Both Levi’s essay The Gray Zone and Spiegelman’s two installments of Maus bring forth unique and intriguing perspectives about the unfathomable experiences of Holocaust experiences. These works allow the reader to examine the mental framework of both victims and…

1. The article’s main ideas The author, David Simchi-Levi, contends that the current economic slowdown in China is partly due to a change in the global supply chain strategies of American and European manufacturing companies. The author uses a series of separate surveys conducted by different organisations to show that the practice of producing closer to the consumer, or “near-shoring”, is resulting in a decline in manufacturing activity in China. He suggests that global companies are moving…

perhaps, the most foundational and important relationship that any human will ever have, and as such many literary works over the centuries have examined this relationship. The two poems, “First Thanksgiving,” by Sharon Olds and “Winter Stars,” by Larry Levis are examples of two different ways that such a literary work can be done.

Primo Levi has a view that humans have a complex relationship with the earth. In his writing he portrays the awareness of humans place on earth. In order to be a scientist, one has to cultivate between predictability (mechanistic philosophy) and the earth being alive (Gaia-hypothesis). Without predictability, one would not have any knowledge on anything; if the world was pure randomness, there would be no meaning to anything and nothing would matter. The Gaia-hypothesis enables us, humans, to…

legal system is a rampant issue through society, so people, such as poet Larry Levis, spread awareness of this issue using literature as an outlet. In his poem “Make a Law So That the Spine Remembers Wings”, Levis employs allusions, sound devices, and personification to establish the corresponding theme that the justice system is not benefitting people of color, as it is targeting them further. To construct his poem, Levis utilizes allusions to connect the ideas of race and law enforcement.…

At three in the morning on Monday, Levi raps on the door of the Jaeger household. The fact that it’s Monday is incidental; the fact that it’s the Jaeger household is not. He’s secretly hoping for a glimpse of messy brown hair and too-trusting green eyes, and when he hears the lock being turned he sees that his wish has been granted. “Hey,” he says, his voice cracking halfway through. Eren’s lips part on an unspoken word, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly on his forehead. He holds the door open…

During their work, Jean, the Pikolo of their Kommando, comes down and requests that Levi go with him to pick up soup. As they take the long way to the soup kitchen, Levi decides that he genuinely wants to teach Jean Italian. With only a limited amount of time, he begins to recite the Canto of Ulysses from Dante’s Inferno. Although the passages are becoming unrecognizable, Levi is determined to share with Jean the sudden urgency he feels to tell the story. In a particular section…

The poem that Levi wrote in the very beginning of the book is very clearly about the struggles that every man and every woman faced every day in the concentration camps. The poem is about the struggles Levi himself had to face while at the camp. In the first stanza, Levi describes the reader who lives safe in warm houses with hot food and friendly faces. The second stanza, he describes just a few struggles the men and women prisoners of concentration camps had to go through, including working in…
