Cold‚ wet‚ exhausted‚ I screamed out hoping somebody was close‚ but the screams were probably hopeless over the thundering water. Klaus gave up the struggle to free himself and fell motionless pushed against the greened steel bars with the water overrunning his body‚ his eyes showing his fear before he went out of consciousness‚ still wide open and glazed over. I still needed to find a way out as I struggled to find grip on the moss topped concrete growing in the moist and dim space. Debri continued

raised many personal questions. These questions vary from the seriousness of an evil act or whether or not it should be considered evil. For example‚ during class we’ve discussed stupid evil. Personally I don’t believe stupid evil is true evil at all. Lars Svendsen’s four categories of evil consist of demonic‚ instrumental‚ idealistic‚ and stupid evil. My belief is Svenden’s four categories of evil should be just three‚ in thus so removing stupid evil from the list. In removing stupid evil from the four

Film Reflection In the “Diving Bell and the Butterfly” 1‚ the incident where I felt the most unease was when Jean-Dominique Bauby’s right eye was stitched closed by his doctor. The scene opens with a close-up shot of the doctor examining and commenting on the condition of Bauby’s eyes. I watched in disbelief as the doctor immediately told Bauby he was going to sew up his right eye without explaining the procedure. The doctor states that this will save Bauby’s “cornea from going septic”2. Perhaps

The Holocaust of Lars Andemening and Cynthia Ozick There is a glorious ambiguity to Cynthia Ozick’s The Messiah of Stockholm‚ one that naturally encourages a variety of interpretations and understandings. It’s a text that at once is about religion‚ literature‚ the Holocaust‚ identity‚ and more – something worthy of a comprehensive overhaul and a critical eye. Cynthia Ozick uses Lars’ psychological shifts and precarious mental state to speak to a variety of elements; but she does this in a way that

She folded her hands in her lap and cleared her throat awkwardly. When she spoke‚ her voice was formal‚ words stilted. “Thank you‚ Gilbert. For listening to my tales of woe with such patience and understanding‚ and‚ um…” Anne couldn’t bring herself to put into words all that had occurred between them within the last hour‚ so she simply skipped over it and continued. “…and escorting me home—well‚ partially home‚ to be particular about it‚ but I guess that doesn’t exactly matter does it—” Her anxious
