“I found myself accepting whatever was told to me with equanimity and a detachment I would have never believed possible…I felt lonely, but it was an animal loneliness. I became part of the darkness of the night…,” quoted Hiroshima bomb survivor, Dr. Hachiya (Steele). Burns, fires, and radiation-related diseases hovered over the survivors. Compared to the mental and emotional ailments, the physical damages were nothing. Images of death combines with nightmares disturbed the citizens relentlessly (Chaitin-1).
On one hand we have “Dr. Strangelove” who makes us laugh about what we should be concerned and worried about, and the film transforms this horrible idea about the bomb and massive destruction into something funny and peculiar that we should accept as part of our normal life. In this film all the characters seems to be unreal and mentally insane. A human sickness is the one who determines when, where, and how we should drop a bomb. On the other hand, we have “Fail-Safe” that, from a very serious point of view, exposes the problematic of nuclear bombs.
Sorry to hear that, Bob” (228) even his death is inferred from Jim’s responses. I think Hofmann has chosen to do this so as to highlight how many people in the corporate world are treated as being insignificant and also the lack of humanity between individuals in this field of work. We learn, based on Bob’s sufferings that Madras, the place Bob is at, has been struck by some sort of nuclear explosion and it is interesting to note how Jim is quick defend the company
They tried to bring justice for the unidentified, unheard voices of the innocent, but somehow they felt they failed. The people were now in bigger danger; the familiar faces now deaths target. Irene and Francisco felt the bitter taste in the air as they walked. They had just run away from
He seems to be lost within the joy of killing when he says “Another baby next. O one-two-three the murderer inside me rose up hard.” Which Hitler himself became enthralled with soon losing sight of his reasons behind the “exterminations.” It is the last sentence in the last stanza that connects all of the dots. “If only they’d all consented to die unseen gassed underground the quiet Nazi way.” This quote is included to help show the much deeper more literal meaning of this poem. It also adds to the view that the farmer has gone from trying to save his farm from pests to trying to almost wipe the entire species of woodchucks from the earth. It also seems to show that he blames the woodchucks for not going down easily adding to the reader’s view of him becoming completely
Harry's conviction led him to a life of remorse and disgrace, and both men felt nothing but repulsion and repentance after coming to realization with what they have done. Victor truly believed that in bringing the Creature to life, he was indeed bettering the world, as Harry assumed that through guiding Dexter into becoming a murderous vigilante he was aiding mankind. Ironically both men were utterly mistaken; all Victor's Creature truly accomplished was murdering his loved ones in anger, and terrifying the world with his appalling appearance. Dexter on the other hand might've helped mankind, but who's to say it was his right to kill all those people? One might argue "The Justice System does that exact act every day."
Frankenstein Sean Saenz Period 1 5/21/11 ''Ignorance is bliss, and knowledge is pain.'' This statement’s truth is argued in Frankenstein.

If I could do one thing to change the world, I would… I would stop discrimination, I would dissapear violence, I would stop polution and run a campaign to obtain world peace. When you really think of it, our world is such a magnificent creation. It is a gift, given to us without expecting anything back but for us to take care of it. Mother Earth has carried our ancestors, it has carried us, and it will carry our future blood chain. I get so mad when people throw trash on the floor, or when they spread toxics that contaminates our air.
Even though the sandkings enslaved Kress after they found him near the house, I think Kress didn't earn enough punishment. He has the evil spirit inside his body which obliterated his humanity when he let the shamble happened in his final party. I think Kress' inability led him had a cruel characteristic like sandkings had when he followed his pets order. His inhuman actions costed his pets revenged him and killed his friends in the party. Therefore, it is reasonable for Kress to be order a death penalty to pay off the crimes he made to
Climate of Denial Analysis Al Gore's article Climate of Denial provides the general public with a horrifying true story on how we as a collective people are working in unison to slowly destroy our planet. It is not one single person's fault, it takes the power of many to pollute this planet. Gore just touches on the base of some issues like, how the media is controlled by the rich who often times happen to be corrupt politicians trying to pass on misleading information for personal gain. He also includes the shocking effects of Global warming that have already occurred and President Obama's fleeting effort to put a stop to it all. There is no doubt that the effects of global warming are right in front of the faces of the public but most
