US North Korea
If I were to make a guess on why the US wants to stop sending high-ranking officials over to rescue American prisoners in North Korea it would be because they don’t want the high-ranking officials to be captured and put into prison. The Koreans haven’t done it yet to officials that have gone over but they might decide to. Another reason I think would be that the United States is going to stop talking and interacting with the Koreans because they are our enemies.
Do I agree with the US government‘s desire to stop rescuing prisoners from Korea. I think it depends on who the prisoner is. If they are a ranking official or someone important than I think we should go and rescue them but like in the article we should try to make a deal with the Koreans. A way we could prevent them from capturing US citizens is to stop sending them over there. If we didn’t send anyone to North Korea then they wouldn’t get captured and it would save everyone the trouble of trying to get them back.
Based on the clues from the article, I believe that Bae was forced to make the video. I believe this because he admitted that he had violated the North Korean laws. I think that he was held against his will and forced to say some of the things he said so that the North Korean government could have something to use against the US government to try and get them to come to North Korea.

    The heart breaking punishment and imprisonment that people in the North Korean prison camps are suffering is the most inhumane thing we have seen since Hitler tried to annihilate the entire Jewish race. Also, this is similar to when the white race tried whipping every last breathe out of the African American population during slavery in the antebellum South. Camp 14, as well as all prison camps, must be stopped for good as it is very similar to slavery in the antebellum South that happened long ago.…

    Very few defense analysts question the need to keep substantial U.S. forces based in South Korea to deter North Korea from invading or attacking its southern neighbor. Instead, their concerns relate to four main issues: the condition and location of U.S. bases in South Korea, the instability in Army units that results partly from supporting large numbers of one year tours in South Korea, the quality of life of soldiers assigned to those tours, and whether Army units based in South Korea should be made more available to respond to conflicts elsewhere in the…

    We look at , “… despite tensions between Pyongyang and Beijing, their ally China will probably protect them from harsher UN Security Council sanctions even if they conduct another provocation ” (Everard). What John is trying to say is that, even if Pyongyang is having tension with Beijing if something were to happen to them, China will step in and protect them. The writer uses appeal to authority to China, showing how it is still in higher power even if they are involved in their own issues, but are still able to step in a help their small provinces. Then he continues his opEd with ,“ By the time the new president is inaugurated, North Korea may feel strong enough to demand that he or she sign a peace treaty with it (technically the Korean War never ended) and agree to halt the annual US-South Korean military exercises -- that is, that the United States caves in to North Korean demands” (Everard). In this quote, it clearly states the North Korean government wants to sign a peace treaty thus they might stop their experiments with nuclear programs. This seen as a cause and effect because the start of the situation was US trying to…

    When it came to China deciding to support North Korea, they made this choice because of the shared hatred for the enemy of North Korea (Yufan, Zhihai 94). In addition, this decision by China, also stems back to 1949 when Chairman Mao delivered a speech exclaiming how he is denouncing the United States as an imperialistic power seeking to dominate China, and with that he said China would now lean toward the side of the Soviet Union (Yufan, Zhihai 97). The Chinese Communist party did not want any more possibilities of United States ideals spreading into China, thus the reason for the Chinese leaning toward the Soviets. With that said, the Soviets joining North Korea is what made the Chinese join North Korea as well. In the aid of North Korea,…

    At some point everyone has heard of torture. It could have been in a movie or on the news, but they have heard of it. In this day and age, people would like to have believed it was all behind us in the past. Then 9/11 happened, everyone’s lives were changed with one simple act of cruelty. Before 9/11 hit the U.S. in a wave of pain, panic, and anger, our viewpoints on torture would probably have been less likely that it should be allowed. The decision to torture people who are suspected of being part of terrorist groups has always been decided by the government, for the simple reason that it is required to keep us safe from harm. Some people believe that torture is cruel, unsightly and just inhumane. On the other hand there are people who see it the same way but also believe it could be necessary in extreme circumstances. We’re going to look at two different points of torture: When it is acceptable and when it is not acceptable.…

    As an ambassador to another country, I feel that trying to get a US citizen released from prison in North Korea would prove to be most difficult. I believe that with the past history, with their aggressiveness and hostility towards the United States and other countries, would make the negotiation process extremely difficult. Not only have that, but to reiterate, North Korea’s unwillingness to work with other countries, no matter what the situation’s circumstances may be. North Korea has used the threat of nuclear weaponry to strike fear into other nation’s minds. North Korea additionally has a completely different style of government than the US. North Korea is governed by a dictatorship, were the United States operates under the umbrella of democracy. I believe those two styles of government have completely different views, additionally, making it difficult to find common ground.…

    The poem’s title ‘America’ presents the complications of McKay as a Jamaican immigrant living in America. The poem is a sonnet written in iambic pentameter consisting of three quatrains and a concluding couplet. In the first quatrain he introduces how oppressive America is to him while simultaneously expressing how he loves it. McKay personifies America as a mother: “Although she feeds me bread of bitterness, /And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,/Stealing my breath of life, I will confess” (1-3). Mothers have a connotation of being in charge, as they are the guardians of all their children. His personification of America as a mother helps demonstrate how powerful America is and helps the reader understand the capabilities of its cruelty. The feeding of the “bread of bitterness” is used as a metaphor to demonstrate how harsh America is to McKay. If one is to imagine a tiger’s tooth being shoved in his or her throat, or perhaps one’s life force slowly being extracted, it would feel very painful and impossible to breathe. McKay also uses these as analogies to…
