“Each guard holds on to an arm, and the young girl, screaming, is led out of the barrack. Seconds later, a shot rings out. I sit up with alarm. They shot her?” pg 92, I Have Lived a Thousand Years.
My reaction is how can someone have the heart to kill a girl just because she was screaming! This to me is just so surprising and scary. I wanna know if the Nazis ever felt really bad about shooting innocent people. This just shows me how horrible the Nazis were to the Jews and how strict they were. This is scary because imagine all the Jews that heard that or seen that, they were probably really scared and didn't do anything after that experience.
This quote reminds me of the theme power. The Nazis had a lot of power at that time and they used it all for bad stuff like putting innocent Jews in concentration camps and death camps. This quote reminds me of the Boston Marathon because in the Marathon innocent people died and in this quote a poor little girl died because she was screaming. A little boy in the Boston marathon died because of the explosion. This quote tags along with the marathon because the kids didn't do anything to deserve that devastating problem.
I suspect you are simply stating a truism about man's cruelty to man. The Boston Marathon perpetrators were no better than the Nazi guard. They all had 1 end in mind - the death of at least 1 other human.

You've touched upon the ultimate human cruelty with a great analogy. Well said.
