Chris Zacharakis Writing assignment #1 History 101 C.Taylor Both Giovanni Michiel’s and Giorgio Vassari’s written works include first hand eye witness accounts that include detailed experiences. These experiences can present biased opinions of the author which help to better understand the situation and thoughts of people during that specific time. In Giovanni Michiel’s “A Venetian Ambassador’s Report on the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre” he describes a scene of cold bloodshed apparently instigated by Queen Catherine de Medici. In this excerpt he describes the battles and bloodshed as ruthless and thoughtless killing done among catholic citizens against the Huguenots which tends to show biased against Catholics. In Giorgio Vassari’s “The Lives of the Artists” he describes the hard work and dedication of Michelangelo painting the ceiling in the Vatican.
One of their major goals was to disrupt and destroy the South Vietnamese government. Orders were actually given to the invaders to cause maximum disruption to the government to create crisis by killing military and administrative personnel. This reason alone would do some serious damage to the government but another tactic was to kill for “…terrorism and warning.” By killing government officials and private citizens it scared the citizens of not just Hue but all over the area into compliance with the National Liberation Front. The communists also wanted to annihilate Christians for political reasons. The communists always tried to suppress religions anyway possible and because of Ngo Dinh Diem being Catholic and in charge of South Vietnam at the start of the resistance to the North.
The bombings killed many civilians, not all of whom were communist and pro-North. However, he argued, it was a necessary action to wear down the communist regime’s morale and put blows to the enemy’s resources. These attacks were important to the overall outcome of the war and though evil, McNamera felt they were necessary. The last lesson, get the data, was a lesson that McNamera used
And they were senselessly murdered just because they were different. Nothing today can compare to the holocaust because it was so massive and unforgettable. But the holocaust has taught us about how people need to treat each other. If people start to treat each other like the Nazis did the Jews there is no stopping another holocaust from happening again. The Nazis were judgmental raciest and disgusting people who hated anyone who was different then them.
Jeannette shares her story in a very modest way that does not involve anger or self pity. Her parents would move to different towns and would never keep a steady job, even though they were both quite intelligent. Through out her memoir Jeannette walls learns how to be self sufficient and how to take care for her siblings. In the following essay I will critically analyze how Jeannette Walls learns how to take responsibility for her self and her siblings, and how that responsibility shapes how she will become when she is an adult. Initially, from early on Jeannette had to be self-sufficient.
The whites feared but despised the foreigners due to the mutter of the war. Disher shows that the tension of the war affects a society in the way we view
In the documentary, Michael Moore claims that catalyzed fears for good or wrong reasons lead people to violence. Issues such as racism, unsustained fear and violence will be discussed in this essay. Living in fears… If there is one thing that unites Americans, it is the intense, and often deadly, fear of the other and even sometimes of each other. Michael Moore is taking a deep look into the American culture. Long after the years where they had to fight for their land and their freedom (by the way, at the expense of the American Indians), they seem to have become completely paranoid.
I did a little reasearch online, just found out that white earth was a name of native american tribe. For my understanding, the author was took away to boarding school many years until they reture their own tribe, they couldn't understand their language any more, had to re-learned all over again. Their history all come from stories which the author heard from his mother. The tone in this story, seems author is very happy to go back tribe. I don't know if I understand this right or not.
Families are full of love and hope but to annihilate that all is a complete act of putrid evil and hate. War gives illusional rights to these inhumane beings that these acts are a part of life which they aren’t. Natural death should be the cause of all these lives, not innocent murder. War is the reason these families blood has been spilt. After all these past events, the 1800’s wars, The Boer War, WWI, WWII and The Cold War, you’d think we’d all have learnt our lesson that war was destroying people, along with the world.
Crucible in the Modern Day World The world is full of those who think their ways are better than others. These people condemn those who don’t have their same beliefs. Prejudice views and judgments cause the world to erupt in wars and conflicts that sometimes are not easy to overcome. The Crucible still speaks to audiences because of prejudice and false judgment everywhere. In the Crucible, Parris tells Tituba she must confess: “You will confess or I will take you out and whip you to your death, Tituba!” (1233).
