Propaganda Poster
During World War 1, propaganda played a critical role on a global scale, persuading people to
volunteer by putting effort to the war. Propaganda techniques were used for several purposes, in
forms of posters, advertising, newspapers, speeches, photographs, rumours, cinema and music.
These purposes were to obtain power for the battles of the war, to obtain money for financing the
war, to encourage nationalistic feelings of their country to help in the war, and to justify the reason
for why the countries were involved in the war so that the people don 't rebel against the war.
Propaganda, as defined by the Merriam–Webster Dictionary, is the "spreading of ideas, information,
or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person." The use of
propaganda became very popular and successful in countries, such as Great Britain, Germany, and
the U.S.A. It also proved that America was the largest producer of pro–war propaganda in the world.
Propaganda posters were used commonly to encourage people to join and to make a difference. The
posters suggested many ways for the people of the countries to be involved in the war, like
suggesting that people should buy liberty bonds or military bonds in order to help the country
financially, calling for men to fight and to go the front, drawing women to factories so that they can
help with the shells of the bombs and sometimes with the guns, and

A Letter Of Request Letter
A letter of request,
Dear Chief Burial Master, I leave this letter wishing to inform you of my wishes for the afterlife.
I, James Doss leave you this letter regarding the actions that shall be taken to preserve my legacy
beyond this realm in the event of my death. Being a direct descendant to the bloodline of Ramesses
the Second, I expect this letter to be followed to the very letter. Due to the unforeseeable future that
could lie beyond my death, I shall inform you of his accomplishments to prove my worth. Rameses
II throughout his 66 years of rule prove to be one of the most impressive architects of this empire.
He has erected many great temples statues and cities, which now serve as key landmarks for
navigation and many flawlessly serve their purpose, as was defined at their construction. Born to
Sety I and Queen Tuya, Ramesses II showed great promise from an early age. Upon his appointment
as ruler, he began immediate reinforcement and fortification of existing Egyptian defenses showing
to the people he was a ruler that prayed for peace, but prepared for war. On top of his great
architectural prowess, my father should also be noted for his great empathy and kindness. Exhibited
many times during his reign, I wish to detail the instance in which he sheltered his own enemy king
Mursili III from the Hittite people he once commanded. He can also be commended for his brave
fighting during various military campaigns, and especially during the battle of Qadesh in the year

Analysis Of Ernest Hemingway 's ' Hills Like White...

Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway has this uncanny, yet, clear and distinctive writing style, that has made him a
successful author and a means of many criticisms. One critic in particular, David M. Wyatt, says that
Hemingway has a way of making the beginning of his stories "raise the very specter of the end
against which they are so concerned to defend." (Wyatt). In his two short stories, "Hills Like White
Elephants" and "A Clean–Well Lighted Place, Hemingway draws out this uncanny effect in
anticipating the sense of an ending. He paints this very minimalistic style, "only centering on
surface elements without giving explicit content of the underlying themes"(Wyatt) he creates. He
wants readers to depict what's below the surface, letting the crux emit through. In Ernest
Hemingway's intriguing story, "Hills Like White Elephants", he illustrates it, greatly, with his
literary rules of thumb in the mist of it all. It draws out Hemingway's clean, plain–style prose (his
aim being, to put down on paper what he sees and what he feels in the best and simplest way),
pulling us into the story, and sharing just enough about the characters to keep us interested. The
story invokes the idea of abortion, in which a couple "discusses" this idea, along with their failed
marriage, without ever bringing up the subjects. One of the first examples you can attest to with this
principle in mind is the dialogue between The American (being he, the

BrainyQuote.com) Gwendolyn Brooks, born in 1917 in Kansas grew up with her father, David
Anderson Brooks and her mother, Keziah Wims Brooks. Although born in Kansas, Gwendolyn was
raised in Illinois (Shor). Throughout her life she dealt with real issues and confronted them within
her writing. Her thoughts and poetry would continue to be relevant for decades, even as time goes
on, the world still remains a broken place. "The Brooks household was a happy one, and Gwendolyn
thrived on a steady diet of love and encouragement from her parents, who read stories and sang
songs to their two children" ("Gwendolyn" Contemporary Heroes). Brooks discovered her love of
writing as a young girl in her late childhood and early adolescence. She was the target of harassment
in her early schools and was picked on for everything from her hair and the way she looks to her
personality and the way she interacts with others. After attempts of getting along with the other
students at two other high schools failed, Brooks was sent to an integrated high school, Englewood
and graduated in 1934 ("Gwendolyn" Scribner). Brooks graduated from college in 1936 with an
English degree, and later became "the publicity director of the local National Association for the

