#5 frankenstein sanity vs insanity chaos vs order

shared by Connor P on 16 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • It shares also the sense of crossing lines or boundaries and of otherworldliness. The enormous popularity of the Gothic novel had actually passed by 1816, but the genre, with its emphasis on darkness, madness, the supernatural, and strange passions, has never been fully dead.
  • Connor P on 16 Feb 12
     
    This talks about the theme of sanity vs insanity and chaos vs order. The gothic elements helps make the novel dark and chaotic in which Victor must define because of his responsibility. The helpful gothic elements of madness and darkenss help further these themes

#6 invisible man education uncovering masks

shared by Connor P on 05 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • At the funeral for Brother Tod Clifton, whose murder is one of several epiphanies, or moments of illumination, in the novel,
  • the invisible man looks out over the people present and sees "not a crowd but the set faces of individual men and women."
  • Connor P on 05 Jan 12
     
    The murder of Brother Clifton really helps the narrator develop his maturity. This helps him see the individuals rather than the masses thus finally discovering the corruption of the Brotherhood

#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.
  • Connor P on 05 Jan 12
     
    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

As I Lay Dying children death psychology

shared by Ellen L on 29 Feb 12 - Cached
  • Some children may still think the dead person will return. Guilt may make a child feel responsible for the death through her own wishful thinking (I wish he would die!), harsh words (You'll be the death of me yet.) or not doing something (I didn't help Grandpa mow the lawn. Now he died.). Fears related to death may arise.
  • Some children in this age range may appear to be unaffected by death on the surface. They may see death as a punishment for bad deeds.
  • How to help: Be a good listener. Correct any confusing ideas the child may have. Provide play opportunities and routine. Reassure the child the death was not her fault. Provide opportunities to open discussion with a quiet child by reading stories related to death.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Talk about the ways in which things are different and how they are the same. Reassure the child he did not cause the death.
  • Ellen L on 29 Feb 12
     
    This site talks primarily about younger children s understanding of death, and what parents should do to help their young ones cope with the phenomenon. The thought processes spoken of on this site reflect those thought by Vardaman

#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

  • Women working full time—not part time, not on maternity leave, not as consultants—still earn only 77 cents for every full-time male dollar.
  • If you’re a young woman who graduated last summer from high school, you will earn $700,000 less than the young man standing in line with you to get his diploma over your working life.
  • Evan G on 10 Oct 11
     
    Just a bunch of helpful statistical data about women being paid less; even during modern days. Also would have been relatively helpful on the woman essay from her little essay

shared by Ellen L on 31 Dec 11 - No Cached
  • It is not easy for the Black America to empower itself when all the odds appear to be against the community. Many members of Black America find themselves being afraid to participate openly in the political and economic processes that might empower the Black Community. This fear has led many in Black America to believe that they must exhibit a racelessness persona in order to achieve vertical mobility in America.
  • Education is a tool that Black America must use for social change, to educate its youths, and to correct the mis-education of and about the Black Community.
  • lack educators and writers must commit themselves to helping Black America define itself. The capacity to untangle the complex racial, social and cultural human experiences in the United States of America, that helped to define Black Americans, seems to elude the Black Community. Educators are needed to help untangle the meaning of racial stratification and its impact on the Black identity (politically, socially, culturally, and economically). Thus the identity of the Black Community suffers.
  • Ellen L on 31 Dec 11
     
    This article discusses the course of action the author believes will most successfully mobilize the black community further.  Henry discusses the importance of education and identity in achieving social mobility.

  • Although he is the youngest, it seems as though he is the lost one in the family- no one is there to help him figure out or understand the concept of death,
  • Vardaman is alone in thought and age difference in the family and he sort of becomes an orphan when he loses his mother
  • Evan G on 26 Feb 12
     
    This source discusses the role of isolation and alienation in Vardaman's life; he is the innocent, clueless child who is unable to comprehend Addie's death, yet his father and brothers neglect him, and no one helps him understand. He wanders around confused and clueless

As I Lay Dying coping grief psychology parents

shared by Ellen L on 29 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Grieving is the outward expression of your loss. Your grief is likely to be expressed physically, emotionally, and psychologically. For instance, crying is a physical expression, while depression is a psychological expression.
  • It is very important to allow yourself to express these feelings. Often, death is a subject that is avoided, ignored or denied. At first it may seem helpful to separate yourself from the pain, but you cannot avoid grieving forever. Someday those feelings will need to be resolved or they may cause physical or emotional illness.
  • Ellen L on 29 Feb 12
     
    This article discusses the importance of outward expression after the loss of a family member, despite how close they were. This display of emotion helps one to deal with the loss, lessening the probability that it will later turn into a mental illness. Following Addie's death, with the exception of a few silent tears shed by Vardaman, and Jewel's anger outbursts, very little display of emotion is held, thus explaining the family's worsening state.

