The Iron Heel
... on brother until the inevitable Extinction Level Event.
This is why I disagree with Ernest Everhard. He tries to make the boss's see the way, but he can't because that way will never happen. The most he will ever get from a few sparse owners is an occasional raise or improvement on conditions. I'm not saying this wont help, but its what he should be shooting at. I admire him at his work but like I said, no one man can effect a populating class of millions.
Before I go into my opinion on his actions and consequences, I would like to give you an overview of the book.
Ernest Everhard is highly educated young man with a vision. He wants the upper class to experi ...

Patriarchy In Fargo And Raise
... to retain power over the master.
Raise the Red Lantern gives western society a everyday look at the fourth wife of a rich landowner, Songlian (Gong Li). Forced to marry against her will by her sickly mother, Songlian initially despises her new surroundings: a small, enclosed manor filled with traditional rules and ritual with which she is unfamiliar with. Although she has been to University, education means nothing here; her entire world becomes that of the small compound cut off from the rest of society. Yimou's portrayal of a patriarchal society is evident through his use of mise-en-scene comprimising of uniform, hard-angled lines, consisting of rectangles ...

Minnie Bibble
... uses direct characterization first in describing Minnie. Direct characterization is statements or facts that the author tells the reader directly. Using this we learned that Minnie is a fifteen-year-old girl, whose father had moved her to Southampton from New Orleans in May, in order to get her mind off of boys and love. This move was not very effective, she was engaged before the first of June.
Second, Fitzgerald also uses indirect characterization, through thoughts, words, and actions and through perceptions of other characters. This shows that Minnie has a wonderful personality and is very charming. We also learn immediately that she has taken a liking to t ...

The Essence Of Hamlet
... wanted to explain Hamlet's interpretation of the self through historical contexts, through the occurrences and popular schools of thought during Shakespeare's era. It can seem a tremendously difficult task, but given the vast amount of resources, it is quite possible that the Hamlet aficionado can gain a thorough understanding of how Hamlet interpreted the self. One way to categorize Hamlet's interpretation of the self is by first considering Hamlet's interpretation of man in general. Then we consider Hamlet's interpretation of himself, his analysis of his own behaviors and his inner thoughts. Through these two methods, we notice Hamlet's apparent resignation of ...

flavor of mortality in lies." Lying makes him feel "miserable and
sick, like biting something rotten would do." Since he feels this way,
he would only tell a lie in extraordinary circumstances. The first lie
was told by Marlow in extraordinary circumstances. It was told because
he had a notion it would somehow be of help to Mr. Kurtz. The lie was
to allow the brick maker to think he had more influence in the company
than he actually had. This lie would help Kurtz in two ways. Firstly
it would help Marlow to get the rivets he needed to fix the boat, and
that would provide Kurtz with a means of communication, or a way out

Kurt Vonnegut's "The Lie": Portrayal Of A Moral Society
... the favor is not given. Throughout all of this
seemingly harmony and perfection there is one voice of truth. That voice is
Sylvia, Eli's energetic mother. She points out all of the facts of how
flawless Whiteh ill is. The author portrays her as hyper, curious,

rules. Vonnegut conveys a false sense of m ...
