The Room On The Western Front By Paul Rusesabagina
This Article tells an important story. A story, which is about a hotel manager who faces these challenges that no ordinary man would ever think he would have to face. An ordinary man, living an ordinary life, with his ordinary family. In the beginning of the story Paul starts out stating his name and his occupation just as n ordinary man would do. "My name is Paul Rusesabagina. I am a hotel manager." Then out of the blue, an attack happens. Suddenly Hutu`s are safe and Tutsis are not. This outbreak of raging Hutu`s causes a major problem for this ordinary hotel manager and he suddenly has to become a strong leader and protect his hotel. This hotel does not just occupy Hutu`s, Tutsis stay there too. When the Hutu militia and army comes to kill all of the Tutsis in the hotel, the Hutu manager finds a way to save and keep everyone living in his hotel at the time (approximately 1,268).

In the passage it states, "When the militia and the army came with orders to kill my guests, I took them in my office, treated them like friends, offered them beer and cognac, and then persuaded them to neglect their task that day." Paul Rusesabagina (hotel manager) treated each and every single person who stayed in his hotel the same.
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. I'll start with how Paul kept 1,268 people in his hotel and no one was hurt or killed. "None of the refugees in my hotel were
killed. Nobody was beaten. Nobody was taken away and made to disappear. People were being hacked to death with machetes all over Rwanda, but that five story building became a refuge for anyone who could make it to our doors." Paul Resesabagina was no the ordinary man you see on the streets. He did not punch nor hurt anyone but his words pleaded for mercy and he stood brave to keep everyone safe, I admire him for that.
