Senid Hakic Professor Shattuck English 099 11/07/12 “Hotel Rwanda” In the movie “Hotel Rwanda “ all the characters were helping each other, but there’s always that one character that sticks out the most and wants to do more. Paul’s the character that helped out the most so everyone can survive genocide. Paul had the resources to make sure everyone would make it safe and no one would get left behind. “Hotel Rwanda” was about how two different kinds of people are fighting against each other because the Hutus are trying to say one of the Tutsis killed their president. Then it all started a war and everything started going downwards and many people were getting killed even if they didn’t do anything.
Document 4 says that not only were they unable to keep up the utilities, they didn’t have skilled administrators to govern their new independent nations. This shows, in a way, that colonialism actually benefited the Africans by giving them security and stability, and by making use of their resources which otherwise would have been undetected and undeveloped. But, it would be wrong to suggest that imperialism was very positive for Africans. Many African men were killed and overworked, as described in Document 6. This left Africa with a reduced supply of capable workers and leaders when they became independent.
Different from other women, who obey men and follow orders, Shelley represents Safie as a rebellious female figure in an attempt to convey her hostility toward sexism. Safie’s strength is shown when she disregards her father and escape to join Felix instead. Because of Safie’s mutinous characteristic, Safie is able to criticize a male dominant society where women’s rights are often neglected. Furthermore, Shelley argues that confinement is nauseating because it is a form of oppression toward women. Victor’s two years of alienation between himself and society during his process of creating the monster parallel the period of a woman’s confinement before labor.
The UN led by Canadian Colonel Oliver are unable to take assertive action against the Interahamwe since they are forbidden to intervene in the genocide. The foreign nationals are evacuated, but the Rwandans are left behind. When the UN forces attempt to evacuate a group of refugees, including Paul's family, they are ambushed and must turn back. In a last-ditch effort to save the refugees, Paul pleads with the Rwandan Army General, Augustin Bizimungu for assistance. However, when Paul's bribes no longer work, he blackmails the General with threats of being tried as a war criminal.

As well as, Alima’s lack of interest within him results in more frustration that leads him to “hide himself under her bed one night… [and there] was the noise of a tremendous struggle” (132 Gilliam). Terry’s attempt to rape Alima reveals the violence within men that causes them to become wild animals that pursue their prey by attack. Regardless of the strength and morality of woman in Herland, once a man provokes violence onto them, they become weak and in order to prevent violence they tend to become inferior to the man and abide by their traditional roles, allowing him to become their master, and thus inequality is sustained. Moreover, in the film, the men mentally abuse their wives by blaming them for their inferiority complexes. As well as, hold them responsible for creating Stepford.
Hutu extremists slaughtered Tutsis and any Hutus that stood in the way. As the massacre continued, the UN/US/France/Belgium refused to aid Rwanda. The US decided that because it was a civil war, it was in everyone’s best interest to remain neutral. Although Terry George’s film, Hotel Rwanda fails to provide a clear distinction between the two “”racial groups” Tutsis and Hutus, it gives an accurate depiction of the complete absurdity of the genocide. There is little background given about the two groups to show how insignificant the differences were.

The United States has spent years trying to help sustain countries in Africa. Africa has always been underdeveloped compared to more developed areas like Europe and North America. Africa faces more problems due to its low soil fertility. The soil in Africa is not as fertile to grow crops so it is difficult to feed their people. While Africa does have some necessities like gold and silver, for the most part during imperialism, other countries have taken advantage of the African people.
