#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."

    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.

    "Absurdist comedy is juxtaposed with existential tragedy, complicating the reader's assessment of the Bundren family and the significance of their actions"

    This source is a literary criticism of the novel. It provides solid details to the black humor used in As I Lay Dying, and speaks more of the style of Faulkner's novel.

    Herald Hellwig finds the similiarities between the members of the Bundreon family and the Greek Gods. Like within the networks of mythological characters, there are divisions and multiple miscommunications.

the jungle

shared by Evan G on 29 Sep 11 - No Cached
  • Every event, especially in the first twenty-seven chapters of the book, is chosen deliberately to portray a particular failure of capitalism, which is, in Sinclair’s view, inhuman, destructive, unjust, brutal, and violent.
  • The slow annihilation of Jurgis’s immigrant family at the hands of a cruel and prejudiced economic and social system demonstrates the effect of capitalism on the working class as a whole
  • Instead of a land of acceptance and opportunity, they find a place of prejudice and exploitation; instead of a country where hard work and morality lead to success, they find a place where only moral corruption, crime, and graft enable one to succeed materially.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • The family itself has been subject to swindles, grafts, manipulation, and rape. As the corruption motif recurs with increasing levels of immorality, it enhances the sense that things are growing worse and worse for the family. Sinclair heightens the atmosphere of grim tragedy and hopelessness to such an extent that only the encounter with socialism in Chapter 28 can possibly alleviate Jurgis’s suffering and give his life meaning.

    Yet again, Sparknotes is a fairly decent source, describing various themes for potential essay topics including the failure of capitalism, corruption in businesses, treatment of the [immigrant]  worker, etc. It's very short, to the point, and concise, talking about how awfully workers are manipulated, and the utter torment they go through on a day-to-day basis, merely trying to survive.

    "F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece The Great Gatsby (1925) is the quintessential tale of the American dream: the heights a man may reach, the past he can discard, the joy he may (or may not) find, and the tragedy that living the dream may bring him. "
  • Sarah Sch on 25 Oct 11
     
    "Fitzgerald writes about the traditional white American dream which is born out of capitalistic ideals, and, thus, reliant on material acquisitions and attaining high social status."
  • Sarah Sch on 25 Oct 11
     
    This article's main focus is on "The Great Gatsby" and the elements it encompasses. The article discusses the literary techniques, basic plot, and authorial purpose. "The Great Gatsby" is a novel about the American Dream and one man's pursuit of his own part of that dream. Gatsby strives to achieve wealth and success yet once he's there he is not happy without Daisy. Daisy is the ultimate object. She is a person that embodies wealth and status.
