For this paper, I would like you to use Peters’ memoir to evaluate his actions on that evening in 1935. Specifically, I would like you to use evidence from the memoir to answer the following question: should Peters be held responsible for the death of this “beggar”?
Paper must include at least eightpieces of evidence from Shanghai Policeman, four of which must be paraphrases.
In answering this question, you must touch uponthe following two issues.
Discussing these issues will help you to make your argument about whether or not Peters shouldbe held responsible for the death:
First, did racism or other forms of bias playa role in Peters’actions on that evening?Can you detect evidence of bias –directed against a particular group or even socioeconomic class of people –in the memoir? In your view, did this play a role in Peters’ actions, and should it play a role in whether or not Peters is held responsible for the death?
Second, what was Peters trying to accomplish in writing this memoir? The memoir was not an objective description of the facts of the case. Rather, it was Peters’ own description of what happened, written to serve his own interests. What do you believe Peters was trying to do in writing this memoir and in providing this account of the incident that almost cost him his freedom?
