#4 frankenstein isolaton true monster

shared by Connor P on 16 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • The bounds that Frankenstein transgresses are those of obedience to community. He makes himself a monster in two senses. The price is death not only for himself but for his family and potentially all humanity.
  • Connor P on 16 Feb 12
     
    This source shows that irony that Shelley creates in which no one truly knows who the monster is. Through the behavior of Victor, he leads the reader to question wether or not he is the monster. This also shows the isolation of his life.

#4 in cold blood parenting neglect

shared by Connor P on 21 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • As a child, Perry was shunted from one orphanage to another, neglected by an alcoholic mother and a father who drifted in search of gold.
  • Connor P on 21 Mar 12
     
    This quote shows the neglection in perrys life. It also shows how he did not have any role models to set his thoughts straight

#4 invisible man rebirth

shared by Connor P on 05 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • While these impatient questions ostensibly test the hero’s memory, he finds them difficult to answer.
  • The essay suggests that the transplanted blacks residing in Harlem had too often lost touch with the folk traditions that had supported their sense of identity in the South.
  • Connor P on 05 Jan 12
     
    This shows the rebirth of the narrator in which the scale begins to tip in favor of his maturity. By wiping the slate clean with the destruction of his memory, he is able to move on with his life and see the oppression that the whites use to keep the blacks invisible

#4 Malcolm X maturity control destiny

shared by Connor P on 08 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • The work tells of Malcolm's rise from a life of crime and sin to deliverance through his conversion to the Nation of Islam, then his repudiation of that sect in favor of a more inclusive vision of world and racial unity.
  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This shows that Malcolm X grows from his early ignorance to control his own destiny. His maturity is finally acheived as he grows to make his own decisions. X never looks back from this point on.

#4 as i lay dying isolaton structure

shared by Connor P on 01 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • against the chapters as discrete units and against the isolation of individual consciousnesses that the chapter breaks reflect--in order to illuminate larger coherences born of the characters' multiple voices, but utterly inassimilable to them and unavailable to the characters themselves.
  • Connor P on 01 Mar 12
     
    This source is interesting as it comments that Faulkner uses the choppy breaking up of narrators to show the isolation of the family. as no member has consequtive chapters nor are the chapters intertwining view points

#4 jungle poor treatment workers corruption

shared by Connor P on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • To these men, any money spent on employees—whether in terms of wages, benefits, or sanitary and safe working conditions—meant less money for their own pockets. The connection between healthy, happy workers and high levels of productivity was not obvious in the Gilded Age and the Progressive Era.
  • Connor P on 30 Sep 11
     
    This quote does a great job of bringing in the time period of the Gilded Age. This time peroid is symbolic of corruption and greed which proves people would do whatever it takes to get ahead. By doing this, they forget the universal theme of helping others which led to the horrid conditions for the poor workers

#4 grapes of wrath economic injustice

shared by Connor P on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • The Joad women thus demonstrate that all of the suffering poor are their family, to be nurtured and sustained in the unending struggle for economic justice in an economically unjust America.
  • Connor P on 30 Sep 11
     
    This quote shows that the economic system in America in unjust and provides poor condtions for the worker. The women of Grapes of Wrath are seen as symbols of the poor and demonstrate the theme of economic injustice

#4 fast food nation poor treatment workers consumers

shared by Connor P on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • While cataloguing assorted evils with the tenacity and sharp eye of the best investigative journalist, he uncovers a cynical, dismissive attitude to food safety in the fast food industry and widespread circumvention of the government's efforts at regulation
  • Connor P on 30 Sep 11
     
    This source shows the the government does not care about its food safety thus leading to the endangered lives of the workers and consumers. The government shows it evils by aiming for profits rather than helping the workers
  • Ben R on 04 Oct 11
     
    I completely agree with what you are saying connor. It seems to be a consumer trying to better our eating standards is a losing battle, when you have some of the most powerful corporations and influential companies cooperating with the government it seems that there is now way to win even a marginal victory.

#4 nickel and dimed 'grapes of wrath anger sympathy

shared by Connor P on 03 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Though Ehrenreich still sees hope and a strong drive to succeed within this community, she fears a future uprising as people "are bound to tire of getting so little in return and to demand to be paid what they're worth. There'll be a lot of anger when that day comes, and strikes and disruption."
  • Connor P on 03 Oct 11
     
    This quote can be seen as the modern day version of The Grapes of Wrath. As the cyclical theory repeats itsself in history, the people of modern time are experiencing the same problems as the migrant workers. The author again evokes the passion to show the consequences of the poor treatment of workers

#4 the great gatsby the american dream

shared by Connor P on 24 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • The American dream, like Gatsby's house in the end of the novel, is empty, or may never have existed.
  • Connor P on 24 Oct 11
     
    this shows the symbolism in which the American dream is corrupt through which gatsbys house is empty. it shows that the true american dream is not reachable
