Comparison Essay- Holocaust and Anti-Semitism As a field of study, history is open to different interpretations of the same events. Historians will no doubt see and understand the same event, or similar events differently. The Holocaust is one such event; Omer Bartov and James Glass each wrote different articles trying to explain the motives behind the anti-Semitism prevalent in Europe during World War Two (WWII) and the Holocaust which occurred as a direct result of that anti-Semitism. Each historian takes a different approach in explaining the same complex issue. Bartov's article, Enemies, Making Victims: Germans, Jews, and the Holocaust, focuses on long-term causes and effects of the anti-Semitism, using mostly secondary sources.
Although Breyer could possibly present a convincing argument, he lacks substantial evidence. McDonald challenges the City of Chicago regarding the Second Amendment and the fact that handguns should not be banned. He finds it an absolute necessity for him as he lives in a lower class neighborhood where gangs are present (Sigale, p3). A somewhat similar case 15 months prior, Heller v.

Jane Tompkins wanted to know the answer to the question of, “All I wanted was a general ideal of what happened between the English settlers and natives in the seventeenth-century New England.” (Tompkins200) She had no ideal of confusing or false information she would come into while trying to find an answer. She researched several writers and scholars who only told half the truth and not the full facts. She saw in the writers writing their opinion instead of facts. Her first research began with Perry Miller who wrote about the movement of European culture. Miller showed in his writing how bias he was with seeing the truth about the Indians.
There were many reasons why things happened the way they did, and why Hitler and the Nazi party was not stopped sooner. I want you to discover some of the historical setting of the play we are going to read together about Anne Frank.
Rome & America Can studying ancient Rome help us better understand our own culture, political system, and society? I believe that it can, as history and anthropology in general can. But what specifically about ancient Rome makes it a common analogy to America? In Are We Rome?, author Cullen Murphy argues that indeed America is a lot like ancient Rome, and the similarities are surprising. While Murphy covers a variety of subjects for comparison in his book, I have chosen to look specifically at the military similarities, which Murphy does in chapter two his book, aptly titled The Legions.
Cultural tensions are present in Blanche’s remark that Stanley is a ‘Polack’; during World War 2, the Polish were seen as the enemy; Blanche using this insult is not because she is against Polacks, but is her taking advantage of the frequently used insult at the time. Blanche is portrayed as a patriotic ‘Southern Belle’ she believes she can use Polack as an insult as she has the upper hand as an American. This change in society can be compared to Willy Russell’s play ‘Educating Rita’, written in 1979. Despite a time difference of nearly forty years, and a completely different country, there are similarities in terms of cultural change being evident in both plays. ‘Educating Rita’ was written at a time of social change in Britain, females were being given more opportunities with many taking on job previously uncommon for women, and a female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, was now in power, encouraging independence for women.

Of Mice and Men – Power Of Mice and Men is a film produced in 1992, depicting the American world during the late 1920’s Great Depression. This event influenced the lives of the characters in the story and of millions of people in real life; in fact, the movie is an adaptation of a novel which was written during the Great Depression, explaining where and how the author of the novel - and consequently, the writers of the movie - got their main themes, ideas and setting from. The author has stylized and exaggerated Of Mice and Men as even though he was influenced by the Great Depression [like in the story], and the novella has evidence that it may have been directly influenced by the author’s life, Of Mice and Men can be considered as a work of fiction and as a result,
