    Several minutes later Lieutenant Calley returns and says “How come they aren’t dead?” The soldiers then turn to kill them although some seemed apparently uncomfortable and unwilling to do so. The situation in which the soldiers are left alone with prisoners display a similar behavior as witnessed with Why My Lai 1st semester project 46 the subject in the above mentioned experiment. After leaving the soldiers alone with the orders to “take care of them” they show subtle sympathy towards the gathered prisoners in “sparing” their lives rather than shooting them right away. This of course can be interpreted in the individual soldiers’ sense of moral ethics towards his fellow man, but under the circumstances of this specific, somewhat chaotic and brutal event one could just as much assume they are meant to kill the prisoners instead of simply guarding them. Comparing this situation with the experiment we encounter a slight problem when taking the concept of consequence into consideration. For the participant in the experiment there was no immediate consequence in not being obedient to the experimenter and raising the shock level when required. However, for the soldiers in the mentioned situation, they faced an authority figure which during the massacre was known to be life threatening towards the soldiers if they did not do what was ordered. The results of the experiment and the mentioned example differ as we look closer at a situational perspective; nonetheless we see similarities of the two when looking at the result of the given order in the absence of authority. The soldiers involved in My Lai were all part of an institution larger and more powerful than any of those used in the Milgram…

    To truly judge the characters for their heroism, the setting of the story must be understood. “Patriotism” is set in Japan in 1936, which was the pre-World War II era. Patriotism and loyalty were at an all-time high, which created an atmosphere of duty and determination to serve. With that mindset, both characters were justified to sacrifice themselves for what they believed was the greater good. The story centers around the ideas of loyalty and the sacrifice required for that loyalty.…

    The characters in this novel have all shared a tragic tale with each of them sacrificing something for the better. For example, after Mariam is sentenced to death for killing Rasheed , in her final moments “Mariam wished for so much … Yet as she closed her eyes, it was not regret any longer but a sensation of abundant peace that washed over her. She thought of her entry into this world, the harami child of a lowly villager, an unintended thing, a pitiable, regrettable accident. A weed. And yet she was leaving the world as a women who had loved and been loved back. She was leaving it as a friend, a guardian, A mother” (329). This quote is important because all Mariams life she felt like she was not worth anything. But what was tragic was the fact that she loved this family so much she was willing to sacrifice her own life, happiness, and a chance to love again. Mariams realization before her death was sad, because the fact that she was about to face her end and the only thing she could think of was how one family made her believe that she was a person and deserved happiness and love. Additionally, when Mariam was at the hospital with laila, and laila was giving birth to her son zalmai, she didn’t scream once …”Mariam saw now the sacrifices a mother made. Decency was but one. She thought ruefully of nana, of the sacrifices that she to had made. Nana, who could have given her away, or tossed her in a ditch somewhere and run. But she hadn’t. Instead, nana had endured the shame of being a harami, had shaped her life around the thankless task of raising Mariam and, in her own, loving her” (256). This quote was meaningful because Mariam never really understood why nana did some of the things she did. she always questioned if nana really loved her, and if the things she did was in Mariams best interest. But here at this moment she realizes that nana did love her , and everything she did was for Mariam. Unlike jalil who wouldn’t claim Mariam as…
