frankenstein #1 isloation

shared by Connor P on 16 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • In Frankenstein, however, isolation only leads to despair. Readers get the distinct feeling that Victor's inquisitive nature causes his emotional and physical peril because he cannot balance his intellectual and social interactions.
  • Not surprisingly, Walton's ambition to conquer the unknown moves him, like it does Victor, further away from civilization and closer to feelings of isolation and depression.
  • Connor P on 16 Feb 12
     
    This source shows the isolation that appears throughout the novel in both of the main characters live. It depicts Victor's and Walton's alienaton from society as they both become self absorbed in their own interests. They desert their families and the interactions with societies as they try to aim for their own selfish dreams

#1 invisible man blindness

shared by Connor P on 05 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • presenting the ballroom as a chaotic world where nothing can be trusted, and by presenting the boy as fully human and flawed, Ellison makes a happy ending impossible.
  • There is still too much for the boy to overcome, too much for him to learn. He does not yet know the difference between looking and seeing, and he does not understand that in a world of chaos, a piece of paper is no more to be trusted than a gold piece on a carpet. At the end of the story, though, there is some hope.

    This helps show the beginning of the narrator's process of maturity. He does not acknowledge the lack of trust nor the oppression against him. This helps show his blindness and ignorance

#1 Malcolm X rebirth appearance vs reality

shared by Connor P on 08 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • As long as Malcolm stayed in the Black Muslim movement, he was not free to speak his own mind. He had to represent the "Messenger," Elijah Muhammad, who was the sole and absolute authority in the Nation of Islam.
  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This quote shows the betrayal of Elijah Muhamma and the theme of appearance vs. reality. This moment is the second rebirth just as IM has to rebirths. Here he sees that the Nation does not stand for the right beliefs and knows he has to move on

#1 as i lay dying isolaton alienation

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • As a result of their communication problems, members of the Bundren family live alienated from each other—whether willfully (like Addie or Jewel), unknowingly (like Anse, Cash, Dewey Dell, or Vardaman), or painfully (like Darl).
  • This alienation extends to neighbors, who misinterpret or simply cannot fathom the family's actions.
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    This shows the isolation and alienation in the characters live. As isolation spawns alienation, this main theme reflects the families ability to communicate together and interact

the jungle #1 poor treatment of workers

shared by Connor P on 29 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • One reason was that a great number of unskilled laborers came to America at the time, so that employers could offer low wages for miserable jobs and always find someone willing to do the work.
  • Connor P on 29 Sep 11
     
    The underlined quote shows that the unskilled labor source fueled the fire of the early 20th century labor and they were at the demands of the bosses. They are symbolic to breeding animals as they are used for production and when they cannot, they are kicked to the curb. And the flow is in constant motions which allows the bosses to keep making the conditions worse and worse

#1 grapes wrath poor treatment workers

shared by Connor P on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • working conditions
  • Living conditions are also difficult for migrant farmworkers. Wages for farmwork have not kept up with inflation; consequently, it is difficult for families to afford basic necessities like housing, food, health care, and education for their children.
  • Connor P on 30 Sep 11
     
    This quote displays the tangent between the poor working conditions of the farmers in the 30s and of now. The workers are treated horrible and no one can help them because they are independent workers or their buyers stiff them. Due to the oppression they receive, the theme of helping others is again ignored

#1 fast food nation poor treatment workers

shared by Connor P on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • the industry basically exploits its workers because they have no other options: the industry "now employs some of the most disadvantaged members of American society … people who can barely read, whose lives have been chaotic or shut off from the mainstream."
  • Connor P on 30 Sep 11
     
    Source combines all three novels to describe social injutice. It talks about how the workers are exploit due to the overflow of labor and shows the management can do what they want because the supply of labor flow so freely

#1 Nickel and Dimed corruption government workers

shared by Connor P on 03 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Ehrenreich earned just over $1,000 per month. After paying for basic needs, however, she was left with $22. In addition to being low-paying, the two jobs required workers to be on their feet all day, with breaks only for restroom use, no facilities for lunch, and no health or retirement benefits.
  • Connor P on 03 Oct 11
     
    This shows the hard conditions that the workers have to go through even in modern times. The laissez faire style of the government is seen in which upper management can act corruptly toward the workers and get away with their behavior.

#1 a room of one's own class conflict oppression

shared by Connor P on 12 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • She herself lectured only to women and working-class people. She gave lectures to women students and fellow professional women, to the Workers' Education League, and to the Working Women's Cooperative Guild.
  • Connor P on 12 Oct 11
     
    This quote here shows Woolf's target audience which combines not only women but also working-class people. This shows that her ideas of oppression and the need to rise up can be intertwined in both groups of people as they are completely differnet yet united by a set of beliefs. Therefore, the workrs of The Jungle, Fast Food Nation etc. can follow Woolf's principles

#1 the great gatsby the american dream theme setting

shared by Connor P on 24 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • The color green represents not only Gatsby's dream of winning back the idealized Daisy but also the broader American dream. The valley of ashes that lies between Long Island and New York City
  • symbolize both the moral decay of U.S. society and the plight of the poor people (including Myrtle and her husband)
  • Connor P on 24 Oct 11
     
    This shows the symbolism of the color green in which Ftizgerald uses colors to express his themes and the setting which symbolizes the social classes on a larger scale
