Saki's "The Interlopers": Plot Analysis
349 Words - 2 Pages

.... But a man who has been brought up under the code of a restraining civilization cannot easily nerve himself to shoot down his neighbor in cold blood and without a word spoken, except for an offense against his hearth and honor." (p. 44) Just as both are about to shoot, a tree branch from above crashes upon the men. The feeling of suspense flees, and a feeling of sorrow and pity for Georg and Ulrich fills one's heart. The reader feels immense sympathy for the situation: how many times in one's own life has a mere squabble gotten out of control and wrecked everything? The men lay, crippled beneath the tree in the cold and realize the foolishness of their ways. Ulrich says to ....


Lipset's American Creed
958 Words - 4 Pages

.... a doubt, there is a powerful abnormality in the founding of America. The documents establishing a country where all men are created equal neglect to address, or even mention by name, those people whose lives were "merely the extension of the master's will" (Huggins xiv). Indeed, this suggests that the Founding Fathers had an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality towards the issue of slavery. While Huggins understands why the Founding Fathers may have elected to ignore the issue, he hardly thinks that it was a good idea. "It encouraged the belief that American history-its institutions, its values, its people- was one thing and racial slavery and oppression were a differe ....

488 Words - 2 Pages

.... a man desperate to find meaning in his life and pride in himself before it’s too late. He has worked for the same company for his entire career, dreaming of being "well-liked" and being ‘someone." For Willy, being well-liked equates with success.

Once a professional baseball player, he was unable to play in the major leagues because of his African-American roots. There is no aspect of his life in which he does not feel constricted or fenced in. Because he is black, he is not allowed to drive the garbage t ....

.... with some natives. The argument between Fresleven and the natives was over some chickens, and Fresleven felt he had been ripped off in the deal. Marlow describes Fresleven as "…the gentlest, quietest creature that ever walked on two legs."(p. 13 Conrad) However, later in the same paragraph Marlow says,"…he probably felt the need at last of asserting his self-respect in some way. Therefore he whacked the old nigger mercilessly."(p. 13 Conrad) Soldiers in combat are forced to bring the evil within themselves out every time they go into battle. The scene in Apocalypse Now where Captain Willard first meets Lt. Colonel Kilgore exhibits the power combat has in bringing out the ....


Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl
1793 Words - 7 Pages

.... that when slavery exists, true womanhood cannot. Due to their vastly contrasting circumstances, free white women of the North were entirely different creatures than the slaves of the South. As a result of the explosive Industrial Revolution, massive economic growth and the birth of a new middle class in the early part of the nineteenth century, Northern women were experiencing a total reform of society. Nancy Woloch states in Women and the American Experience “middle class Americans had rising incomes, expectations, and living standards” (p.67). The atmosphere was charged with growth and transformation. It was out of this shift in society that the “cult of ....

.... poisoned against such cultures by the Party and so have no reason to want to experience them. Waknuck is also based largely on Religion - it is a Christian society. Most of the prejudices are formed from the Bible. Any creature that is against “the true image of God” (or a mutant) is called a Blasphemy. The Christian religion (and indeed other religions) have been the source of numerous prejudices in modern society in Britain (for example sexism and homophobia) and indeed conflicts (for example the conflicts between the Republic and Northern Ireland). In the novel ‘1984’ know-one follows a religion as such, as far as the people of Britain in 1984 are con ....

.... lied helpless in a hospital bed, he demanded Peter ask for a mistrial, but it seemed only to go in one ear of Peter's and out the other. Peter's boldness would be costly though, as he would lose the case and lose his father. Richard did not die, but when he heard of his son's error he could not forgive him and couldn't bare to see him anymore. Only a fatherly instinct would force Richard to find a meager job for his helpless son in a small town with an old friend who was looking for someone trying to regain status as Peter now was. Whitaker was not as exciting as Portland was to Peter, but he began to be accustomed to the town when he began his handling small criminal c ....

No beggars implored him to bestow a trifle, no children ....
