...At the death camp, Auschwitz, a jewish man survived Nazi doctor Josef Mengele removing his kidney without any anesthesia and then survived the gas chambers because he was the 201st person in line for a 200 person gas chamber. “Statistics indicate that the total number of jews killed in the holocaust was over 5,830,000.” (Bülow) Acts of cruelty were performed daily on jews by Nazis. Neighboring countries could of stepped in and saved millions of jews lives, but instead stepped back and watched them die.

Shaving the heads of the prisoners, the hanging of a child in front of thousands, and the civilians watching the prisoners fight to the death over bread are all prime examples shown by Elie of how dehumanization was used as a tactic in Nazi Germany. One of the first significant acts of dehumanization displayed in Night was the shaving of the heads of the Jewish people when they arrived...

Choosing the Ripley’s train tour because I think it is the most convenient to get off and back on when exploring the many stops they have to offer. In addition to the convenience of getting off and on at will, a narrated history lesson is also included free of charge. On Black-Friday, we started our journey although later than originally planned due to traffic congestion of crazed shoppers. Changing our plans according to our delays, we parked at Sugar Mill Train station to embark on our tour. Our narrator like always was very enthusiastic quickly catching all of our attention in the process. I originally anticipated departing to look around the Presbyterian Church. Unfortunately, due to our late start we were all-hungry and decided instead to get off at St. George Street. My grandson really loved the tram ride and was not at all interested in getting off. Luckily, a distraction by a horse and carriage and the mention of ice cream he soon forgot all about the train. After a snack, a little shopping and a lengthy stroll we were ready to finish our train tour. Completing the train tour, we then chose the lighthouse for our next destination instead of the Fort. Upon arrival to the lighthouse, we were soon disappointed when they would not allow my grandson to be carried to the top...

...considered in terms of the thousands of individuals arrested every year for murder. Killings of mothers and fathers each constitute about 1 percent of all homicides in the United States in which the victim-offender relationship is known. Did he do it? If he didn't, who did? Why would a young man kill his beloved father with a switchblade knife? Attention gentleman of this trial by jury, I am here to present and address to you a murder/homicide case that has previously already been put on trial with a different jury, in which it involves a teenage boy of about eighteen years old, who was accused for the killing and murder of his father by stabbing him to death. It is now our job to begin deliberations in the first-degree murder trial of an 18-year-old accused in the stabbing death of his father, where a guilty verdict means an automatic death sentence. With this intention, I will be sure to diminish all fraudulent pieces of evidence in this case and do whatever I can to prevent the result of a hung jury in this trial as we are dealing with the innocence of a young boy and his ultimate life fate. The boy on trial in Reginald Rose’s play 12 Angry Men is not guilty because, the self-acclaimed woman whose testimony as a witness seemed to be false and misleading as pertaining to the lack of truthfulness, the self-acclaimed elderly man whose testimony as a witness seemed to have an inaccurate estimated time range and period in which he witnessed and heard the boy murder his father in the same...

... The result is a new ice age that wipes out all life on earth. The last survivors of humanity live on a train, created by the godlike Wilford, that is in perpetual motion around the globe and at this time the train has been circling the world for almost 18 years. The train is separated into an elaborate caste system, based upon the type of ticket passengers had when they first boarded. Those with first class tickets live towards the front of the train with every luxury imaginable. Those that had 3rd class tickets or were free riders live at the end of the train and lost all of their human rights. In the film, the class distinctions on the train mirror the class struggles between Karl Marx's bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Those in the front of the train represent the bourgeoisie or capitalists and those at the back of the train represent the proletariat whose “work” is to procreate. The most obvious scene that suggests Marxism is when, Claude, the right hand of Wilford, enters the back of the train to take children of a certain size again. At one point the father of a seized child throws his shoe at her head. After which Minister Mason, represents Wilford who doesn’t leave the front of the train, comes in to bestow the punishment for this so called atrocity, along with a speech; “Order is the barrier that holds back the flood of death. We must all of us on this train of life remain in our allotted station. We must each of us occupy our preordained particular position. Would...
