Afghans center their life on their culture, family, and friends so it is not easy for them to leave their homeland. In the New York Times Op-Docs series “Afghanistan by Choice,” the film director, Alexandria Bombach, appeals to pathos through the juxtaposition of settings and individuals. Her emphasis on pathos conveys the difficulty of leaving one’s country, thus abandoning his or her lifestyle; furthermore, the film director hopes to show the audience why leaving is such a hard decision for Afghans to make.…

    Journal 1: Marie-Laure and Walter Pfenning are relatively close in age, and are on opposite ends of the nazi war. The story tells the story from both perspectives, from two children from the same the same town which makes this an interesting read. Werner reminds me of my sister because I would remember she was obviously more literate and she could figure out problems or come up with ideas faster than I could, and I, like Werner’s brothers, I would just play along and ask lots of naive questions. After reading the chapter where there is a flashback to Werner's childhood, when he is eight, I automatically compared him to the kids I babysit, whatever they hear, or see, they think is true and don't question it because they don’t have the knowledge to. Marie-Laure is like a loyal colonel , she gets knocked down, quite literally, but also figuratively life knocks Marie-Laure down; yet she never backs down from a challenge.…

    In an interview, author of A Long Way Gone and former child soldier Ishmael Beah said “Everyone is capable of going beyond their own humanity and doing certain things that are not humane” (Beah). In A Long Way Gone the events that occur in young Beah’s life force him to commit acts that many believe they never could do no matter the circumstance. Beah believes that in a certain situation anyone can be forced into making choices that may look like a lack of humanity. He says that “People if they have been touched by war or conflicts that make them be a part of, participate in committing atrocities would be victims of it” and that “this is also part of human nature if you’re in that circumstance you would act that way as well so it’s not just specific, particular to who live in Africa or people who live in Asia who do these things” (Beah).…

    DeLillo uses literary techniques such as imagery, point of view, mood, and repetition to suggest humanity has become so desensitized to murder, it begins to intrigue us. The imagery DeLillo uses in this piece supports the argument that humans have become insensitive to tragedy. After the man is shot, DeLillo says; “You don’t see the blood, which is probably trickling behind his ear and down the back of his neck” (DeLillo 62).…

    Since almost everyone is desensitized, more detail is always better and most of the times, too much detail is not enough detail. Moreover, the passage also includes, “The way the camera reacts to the gunshot a startle reaction that brings pity and terror into the frame”. The use of the word “pity” here is smart and can be confusing. It is confusing in that the reader may not be able to figure out who he/she should feel pity for and it is smart as pity adds to the disturbing effect thus making it less “stripped” as he previously states.…

Even though lives were both lost and tortured in these tragic events, each event experienced different ways in which it tortured and killed people inhumanely. During the Holocaust the Nazi’s would torture and kill Jews in what were called concentration camps. Auschwitz, one of the biggest concentration camp, which was actually a combination of three different types of camps located in Poland.…
