The Faceless

misconceptions from earlier were clearly proved wrong as more horrible acts happened each day. Broken promises made by Jews who thought the next experience would not be as bad as the first was seen as a sham by Wiesel’s “faceless neighbor” (80) in the hospital. The idea of his neighbor being faceless is figurative in that the singular man in the hospital is supposed to represent what all of the Jews are feeling about Hitler keeping his promises and that he was actually damaged physically somehow…

fast when you’re having fun. After a few months of working, I could name every student and something unique about them. As a student, I feel like I don’t have a good connection with my teachers since I assumed that I wasn’t anything more than just a faceless student. With this in mind, I try to get to know the kids at Kumon. From the students’ stories, it seems that most of these kids are forced to come here by their parents who might be more invested in their academics than their personality.…

From the comfort of our lives, we neglect the homeless community around us. People on the streets in downtowns often disappear into the scenery as we walk past them in our busy lives. As a collection of Interact Clubs, Area 6 attempts to help through our annual Holiday of Hope. As an increasingly active member in this service organization, I collaborated with students from five other high schools to put on Holiday of Hope, an event in which club members assemble care packages and deliver them…

move, these faceless people go about their business with silent indifference, held within an elaborate grid of vertical and horizontal rectangle entrance/exit ways (Baal-Teshuva 30). The green door on the left, cream and green steel posts, ceiling beams, blank walls and a jail like pattern of blue iron bars gives this painting an eerie feeling. The architecture is made to dominate the people. The station is labeled with N’s, but most of the people are painted expressionless and faceless…

than happening truth, here is why. “Here is happening-truth. I was once a soldier. There were many bodies, real bodies with real faces, but I was young and I was afraid to look. And now, twenty two years later, I am left with a faceless responsibility and faceless grief” (O’Brien 180). Happening truth is boring and points out facts. It shows more of how he felt rather than what he saw instead of using a little bit of both. “Here is story-truth. He was a slim, dead, almost dainty young man…

Daniel Huffman Camille Mustachio ENG 111- F19 16 November 2014 Identity: A Soldier’s Search Upon entering into the Vietnam War, the young men who were drafted, or volunteered, found themselves in a brother-hood of like-minded soldiers who arrived in Vietnam as trained killers, but who had never before taken a life, and left as broken men that had more questions than answers. They lived together, learned together, killed together, and for some, like Philip Caputo, faced death together, in a way…

potential to destroy one's hope, just as Clifton's hope in the Brotherhood was killed. By "plunging outside history," Clifton rejects the Brotherhood's ideology and denies the organization's importance to history. In becoming another man in "the void of faceless faces, of soundless voices, lying outside history," Clifton manifests the futility of trying to change history (Ellison 439). The narrator recognizes the possibility, contrary to the beliefs of the Brotherhood, that history cannot be…

Almost at the very beginning of the book, Tom Buchanan introduces Nick to Myrtle, his mistress who lives in the Valley of Ashes. As he takes in his surroundings in the impoverished strip, Nick notices a billboard of a faceless image of the bespectacled eyes of Doctor. T.J Eckleburg, a retired optometrist. These eyes represent many things at the same time. They are a representation of the eyes of God staring down on and judging the decaying morals of society. After World War One, people were…

Early in 2015, Darius Fisher, president and co-founder of Status Labs, was faced with a reputation crisis. This is ironic because Fisher has made his company into an expert in online reputation management. Status Labs suffered negative press that quickly grew into a national media story because of the controversial actions of a (former) executive. Those actions pulled in real hatred for the company from the press, because Status Labs didn't really have a public human presence. It's easy to blame…

Imaginary friends are a part of any childhood, whether its toys or dolls coming to life through a child’s imagination or a completely made up character that only that child can see. But there comes a time when the child grows into adolescence and the hardest part about growing up is knowing when to let go of childish things. That's especially true for imaginary friends. Kate Tsang's, "So You've Grown Attached" is a touching take on when growing up and letting go become necessary but at the…
