    In The Rock and the River, by Kekla Magoon, “all it takes for evil to exist is for good people to do nothing” is a prominent theme. An example of this is when Bucky had just been brutally beat and arrested by the police. The police did this in broad daylight in front of everyone including Maxie and Sam. “People on the street began going about their business again. The radio blasted, covering the silence of disbelief, of resignation.” (pg. 68). This quote demonstrates the theme because it shows that if the people watching the violence happen (aka the “good people”) do nothing, then the cop’s racism (aka the evil) would continue existing.…

    “They did not die they were murdered.” This shows a contrast through image of good and bad, innocent and evil. It stresses the importance of understanding the difference between just dying and murder. This quote also shows that Keller’s family didn’t only die, they were murdered which gives an image that the Nazis are evil, cold and disgusting because they murdered innocent people and destroyed lives, like Keller’s.…

    The quote in question is “All good is destined to be defeated.” The quote means, for every good guy, there is a bad guy. For every hero, there is a villain. Everyone who has ever tried to do something good has been destined to be stopped. The quote not only speaks for literature, but for everything. If you look from now, all the way back to ancient times, you will see examples of this in many works of literature. The book The Outsiders is a good representation of the quote.…

    The professor Philip Hallie’s ‘From Cruelty to Goodness’ radiates unwavering genuine philanthropy which by its nature oppose the cruelty and imbalance of power he talks about. The understanding of how cruelty works goes through the understanding what cruelty is and what morality has to say about that. Professor Hallie recognizes two types of ethics- negative and positive- that illuminate the path of good-making. The negative is the ban for actions associated with deliberate harm-making and pain-inflicting on other human beings. The most significant negative ethical rules are the Ten Commandments, says the professor. As reverse, the positive rules enjoin actions that preserve human’s welfare. The positive ethics commands activity; demands courage, and takes sacrifice. The positive ethical rules are for the brave. In close association with the ethical rules, whether negative or positive, comes the question what cruelty is? Had we looked at the institutionalized type of cruelty from the near past to nowadays as the slavery, the Holocaust, the political prisons and the prisoner-of-war camps we would see the cruelty is not mere bloodshed, cut-off limbs, beatings and other atrocities which all are included though. The cruelty goes beyond that- it affects the self-respect, self-esteem, all of that which makes person a person and destroys it. So the cruelty not only (often) kills the body, it first kills the spirit, the soul, the life inside. As professor Hallie uncovers the cruelty derives from something so frequently seen as the imbalanced power in the relationship. The relationship could be both personal (private) or institutionalized. The imbalance is being born when the power between the two parties is unequally distributed, often leaving one of the parties with negligible or no power. Respectively, the strong party gains not only the power to decide for herself but to rule over the destiny of the powerless side. The imbalance of power resides in families, business…

    “Total silence in the camp. On the horizon, the sun was setting”(Wiesel, 64). In this moment, three men are hanged for their crimes, and the prisoners are forced to watch. They say nothing, and watch with sullen eyes as more and more of them are put to death like animals. It's the terror put into them from watching these constant hangings, shootings, and burnings that make the prisoners sit still and watch. Anyone worthy of calling themselves human would say something about the horrifying things happening in the camps, but these men were stripped of their humanity and simply…

    I found my favorite quote after I read the book SOLD in class. The book was about a young girl who got sold into the sex slave trade and it illustrated her realization of how horrible the world can be. Even the people who should depend on can cross you and become untrustworthy. My quote is by Patricia McCormick who writes a main character named Lakshmi. The main character snuck down after a customer and saw the woman who owned her paying off a police officer to look the other way. She began to realize that things were not what they seemed. “I don't understand this city. It is full of so many bad people, even the ones who are supposed to be good.” (Pg. 159)…

    I agree with the statement, “Being a neutral bystander helps those who are evil, that remaining silent encourages even more evil to happen.” Meaning if you do not do anything many people will get hurt and staying quiet never helps a situation.

    “A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inactions, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury” (Brainy Quote 1). Through my sixteen years of living, I have learned that there are wrongs in our communities, in our country and in the world. Just like I, Rabbi Abraham Heschel, from the Baltimore Board of Rabbis, believes “In a free society where terrible wrongs exist, some are guilty, all are responsible.” Heschel sends a strong message, hoping to terminate tragedies around the world by urging citizen involvement. As humans, it is our responsibility to do the right thing and it is crucial for us to consider the consequences of continued inaction. There are actions we can take to assume responsibility,…
