Wiesenthal, Simon. The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness. New York: Schocken, 1976. The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness is a book written by Simon Wiesenthal. Simon Wiesenthal was an Austrian Nazi hunter and writer, he was also a Jewish Austrian Holocaust survivor. As I looked through the library this book caught my eye, I believe the sunflowers on the front cover are the reason behind it. Then, as I read the front cover the words pulled me in…

action throughout history, allowing two or more people to move on from a wrongdoing. After someone has been wronged, forgiveness is the act of releasing the negative feelings one harbors towards the offender. When Simon Wiesenthal, author of The Sunflower, was in a concentration camp during World War II, a Nazi on his deathbed had Wiesenthal brought into his hospital room to act as his confessor. The Nazi, Karl, told Wiesenthal of the atrocities he committed against the Jews and asks for his…

not cause life or long lasting effects. However, in the case of a major offense such as taking the life of an innocent individual, one cannot be forgiven on any level. The act of taking away a person’s life is ultimate and cannot be undone. In The Sunflower, Simon Wiesenthal demonstrates the essence of forgiveness through a situation as a holocaust survivor. Simon faced a situation where he met a SS soldier, Karl who was facing death and asked Simon for forgiveness due to a guilty conscious.…

In the excerpt from Simon Wiesenthal's The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness Karl asks Simon for forgiveness. Simon got up and left the room without saying anything to karl, but He still forgave him by going and talking to Karls mother as mentioned by Arthur Hertzberg. Simon didnt go tell his mother about all the horrible things he did to the Jews instead he talked to her about how as he was dying he asked for forgiveness. In my opinion that shows Simon forgiving him.…

a person cannot expect to be forgiven by God if that person does not forgive others. When it comes to forgiving those that I love, I do not have a difficult time forgiving them, and this is probably because I love them so much. In his book, The Sunflower, author, Simon Wiesenthal is faced with an SS soldier who asks forgiveness for a horrific crime. Simon was unable to forgive the man; and I too would find it very hard to forgive a Nazi soldier if I were in Wiesenthal’s shoes--how can one…

Some may say that a sunflower is simply a sunflower. Some may say that a black t-shirt worn by the boy in class is simply just a plain black t-shirt, yet there is so much more to these items than there seems. The sunflower can be the essence of life, representing longevity and the importance of happiness, and the black t-shirt can really represent the feeling of sorrow and being an outcast in the midst of a conformed society. With many items there is more to them than meets the eye; they have…

My grandma always said I was the Pied Piper of Sunflower Dr. I would come down fresh off the bus or bright and early in the morning. Riding down on my Mongoose bike to go meet my friends off the bus.

You can get food and have a great time. But you can be there too much, especially when you live only a…
