I Ching What a blessing…a miracle…fate? Somehow‚ I Ching made the cut and survived the great book burning of 213 B.C.‚ perpetrated by Ch’in Shih Huang ti‚ the first Chinese emperor. I Ching became the only existing divination tool‚ earning its place in history as the oldest Chinese oracle. The “I” is pronounced “E” and speaks to both the intellect and imagination. Also‚ “I” refers to “change”‚ which clarifies why I Ching is dubbed The Book of Changes in the English language. It denotes “simplicity”

The most noticeable part on this page is the two police officers that come to collect Mr. Zylberberg. They are two Jewish officers‚ who have the mentality of siding with the enemy for some leverage. Throughout these pages it isn’t mentioned that they were Jewish police officers‚ we are given this idea graphically by the representation of the officers being mice. A very good illustration of fragile moral and ethics is when the Spiegelmans decided to give

the war broke out and Serb’s occupied the country. I chose to do my Research about this while studying The Rwanda Genocide in 1994. I discovered that Rwanda wasn’t the only genocide that happened in the past and I really wanted to learn something about the attack in Srebrenica in 1995‚ where around 8‚000 people were killed. By doing this research study I hope to improve my research skills which will be a great start before I go to university. I hope it will help me make my note-taking and reading
