    What was the short-term significance of The Night of the Long Knives? The Night of the Long Knives was significant because it marked a turning point in the Third Reich; as the first publicised official government purge, it signalled the types of activities for which they would later be primarily known. Its name was coined by Hitler, alluding to a popular German song about revenge, which captured the direction in which he wanted to push his particular version of events as part of Nazi propaganda. Hitler 's speech proved the Night of the Long Knives ' short-term significance by confirming his unmatched power; his contempt for traditional law evidenced the fact that he was above all authority. The origin of the source is a nationally broadcasted…

    Being as short and quiet as I was, everyone easily pushed past me. Thus, I found myself at the end of the line. I stood there twirling a strand of copper-red hair near my ear that never stays in a ponytail. The clatter of knives and erasers scraping the metal sides of the cart filled my ears. Once almost everyone had strolled off with their prizes, I peered into the cart. The picked-over supplies abandoned on the cart were either dull knives or broken erasers. I stared at my options for a second…

    expressing their respects and insistence on the spread of sushi traditions, probably it’s more expensive considering the extra efforts and time consuming, but it’s definitely not a high-end artistic experience for the rich people. In the very beginning, Sugiyama verbally emphasizes twice on how he values the craftsmanship process more than the elegant result. He said, “we try not to make unnecessary moves,” which is the contrary of an artistic experience. Nozaki, the knife maker, introduces the…

    Hi, this is Charlotte, and here is my podcast on my understanding of the stylistic traits of Post-Modernism. For evidence I've chosen the short stories "Song" by Annabelle Lyon and "19 Knives" by Mark Anthony Jarman, along with the podcast "Everything is a Remix", done by Kirby Ferguson. So boiled down, I feel Post-Modernism pushes you to question your trust, both in the narrator and society. First of all, the writers tend to pick a storyline which does not revolve around order, nor come to a…

    significance of the Night of the Long Knives became even more apparent given Hitler's smooth takeover of full official leadership when Hindenburg died. A newspaper source describes how within hours, Hitler "hastened back to Berlin to declare the following law: The office of President will be combined with that of Chancellor. The existing authority of the Reich President will be transferred to the Führer, Adolf Hitler 16." Being of a reflective style rather than a purely factual article, its…

    I viewed the Netflix Documentary Forks over Knives Tuesday after noon from 11:55-12;10 ate lunch which consisted of meat and then resumed playing at 12:53-2:30. The Forks over Knives documentary heavily tries to per sway viewers to change their diets from an animal protein based diet to an all plant product diet. I heavily disagree with this idea and feel that meats in moderation or regulated amounts can be healthy. If you choose to have the meats grilled and not fried that would be a healthier…
