    In this journal, I will be characterizing Klaus. I characterized him as being both intelligent and quite knowledgeable about literature. To begin with, Klaus is quite intelligent and wise. For example, when the Baudelaires are at the hotel they need to keep hidden, so they decide to go undercover as concierges. Being as wise as he is, when ever Klaus would be confronted by someone he would always respond as vaguely as possible to conceal his identity. When Frank or Ernest asked him who he was he

Immigrants have always been the “friendly strangers” who’ve come to enjoy America’s freedom with ambitious mindsets. However, as soon as the immigrants started affecting the future of “true” Americans, these “friendly strangers” instantly were seen as evil intruders. The rumors spread of the “evil doings” of immigrants, which lead to the presumption that immigrants

    Many people believe there is not a dividing line between ignorance and indifference, but they are more similar/connected to each other than people think and are the opposite of moral responsibility. In both the story “Night” and Elie Wiesel’s “The Perils of Indifference” the Americans(President) and the Germans both showed indifference toward the Jew during the Holocaust and World War II, which proves people are willing to sacrifice others to keep themselves safe and not get involved with anything

    The movie A Few Good Men provides a perspective with which to view the issues of the defense of obedience to authority when following instructions from superiors.

Lee Hamilton, authors of “The My Lai Massacre: A Military Crime of Obedience,” would likely argue that numerous factors other than intentional sadistic urges could cause a person to unnecessarily inflict violence on another human being. Both articles use
