First They Killed My Father

is a paradox because I came to the conclusion that the daughter would not exist if she really killed her father because her father would not have been able to have a child. This would have occurred because something happened along the way that did not allow the father to be killed; this event is called a strange coincidence. This idea goes hand in hand with the idea killing my grandfather before he met my grandmother. It all comes down to the contradiction of not being able to exist with a…

A Negative Remembrance The Holocaust was a time in history when many were killed for no reason but pure hatred. Elie Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust, wrote a memoir to express his experiences throughout his horrific journey. The novel Night by Elie Wiesel is a memoir that was written to share Wiesel's personal experiences during the Holocaust. In Night, there are many examples of cruelty through Elie’s many atrocious experiences. These harsh experiences cause the Jews to lose their faith…

The Pecan Man was written by Cassie Dandridge Selleck first published January 1, 2012. It is a work in the genre of Southern fiction. The title of the book is The Pecan Man. I think that the title of the book fits the story because the story tells us about Eldered Mims nicknamed the pecan man. The cover of the book shows us the house of Mrs. Beckworth where most of the action takes place. Ora Lee Beckworth is the narrator of this story that takes place over 25 years of her life. Her husband…

On my attempt on creating an emulation of Kafka’s work, I created a story about a dystopian world, Rodentopia, based on Aesop’s fables and The Giver. In this world, a mouse named Mr.Johnson, has to hear the harsh reality of Rodentopia from authoritative figures also known as “The Four Eldest Rogues”. These Rogues, who are mice themselves, tells Mr.Johnson that his newborn baby is not allowed in Rodentopia, because he is a fox. Through their misinterpretation of Aesop’s fables, they told…

Murray wrote letters everyday, and sent them back home to his family. On his eighty-first birthday, Murray handed his daughter, Karen, a collection of his letters. Karen read all of his letters, and became facinated. Along the way of reading these letters, there were a few ups and downs in the relationship she had with her father. Every letter Karen read, she grasped a new piece of information about her father. She learned more, and more about her father’s experience during war. As she gained…

Crito: My Argument With Socrates I would first like to start my argument with capitulation; for I do not believe that Socrates, at the heart of his argument, was wrong. Although my knowledge of that heart may be false, thus so may my beliefs, I must still put in the effort and play my role as devil’s advocates by trying to convince a long dead man to do something I believe would have been wrong. My first argument with Socrates is whether he ever truly intended to be swayed, or if his mind had…

ignored him and then his dad said, "My son, water . . . I'm burning up . . .", and then the guard say's "Silence over there!" barked the officer (Wiesel 111). The example explains that Elie choose not to give water to his dad because he knew that it was bad for him so he was in a position where he couldn’t do anything because he knew that if he gave water then he didn't wouldn't get…

lesson or simply new vocabulary. We can take two lessons from Hamlet. The first one is that if people let anger and revenge get the best of them, they can cause damage. The second one is in life you will be able to get away with something for long but not forever. We learn these lessons through various actions committed by various characters. Those main characters are the Ghost, Claudius, and Hamlet. The readers are first introduced to the Ghost, old King Hamlet. The guards had spotted the…

This poem was basically about bringing life and of course death is in the poem to emphasise the other side of life. The first part of the poem is already starting negatively. “The fountains are dry and the roses over. Incense of death. Your day approaches”(1-2). Plath says the fountains are dry as a reference to death and when she says the roses over its when roses wilt because…
