    Hotel Rwanda Analysis

    Rwanda experienced the most extensive slaughter, a most evil moral crime, committed by the ruling Hutu government in this blood-filled century. The movie revolves around the protagonist Paul Rusesabagina, a house manager of a four star Hotel Milles Collines, who experienced this slaughter and acted as a superhero by sheltering more than 1100 Tutsis and Rwandans and saved their lives from the Hutu militia. The movie illustrates that there was an old historical conflict between two ethnic groups Hutus and Tutus, which planted the seeds of civil war which then molded into a massive genocide. There are a couple of scenes in the film, which shows the brief historical tribal background and the reasons of the genocide. As depicted in the opening of the film, a scene shows a conversation between a foreign journalist Jack Daglish and a local Rwandan journalist Bendict. On asking the difference between Hutus and Tutsi and the reason of their conflict, Bendict replied that Belgians were responsible for this conflict. He says, “According to the Belgian colonists, the Tutsi are taller and more elegant. It was the Belgians that created the division. They picked people, those with thinner noses lighter skins [Tutus]. The Belgians used the Tutsis to run the…

    Christopher Columbus: a Thousand Splendid Suns

    During the Rwandan genocide the will to survive of the Tutsis causes them to survive against the insurgent majority Hutu’s. After many deaths and endless torture the Tutsis, an African ethnicity in Rwanda, are seeking a safe haven in this time of genocide and will go to anyone for help just so they can survive. One person in particular Rusesabagina, a Hutu hotel manager married to a Tutsis, risks everything to help others. Lovegren, the author of this article, reveals that Rusesabagina does just that in his article about the hotel “Deserted by international Peacekeepers Rusesabagina began cashing in every favor he had ever earned, bribing the Rwandan Hutu soldiers and keeping the bloodthirsty militia outside the gates during the hundred days of slaughter.(Lovgren)” Being a Hutu hotel manager in Rwanda and harboring Tutsi fugitives including his wife and children is a death wish considering that the Hutu rebels will gladly kill everyone. Rusesabagina, the hotel manager, will do anything to keep his family and the innocent people living in his hotel alive. The Tutsis and himself both strive for survival. Likewise Valentina is a Tutsi girl who saw her parents and loved ones die at the feet of the dispassionate Hutus, leaving her with nothing but dead corpse’s, a broken body, and no shelter or food. Hundreds of Tutsi fugitives gathered around in a church that one day, one of them happened to be Valentina and her family. Her family was slaughtered but Valentina…

    The Room On The Western Front By Paul Rusesabagina

    No matter if they were Hutu` or Tutsi. In the text it states, "Most of the people hiding in my hotel were Tutsis, descendants of what had once been ruling class of Rwanda. " I think in a way it wouldn't be fair for him to judge the Tutsis because his wife was one, and his kids were half, "You might say the divide also lives in me. I am the son of a Hutu farmer and his Tutsi wife. " To me, this story is remarkable in various ways.…

    Peter Brownrigg Character Analysis

    Peter selflessly chooses to leave his home to protect his neighbors from Ssir Phillips wrath. When his father mentions the questioning that would occur if he was caught, Peter admits “I knew I should blurt out the names of every man and boy who’d been there that night. There was nothing for it but to clear out”(30). He has no place to go, only 50 shillings, and will be leaving his family behind without a chance to say farewell to his brothers. Peter does all this to protect the identity of the other equally guilty men who broke down Ssir Phillips infamous wall. He also consistently puts Kit’s safety before his own, no matter the consequences. This is evident when Trease writes, “‘Ride on!’ I bawled, before my captor extinguished me with a foul hand across my mouth”(Trease 253). Without her help his demise is almost certain, yet he would rather ensure her safety than take the chance that she could free him. This is a very selfless act that would not even occur to most people as an option. Another thing Peter’s selfless nature allows him to do that many others could not, is the way he risks his life for his country. Peter knows the death of Queen Elizabeth would cause a massive uprising resulting in hundreds of casualties. So although he has no obligation to risk his life he did it without a second thought since saving the queen was for the greater good of his…

