    When an Ordinary Object Becomes an Extraordinary “Thing” To most people the rocking chair is just that; a chair that you can rock in. To myself and so many others‚ the rocking chair is so much more. The rocking chair takes on human characteristics‚ it has two arms and it has a seat in which you can become one with the chair. The rocking chair is by far one of the best ways to soothe an irritable infant or bring peace and comfort to an adult. My rocking chair may seem like an ordinary one‚ the

    "There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are faced to deal with" (William Halsey). The same can be said about volatile men. This is the quote Christopher R. Browning thought of when he named this book. The men of the 101st battalion were rarely faced with decisions. Even if it had been proposed by Trapp the morning of Jozefow that "any of the older men who did not feel up to the task that lay before them could step out" (Browning‚ chapter 7‚ pg. 57)‚ he

    pm. April 30‚ 2011 Assignment: What is an Ordinary Life? Word Count: 571 What is an Ordinary Life? To examine what constitutes an ordinary life‚ one must first consider the meaning of the word ordinary. The Funk and Wagnall’s Standard College Dictionary defines ordinary as “of common or everyday occurrence”. That same dictionary defines life as “a form of existence”. Taking these words at their literal meaning would thusly define an ordinary life as common day to day existence. The question

    The arguments that Christopher Browning emphasizes in Ordinary Men are based on his beliefs about the Holocaust. His argument touches base on the idea that regular citizens of Germany could commit such horrible acts without being coerced into doing so. He examines the side of the Reserve Police Battalion 101 and tries to figure out just why these gentlemen participated in the mass shootings and deportations of the Holocaust. In fact should these "gentlemen" even be called gentlemen enlight of

    Ordinary People Essay “Good literature substitutes for an experience which we‚ ourselves‚ have not yet experienced.” Even though you don’t experience things in real life you can still learn from the things you read. I agree with this quote because people don’t have to go through life experiences in order to understand what they read. When you read a book you can learn from it without going through the exact situation as the characters go through. In the book Ordinary People written by

    If one were to take anything from Christopher Browning’s Ordinary Men it is that even the most ordinary‚ normal men have the capacity to kill. The 101st Reserve Police Battalion executed at least 6‚500 Jews at the Polish cities and villages of Jozefow‚ Lomazy‚ Serokomla‚ Lukow‚ Konskowola‚ Parczew‚ Radzyn‚ Kock‚ and Miedzyrzec and participated in the deportation of at least 42‚000 Jews to the gas chambers in Treblinka (Browning‚ chapter 14‚ page 121).
