This militia is made up of Hutus who want to kill all of the Tutsis in Rwanda. They are violent, unforgiving, greedy people. They end up slaughtering almost half of the Tutsis in Rwanda and try to kill more. They kidnap Tutsi women and keep them in pig pens and beat and use them as they please. The interhamwe puts all of the dead Tutsi bodies on a back road that ends up being completely covered.

    Paul Rusesabagina Quotes

    “Was God hiding from us during the killing? It used to be that God and I shared many drinks together as friends. We don’t talk much anymore, but I would like to think that we can one day reconcile over an urwagwa and he will explain everything to me” (Rusesabagina 184). Throughout the novel, Paul Rusesabagina is faced with a never-ending avalanche of struggles that would smother a weaker man. However, he maintains a façade of resilience despite his tribulations and fears, doing so through his eloquence and mastery of the art of conniving. The aforementioned quote brings home the impact such a horrific experience brought upon him, while highlighting his innate tendency toward open communication. This tendency was his greatest assest throughout the genocide, which he exemplified when he said “Today I…

    The Times of Life

    In the movie Hotel Rwanda, there were many situations where heroism and conscience where shown. In the movie there was a man named Paul who was almost always showing both of these characteristics. He had a very informed conscience, even with the brutal situation he was in. An informed conscience is a conscience that is educated and developed through constant use and examination. Paul shows this type of a conscience because he was never turning anyone away from the safety provided by the hotel and the few UN soldiers at guard there. Paul also a great hero because even though he knows there is a constant threat from the Hutu army, he keeps his cool and sticks with what he has been taught and what his conscience tells him is right. A hero is someone who follows his or her conscience in the face of difficulty. Lastly there is a character named George who has a very different view point about ongoing massacre, which gives him a lax conscience. He does not even think twice about killing the Tutsi people, or giving weapons to the Hutu army. A lax conscience is when a person does not employ a process of conscientious decision making, thereby not facing or thinking about the morality of actions that he or she performs.…