    Ambiguous Media In Hotel Rwanda

    When the reporter returns from his risky venture of filming the murders, Paul thanks him for doing so. He says it is the only way the rest of the world will be influenced to intervene. The reporter responds to this with the idea that people will see the footage on TV, say "that's horrible", and continue eating their dinners. Sadly, this proves to be true. Telephones, on the other hand, are a very helpful source of media in the film. Telephones save, or at least prolong, many lives. For instance, when Paul is first confronted by the Hutu army at the hotel he calls the hotel president, who in turn calls the French president, who immediately contacts the Hutu army commanding them to leave the hotel alone for the time being. Another example of this occurs when Paul delivers the worst news of all to the refugees; which is that absolutely nobody will help them. He then tells them to call every influential person they know. He tells them to "reach through the phone" so that they can hold their hand. He tells them they need to let them know that if they let go of their hand, they will die. He says they need to shame them in to helping. These calls ‘pay off' when several of the refugees are handed exit visas by the UN. However on they're trip out of the ‘danger zone' they are stopped by Hutu extremists. This happens because Paul's lazy co-worker ‘ratted' them out, and the important part is how quickly…

    The Wild Children

    Peter is the leader of Jacob the Baker’s band. Who sought refuge and food not only for himself but also for the rest of the wild children whom he considered his family. His leadership over his band reflects the authority that is shown by a father over his family. An authority of love, concern, and discipline yet with rules and laws to follow in order to maintain equality within. “Peter’s rules demanded...to perform bodily functions” (Holman46) in order for them to keep peace and camaraderie within. He made sets of laws to divide among the children in order to function and survive as a band, just like a family. Although his character is focused on being a father figure over the band, he does not only show compassion over his band but also towards the other wild children he does not even know. He refused the chance to escape Russia but instead came “back for the others in the family” (148). Peter came back not because he needed to but rather because he knew what it is like to be left in the midst of a hopeless society. He sought opportunity to serve other children like him and because he also felt the band the wild children all shared together-…

    Tutsis In Rwanda Genocide

    In just 100 days in 1944 over 800,000 tutsis were killed in the Rwandan genocide. That is a horrible and shocking fact, but the worst fact is that no one stepped in to help them. From 1922 to 1962 Belgium came and took Rwanda over. There were two different kinds of people in Rwanda, the Hutus and the Tutsis. The Hutus made up about 85% of Rwanda while the Tutsi was a minority making up only about 14%. Despite being a minority Belgium favored the Tutsi people because of their longer noses and brighter skin, they thought they looked more European. Belgium gave the Tutsis power to control the Hutus, kind of like in the Holocaust how they had Kappos. They were called the Tutsi Elites. The Tutsis treated the Hutus like they were nothing and always…

    Legalization Of Physician Assisted Suicide

    Physician-assisted suicide is the act of a physician prescribing a drug to a patient which the patient is able to take on his or her own without the assistance of a medical provider or another person. This drug generally results in unconsciousness within five minutes and death within thirty minutes. Physician-assisted suicide became legal in the state of Oregon on October 27, 1997. From the date of legalization through December 31, 2000, there have been seventy reported cases of people utilizing the law to end their lives. The debate over physician-assisted suicide has never been a simple one. In 48 states the practice remains illegal and the issue has only grown more complicated in recent years.

    At the beginning of Peter’s walk he knew nothing about America. For example, he thought Alabama was full of a bunch of hillbillies who were uneducated and racist people. It turns out he absolutely loved Alabama. He loved it so much he wrote on his map “TAA”, which meant “Totally Amazed by Alabama.” He was also amazed by the governor of Alabama. Governor George was just a common man in Alabama. He didn’t want good treatment just because he is the governor. Peter loved that about him. “Governor Wallace, I used to think this state and the whole south was by far the worst place on earth.” Peter was proven wrong.…
