Analysis Of Khushwant Singh's Train To Pakistan

The Holocaust provided lessons to us on religious persecution. We now know it is wrong to discriminate against someone on their religion, and that it should not matter what religion a person is. Here are a couple religious groups that have been persecuted throughout history. Two examples are the Roma Gypsies and Jehovah’s Witnesses (Christians). The Gypsies, most like the Jews, were moved by Nazis to unusual areas, and almost the entire race of Gypsies in Eastern Europe was wiped out.

For example, the book states that the Alpha Company members “spoke bitterly about people who had found release by shooting off their own toes or fingers” (O’Brien 21). Granted O’Brien did end up serving in the war therefore not stooping to the level of cowardice

Also that she was trying to protect herself from the scandal and her husband’s anger. “The mob was simply angered by the deaths of the white men and proceeded to raze the town of Rosewood.” The whole white neighborhood of Sumner wanted to eradicate the town of Rosewood. Which resulted into their entire town burning into ashes. Loved ones dead and memories lost.

Bertram Cates and Malala Yousafzai are too perfect examples of people standing alone to benefit the community. Both are challenging the education system the way it was. Many deeply hated the things that were being challenged by Cates and Malala . Though more extreme than what Bertram Cates experienced Malala relates to him because of the negative reaction and the shunning she receives from the community. One time when driving in the back of a truck a member of the Taliban came up and shot Malala.

Psychological Warfare in ​The Things They Carried Unless you have been in war or have read ​The Things They Carried​, you can't fully understand the psychological toll on a person's mind and body, you can't understand the psychological hardship soldiers go through in war. However, ​The Things They Carried​, by Tim O'Brien, is written to where it shows the overall psychological effects of war on soldiers in and out of Vietnam; as shown throughout the story, the recurring themes of trauma, love, and guilt give the clear psychological implications of war.

When I was given my first command. I led my men straight into a massacre, (Example 2, imagery and inference. The strong wording of this line allows one to infer that Washington is still plagued with guilt from his past mistakes, as well a providing imagery towards the brutality of what happened and how this still effects him. This line could also be considered hyperbole, as he did not purposefully lead anyone into a known massacre, but the event seemingly did turn into one— so it would not be accurate to classify it as a hyperbole.) I witnessed their deaths firsthand.

By articulating that oppression is deeply grounded through the usage of the Byrd family, demonstrating the incorrectness of these concepts by showing the vengeance wrought upon the Butler family, and displaying the lengths people will go to to break out of oppression, Morrison weaves a compelling arc of literature, grounded in fact. This model of fact-based fictional characters provides for a more compelling narrative and a demonstration about race. Morrison shows the reader about the racial struggles that Milkman and his contemporaries must face during the novel, however, she parallels this fictional story of race with an equally compelling real one, giving the reader a small part the story of race in the United States. This potent mirroring reinforces her points about these pivotal themes and characters for the duration of the

As I have shown you great people with foresight seldom survive to see their dreams become a reality. The death of a great leader rocks a nation and provides the fuel to stoke the embers into flames of change. Assassination may seem like a good idea when dealing with megalomaniacs and dictators such as Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Saddam Hussein, etc. but as we have learned throughout history that there are always people who are more than willing to pick up where they left off and sometimes the original is the lesser of the two evils.

With the growth of society and the fast pace of everyday life, people had slowly forgotten their sympathy and ethical responsibility. In the “Can The Law Make Us Be Decent?” contributed by Jay Sterling Silver, he expresses his feeling of irritation how people goes unpunished even though they stood by to watch people dying. People should be punished for ignoring others in need of help because it’s inhumane. People should be penalized for overlooked the troubled one because they didn’t support those in need even though they have the ability to help. In the article, “If Decency Doesn’t, Law Should Make Us Samaritans” written by Gloria Allred and Lisa Bloom is about the car crash of Princess Diana.

Fate has brought all my pride to a thought of dust,” (Exodus.135-138). Although Antigone had to die for the cost of justice, among other casualties, her search for justice seemed to be successful. The multitude of deaths that occur during the Exodus result in Creon admitting how foolish he has been for being overly prideful and arrogant for thinking that he could outrun his cursed family’s fate. Her death made him discover that fate is a factor of life that should not be messed with. In the end, her brother got a proper burial, and Creon realises his tragic flaw, resulting in catharsis for the reader, and also resulting in Antigone’s struggle for justice to be successful.

Unfortunately, his life was immediately taken away by a fatal murder that raised Jones’ essence back to heaven. Giving this account to his son meant that Coates wanted him to understand that his own race is unjustly targeted as violent beings. The fact that one of his valued friends was murdered because one white individual claimed that he felt endangered in his presence was repulsive towards Coates. This memory scorned his perception of reality of society in that he repeatedly reasoned himself that they have a negative perception towards black

After the Boston Massacre, Americans have realized that the British would use force if it was needed to keep them compliant and obedient. The soldiers that shot at the unarmed men walked away not guilty as Crispus Attucks passes away and other men are put through immense pain from the bullets. The colonists grew weary of the control that the British had on them. The bloodshed from the massacre lit a flame under all of the colonists; they knew if it had happened to Boston it could happen elsewhere. They had to do something about this foreign force called the British.

From an American perspective, Osama bin Laden is a radical Islamist monster responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians. This may be true, but from a jihad perspective, Osama bin Laden can be seen as a hero who was martyred while fighting for his faith. People fear things they do not understand, ignorance and bliss and everyone would like to believe that their personal path and beliefs are inherently “good” or “right”. Islam, communism, they are just ideas, and as “un-American” as they may be this does not constitute evil. Killing innocent people is evil, and the US is just as guilty as anyone for this, the only difference is how people feel they can justify the actions.

I also wonder if Milk happened to be straight, if he would’ve still been killed. This is a sad situation because two innocent lives were lost due to someone else’s selfish actions. I’m glad that after Mascone and Milk’s deaths, others stood up for them. Whether the riot was only for Milk or not it still showed how important those two people were to the community. The demonstrators parading around the plaza also showed how powerful Milk living an openly gay life was to

It informs the other readers of the attacks happening worldwide causing fear instead of human peace. Also, it notifies the community of how they are able to make a difference by praying over the affected families who lost love ones. The aftermath of massacre leaves the readers speechless because it can occur to anyone. An interview that left the reader silenced said, “One witness, whose name was given as Omar, told TRT that his brother was wounded in the explosion” (Letsch, Constanze, and Nicky Woolf). It leaves the readers in doubt about how many other stories are similar to Omar’s story about his brother.
