3. How does she describe torture (18)? Does her definition differ from your own understanding?

4. Look at the description of the aunt who died in the gas chamber on pp Kluger is not trying to convey petulance or lack of concern, but she is trying to convey something important. How do you understand her failure to forgive her poor murdered aunt?

6. Kluger writes of her “shabby, shameful childhood in Vienna” (24-26). What were the restrictions on Jewish children?

Are they to blame for India ’ s problems? Who, according to Gandhi, is to blame for colonialism? 4.Give 2-3 possible translations of “ Hind Swaraj ” and explain the significance of each. Why might knowing these translations and what they mean be significant for understanding Gandhi ’ s book?

5. What is counterargument? List at least three strategies for counterargument, with examples. 6.Explain the role of Tiresias in Antigone. What is the crucial thing that he does? 7.How are the “ green glasses ” that Kleist says we all wear similar to the bureaucrats in Michael Kohlhaas? 8.How are the conditions of “ doing ” different in Antigone ’ s Thebes and Michael Kohlhaas ’ Holy Roman Empire?
