Rwanda 1994
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the incident in 1994 that took place in Rwanda, South Africa, whereby nearly one million people were mercilessly slaughtered as a result of careful words on the part of officials who instigated the rage and anger. An analysis of the book 'Season of Blood,' by Fergal Keane, is a large part of the paper as this book details nearly anything of importance to the ugly reality of the story. While some may ignorantly claim it was age old prejudices that led to this genocide, it is most obviously not prejudices that fired the people up to the point of behaving in such inhumane fashion. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Nelson Mandela's Speech As Song
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper comparing the inaugural speech of Nelson Mandela with the performance of Verdi's Radames in the opera Aida, and exploring the ways in which a knowledge of the structure of music can lead to a deeper understanding of public addresses. Mandela's use of technique quietly and politely leads his audience to the point that they want more, even though a significant percentage of his audience was white. Both the black and the white could easily supply the unstated meaning of the progression through which Mandela led them. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