Unique Elements Within Dickinson 's Poetry

Unique Elements within Dickinson's Poetry Emily Dickinson is considered to be one of the most
popular and prolific poets of her time period. Dickinson had a unique style of writing which pulled
in influence from both the Romantic and Realist periods. Dickinson's style of writing had many
elements, such as imagery and advanced vocabulary, which helped differentiate herself from other
poets. Dickinson also explored a wide range of subjects throughout her poetry, mainly writing about
religion, death, and the mind (Emily Dickinson 1659). These subjects were often referred to through
the use of stylistic techniques and figures of speech like metaphors and similes. These
characteristics of Dickinson's poetry have made her one of the most influential poets of all time. Not
only is Dickinson influential because of her writing style, but she is also influential because people
are fascinated by her isolation and withdrawal from society (Cull 38). Before dissecting Dickinson's
poetry, there is necessary information about her life that needs to be known. Throughout her life,
Dickinson was a very isolated and reclusive person. According to Janet Gray, she "no longer
attended church, stopped visiting friends and relatives, and eventually refused to see people in her
home." In fact, she only associated with a small group of select friends and family members (Cull
38). This reclusiveness had a large effect on her poetry,

Women 's Rights Throughout History
Women's Rights throughout History Today and throughout history, women have had to face a vast
amount of discrimination towards themselves in politics, the workplace, and in the effort to receive
a better education. Within the past decades, women have been discriminated against in many
different aspects and have struggled throughout their day–to–day lives. However, many people have
also taken significant action in standing up for the female population and working to improve their
lives. Many individuals dedicated their lives to helping women to be treated as equal rather than
inferior to men. Those who have fought for women's rights have greatly impacted and improved the
lives of women. Discrimination against women having strong political views and being able to vote
has been a fundamental issue in the past, and is still a present issue. Maud Wood Park, a women's
rights activist, largely increased the number of women interested in politics. Throughout college,
she helped to escalate the number of women interested in taking part in the growing political world.
Without Park, women's interests in politics would not have spiked as much as it did throughout her
lifetime. She influenced numerous women to openly talk about their views on current issues and to
take a stand against the injustice ways that society viewed females. Park helped to establish many
organizations that influenced women to take part in politics and helped to convince men that women
should be allowed to vote.

Pre Reformation Church
When speaking about the nature of the Church it is important to recognize the fact that the Pope and
the Church, during the middle ages, had authority over matters that were not only religious but also
secular. This authority grew over time until the pre–Reformation period. One of the major issues
that sparked the debate over the nature of the Church, during this time, had to do with the donation
of Constantine. The donation of Constantine gave the Pope authority over the secular affairs of the
government. During the pre–Reformation period more and more people began to question such
authority especially when it was clear that the Pope was making political decisions for personal
gain. This is seen clearly with sale of indulgences. Speaking about the donation of Constantine
David S. Schaff says, "Groups of pamphleteers in Italy and France attacked now the claims of the
papacy to secular authority, as Dante, and now its spiritual claims, as Peter Dubois and Marsiglius
of Padua. These men agreed in repudiating Constantine's donation on the ground that Constantine
had no right to bestow upon the Roman pontiff any such power (John Huss, The Church, trans.
David S. Schaff (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1915))." ... Show more content on

One pre–Reformer, John Huss made a radical claim that the Church could be ruled without the Pope
or Cardinals. He says at one point that "...when a pope is insane or become a heretic, the Church
militant remains the faithful spouse of the Lord Jesus Christ (John Huss, The Church, trans. David
S. Schaff (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1915))!" Luther moves far beyond Huss when he
speaks of the Papacy as "the kingdom of Babylon" (Timothy F. Lull, ed. Luther's Basic Theological
Writings. The Babylonian captivity of the Church

