What we say can stick in the minds of others and impact them in ways we cannot foresee. Whether those comments are positive or negative, they show who you are as a person and what can become of you. Like many of our parents’ and those older in age have taught us, “If you do not have anything nice to say do not say anything at all.” When Toni Morrison said "Oppressive language does more than represent violence; it is violence.

Auschwitz was a pretty expansive camp, but the author describes the scene like he knew it like the back of his hand.

When you are taken in under one of the leader’s wings, it is almost necessary to understand everything about the camp itself So far, this book is a definite page turner.…

Nazi party took the racial theory as a foundation for imperialist expansion, while German expansion required the force of arms and enormous sacrifices and money, racial theory became a strong ideology to justify this huge effort.

First, Anja suffers from post pardon depression when she has her child. Through this, Anja loses her sense of self and has difficulties finding herself within her new role.…
manages, quite against the odds, to humanize Hitler by re-imagining him as an "average" child from the perspective of ordinary late-nineteenth-century Aus trians. To achieve this, Szymborska utilizes simplistic diction, or the "baby talk" associated with doting mothers ("Precious little angel, mommy's sunshine, honey bun" [11]), coupled with an appeal to bourgeois fantasies of self-determination and social advancement: "Where will those tootsy-wootsies finally wander? / To a garden, to a school…
