Fogg 's The Novel Around The World

The Indians and Europeans are divided but together in terms of the appeal Indian cultures had on some Europeans. In New Worlds for All, the author Colin Calloway goes into detail about how some of the Europeans had interest in Indian cultures because of the woman and networking they had over there. Calloway says about the European traders in Indian territory that “Traders in Indian country enjoyed casual sexual encounters with Indian woman, but they also cultivated relationships that tied them into Indian kinship networks and gave them a place in the community” (Calloway. 154). In other words, the Europeans that had interest in living in Indian territory were there for sexual pleasures from the Indian woman as well as having a better life

In the book, The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin, the conclusion is what summarized the plot of the book. Knowing this, one might agree the way the ending was written was very effective. The owner of the Westing Paper Products Company, Sam Westing, was murdered. Sixteen people are called to Sunset Towers to participate in the reading of the will. Little did they know that the will was only going to unleash the monster in them all. The will of Sam Westing went on to say that one of the sixteen people in the room was a murderer, the same murderer that ended his life. Everyone would be paired into teams. Clues were spread out among the pairs-of-two and the game began. 200 million dollars was offered to the person who uncovered the secrets to

The book Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a poignant reminder that the battle for equality is still ongoing for African Americans, and that the average black reality is rife with perils, which could easily lead to the destruction of life or liberty. In the wake of the recent string of deaths involving unarmed African American citizens by the hands of local law enforcement, Coates presents his narrative in the style of a letter to his son. Writing in the form of a letter offers a deeper sense of intimacy both with its perceived intended subject (Coates’s son) and the reader. The intimacy expressed through this narrative style denotes Coates’s own intense emotions to the reader regarding race in America. In this way, Coates offers a view that is authentic, humanistic, and emotionally charged contrary to just being an omniscient narrator.

The most important chapter in Let The Great World Spin by Colum McCann is the one that brings different classes of people together. In the chapter titled “Those Who Saw Him Hushed,” New Yorkers of all walks of life, all races, all genders stop to watch the figure of a man balanced outside a window of the World Trade Center. “Doctors. Cleaners. Prep chefs. [... ]Wall Street,” stood together to crane their necks towards the sky (McCann 4). People who would not interact on a usual day are standing and talking to one another. Because they happened to be in a specific spot at a certain time, they met and were friends with perfect strangers. The social classes had no effect on the tightrope walker and why he was walking between the twin towers.

Mankind has been utilizing fire for millennia; it has been used to make food safe, to provide warmth, to illuminate the dark and unknown, and to protect from savage beasts. It is also practical for torturing, killing, intimidating, and destroying. It only takes one glance for someone to see how fire -- as it dances, spearing the sky for but a moment before it is gone, only to be replaced by another flame -- is far too chaotic to be controlled. In the world of Fahrenheit 451, it seems, superficially, that man has conquered fire at last; the home, man’s refuge from everything undesirable in the world, is fireproof. Why, then, are things still burning in this gilded utopia? In this futuristic society where there is no such thing as an uncontrolled fire, fire has been reduced to a mere tool to be wielded by mankind. As such, fire, in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, is a reflection of the true nature of each character in the novel. In the hands of the society and especially the fireman, fire is a tool wielded for fractious and destructive intent. For Clarisse, who is compared to a candle, fire is friendly and inspiring of thought. And for Montag and the other literates hiding outside of the city, fire is a warm gathering place that fosters kinship and the proper ideals to feed a revolution.

In Neil Postman’s “The World Weavers/ World Makers”, Postman speaks about definitions being a powerful tool. He argues that definitions are not concrete, but instead are “instruments” to be used to serve a specific purpose that the author wants. Martin Luther King Jr displays this use of definitions as a tool in order to answer criticism and explain why he is heading the assault against segregation. He does this by providing his own definition of the word law. King uses definition as a way to promotes democracy and the ideals behind it.

As George Orwell himself once said, “no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.” The truth is Snowball, Mr. Jones, and Napoleon would never let go of power if and when they attained it. George Orwell shows that power or having the idea of being the leader can get Snowball corrupt, he shows that power causes Mr. Jones to take without giving back, and lastly, Orwell shows that absolute power causes Napoleon to want more power no matter the cost. In his novel, Animal farm, George Orwell uses snowball, Mr. Jones, and Napoleon to demonstrate that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The chapter “The Age of Total War” in Eric Hobsbawm’s novel “The Age of Extremes” is broken into four sections in order to explore the time period of 1914-1945. This essay will explore the subjects and processes that are present in this chapter of Hobsbawm’s (1994) novel in a limited scope. The processes that will be discussed are how the zero sum game led to the total war of World War one; the desire for revanchism led to the existence of World War Two, the cost of World War Two led to the economic crisis and how the disaster these events caused resulted in the desensitization of human beings. Throughout this chapter, Hobsbawm (1994) frequently expresses a fear for human kind in both a literal and metaphoric sense arguing that people of

For many of the young people at LAYN the violence and trauma they experienced throughout their life, almost always chronic and pervasive, is unimaginable. The vast majority of RHY and foster youth have experienced complex trauma, and the young people at LAYN are no different. These young people come to LAYN having experienced multiple and concurrent traumas throughout their short lifetime including: physical, emotional and sexual abuse-often within the caretaking relationship, community violence, victimization and sexual exploitation, extreme poverty and homelessness, parental mental illness, substance abuse and incarceration, and abandonment, illness and death. The traumas that RHY and foster youth experience are compounded by their attachment history, developmental stage in life and their experiences of discrimination and oppression throughout society.