For Whom the Bell Tolls(Term-Paper)
When reading an Ernest Hemingway novel, one must try very hard to focus on the joy and
encouragement found in the work. For Whom the Bell Tolls is full of love and beauty, but is so
greatly overshadowed by this lingering feeling of doom––a feeling that does not let you enjoy
reading, for you are always waiting for the let down, a chance for human nature to go horribly awry.
This feeling is broken up into three specific areas. In Ernest Hemingway's novel, For Whom the Bell
Tolls, humanity is exploited through brutal violence, unnecessary courage, and hopeless futility.
Hemingway has the uncanny gift of imagery, and he possesses a brilliant mastery of the English
language. He is adept at manipulating words and weaving complex ... Show more content on

To Hemingway's heroes, though, this last stand is the only imaginable way one can leave this earth
with a facet of dignity. It is the final penance, a last forgiveness of sins. "If I have the guts to do it,
I'll be all right." –kind of mentality. This last gung–ho attempt to show ones valiance is a gift in the
minds of Hemingway's heroes. But the interesting thing is to ponder what would have happened to
this person had they not "bravely" risked their life's and decided rather to find another way out of
this situation, to lead a normal life instead. Would the character still come to an untimely death in a
similar situation just further down the line? Or could he possibly turn the corner? W. M. Frohock
believes that regardless of the situation, the character is forced to do this insane, courageous act, for
he has no choice in the matter. "For Hemingway courage is a permanent element in a tragic formula:
life is a trap in which a man is bound to be beaten and at last destroyed, but he emerges triumphant,
in this full stature, if he manages to keep his chin up." (Frohock 169) Again we see this hope that if
he just "manages to keep his chin up" he has a chance at rise from this situation with honor and
distinction. Although the character is made out to thrive in this kind of condition, it is clear that he
has no choice. The characters are set

Conflict In Ernest Hemingway's Hills Like White Elephants
Conflictions I realized the title of the story "Hills Like White Elephants" holds great value to the
true meaning of the story being the conflict between the man and woman. In the story, you can also
quickly appreciate the color–symbolism being used throughout. This color–symbolism greatly helps
aid in understanding the American man and womans conflict. Depending on who you ask in the
relationship, the conflict they have is with an unwanted pregnancy and the title helps you vastly
understand this disagreement. The title helps show the extreme buildup of tension that the
relationship has so much of. Very fast you can tell how much importance the title will hold when
reading the first line, "The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white". If you are
familiar with the Ebro Valley located in Spain you can tell something is off due to Spain rarely, if
ever, gets snow, which would make the hills white. If you are not familiar with the Ebro Valley, the
end of the first paragraph of the story explains how it is located in Spain. While Hemingway
explains how it was very hot, further confusing and peaking the interest of the reader, when the
reader knows hills can not be white, implying filled with snow, and also be a very hot day. It is in
this first paragraph that you can see how big a role the title will play into the story, and more
importantly the conflict of their relationship. The next time the hills like white elephants reference is
brought up, "They look like white elephants," she said. "I've never seen one," the man drank his
beer. "No, you wouldn't have.", is the most important part of the whole story. This part of the story
is where the tension in their relationship is beginning to show. This is where the reader starts to see
that this story is about so much more than a couple just waiting for a train. The reader is now able to
realize that this couple is falling on hard times in which they are having one of the toughest
conversations a couple could have. What is important is the fact that they disagree on such a huge
decision. What I feel is most important in those short three lines though is that the man misses her
point she is making and takes her words literally instead of figuratively

Comparing Propaganda in a Democracy and in a Totalitarian...
Though some people would disagree, propaganda is far more common in a democratic society than
a totalitarian society. While the totalitarian government can simply tell you what to think and buy,
the democratic government has to hide its attempts to sway the people. It could be argued that
military force and threats of violence are the ultimate propaganda, but a totalitarian government is
not hiding what it's doing. They are forcing the people they govern to believe and do what they want
by force or otherwise. Democratic leaders just do the same thing behind a mask. They use the
media, the Internet, and everything else around you to sway your opinion. This method seems to
work just as well as the violent method; most people in a democratic ... Show more content on

It is always displayed as a "Health food," because of the supposed high amounts of calcium in it, but
the truth is there is more calcium in a piece of broccoli. So why would the government advertise and
support this product as a health food? This all ties in with blatant propaganda, the government puts
more money into the milk industry every year than the amount of money that was put into the mars
rover project. Even with this surplus of money there is still millions of dollars of surplus of milk that
just goes to waste. While most wouldn't consider all of this to be "evil," it is still a negative way to

