Even though they were out of the war zone‚ when they found out that the other group of boys was on the RUF side they started a fight. Without asking any questions they got out there Bayonet out‚ grenades and what not else they had. 6 people were killed that day and they hadn’t even been fighting that long yet. It took me by surprise to see the reaction of these kids and that right away without hesitating they started shooting‚ cutting and trying to kill each other. Right away you can see the extreme

Commentary on “Night of the Scorpion” by Nissim Ezequiel The poem “Night of the Scorpion” by Nissim Ezekiel is an account of how the poet remembers his mother being stung by a scorpion when he was young.

of comparison is used a lot in this poem. Owen explores the monstrosity of war in various examples of comparison. The boys "die as cattle‚" this conveys the idea that the young men going to war is the same as cattle going to a slaughter house to be killed. With no real purpose but to be mindlessly massacred. Through personification‚ the guns responsible for taking so much human life are made out to be monstrous‚ even evil. The poem also likens their deaths to a funeral‚ but one where the bells are

I think a little background on this is necessary before continuing on my broader analysis. The program is a weekly podcast which focuses on one particular narrative.

I know that a lot of people say that George should have killed Lennie‚ but I think that George should have not killed Lennie.

Why don’t people recognize that today? Obviously because he killed 11 million people and many don’t want to remember that dark time period. In this time period many people did not know what Hitler’s plan was and what he was going to do. He influenced them in many ways‚ and one big way was his speaking. Hitler gave
