Odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will. the persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. there is no remedy for it" [p. 82]. do you think this is true? why would an odor have such power? in what ways does grenouille use this power to his advantage?

 Yes, I think that’s true. Odors have the power by itself to make us happy or sad, to bring it back memories of certain times of our lifes and even memories that we cannot remember, from our subconscious. In the movie “The Perfum”, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the main character, born without your own odor, and he made his life by extracting the pure women’s perfum and use it to make people love him.

Explanation: Grenouille always had this addiction to feel the odor of all the things: places, food, actions, people, etc. Considering the fact that he born without your own odor and without self-love or love by anyone, he iniciate a journey to make the perfect perfume, by murdering pure virgin lady’s and extracting their odor, assuming that after the perfum’s done he will get the power to control the world and make people adore him.

This is true, smell is the sense of memory and desire. Scents can carry back memories and it can set off pics and memories. They can be used to carry again high-quality childhood memories. It is necessary that it is explained to patients that it is possible to feel happiness with the aid of consciously smelling a scent, such by using smelling coffee in the morning alternatively than seeing it sincerely as a liquid to be drunk. ‘Patients become more balanced which is why there is a clinical method known as aromatherapy.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
