    James Keenan uses Albert Speer as a modern example of the sin that God detests: consciously avoiding to love others. In contrast to Hitler, who was at the time seen as an altogether vessel of hate and discrimination, Speer didn't embody those belief systems. Instead, Speer was a simple but famed German architect who was only "interested in his architectural work, his career, and his family" (Keenan 54). Seeing that Speer wasn't driven by the same prejudice that Hitler carried, doesn't that make Speer technically more innocent than Hitler? In a way, yes. However, with that innocence comes the expectation not neglect an opportunity to assist those who need help. This wasn't the case with Speer, who helped to bolster Hitler's influence in Europe…

    History is everything but a great man’s biography. It’s what causes great men to rise, and sacrifice their lives for others. It’s what causes millions of deaths. In 1933, a genocide by Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany killed six million Jewish people. This was one of the deadliest genocides in the world. Its horrifying stories are still told today through the books like The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Yellow Star, and much more. Similarly, Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli is another novel that keeps history alive to make sure the children of today understand their ancestors and cruelties of the past.…

    Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were two of the most evil men in history, responsible for countless atrocities. They had many similarities as well. Both men committed genocide to further their political agenda, massively improved the militaries of their respective countries, had their own different groups of secret police and spies, and finally they were both tyrannical totalitarian dictators. Despite sharing many similarities, their government structure and political philosophies were very different. Adolf Hitler was a Fascist who believed in a highly centralized government with himself at the top of the pyramid. Joseph Stalin was a communist who believed in collectivism and instilling fear into his political opposition. Although there are…

    Although Hitler and Stalin both employed a special police force to help control the country under their totalitarian rule, Hitler’s force relied on having secret police everywhere while Stalin relied on having individuals report their friends and coworkers. To control citizens by spying on them and imprisoning them, Hitler employed the use of the Himmler’s SS and the Gestapo political police. The SS initially started off as Hitler’s personal bodyguards, but under Himmler’s command, they evolved into a more powerful force, who were eventually responsible for the Final Solution. The Gestapo, while somewhat similar to the SS, were Hitler’s secret police, who focused on taking down any opposing political opponents, primarily those who went underground after the creation of the one party system in Germany. The Gestapo were responsible for the capture and imprisonment of most opposing political leaders in Nazi Germany. According to the book on Germany, “Denouncers and…

    Wise Blood Vs Maus

    • 2015 Words
    • 9 Pages

    In the comparison of two novels, Wise Blood by Flannery O’ Connor and Maus I & II by Art Spiegelman, it is first important to understand the objective differences between the two. The former is a fictional telling of Hazel Motes’ world – where he is at a constant struggle to understand his own faith along with the battle against an industrialized version of religion. The latter, on the other hand, is a true account of one man’s battle through the Holocaust in the form of a direct conversation with his son, the writer. It almost seems criminal to compare the two, but when delving in deeper it doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary to imagine the similarities that could be found not between the two main characters (with the assumption of Art Spiegelman,…

    Ultimately, the book "I Am Legend" is a different work of fiction than the film. You can read the book after the film and still be surprised at every twist. The book's message is much more meaningful to me, and is less cheery than the movie (believe it or not). I will not divulge in this section any of the book's details that are not readily apparent, so there are no spoilers until the end of the article. All I will say is that the…

    What is it that brings all dictators together in comparison? Is it their ruthless actions towards others? Could it be their thirst for power? Or maybe it's the fact that all dictators use others to gain for themselves. "He [Napoleon] would only be too happy to let you make your decisions by yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would we be?" (Orwell page 50). These examples prove Napoleon, ruler of Animal Farm, and Pol Pot, ruler of Cambodia, are indeed similar.…

    What represented the birth of a new society comes to an end eventually, and the cycle continues of apocalypse to a creation myth. The novel starts off describing Neville’s apocalyptic life, being the only one alive, living in a dump, and having a murderous persona. Throughout the novel, Neville continues to approach things with a one sided view. In the very end of the novel he realizes that others kill to survive as well, and in order to survive in an apocalypse, one must have an open mind. To conclude, within an apocalypse, there can still be elements of a creation myth; the cycle from an apocalypse to creation story is fueled by humanity's murderous behavior and the threat of new ideas, therefore, I Am Legend represents both an apocalyptic and creation myth…

    I am Legend is a story about Robert Neville, a man who is supposedly the only human still living in a post-apocalyptic world. An infectious virus has taken over the globe and converted everyone to vampirism. This is threatening the further existence of mankind. What comes next is Robert’s battle to outlive the vampires. The story picks on elements of the supernatural and horror, but in its core there are some deeper themes that can be contracted from I am Legend. In this essay, I want to focus on the main theme, which is the isolation of Robert towards the new society and its violent inhabitants, that eventually will lead to his alienation and even desolation. A very relevant topic such as Matias Clasen stated: “the horror of isolation is very real and very rational for members of a social species such as ours” (320). The main theme is accentuated by the kind of focalisation that is used by Matheson, which is an internal, fixed focalisation. The reader only sees the events happen through the eyes of…