#5 jungle poor treatment workers helping others

shared by Connor P on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • He witnesses the greed and corruption in the industry and the deterioration of the lives of many workers. He is also shocked by the unhealthy handling of the meat. The novel presents graphic descriptions of diseased animals and rotting meat being sold to the American public.
  • Connor P on 30 Sep 11
     
    This quote displays the images of the poor treatment of the workers and the consumers during the early 20th century. Not only were the workers repressed, but the bosses did not care about their consumers. As long as they bought the product the bosses did not worry and the lack of the universal theme of helping others is left out

#3 grapes of wrath poor treatment workers helping

shared by Connor P on 30 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • The Grapes of Wrath is a bitter tale of humans against nature and against a brutally exploitive society, but it is also a tale of nobility, of self-sacrifice, and ultimately of hope.
  • Connor P on 30 Sep 11
     
    This quote shows the constant battle between humans against nature and society. Nature and society is symbolic of the poor working conditions and few jobs that they must overcome. By displaying the theme of the fight for better conditions, Steinbeck parallels this with his theme of helping others to show their differences

a room of one's own Woolf servants

shared by Ellen L on 11 Oct 11 - No Cached
  • Upon reaching adulthood, she would never live without some form of domestic "help", and battling the "timid spiteful servant mind" throughout her life both enraged her and sustained her. It was easier for her to regard her servants as not quite real than to accept the fact of her dependence on others.
  • It's a compelling portrait of how rich and poor women of this time were locked into a strange and pernicious symbiosis, and a vital warning against social inequality.
  • Ellen L on 11 Oct 11
     
    It is interesting how Woolf thought so negatively about the social gap between men and women, and the poverty of women that kept them from freely thinking, yet had no qualms about depending on servants and other domestic help. These people are in similar situations to the ones she portrays women to hold, which makes her treatment of them suprising (she tries to avoid contact with them by writing her orders in order to avoid them all together)

#2 in cold blood parenting irrational thoughts

shared by Connor P on 21 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • Readers learn of Perry’s fantasies of being “Perry O’Parsons,” a singer in the limelight at a Las Vegas showplace. Readers are told of his dreams in which he is swallowed by a huge snake, rescued at the last moment by a big yellow bird, a Christ figure, that wafts him to heaven.
  • Connor P on 21 Mar 12
     
    This here shows Perry's irrational thoughts as stemmed by his parents neglection. His odd dreams help the reader understand the effects of the poor parenting in his life.

#5 invisible man control unity

shared by Connor P on 05 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Ellison seems to suggest that such an establishment of personal identity should be the true aspiration of African Americans;
  • that it is only through the establishment of identity that other progress can be made; and that as long as African Americans allow others to determine their identities, true freedom and equality will be hard to achieve.
  • Connor P on 05 Jan 12
     
    This is the finally realization that helps the reader know the the narator has matured and discovered how to overcme the oppression. He see the controlling his ow destiny and unity are the keys for success

  • Recognizing that the name he was given at birth was forced on his ancestors by the White people who at some point had owned his ancestors
  • Louise Little, traumatized by the horrific murder of her husband, cheated of the insurance money she should have received at his death and unable to find work to support her children was further victimized when the government imprisoned her in a mental institution, seized and scattered her children into various foster homes.
  • Evan G on 05 Jan 12
     
    Source discusses the name trouble: the blacks are given names by their white slaveholders. Links to IM---blacks cannot find their own identity if they are being named and depersonified by the whites! Also discusses Malcolm's mom, who suffers, like IM, to the point of losing her mind and sanity, all at the hands of the white oppressors.

#6 Malcolm X rebirth past education chaos vs order

shared by Connor P on 08 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • The doctrines of the Nation transformed the chaos of the world behind prison bars into a cosmos, an ordered reality.
  • Malcolm finally had an explanation for the extreme poverty and tragedies his family suffered, and for all the years he had spent hustling and pimping on the streets of Roxbury and Harlem as "Detroit Red."
  • Connor P on 08 Jan 12
     
    This helps show the rebirth of Malcolm X as he begins to understand the world around him and embrace his past. It also explains the theme of chaos vs. order for out of the chaos of prison comes the order of his new principles.

#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

    Much like in TGOW, today workers are still being forced to uproot and move to other places where work can be found. This article talks about an "underground railroad" of sorts, which helps workers who have suffered accidents/arrests/other unfortunate events and help them obtain the American dream they left their homelands for.

  • 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.
