What about dessert? Everyone loves to have a sweet treat after eating dinner, if they are not already full. Typically, it is expected in the American culture to eat dinner first, which typically consists of a meat and two sides. Then after finishing dinner, they will conclude the meal by eating dessert.

shredding victims, like Jean Améry and all other “drowned souls” of hope. Originally named Hans Maier, Jean Améry’s essay Torture narrates the harsh torture withstood during his time in Fort Breendonk; a notorious Gestapo prison between Antwerp and Brussels. But upon his “liberation” in 1945, his trauma remained; causing him to commit suicide in 1978 (Langer 119-120). At this point, it is easy to see how Améry’s style of writing is similar to Primo Levi; both have written personal accounts…
