    Alicia Partnoy's 'The Little School'

    Alicia Partnoy an Argentinian who was kidnapped and held as a prisoner in what was called “The little School” shares with us her personal testimony. In her time there her along with all the other prisoners were forced to wear blindfolds, preventing them from talking to or even seeing one another. They were tortured on a regular basis. One of the consistent themes I noticed was how the guards destroyed the prisoners’ sense of human dignity. Giving them little food, rarely letting them shower, torturing women for information along with many other horrible things. In many cases, the guards would force prisoners like Partnoy to strip for them. Through all these horrible events happening all at once Alicia managed to remain strong on page 43 she…

    Solitary Confinement In Assata

    Several of the prisons where she spends time are described as having a certain stillness to it. She describes one of them “like some kind of bizarre death row [where] everything was sterile and dead” (253). Another one smelled “like blood and sweat and feet and open sores and, if misery had a smell, like misery” (85). In this context, where she is constantly constrained by “what seemed an endless amount of chains and shackles” (208) so much so that she “barely walk or shuffle” (88), she manages to defend herself against the violence—physical and otherwise—of guards, marshals, wardens, jurors, and doctors. She also manages to conceive while imprisoned, thus asserting that her status as a prisoner of law did not determine her status as a human being.…

Out of all the Homeric characters though, Odysseus is repeatedly shown, mainly due to his function as the protagonist, to be by far the most morally ambiguous character. Despite his heroic motives and highly intelligent qualities, Odysseus is still a deceptive character whose unwise decisions are what shapes The Odyssey into the tale that it is.…
