Therefore, the king isn't pleased with Moore's disobedience, which leads to Thomas' demise.

    Between The World And Me By Ta-Nehisi Coates

    Most of the American history serves a great deal of pride, acknowledgement, and importance to its culture. Spreading democracy and liberty all over the world yet forgetting some part of the history full of abusement, racisms, and evil. The novel, Between The World And Me, written by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who is know for expressing black culture by writing novels, talks about some of this history. In his novel, he confesses all the fears filled in black Americans’ body in a letter that he writes to his fifteen year old son. When I first learned about the history of African Americans, I was shocked and I wanted to know even more about their culture and their backgrounds since, my culture is different from theirs. I was also disguised because American history was so cruel. One of the reasons that I took this class was also to learn more about African American culture. Ta-Nehisi Coates is also African American which helps the novel show his personal feelings and opinions…

    “The Nobodies” is a short film that seems to follow the basic steps of John Truby’s The Anatomy of Story. Though the film follows these steps, I don’t think it’s a good story.

    Midwinterblood By Marcus Sedgwick

    In Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick each story brings a unique idea to the book. My personal favorite one of the short stories was the the fourth one "The Painter." I find that this is my favorite because it is not as dark as the other stories. It still gives us insight into the main themes of love and sacrifice. I see in this story that it gives us a lighter view on these subjects. Love is displayed between both the relationship of the mother and her daughter and the one between Merle and Eric. This story is the most powerful because it foreshadows to the last story and leads us to understand the bigger picture of all these stories. In the story the narrator helps us to understand this relationship better. " It was as if Eric was the child…

Instead of comforting each other in times of difficulty, the Jews respond to their circumstances by turning against one another. Madame Schechter’s fellow Jews lose all their good morals and social affection. Instead of stopping those who are doing the beating to the poor woman, they vocally support them." Make her be quiet! She’s mad! Shut her up! She’s not the only one. She can keep her mouth shut ... “. Even the mothers like Madame Schachter cooperated and encouraged others in torturing her in front of her ten year old son. One of the circumstances that allow for this darker side of human nature to emerge is because of the oppressive treatment by the German officers and the Hungarian police. The Jews were threatened by the words of the German officer, “If anyone is missing, you'll all be shot, like dogs ...".
