Comparison of Heinrich Heine and Gunter Grass
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing classic
works by these German authors. Both Heine and Grass portray a dark and nearly hopeless
Germany in their works. Heine's Deutschland, a Winter's Tale is older than Grass' The Tin
Drum by more than 100 years, a century in which Germany rose to command world
attention twice. Grass portrays a Germany with much similarity to that of Heine's time.
Heine was threatening and ominous in much of his epic-length verse. He was able to see
ahead on Germany's then-current path; Grass looked back along that path in the other
direction. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Eichmann And Stangl: Two Different People Or Two Different Authors?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Human behavior is a complicated and curious equation. The answer to why a particular action is exhibited may be locked away in centuries worth of evolution, yet it continues to be displayed even today. Contemporary sociologists have come to understand that the
human mental condition is part of a complex interplay between the environment and biology. Indeed, there is a direct link between brain chemistry and structure that ultimately dictates behavior. Hannah Arendt's "Eichmann in Jerusalem : A Report on the Banality of Evil" and Gitta Sereny's "Into That Darkness : An Examination of Conscience" discuss such behavior as it relates to infamous Holocaust personalities Eichmann and Stangl. However, upon reading these accounts, one is compelled to ponder whether these men represent two different people or two different authors. No
additional sources cited.
