He is trying to show us that he is a normal human being, and is trying to show us that we probably expected him to be insane. This shows savagery because when someone is mad or has gone mad they start acting crazy. IT shows that you don't have to look crazy to act crazy, you can look completely normal but you might be doing something crazy behind people'e backs. Adolf looked completely normal but without anyone knowing he was killing people. ]]> 2021-02-25 15:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241528539 jackl75 https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241529465 According to Stanza 2, line 1, it states "What did you expect." as a way to show how this ordinary man was responsible for 6 million deaths. With having medium intelligence, you would not think this man would be capable of such thing and the poet definitely makes that clear by explaining how he didn't have any special abilities or attributes that made him so successful in these deaths.]]> 2021-02-25 15:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241529465 Jocelyn Chen jocelync123 https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241530974 According the Stanza 2, like 1-2 states, "What did you expect? Talons?" The line expresses how even though Adolf Eichmann was a horrible person, he didn't look any different from the everyday person. A person can look completely normal but be a evil on the inside. Like how the quote had said by William Golding, "Look out, the evil is in us all" Adolf Eichmann looks like an average middle aged man but whats inside was completely different. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing. ]]> 2021-02-25 15:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241530974 Joshua Fan joshuaf269 https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241531152 Stanza 2 lines 1-2.

Green saliva?" This part of the text shows how anyone can look normal and not have the characteristics of someone "evil", but they can still be evil. People often do not have green saliva or look evil when you first meet them, however, they can be evil on the inside.]]> 2021-02-25 15:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241533025 Rachel Lee https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241533168 According to Stanza 2, line 1, "What did you expect." The author is asking what else did we expect from a human. A person who looks innocent and act innocent can be guilty of something bad. They don't need talons, green saliva or madness to be savage. Sometimes, the most innocent looking people may be the ones stabbing you're back.]]> 2021-02-25 15:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241533168 Britney Rivera https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241534187 According to Stanza 2, line 5 the author uses the word "madness."

He hid in the shadows, acting innocent to everyone.]]> 2021-02-25 15:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241534187 whitneyp13 https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241538127 A savage person knows how to hide the fact that he is savage.

The author is trying to imply that although he might seem like a typical person he is not innocent. This is an example if savagery because the author is trying to point out that even savage person can disguise or blend in with normal people although they are evil on the inside .]]> 2021-02-25 15:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241550096 Emilee Barcenas emileeb1 https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241551546 In Stanza 2, lines 1-2, it states "What did you expect?

Referring to the fact that Adolf was one of the biggest murders, killing more than 6 million people while having the average intelligence, and average looks, nothing was distinguishable. denised43 https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241866644 2021-02-25 16:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1241866644 Ewurafua Benn https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1242372671 Leonard Cohen is conveying that Adolf Eichmann is presented on the outside normal and looks no different from everyone else. Evidence can be found in Stanza 1 line 5 “DISTINGUISHING FEATURES…..None”.  Adolf does not have any distinguishing features such as talons, oversized incisors, green saliva on his physical appearance that would show he is savage or evil. Despite this it is his character and actions that portray his savageness and cruel/insane behavior. His savageness is just not displayed through his looks, it is similar to how a guilty person can appear innocent but in fact be guilty because it is not distinguishable unless you know their character and evil  doings.

A savage person can be described as having unnormal features. Such as being dangerous, or madness. Which relates to Stanza 2.

Talons?" This showcases that when a person is savage, their appearance won't change from other people who are civilized, savage people are shown through their actions, it is not expected that they look different than others. A person could look like they are civilized and innocent but in reality they are just as evil as Adolf. Savagery is not just displayed through looks, a guilty person like Adolf couldn't be distinguishable by how he looked but distinguished by his savage actions and his characteristics. Savage people can be anywhere without us knowing because they won't have things like talons. The author says that you can't expect the person that is evil to look different, they would look the same.]]> 2021-02-25 17:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1242398259 Nicole Wang nicolew60 https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1242436148 According to Stanza 2, at the last line its says “Madness?”  Someone that is mad can act a savage way.]]> 2021-02-25 18:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1242436148 Evelyn orellana https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1242467420 Leonard states ''what did you expect?Talons?,Oversize incisors?This quote explains how Leonard wasnt different than other peole he was normal but he was a evil person inside.This shows that people that look the most normal can be the worst people and be killers.]]> 2021-02-25 18:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1242467420 Aylissa Thomas https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1243428569 Stanza 2 line 5 "Madness?" is one of the things that can represents an evil person.This can be an evil person because when the go crazy the things they do can turn into madness and they can end hurting lots of people.]]> 2021-02-25 21:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1243428569 Group 5 reannar10 https://padlet.com/wmitten/40am74quparq36zz/wish/1243451121 In Stanza 2, Line 7-8, it says "What did you expect?... Green saliva?... Madness?”. This shows that savagery is not to be defined or associated by looks, people all have a unique sense of style and appearance that is not in relation of savagery. What does define a person, a savage is their actions, an action that does define Hitler to be savage is killing more than 6 million people in WW2.

Talons?" This line expresses how even though Adolf Eichmann was a bad person, he did not look any different from the average person. Someone can look completely normal but have done bad things in the past. This is just like the quote by William Golding had said, "Look out, the evil is in us all" Adolf Eichmann looks like an average male adult, but what he has done was completely different.