America is considered to be one of the countries with the most freedom, but this free will is not

what wasn't. This is one of the biggest concepts in the novel 1984; they have an entire ministry
dedicated to rewriting history. This is a HORRIFYING concept, how would one know if an event
actually happened the way they learned it did? Luckily we still have access to mostly true
information on historical events. But who knows how ling this will last, history is always

They then moved to California looking for work in the fields as temporary farm laborers; just like
thousands of other rural families in the southwest. The family led a nomadic life; moving very often
in search of migrant work. Chavez joined his parents to help harvest carrots, cotton, and grapes
under the blazing California sun. During this period Cesar Chavez experienced the corrupt labor
contractors, extremely low wages, and poor living and working conditions that the migrant workers
had to endure. Around this time as well, he got his first glimpse of union organizing when his father
became active in several union activities. (Ramakrishnan; Russell) It is believed that Chavez's father
and uncle actively supported unions. Therefore he learned at a young age firsthand about strikes,
organizing operations, and also picket lines. (Gale Encyclopedia) During his lifetime, Cesar Chavez
and his followers made many changes and contributions to society. While he was alive, he had the
privilege to see what his non–violence actions produced; what they transpired. It is recorded that
Chavez began actively organizing workers in the fields in 1952. The California–based Community
Service Organization (CSO) recruited and trained for his work. Chavez built new chapters of CSO,
led voter registration drives, and helped Mexican–Americans confront issues of police and
immigration abuse during the next ten years. In 1958 he became general director of CSO. With

Upton Sinclair was determined to "expose the shocking conditions that immigrant workers endured"
(Littell 533). He explained the innumerable hazards of the jobs, everything from the fear of
infecting a wound made when a blade accidentally slips into the flesh of a worker's hand to brutal,
violent deaths. Sometimes, working conditions were so bad that visitors would not be allowed to see
the men (Sinclair 98). For example, the "worst of any... were the fertilizer men and those who served
in the cooking rooms" (Sinclair 98). A fertilizer man smelt so badly that the stench alone could drive
a guest from the room, and the men in the "tank rooms" sometimes fell into the "open vats near the
level of the floor" and they would be merely more than bones by the time they were pulled out
(Sinclair 99). Sinclair's marvelous descriptions aroused the public's attention, but not in the way he
had hoped. Instead, readers were more shocked by the "sickening conditions of the meatpacking
industry" (Littell 523). Sinclair explains one non–sanitary situation in the following way: "Jonas had
told them how the meat that was taken out of pickle would often be found sour, and how they would
rub it up with soda to take away the smell, and sell it to be eaten on free–lunch counters" (134).

The miners were forced to live in company–owned shacks and had to trade in company stores at
excessive prices. Almost every miner was in debt to the company for rent and food which came out
of his wages. The English and the Welsh held the best jobs in the mines and discriminated against
the Irish. In order to fight back, the Irish formed a secret organization known as the Molly Maguires.
The name of the society was taken from a group of anti–landlord agitators in the 1840s led by a
widow named Molly Maguire. The Molly Maguires organized about 1860 within a respectable
society, known as the Ancient Order of Hiberians, it was most likely a revival of what was known as
"Ribbonism" of Ireland. This had been formed to defend the interests of peasants against the
oppression of the absentee landlords. Its methods were those of terrorism. The Molly Maguires, also
known as the Buckshots, White Boys, and Sleepers , centered in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania,
more particularly in Cass Township. Although they began as a crude labor organization whose
tactics were aimed at bettering the then unbearable working conditions, the "Mollies" soon attracted
undesirable elements from the rough mining towns, and became a criminal organization. The
members of this organization sought to dominate the politics of the county, and resorted to violence

Although his love of language is soon reinforced when Ella reads him the wonderful story of
Bluebeard and His Seven Wives(44), he is severely rebuked for it–which proves to him again that
language can be dangerous. He says that his response to the story Ella reads him is an "emotional
response"(47), and that it carries a "sharp, frightening, and almost painful excitement"(48) with it.
This gives him further respect for language and its power. At the same time it again brings fear,
because his aunt tells him that novels are the "Devil's work."
This fear stays with him through the next few years. So much so that he cannot even write his name
on the blackboard. When he raises his arm to write his name, his mind goes blank and empty–he
cannot even remember his name at this point, much less write it. He continues to ignore in language
that which he does not like, does not understand, or does not agree with. He uses its power
sparingly: writing letters to relatives when his mother is sick, and reading only sporadically, until a
new job teaches him that ignorance of language does not work in his interests either. When he is
selling newspapers that he has not been reading, he is advised by an older black man that he should
read what he is selling. It seems impossible that in all the time he has been selling these papers he
has not yet read one of them, and so one must believe that he has unconsciously been ignoring the

