  • Character Analysis: Into The Wild By Jon Krakauer

    2430 Words  | 5 Pages

    I think that Chris is a very motivated person. He knows what he wants and he is willing to do anything to get there. This quote describes when Gallien was trying to persuade Chris not to go through with his hitchhiking plan, “But he wouldn’t give an inch. He had an answer for everything I threw at him” (Krakauer 7). This quote shows the depth of his motivated character because of his unwillingness to change his mind. Additionally, I also think that Chris has a very optimistic character and outlook on life. Chris is not willing to totally accept the danger of what he is about to do because he is quick to hope for the best. Proof of this character trait can be found in the following quote, “‘I’m absolutely positive… I won’t run into anything I can’t deal with on my own’” (Krakauer 7).

  • Arguments of Christopher Browning versus Daniel John Goldhagen Regarding The German View of the Holocaust

    2634 Words  | 6 Pages

    The arguments of Christopher Browning and Daniel John Goldhagen contrast greatly based on the underlining meaning of the Holocaust to ordinary Germans. Why did ordinary citizens participate in the process of mass murder? Christopher Browning examines the history of a battalion of the Order Police who participated in mass shootings and deportations. He debunks the idea that these ordinary men were simply coerced to kill but stops short of Goldhagen's simplistic thesis. Browning uncovers the fact that Major Trapp offered at one time to excuse anyone from the task of killing who was "not up to it." Despite this offer, most of the men chose to kill anyway. Browning's traces how these murderers gradually became less "squeamish" about the killing process and delves into explanations of how and why people could behave in such a manner.

In another moment other of its pursuers would see it, and it would be overpowered and captured, to experience once more the horrible tortures of the enclosure. Abruptly I slipped out my revolver, aimed between his terror-struck eyes and fired” (Wells 72-73).

  • All Quiet On The Western Front And The Man He Killed Analysis

    1252 Words  | 3 Pages

    Yet in neither case did they kill their foe because they felt a personal hatred for this enemy. Both Paul and the narrator killed because they were ordered to kill and because they had no other choice if they wanted to survive. The narrator of The Man He Killed when faced with an enemy “shot at him as he at me, and killed him in his place” (Hobbes). The narrator understood that the man he killed was his supposed enemy and yet he still thought that in another situation the “enemy” was somebody he would “treat, if met where any bar is” (Hobbes). In All Quiet On The Western Front Paul shares a similar view to the narrator of The Man He Killed. When coming upon an “enemy” Paul “[strikes] madly at home” killing the man but upon further reflection Paul begins to feel guilty for his actions (Remarque 216). Paul realizes that he had no personal grudge with this man and was forced to kill him to save himself. Both Paul and the narrator are aware that the men they killed were not the enemy, but only Paul was able to discover who was the actual enemy while the narrator accepted his situation without thinking. Paul begins to look at the bigger picture and realizes that “perhaps if twenty or thirty people in the world had said No” he would have nobody to fight and he would have no need to kill (Remarque 203). Both Paul and the narrator understand that those fighting them

  • John The Savage Character Analysis

    653 Words  | 2 Pages

    Aldous Huxley’s, “Brave New World,” explores the roles of people in society, morals concerning sexual activity, and other controversies in our reality. One of the principal characters in the novel is ‘John the Savage.’ John is a unique character in the story because unlike the other characters in the book, his emotions and morals were similar to those of the majority of our society. He felt emotions in a way others did not, and his morals can be regarded as ethically right (for example, he did not consider sex to be meaningless; in fact, he considered it an intimate act. Unfortunately, by the end of the story, John develops into a corrupt and barbaric man- the novel even finishes with the image of John whipping both himself and others, eliminating our prior perception of John’s character. This paper will analyse the themes and importance of the final moments of “Brave New World,” and explore how a person’s sexual experience is heavily experienced by their environment.
