- 3153: Not So Hidden Agendas: Wilfred Owen and His Early Editors
- Not So Hidden Agendas: Wilfred Owen and His Early Editors Wilfred Owen is considered by many to be perhaps the best war poet in English, if not world, literature. Yet, at the time of his death on November 4, 1918, only five of his poems had been published. Thus, due to his premature death, it is clear that Wilfred Owen was not responsible for the development of his own reputation. Instead, it was through the efforts of his editors that Wilfred Owen and his poetry were not forgotten on ... actions, it is necessary to discuss his motives for wanting the poems published. Sassoon realised that Owen's work faced the possibility of being forgotten by the larger reading audience because of Owen's untimely death.

- 3155: Elli
- ... forced into the concentration camps. They are treated like cattle on their way to the slaughterhouse when they are taken from their houses to the ghetto, then to the synagogue, and eventually to Auschwitz, the death camp. The majority of suffering that was inflicted on Elli and her associates was physically inflicted, this was in the various forms of: beatings, rapes, murders, hard labor, and also subjective forms such as being ... the female guard. Elli loses all common sense at this point and lets her emotions take over her, and as her punishment she is savagely beaten by the guard as well. After witnessing so much death, pain, and suffering Elli would have been scarred for life. We see a classic example of this when we meet "Felicia the Blockalteste." The German’s that killed her family tormented her and later she started to work for them. She was trying to get some blood redemption by being so harsh to the Jewish prisoners, even though she was Jewish herself. In the death camps, as well as much physical abuse, they were also the victims of constant moral abuse. For example, the male guards were always calling them "Blode Lumpen" which means "Idiotic Whores", also "Blode Schweine" ...

The two rulers were soon at odds ... between the Arian and Orthodox factions at the imperial court, the three sons of the late emperor were raised to the purple by the army on September 9th, 337. The civil war following Constantine's death on May 22nd, 337, did not destroy the new order he had created.

- 3157: E. E. Cummings
- ... he wrote, "for me, this poem means just what it says . . . and the ! which begins the poem is what might be called and emphatic (=very)."