Underwear Shaping Women: Then and Now Essay
While we have been wearing undergarments for as long as we've had clothes to go on top of them,
the forms that they have taken vary across time periods. Today, as in the early 19th century,
undergarments have the essential purpose of shaping the female form for a better "look" in our
clothing; however, there are many key differences. There are secondary purpose differences,
differences in the way they support our breasts, vast changes in the department of "underpants", and
finally, differences in the way that we view the subject in general. In the early 1800s, undergarments
were worn to help keep the outer clothing clean in a time before the washing machine and regular

Usually this meant that the breasts were either pressed flat, or pushed up into what is described as
the "half–moon" position.(Steele and Gau 291) While they made a comeback as outerwear in the
late twentieth century, early twenty–first, they are by no means common, or anything like the corsets
of history. (Cumming 55) Today, women almost everywhere use the bra, or brassiere, for breast
support. While there are as many types of bras as there are outfits or activities they tend to share a
few of the same parts: the cups, which actually hold the breasts, the band, which encircles the torso
under and between the cups and provide support, and the straps, which go over the shoulder and
provide stability, are in virtually every bra pattern in one form or another. ("Brassiere" 88) Below
the waist, there isn't such a sense of similarity between us and our Romantic era counterparts. At the
beginning of the 19th century, underpants were just beginning to catch on as a ladies garment. That's
right, practically every historical figure known to the world prior to 1800 was not wearing
underpants, kings, queens, presidents and first ladies included! Underpants, then called "drawers",
hit the scene in the early 1800s as a ladies garment. Unlike what we think of as underpants today,
the drawers of the time were nothing more than two tubes of fabric around the legs with a
drawstring that tied at the waist. (Sanborn) At the time

What Are The Moral Values In Beowulf
Morals, Values, and Cultures Expressed In Beowulf
One of the oldest epics of the time is, Beowulf which reflects on the Danish time period. The
unknown author reflects on the daily lives and beliefs of the Danes. Through the author's eyes, we
are able to see a small glimpse of the way these people lived. It explains to us what specific values
were vital to the Danish culture. Even though it was quite different from today, numerous ideas are
similar to this time period. In Beowulf, the Danish are represented by the way the author uses
specific traits to relate back to the morals, values, and cultures of the time.
A value the Danish express during the story is bravery. Beowulf displays enormous courage as he
completes each journey while defeating evil. No matter how hard the task becomes, he does not
show a single ounce of fear:
Dripping through my enemies' blood. I drove
Five great giants into chains, chased
All of that race from the earth. I swam
In the blackness of night, hunting monsters
Out of the ocean, and killing them one
By one; death was my errand and the fate (quoted in Beowulf 153–158)
As described above, Beowulf completes many challenging tasks without becoming panicked. Due to
his bravery, he has the ability to defeat the unknown. As McNary states, "Brave before all else is this
Beowulf, with the bravery of a young, strong, unsoftened people, the physical courage which not
only meets an enemy unshrinkingly, but seeks him out to fight with him alone and

Burton Rascoe wrote: "it is sincere, it is honest, it is intelligent, it is handled in an individual
manner, it bears the impress, it seems to me, of genius." The Chicago Evening American called the
novel "human" and "complicated" and added that Fitzgerald was surely one writer to be watched in
the future. While This Side of Paradise received wide critical acclaim from most critics, there were
some who criticized it. The novel was first published with a series of mistakes including
misspellings of names, book titles, political figures, movie stars, sports heroes and even martyrs.
Over the next four months Fitzgerald embarrassingly attempted to render the mistakes by sending
his editor Mathew Perkins several lists of corrections. Although some errors were corrected many
remained in the novel. Almost all the reviewers of the book in 1920 noted the spelling and grammar
mistakes, but most dismissed them in light of Fitzgerald's apparent literary talent. One of those
unwilling to dismiss the errors was Franklin P. Adams who wrote that the novel was "sloppy and
cocky; impudent instead of confident; and verbose." The New York Tribune and the Los Angeles

