Assigment 2:Cattle Car Complex

I think that the story that I read was really interesting because it shows how he felt and it made you feel like if you were living it yourself. He started panicking in the elevator thinking that he was in a recreation camp. Since he is claustrophobic and he is afraid of the dark. All his fears were in that elevator which made him feel like he was in a cattle car on its way to the camp.So i think its really cool how he describes everything happening to him and how it makes you feel like your in that place experimenting all those wild,creepy,and scary feelings.

What he did was really terrible and i really don't find any point on what he did to the Jews and all that people he killed. He tried eliminating them from the world just cause he had hate against them without having a good reason.So to my point of view he is a really bad man.

☺The Poem ☺
LANG hae thought, my youthfu' friend,
A something to have sent you,
Tho' it should serve nae ither end
Than just a kind momento:
But how the subject-theme may gang,
Let time and change determine;
Perhaps it may turn out a sang:
Perhaps turn out a sermon.
Ye'll try the world soon my lad;
And, Andrew dear, believe me,
Ye'll find mankind an unco squad,
And muckle they may grieve ye.
For care and trouble set your thought,
Ev'n when your end's attained;
And a' your views may come to nought,
Where ev'ry nerve is strained.
I'll no say, men are villains a';
The real, harden'd wicked,
What hae nae check but human law.
Robert Burns
