at the instigation of his friends,” gathered his supporters to oppose the consul’s decisions. At the meeting of both parties one of the consul’s attendants made an obscene gesture and was killed on the spot by Gracchus’ party. As custom of his character, Gaius was very saddened and “severely reprimanded his own party,” for this action that would eventually lead to his death because Opimius was rousing his party into a frenzy at that same moment. When the two parties met, Gaius could not be convinced to bring any arms except a small dagger under his cloak. Gaius wanted to turn himself in to avoid fighting but his loyal supporters would not let this happen and after Opimius denied the proposals of agreement for the second time he sent his troops after Gaius and his party.

Because of this, he embodies an angry character, which he then takes out on the people around him, including his loved ones. In the movie adaptation of the short story “In a Grove”, the wife of the samurai was unhappy in her marriage, unbeknownst to her husband, and felt oppressed, so she tried to use Tajomaru, a criminal, as a way out of it. Because she did not want to be honest with her husband about the way she felt, the wife lived an unhappy life, and endured a traumatic experience trying to get out of it. Unlike the wife, Tajomaru was very honest about the crimes he had committed and the things he wanted, and therefore lived a happier and more carefree
For Antigone and Creon these consequences were very extreme. Antigone in reality killed her sister and fiancé by deciding to berry her dead brother, even though everyone around her begged her not to.

All this because of one decision she made to berry her brother caused her life to fall apart and everyone she loved to disappear.
Relationships can be hard, especially, when careers interfere. If Cliff did quit so he could stay with Priscilla, she may regret being the cause of him quitting or he may always hold it over her head by saying, “you should do this for me since I quit my career to be with you.” Another problem with this relationship is that Cliff and Priscilla are an interracial couple. Interracial couples were permitted but not accepted during this time, especially in the South. Even though the nation was desegregated, not everyone approved of blacks and whites being together. Cody the bartender told Sam how his Father would have handled Cliff and Priscilla’s relationship if it had occurred while Buddy was
Many similarities can be found between the way in which German Americans were treated during World War I and the way Muslim Americans were treated after the 9/11 terrorist attack. German Americans suffered discrimination during a war they had nothing to do with and the same unfair treatment happened with Islamic and Arab Americans after the 9/11 attacks. This was widespread and hurt many innocent people solely because of people’s ignorance and racism. The discrimination of German Americans started when they stood up and labeled themselves anti-war. This caused the people and President Wilson to question their loyalty to America.