Racism is a big issue in both books. Readers can see this throughout the books with the different
characters. The quote is one character talking to the other. Another quote showing racism in "Rabbit
Redux" is "I don't follow this racist rap, you can't turn on television now without black face spitting
at you" (47). In the book several times we see Rabbit saying there are too many blacks. The racism
is not as bad in "Rabbit Redux" as in "Rabbit Run". Between the two books, readers can see
different sides of John Updike's writing styles. In one book, he uses harsher words and more racist
words than the other book. Both of these books include elements of racism.
Second, in "Rabbit Run" and "Rabbit Redux" we see that the themes are kind of the same. The
theme in both novels involves them struggling with something in their life. In "Rabbit Redux" the

Hg Wells Research Paper
H.G. Wells
H.G. Wells, the Father of science fiction, was a liberal thinker who set the literary world ablaze with
his sheer creativity. He gave form to many of the ideas of the future, and a chaotic family life
shaped him. H.G. Wells was a man of many influences, who impacted the people of his time, and
left a legacy that remains today. He grew up to be the enigmatic man he was because of his family.
H.G. Wells grew up in the lower middle class under constant threat of poverty (brittania.com,). His
father owned a hardware store, but more money came in from his cricket playing. Incidentally, his
mother appeared to do all work in his family. He had two older brothers. Marriage came with its

Surprisingly, his first published book was a Textbook of Biology. His first novel, The Time
Machine, was met with immediate success. The Wonderful Visit, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and
The War of the Worlds quickly followed it. Wells also wrote numerous essays and articles at the
time. Unfortunately, he did not stick with science fiction, instead choosing to write comic novels of
the lower middle class. Not only did he write about the future; he also made several correct
predictions. H.G. Wells is sometimes known as the father of futurism (biography.com). He managed
to predict World War II (biography.com). He also predicted the tank, military aircraft, and the
atomic bomb (biography.com). The modern idea of a Martian comes from The War of the Worlds.
H.G. Wells was a man who pushed the limits of imagination. From a poorly educated boy to one of
the greatest authors of all time truly is a truly astounding change. Influenced by his surroundings, he
created worlds unto himself. He truly shaped the ideas the future and left those who knew him in

Fitzgerald's interaction in Rome in 1924 with crew from the movie Ben–Hur (Bruccoli 22 "The

Our Type, The World's Fair, The Mularky Case, and The Boy Who Killed His Mother.
In 1926, All the Sad Young Men was published, and in 1927 he went to Hollywood to work for
United Artists, where he met an attractive actress named Lois Moran (Stern xi). This Hollywood
experience fueled the sixth revision of his fourth novel, about a movie director named Lew Kelly,
his wife Nicole and a young actress named Rosemary. Fitzgerald in the summer of 1929 informed
Scribner's about this new idea and by the fall said that he only had another month to devote to the
novel before he would be finished (Bruccoli 60 "The Comp...). He scrapped the sixth version fairly
quickly, but Rosemary grew out of this short–lived version (Bruccoli xxiii "The Comp..."). Over the

Hemingway Style Analysis Essay

Earnest Hemingway is one of Americas foremost authors. His many works, their style, themes and
parallels to his actual life have been the focus of millions of people as his writing style set him apart
from all other authors. Many conclusions and parallels can be derived from Earnest Hemingway's
works. In the three stories I review, ?Hills Like White Elephants?, ?Indian Camp? and ?A Clean,
Well–lighted Place? we will be covering how Hemingway uses foreigners, the service industry and
females as the backbones of these stories. These techniques play such a critical role in the following
stories that Hemingway would be unable to move the plot or character development forward without

In ?Indian Camp? the roles we see in ?Hills Like White Elephants? are reversed. The primary
characters are now those in the service sector with the Indians filling the rest of Hemingway's
equation as the foreigners. As the father figure tries to gently bring his son up properly his moral
lessons and further introduction to reality are solely facilitated through their traumatic experience in
the service industry dealing with a female who is a foreigner just like as in ?Hills Like White
Elephants?. Except here it isn't explicitly stated that the Indians speak a native language, English,
another language or a combination as the waitress in the previous story. It's through the apathetic
treatment of his patient that Nicks father first develops a new depth to his character. In telling

the obvious sense given the story line of the laboring Indian they must service in the early morning
ours but also in a secondary sense when the Indian woman bites George and he proclaims,
"Damn squaw bitch!? (Hemingway).
In looking at the story ?A Clean Well Lit Place? it almost appears as if the qualities of the foreigner

