I think it is emminent that I am not a literary person. I do read a lot, but this stuff I don't necessarily comprehend very well. Well maybe I do, if the grades from the papers are indication, maybe I get more than I realize. As for today, McBride's story, I don't have much to say. It involves a number of issues while talking about the four soldiers; the racial issue, conflict and resolution, and mostly the importance of GOD. Maybe I will have more to say in class, to tired to think right now.
I have very strong feelings on this type fo subject. There are people who would say that these are old men, and this happened a long time a go. So many forget that all of the attrocities committed in nazi Germany under Hitler were not directly done by Hitler or senior members of the nazi party. There were many willing accomplices-average, ordinary people who believe in what they were told. These attrocities are some of the worst acts of human beings against other humans in all of history! These men did not commit petty crimes they violated the basic human rights of millions of innocent people. These are crimes that can never be repaid! No amount of time can forgive a man for these type of actions committed. I truely believe that these men, even though they are 80 years old should be extradited, tried, convicted and executed. Justice knows no time limit, ultimately these men shall receive the justice they rightfully deserved from 1945.
Just as the previous story, this one does not make any sense to me. I understand that he was related to Rollo, who has died. Or, better said killed by an emu on his ranch in Wyoming. But other than that, the story tells of a half skinned steer walking away?? And then the drive to get to Wyoming and all the trouble. Ending with the car breaking down after it had been stuck and he was followed by the half skinned cattle?
Thias story does not make any sense to me. The narrator who is a woman named Lucy, who is a freelance photographer by trade talking with her friend Leo in San Francisco. But beyond that it doesn't make any sense to me. All I read was their stories about bad relationships. The phrase "I am the best girlfriend you never had" was out of the blue and and doesn't make any sense. And the ending was abrupt and didn't conclude much of anything. I guess that's why I am taking this class.
