Since there is no mention of key factors to point at Sir Lanka, readers are to take the novel as a commentary about several places that experienced post-colonial trauma. Western readers who never experienced trauma on the level of Sir Lanka – readers will see that trauma is as definable as the disappearances of people during civil wars. Ondaatjee uses his novel to send a message: trauma is incapable of being accurately described and people can only attempt to understand trauma. Yet, readers will never quite understand the mental strain on a person unless the person has dealt with something traumatic themselves. Ondaatjee uses Anil to start off the narration of Anil's Ghost, using her as the equivalency to a Western reader.
Grabowicz begins the paper by comparing Holodomor to other great tragic events such as the Armenian genocide. This is Grabowicz,s attempt to express just how devastatingHolodomor was by comparing it to a more well-known event and then concluding that it was much worse. According to Grabowicz, anotherfact that makes Holodomor unique is that it was imposed on the ukrainians by their political leaders. Grabowicz illustrates this by stating that "the Armenians as a nation were never obliged to expresspraise and love for their killers." That is in comparison to the Ukrainian people who were expectedto praise and love the Soviets despite what had been done to them.
However, the state or any other individual has no grounds to intervene if you’re not seen to harm others. This would unfairly deprive you of the autonomy that’s rightfully yours and you would cease to be free, in the liberal sense. It could potentially lead to others having control of aspects of your life in which they have no say, something which contravenes the idea of liberalism. This extends further, as the excerpt shows. The state and other individuals cannot intervene if you decide to do something which could potentially harm yourself but not other individuals.
If everyone complained and no one picked up the trash, the situation would stay the same (at best). But most likely it would worsen—the trash is not going to pick itself up, and will continue to pile up. Instead of complaining, we can do something by first realizing that we have a choice. You’re not responsible for the entire world’s trash and problems. None of us is.
In taking her readers on this journey, Roach sought to inform them about the strange and important lives of people postmortem, something which is rarely thought about or discussed. She accomplishes this through the use of syntax, a wide variety of facts, and well placed humor. One of the initial things the reader will notice is the way the text is presented, and Mary Roach definitely uses syntax to her advantage. Roach writes in first person, which is unusual for a non-fiction book. By doing this, she makes the book read like a narrative, providing the text with intimacy.
Was the League of Nations a failure? The League of Nations is thought to be a failure by many, because of hard irony and limitation on military might. The League accomplished very little in stopping wars and conflicts while having very little power. Often they just shook fists at ruthless, evil dictators such as Germany’s Adolf Hitler and his conquests, without intervening. Another Major flaw was that “the country, whose president, Woodrow Wilson, had dreamt up the idea of the League - America -, refused to join it.” The league’s most powerful militaries Britain and France not only suffered casualties, but also economically as they were greatly in debt to the United States.
Three, capital punishment goes against almost every religion. 1. B) Positive analysis over this issue is so problematic if a factual resolution to the issue exists because of human rights abusers, countries creating a domino effect on the ban on capital punishment, and amount of money spent on cases leading to capital punishment. 1.

Life after Death Confrontation with death has been a question raised since the beginning of our society. “Confrontation with death raises urgent questions because death remains taboo in our society yet it is normal for people to die everyday. More than 2,530,000 die in the U.S each year and more than 70 million people world wide”(Lommel xi). So why are people so scared of death when a reassurance of an afterlife has been described through experiences of others? Their near death experiences or NDEs will be described as well as some scientific evidence and religious beliefs to persuade that is life after death and explain why we should not be afraid of “the end.” Near Death Experiences have been described through many different people.
