  • Review Of My Hands: Memoirs Of A Holocaust Rescuer

    International aid and related groups have come about after the horrors of the 1930s and 40s, such as the UN, yet basic human rights are repeatedly violated in nations where corruption is rampant. Consequently, the UN has been an extreme presence in Israel from its formation to the modern day, but the tension between the Israelis and Palestinians is still mounting at the cost of hundreds of lives. The failings of a seven decade old institution provide evidence that the greatest victories over unnecessary death come from the actions of individuals, however humble they may be. Take, for example, Malala Yousafzai, and teenager from Pakistan who has defied the Taliban, a strong political group comparable to the Nazi party, for the sake of defending girls’ right to become educated. In a 2013 speech to the UN, Malala said, “[The extremists] are afraid of women.

  • Crooked Smile Analysis

    730 Words  | 3 Pages

    I’m going to be writing my paper on a song called “Crooked Smile” by J.Cole, J.cole or Jermaine Cole, was originally born in Germany. When he was 8 months old he and his mother moved to Fayetteville, North Carolina. He attended St. Johns University and graduated with great distinction, he got introduced to music when he was 12 by a family member and ever since then he has been infatuated with rap music and the art of storytelling through music. I feel as though the thesis of this song is simply this, why feel the need to impress someone who doesn’t care about you or why let your insecurities stop you from being great? I also sense that there is an underlying meaning inside the song that promotes not catering to the conformity of society, such as you don’t need a “perfect” body and an amazing face just to be a star to yourself.

  • The Taliban Against The Hazaras Analysis

    69 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Taliban were against the Hazaras. I think this statement was placed in the book because the Taliban took charge of the Hazaras and destroyed them just like Amir took charge of Hassan when they were children and eventually destroyed his dignity. I like how the author did this because it is a connection to Amir’s life, and I think that is very clever of the author. (67 words)

    However, Hosseini also explores the theme of authority that family has over others and how dark feelings can rule people’s lives. Power is depicted in three different ways in the novel: the Taliban’s rule over Afghanistan, Baba’s pull on Amir, and the guilt Amir feels over himself. To begin, the most obvious form of absolute power in the novel is the Taliban in Afghanistan. After Russia is defeated, the Taliban emerge as the heroes; although they have dark intentions with the power, following the path of many organizations throughout history. First, they took away freedoms: “ 'They don’t let you be human . . .

    Out of all the things Elie Wiesel and Malala Yousafzai have in common, the most obvious is this: both have been victims of violent acts in the means of suppression to assert the power of their captors and attackers. Wiesel’s autobiography, Night, documents his experience as a Jew during the Holocaust. Jon Stewart’s interview with Yousafzai, as well her story I Am Malala provide insight on her perspective on the actions of the Taliban, the terrorist group that attempted to kill her for advocating women’s education in Pakistan. Their testimonies, as well as Maurice Ogden’s “Hangman”, a poem telling the story of the way a town reacts when a mysterious man comes to kill them all, lead to one clear, concise message. When injustices occur, people
