Piggy And Simon In The Holocaust

Decent Essays
Piggy and Simon and in the Holocaust events have shown that people are evil and people will take after their superiors. Evil people kill others and purposefully murder one another. Piggy is crushed by a rock ,and Roger is evil because he means to kill Piggy without reasoning. Simon is brutally murdered by a group of savage young boys who stab and tore the heavenly and innocent life out of him. The Holocaust was meant to end the whole Jewish race and allow evil men kill others under a command. These events make humanity evil forever and there is no assumption that any human being is good. Humans are destined to follow their superiors and to be a role model of them which forces oneself to not have their own destiny which is evil.

    William Golding’s child lunatics competing for power and control in the book Lord of the Flies are not as strange as they seem if the book’s publishing date is taken into account. 1954 was nine years after the end of World War Two, a war in which the Western democracies triumphed over the fascist countries of Germany, Italy, and Japan. Golding must have had the recent war in mind when he penned Lord of the Flies . Many of the book’s events and characters correspond to events and people in World War Two and the Holocaust. The three things that stand out most are Jack’s seizure of power, the death of Simon, and the character of Roger.…

    The evidential problem of evil determines the degree of how much evil must be a part of the evidence of God’s existence. While on the other hand the logical problem of evil is seen through our own eyes. It bares the question whether God is a perfect because of all wrong taking place in the world. Through these two problems it is hard to even imagine that God is perfect. Through Richard Swinburne’s theodicy (theodicy - an attempt to defend God's omnibenevolence in the face of evil) , one comes to find the case that initially escapes the evidential and logical problems…

    SIMON WIESENTHAL 1908-2005 At the end of World War II, thousands of Nazis who participated in the systematic murder of some 6,000,000 Jews and millions of Gypsies, Poles and other "inferior" peoples, slipped through the Allied net and escaped to countries around the globe, where many still live in freedom. Simon Wiesenthal, a survivor of the Nazi death camps, dedicated his life to documenting the crimes of the Holocaust and to hunting down the perpetrators still at large. " When history looks back," Wiesenthal explained, "I want people to know the Nazis weren’t able to kill millions of people and get away with it." His work stands as a reminder and a warning for future generations.…

    Humans, out of hate and spite, have repeatedly acted in a harmful manner towards others. The atrocities committed by the Nazis during the Holocaust, however, are arguably one of the worst. They sent Jews en masse to concentration camps, where they would be worked, starved, gassed, and burnt to death. The Nazis were still capable of worse. For example, some of their experimenters, in an attempt to create conjoined twins, stitched children together, who died of gangrene after days of suffering.…

    With this threat, the Lord of the Flies is telling Simon that with the corruption of evil, savagery, and primitivism that the other boys that he named would have something to do with the death of Simon. This is a direct relation to that people are born evil in nature and aren’t born with empathy because the Lord of the Flies is apart of all of us. Simon was killed by the boys just like the Lord of the Flies said, so by the act actually happening the book clearly represents that evilness is human…

    All of the Jews were targeted for death, including the children. The young were not usually selected to perform forced labor, most of the time children were too weak or malnourished to serve any good for the Nazis. Children were thought to be a useless mouth the Nazis had to feed, when older Jews could be fed the children’s food portion for stronger labor. At the height of the Holocaust, Germany was in a war and “in the face of the growing shortage of labor, Jewish manpower was sacrificed” towards the World War II effort. Jewish children could not benefit the Nazis with labor towards the war effort, so this is why the children were the first to be killed.…

    Dehumanization Human beings love to search for the meaning behind everything because once meaning is found, then justification and rationalization can be given. Genocide is a very complex term, but the act of genocide itself is unfathomable. People always want a reason for why presidents or dictators allow genocide to happen, and the only option that can make everything clear is that human evil must have developed. Although human evil provides an explanation, there is something true about human evil.…

    It has been said that the best thing about humanity is humans, and the worst thing about humanity is humans.1 When mankind can be so beautiful yet so horrendous simultaneously, the best way to describe this contradiction is to conclude that humanity is a paradox; a paradox that plays out during the most horrific and the most alluring of times in history.2 During World War II, Hitler and the Holocaust demonstrated the ugly things a human can do, but the thousands of people that aided and supported the Jews, including Germans living under Hitler’s rule, showed how amazing and selfless a human can be as well. World War II left a permanent scar on mankind, but for many, it also changed the future for the better.3 The literature produced about…
