Many scholars have presented various definitions of genocide from different perspectives. Kuper Leo (1989:19) claims that it is very hard to develop a general theory of genocide. There are many different kinds of massacre, such as eliminating of an ethnic group as whole or a part due to their differences with other groups in race, religion and ideology, in some other cases is because of wealth or natural resources, which either one group consider the other as a threat to their well-being and justifies their annihilation.

He uses many cultural references and jumps from one speaker to another, one location to another, and to different times- which helps scholars to declare it as an obscure poem. Eliot manages to juxtapose all the question with one major question i.e. the role of poetry in this empty and meaningless world, which hints towards reading this poem as an “Anti-Modernist

A Phrase 's Meaning and A Phrases Phrasing In the poem, "To Cole, The Painter, Departing for Europe" by W.C. Bryant, the narrator uses the meaning of words, phonetic phrasing, and poetic devices, to illustrate the major scenic differences between Europe and America. When the narrator describes America in stanza number two, the narrator uses personification, alliteration, and punctuation, to make the stanza, when read out loud, sound just as wild and undeveloped as the landscape it describes. When the narrator describes Europe in stanza number three, the use of commas and the sounds of the words make the stanza sound as developed and obedient as the narrator 's description of Europe. In the second stanza, the narrator depicts "A living

During the final days of Eliezer’s father’s death, Elie’s father completely depends on Elie to bring him food, water, and keep him protected. When Eliezer discovers that his father has been taken away, he thinks to himself, “I did not weep, and it pained me that I could not weep. But I was out of tears. And deep inside me, if I could have searched the recesses of my feeble conscience, I might have found something like: Free at last!...” (Wiesel, 112) When Elie searches through his “feeble conscience”, or weak conscience, his mind is incapable of feeling anything towards his father.

The theme of the novel Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury can be seen as the inevitability of being acted upon by the circle of life. This theme can be seen in the line, “The sunlight outside the theater blazed down upon unreal street, unreal buildings, and people moving slowly as if under a bright and heavy ocean of pure burning gas and him thinking that now, now at last he must go home and finish out the final line in his nickel tablet: SOME DAY, I, DOUGLAS SPAULDING, MUST DIE….” (Pages 189-190). This line represents the central theme and is central to the book as it shows how Douglas has come to realize that the circle of life of that being alive leads to death and change. This line also shows how Douglas has thought deeply about this realization and noticed that the circle of life cannot be changed even if you try to reach for immortality or preserve the present times to avoid change. This theme of always being acted upon by the circle of life affected Douglas and his actions greatly with many instances showing how Douglas wanted to turn away from death and change and look only to the positives of life.

A good example of this would be Lewis writing on the fall of The Eastern Han Empire. Lewis presents several factors as to their decline, however there are two major reasons, decentralization and corruption. Lewis explains that The Han dynasty had based its governmental power in a two tier system that broke up local power in order to keep the central government remaing supreme, however the power deviated from this system. Lewis explains “The provincial governor, however, became a third tier, with command of large populations, great wealth, and significant armed forces— resources that could challenge the authority of the imperial government”. This broke up the power of the central government and decentralized the empire back into states.
