Peter Skrzynecki’s poems explore the experiences of migrant families who grapple with what it means to belong in a foreign country. Having left the familiarity of their home, they encounter barriers that hold them back from fitting in such as language barriers and the different cultural practices and beliefs. During the poetry, Skrzynecki talks about how as a younger migrant he was able to move past the barriers but he felt like he was alienated from his Polish heritage, ancestors and family friends. Conversely, he continues on about how his parents were too slow on the process of fitting yet, where as unlike him they still maintained their ties with their polish heritage, friends and traditions.…
Experiencing physical darkness, Wiesel would have never believed what his future would draw for him. It is religion what people had on the most when experiencing difficult times. However, the darkest the situation the greater the struggle for keeping the faith is. Wiesel was forced to watch people being tortured brutally and starved to death. Watching people hurting and because of that little by little losing faith in God. Friends and family died daily and the only thing left for young Wiesel was God. As his journey was coming to an end he started to doubt in God. People kept on dying and children hurting, but Wiesel kept praying. Then, a male child was torture, half was dead, Wiesel among other men was forced to watch, listening to man…
On the way to the hospital he knew that it was just a time for him to take a litle rest after all those untiring work to earn a living. Physicians and surgeons did their very best and done seven operations to save the life of hepless man, and was clinically dead for several seconds on his last operations. But soon he was awakened by the images of the young children wearing white clothes that made him decide and promised to put up a school as soon as he recovered because he believed that it was the sign of his mission here on earth. On that moment of his helplessness, he was with his brother reading the bible from the book of John 12:47 “ I came to save the world and not to…
P: He looks terrible, yellow and pallid, and his face already has those weird lines that we are so familiar with. There is no longer any life pulsing under his skin – it has been forced out already to the very edges of his body, and death is working its way through him, moving outwards from the centre. There in the bed is our pal Kemmerich, who was frying horse-meat with us not long ago – it’s still him, but it isn’t really him any more; his image has become blurred, like a photographic plate that’s had too many copies made from it.…
he has found out that everyone had been burned alive inside the church under the order of…
Once Louie learned the news that his former POW captors had been arrested, he became a renewed man. He found his place in Christianity and wanted to forgive them. “At that moment; something shifted sweetly inside him. It was forgiveness, beautiful and effortless and complete. For Louie Zamperini the war was over” (Hillenbrand 386). Louie was overcome with feelings of joy since he could put the worst behind him including, his captors and the memories. For a final word of forgiveness, Louie wrote a letter to the Bird, “At that moment, like the others, I also forgave you and now would hope that you would also become a Christian” (Hillenbrand 405). The letter would be Louie’s passport to a world of undefined peace and healthy living. He stopped his terrible habits the war depressed onto him, and mended his relationship with his wife, Cynthia. Louie Zamperini found his peace with the war after forgiving his captors and the…

He is unable to resolve why he is dying. “His mental sufferings were due to the fact… the question suddenly occurred to him: “What if my whole life has been wrong?” (52). Although he ponders this, it is not until the priest hears his confession he “was softened and seemed to feel a relief from his doubts and consequently from his sufferings” (54). On his deathbed his son sits beside him and weeps. He realizes that his life was not as it should have been; that he had been cruel and emotionally selfish to his family. He realizes that he can change this by dying and ending the suffering of those around him, and this in turn will release him from his…
All that nervous energy that bounced in him, slammed his heart into his chest, kicked him in his stomach and fried his nerves was all gone and he felt incredibly hollow. Now his face itched from being held in a certain position and his lungs fluttered when they finally expanded. His ribcage was gone and his heart was reluctantly easing itself back to it’s normal pace. He stretched his fingers before him and considered, that maybe, maybe he was overreacting over a crush, but it was L of all people, so he stewed in it. He continued on alone, but didn't feel like walking, so he sat down before one of the films that allowed the survivors to tell their stories during the Holocaust. He half listened half pitter-pattered on his phone until someone sat close to him, he scooted over. Then he felt a very small tap on his arm. He looked up and found a faceless young woman holding this baby, this gorgeous, fat, wide eyed baby. Dark eyes, soft dark skin, and smooth curly hair. The baby gave him a gummy smile and tapped on his shoulder…
He was distraught over the fact that appeasing the congregation meant “[deceiving] everybody in the church.” The story’s tone shifts from urgent to elated when “[waves] of rejoicing swept the place,” all the more for a good kid, such as himself, to feel guilty. With the combined reactions from the adults and how no harm came to the children, it was too easy to lie and join the bandwagon, leaving the question of what’s reality. Hughes expertly recounts, in detail, of the revival through his eyes, allowing readers to understand his point of view. Children often misread what they’re told, and in their confusion, subjecting them to the side with the…
I believe there can actually be any number of characters in this short ghost story. My reasoning is, just like 'A Christmas Story', the man, just like Scrouge, was going to bed and could have been carring around a lot of wrongs that he did to people. Instead of these wrongs coming to haunt him, like the ghost of Christmas past, the worry that had been eating him up inside carried over to his hair piece, or wig, and with each worry or wrong he did strands of his wig turned white. The white coloring, would be the ghost of his wrong doings and is a visual representation of the hurt and pain he may have caused someone by his actions. If this is the case, the tone of the story would be sullen and sad because, looking at the wig would show how…
The narrator should not hold himself accountable for his inadvertent part in K’s death because he acted out of fear and the consequences, though tragic, were not of malicious intent but was an innocent mistake.…
