Richter Abend Quotes

For the topic of my essay I have chosen to write about a fictional character I encountered whose inspirational quote has had a significant impact on me. The characters name is Richter Abend and his quote is “Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality”. Richter Abend was ridiculed and persecuted all his life for his race. He was so afraid he circumvented and ignored the bullies but then he learned nothing would ever change if he stayed that way. This was similar to how I felt in middle school when I was bullied.

    C3. a quotation that stands out to me is, “it was a wonderful picture: himmelstoss on the ground; haie bending over him with a fiendish grin and his mouth open with bloodlust, himmelstoss head on his knees” (50). This quote is significant because it demonstrates just how much the soldiers disliked himmelstoss. Himmelstoss is the most feared disciplinarian in the camps and he forced soldiers to obey ridiculous and dangerous orders because he enjoys tormenting them. The men are already angered by him but they now hear of His idea of a cure for Tjaden bed-wetting.

    Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. Those who were not strong enough to be soldiers had been eradicated by this point. I guess I could argue that some of those who were left who eventually became soldiers weren’t exactly strong enough to cope as soldiers, or so it seemed. Back when we were training, they were even worse. Those who showed strength back then are much more stronger now.

    Nobody likes him, but nobody is willing to stand up to him or help the victims. By ignoring the situation, the bully has no reason to stop bullying. It is the same concept just on a much grander scale. Elie Wiesel says, “...indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor - never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten”(Weisel, 10). Indifference should be addressed so those who are in need won't feel alone and forgotten.
