  • Summary Of Missoula By Jon Krakauer

    420 Words  | 2 Pages

    Missoula Discussion One Missoula by Jon Krakauer is a compelling yet unnerving story of Allison Huguet, and the sexual assault epidemic at The University of Montana. Allison is a student, at Eastern Oregon University, who is assaulted while visiting her hometown of Missoula Montana. I like how this book not only tells Allison’s story, but told the story of many other girls in the same town. After introducing Allison the book later tells the stories of Kelsey Belnap, and Kerry Barrett. They were both raped in Missoula and both of their cases were brushed aside by the police department.

  • Review Of God's Jury: The Inquisition And The Making Of The Modern World

    1155 Words  | 5 Pages

    While reading the book “God’s Jury: The Inquisition and the Making of the Modern World”, I found a sense that while the book had very interesting and questioning connections with a variety of passed inquisitions and where or how there are similarities to our modern time. Which is explained greatly by Murphy, functioning as a guide to the readers, offering a tour of the Inquisition’s nearly 700-year-old. I also found that Murphy did a great job in defining and explaining in detail the various gruesome instruments and acts of torture through history and showing similarities and same techniques used today. My the one problem I had was I found it an overall amusing to read, but personally until the first 3-4 chapters the book is quite difficult to digest and connect with, but as the inquisitions began to be more modern era I could relate and see the points and connections that were being made. I found that Murphy’s focus was to demonstrate how the mind-set and some machinery of the Inquisitions are unpreventable products of the modern world that later surfaced in Stalin’s Russia,

  • Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse Five Analysis

    858 Words  | 4 Pages

    It should be established before anything else that the author I have chosen, Kurt Vonnegut, was heavily influenced by World War II. The idea of war, along with its devastating effects, gave Vonnegut a rather cynical and twisted view on human nature. This perspective bleeds over onto his writing and can be seen in many of his major and minor works, including one of his most impactful, “Slaughterhouse 5,” in which he uses time travel, alien planets, and other farfetched ideas to describe the physical and emotional consequences of violent acts. Vonnegut’s fatalistic and overly pessimistic view of the future, most likely stems from the very problems created by The World Wars. The mechanization and automation of weaponry caused an emotional disconnect to form that removed the face-to-face contact experienced in previous wars.
