    The Colonel by Carolyn Forché is told from the perspective of a person visiting a governor, the Colonel, during a time of strife in a province or country. Presumably, the protagonist had come to negotiate some form of peace and rights for the people and is met with the Colonel’s collection of ears as a token of hostility. The story begins very calm and slow; however, it later escalates to a more suspenseful turn of events. Carolyn Forché creates her energy from the tension build-up, the shock value, and the pace she utilizes in her story. Toward the beginning of the tale, Forché describes the Colonel’s home. It is fairly odd as “broken bottles were embedded in the walls around the house to scoop the kneecaps from a man’s legs or cut his hands to lace” and “on the windows there were gratings like those in liquor stores” (Forché). No normal person has a house like the Colonel’s home and the appearance helped me compare it to my own home and what I consider commonplace. When Forché described the house in that approach, not only did I feel inclined to read more but also inspired to discover the reason for all the defenses around the house. Forché hooked the reader with the odd, dangerous household and spurred questions for the reader, pulling their interest into the story. The pace of the story was another aspect that caught my attention. Forché presents the beginning well and sets the scene peacefully, describing the normal day actions of the household and the good time the…

    Justice for the 96 A cliché often heard in history classes is that “history is written by the victors.” This notion that the truth behind historical events is influenced by those left to record them is one that is emphasized on events in the more distant past. Events that occurred more recently are less often given this scrutiny, and many times the first version of the truth, the “winner’s” version, becomes widely accepted. Furthermore, because this truth is distributed by people in positions of…

    21 victory over Sunderland. Despite their expected urgency to avoid relegation, Chelsea should cruise to a victory. Chelsea clean-sheeted Everton on Sunday, snapping their streak of 11 consecutive matches without one, which could give them some much-needed defensive mojo to end the season. David Luiz left the match with an injury, so that could be something to monitor, but this match shouldn’t be too difficult for the Blues, and a second consecutive clean sheet should be expected. Look for Eden…

    Although, the Hillsborough incident is a complex issue with many stakeholders and perspectives, in order for analysis I will focus on the behaviour exhibited by the Police and Media, using the framework of Kant and others. Since the majority of Hillsborough centres on the grave consequences, utilising a non-consequentialist theory such as Kantianism provides balance. Kant’s theory is deontological it judges morality by examining the motive and rationalisation of actions; rather than goals…
