Due to David Olére witnesses and being involved in the extermination, the images painted by him would have been what he had witnessed and experienced at the time. Source B gives us an idea of the horror and misery the Jews who were being gassed went through and an idea of what it would of looked like to see the remains of the dead bodies after they were all murdered. In the corner of Source B you can see a container labeled Zyklon B, this gives the viewer an idea into what extermination phase they were going through at the time that David Olére was there. In sources A, C, and D, it gives us an idea of what horrible jobs the Jews were given at the concentration camps. This can be extremely useful to a historian.
This story section of the book was an overview of the lynching in America. For those who don’t know what lynching is, lynching is when a mob of people kill a human being, mainly hanging them by their necks with a noose hanging from a tree. The section starts off with a poem. The poem is describing the way the whites would hang African Americans from trees just because of the color of their skin. The poet describes the scene and scent as “…the bulging eyes and the twisted mouth the scent of magnolia sweet fresh then the sudden smell of burning flesh here is a fruit for the crows to pluck…” The poet describes the sight as a very gruesome one but in a tolerant and very non explicit manner.
He was summoned by a nurse to hear the dying confessions of an SS Nazi soldier. The soldier wanted forgiveness on behalf of all Jewish people for the things he had done to their fellow brothers. He asked for forgiveness as he was dying because he was afraid that his soul would not be able to rest eternally unless he was forgiven. Simon tries continuously to leave the room in fear of his own life, and also because of his learned hatred of Nazis. He stays and listens to the dying man out of pity and also because the soldier asks and begs him not to leave.
Both Dawe and Slessor use powerful imagery to illustrate their anti-war sentiments. The two poems address the gravity of war and the awful sacrifices of men too young to die and the use of imagery in each adds another dimension and plays a crucial part in emphasizing the message of pieces. Imagery is used in both poems to create a sense of unification in death, both between the families of the dead boys as in homecoming when Dawe used imagery such as ‘the spider grief swings’ through the ‘wide web of suburbs’ as the news of death reaches each house and unifies the whole country in mourning. But a different type of unification in beach burial as Slessor unifies the dead soldiers from both sides of the war, ‘the sand joins them together’ in their graves, they are all labelled as ‘unknown soldiers’ and Slessor describes them all as ‘gone in search of the same landfall’. Another type of imagery that appears in both poems in the description of the war itself and the imagery used reinforces the brutality of it, so is the aim of both poems.
Justice is shown in Lee’s ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ in an ironic sense when Bob Ewell who is the cause of the climax of racial tension in the novel, falls on his own knife. The context of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ is very similar to that of ‘The Tracker’ in that there was racism from the beginning and the story is about a peak in this racism and one man who tries to challenge the respective status quos of their societies. Where Atticus and the tracker differ is in their contexts. Atticus is not responsible directly for the death of Bob Ewell but in a way by Atticus making people think as he stood up for Tom Robinson in the court case, people began to look down on Bob Ewell even more than they had previously, the opposite reaction to what Mr Ewell had hoped for, which ended up killing him. Strangely enough the antagonist in the Tracker is also dead at the conclusion as penance for the evil deeds he has committed however the Tracker is directly responsible for his death as he hangs him to avenge the Aboriginal victims he killed as well as his own white colleague.
Night a modern day Book of Job In Night, the author Eli Wiesel shares his most personal memories of the Holocaust. Where he experienced directly and during which he lost all of his family and many friends. The occurrence of incomparable evil perpetrated by the Germans against the Jews ruined Eli’s hopefulness and his belief in the natural goodness of human beings. Although he could have held on to that view throughout the remainder of his life, Night ultimately shows how Wiesel was eventually able to restore hope and optimism and belief in others and to live with the enormous burden of pain that he carries. Many of the memoirs of the Holocaust such as have this same tone throughout them.
The song speaking of a man repenting to his mother for the murder of another. War, murder and tragedy devastate the lives of those involved. People often take comfort and relate to music, this could
There was racism that was directed towards the whites when Jem and Scout were brought to First Purchase and were not welcomed by Lula. Negroes didn’t want to be near whites and vise versa. This affected the children of Maycomb County, going back to when Jem cries because he was aware that the jury knew Robinson was innocent and wasn’t given justice. Therefore, there was a time where racial prejudice was to blacks and as well as whites. Social prejudice was also a big topic in To Kill A Mockingbird.
However, the poem does convey striking similarities to some of the youth in this country. The youth, moreover the young men, are quite similar to that of the young man in the poem. Like the man in the poem, the young men in this country are dying. When they die they leave absolutely nothing behind, but a mother and sometimes children to mourn for them. However, when time passes, they are forgotten and the mother and children move on.
written by Jessie Pope, and finally contrast this with the poems by Owen. DISABLED I think that in the poem 'Disabled', Wilfred Owen is trying to convey the real tragedy of war. Many people think only of those killed but reading the poem you remember that many people who were not killed in the war could still have suffered a lot more. In the poem Owen focuses on one young man, a single victim of war. It shows the effect the war has on the young man's life, when on returning from the war he has been maimed "legless, sewn short at elbow" Owen writes the poem with style.
