Ignorant Icon INTO THE MIND OF A MADMAN? “In my mind’s eyes my thoughts light fires in your cities.” This statement given by Charles Manson after his conviction in the 1969 Tate, LaBianca murders raises questions of morale in a “cultural icon” society. What would posses a man to take advantage of others, instill demonic beliefs, and perform senseless murders. The grizzly murders of actress Sharon Tate and her friends and of the LiBianca couple on August 9, 1969 have been studied and reviewed
Amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe, Fortunato’s character is shown as an ignorant, too trusting, and naive. I think this is because he must of been somewhat young. In the story Montresor says “My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met. How remarkably well you are looking today.” He puts up a good front acting friendly. Fortunato allows Montresor to lead him down into the catacombs thinking nothing of it. The reason I find that Fortunato is ignorant is that when Montresor insists on Fortunato going back up and

Creon was talking to Haimon about his decision making and role in power. Haimon was making great points but, Creon would just ignore them completely because of his age. Creon questions

simultaneously hated and loved for his anti-racism stance, and he defends Tom Robinson, an innocent black man accused of laying hands on a white girl, in a large court case in Maycomb, Alabama. Despite his good intentions, however, Atticus is very ignorant and complacent with racism all around him.

In the book,
numerous adjectives, Holden's character can be perfectly described as ignorant, a liar, and a slacker. He is ignorant because he does not learn from his mistakes. He is a compulsive liar. Finally, he is a slacker because he avoids work. Holden is just like countless people out there who do not apply themselves. You see, Holden could be smart. He could be successful. He just doesn’t have the motivation or ambition to do so. Being ignorant means to lack knowledge or awareness; uneducated or unsophisticated
“Knowledge makes people humble. Arrogance makes people ignorant” (Anonymous). The Europeans were especially ignorant when first coming to America, and, as explained in this quote, they were also arrogant. They did not worry about the lives of the Natives that they were destroying.

In the first chapter of “The Ignorant Schoolmaster” Ranciere analyzes two radically different pedagogical orders in education. Ranciere characterizes the two orders by a stultifying or an emancipatory master. All conscientious professor’s believe in the order of stultification, which aspires to lead students through a series of steps until reaching the master’s level of knowledge. The principle of stultification supports the pedagogical myth, dividing intelligence into inferior or superior (7). On
How could one be so ignorant to think that the main characters in Nameless Tennessee are unintelligent? In the story Nameless Tennessee it is evolved around a married couple selling they’re general store. They are a very nice couple with a country accent. That is what disgusts me the most, (no not the country accent). The fact that anybody would think they are vacuous since they sound different. In the story Nameless Tennessee I believe the message the author is trying to convey is don’t judge people
