Paul, Tatiana, Tatiana’s brother, and his wife go outside to see for themselves. They witness their neighbor being beaten by Hutu soldiers. Tatiana pleads with Paul to do something, but he says that there is nothing that he can do.

He looks all over the house for Tatiana and his children, and finds them along with their Tutsi neighbors hiding. The next morning, Hutu soldiers come to their house and take everyone that was staying at the Rusesabaginas with them.

The refugees are told to call their influential friends, and some families are able to leave, including the Rusesabaginas. The woman from the Red Cross arrives back at the hotel, and Paul tells her to go and find his nieces. She says that they are probable dead but finally agrees to do so.

Meanwhile, Gregoire tells Hutu soldiers that the UN trucks are carrying Tutsis, not supplies. The soldiers surround the trucks and start to attack the passengers. Troops from Rwanda arrive soon after, and the trucks drive back to the hotel.
The Serb peasants risked their lives by helping the downed airmen. They welcomed the airmen and loved them as their own people. If Germans found Serbs helping these men, they would destroy a whole village and take all the people prisoner. The author portrayed this by describing the extremes the villagers took to hide the men. General Mihailovic made sure that his guerilla forces always protected the Serbs and the airmen. They followed the men

The film Hotel Rwanda starts off with a radio broadcast. The man on the radio is speaking against the Tutsi’s; presumably this mystery man on the radio is Georges Rutaganda, who is a Hutu militia Interahamwe. Our protagonist, Paul Rusesabagin, runs a hotel and is also a Hutu himself. He is a friendly man who gets along with everyone and does not agree with most of the other Hutu’s. His wife is a Tutsi which forces him to deal with a lot more harassment from the other Hutu’s. With Paul’s determination, he helped spark the counter revolution seen at the end of the movie.

"The Breakfast Club" begins with an old dramatic standby. You isolate a group of people in a room, you have them talk, and eventually they exchange truths about themselves and come to new understandings. William Saroyan and Eugene O'Neill have been here before, but they used saloons and drunks. "The Breakfast Club" uses a high school library and five teenage kids.
The Breakfast Club is a coming-of-age movie. This movie follows five high school students who all have school detention on a Saturday morning. They all come from various types of group. There is the anxious and bizarre girl, Allison; the sporty guy, Andrew; the hard-acting guy, John; the popular girl, Claire; and the nerd, Brian. They all saw each other that way too because they were “brainwashed” into accepting that. Since they are all from different types of groups, they don’t know each other, nor do they want to. At first they think they don’t have anything in common, but as time passes, that proves to be wrong. Since they were the only people in the library, they can’t help but slowly get to know each other. This movie was written and directed by the brilliant John Hughes, who in my opinion is the “King of 80’s movies.” He has directed great 80’s teen movies like 16 Candles, Ferris Beuller’s Day Off, and Pretty in Pink. This movie has mix of genres any individual could possible enjoy: drama, comedy, and even romance. The actors in the movie performed to be tremendous in their roles. The actors in the movie are known as “the brat pack”. The movie is starring: Emilio Estevez, known for popular movies like The Outsiders; Molly Ringwald, who starred in movies like Pretty in Pink and 16 Candles; Anthony Michael Hall, who was in the movie 16 Candles with Molly Ringwald; and Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson, they both starred in St. Elmo’s Fire. There couldn’t be anyone better to portray the characters in the movie than these actors.

Watching the film, Hotel Rwanda, can make one wonder how cruel the humanity can be. The film is suitable as a focal point for discussing evil because the genocide that the film is based has been widely condemned as a result of its wicked aspects. The main protagonist, Paul Rusesabagina, has been viciously awakened by the level of evil that has possessed his ethnic community. During the entire genocide, he is the only Hutu who has sympathy toward the Tutsis. With the desire to do what is morally right in the society, Paul risks his life to hide close to 1000 Tutsis in his hotel. He has to bribe the local Hutu militia leaders to protect the Tutsis, including his wife and family. Although the society regards bribery as unethical, one can consider it as a lifesaver in the film. This is because giving bribes in form of cigars is the only way Paul can save hundreds of lives. The Hutu militia leaders are so inhuman that they value cigars more than the life of a human being. These events depict the rotten nature of the society, as even human life has to be saved through corruption.
