Bartlby and War

The post Foreshadow made a great point in comparison to Bartlby and families of war. It is the same point that had crossed my mind after reading Bartlby. The war influences much of what we do on a daily basis. This includes things like T.V. shows, music, movies, and just the way we run out lives. Those with family members in the war, are being placed and questioned about their loved one and how things in Iraq are going. Just like Foreshadowing made a comparison by saying that in Bartlby he writes about war and its effects on helping families and others, I find this very true. We as humans tend to feel a sense of guilt when bad things are occurring. This sense of guilt brings out the good in individuals, and in a way somewhat forces us to help those who are struggle with whatever the situation may be.