The reader can easily view that the couple is merely just passing time. However, several references
could lead the reader to believe that the alcohol consumption is a panacea for the couple. In the
opening paragraph, the couple is getting off the train. They wanted to get something to drink. The
couple could have had any beverage to drink but the man suggested they drink beer and then he
emphasized "big" ones. This was an indication that the couple was dealing with something serious.
In paragraph 87 when the girl did not want to talk anymore, she then asked if they could have
another beer (Stanford 841). It is human nature to avoid problems, as this couple is doing. Why do
people drink? People develop dependencies, to cope with troubles. In relation to Hemingway, he
was among the many literary writers who were alcoholics. He even said, "That all good writers are
drinking writers" (Benedictus). Looking at the circumstances when Hemingway wrote the story, he
was very depressed. He became so emotionally depressed he vowed to kill himself by Christmas if
his love affair had not settled (Baker 176). He faced guilt for divorcing Hadley. He also faced
criticism and rejection from his parents. They did not grant approval to his literary works.
Hemingway's mother had even referred to one of his works as, "One of the filthiest books of the

Although he was not physically there for the war, he spoke for the warriors through his novel
("Stephen Crane"). Crane had a new reputation as a war writer, but his curiosity led him to become a
war correspondent. In 1897 he set sail for Cuba to report on Cuban revolutionaries; the boat that he
was aboard ended up sinking. His firsthand experience led him to write The Open Boat. In this
novel, he used vivid imaginary to explain what happened to a handful of men against the power of
the indifferent but destructive sea ("Stephen Crane"). He was unable to get to Cuba so he set out for
the Greco–Turkish War. He wanted to be a firsthand writer, to make his writings realistic. While
trying to accomplish his goal for writing, Crane ended up getting sick. He kept getting sick while he
was a war correspondent because he was around filth so much and he could not really get away
from it. Although he was not physically harmed by the war, he was physically harmed by his
environment at the age of twenty–eight. He contracted malaria and tuberculosis and soon passed
away. He passed away in Badenweiler, Germany on June 5, 1900 ("Stephen Crane Biography"). He
passed away at a young age, but it was because of all the diseases he contracted while trying to write
his stories for the public.
Stephen Crane wrote during the Romantic era in when there was a literary and intellectual
movement concentrating on a more idealistic theme. In his novel, The Red Badge of Courage

Indus were around about 2300 B.C and the Assyrians were around about 1200 B.C. The Assyrians

warehouse for every city they had to store items away. The Assyrians used money from trade to pay
for expansive palaces as well. The Assyrians and the Indus are more different than similar because
while they had well planned cities in common, they differed in government decisions and
occupations. These two civilizations had very different points of view on how things should be done
as a whole. Although the Assyrians and the Indus differed, each civilization had well planned cities.

The Assyrians were very aggressive and were know as the most fierce warriors of their time. Also,
Assyrian rulers often lied and boasted greatly about their conquests. On the other hand, the Indus

they kept to themselves(Charles Scribner's Sons 1988). The Assyrians also had many military forts
built to keep troops in(Ronald Johnson 1993). Overall, it is said that the Assyrians were so
aggressive because earlier in their civilization they were often attacked which probably caused them
to strengthen and build their defense system(Ronald Johnson 1993). The Indus were always
inventing new things like complex pluming systems which helped them greatly. Clearly, the

stating: "Private rights must and should be respected". 7
Davis returned to Washington as United States senator and then in 1853 as Secretary of War.8 As a
spokesperson for the South, Davis captivated senators both North and South. William Seward, an
anti– slavery Northern senator, came to Davis' bedside every day as Davis nursed a cold and
inflammation in his eye.9 Daniel Webster, a leading Whig Politian from Massachusetts, became
great friends with Davis after Davis refused to falsify a report when asked to investigate Webster for

When his first test on the field of battle occurs, however, he sees the truth of war as a friend dies in
his arms. At first the reader may think that the lieutenant was insensitive, but his true feelings show
in these two lines: "I wiped my hand on my shirt and another floating light came very slowly down
and I looked at my leg and was very afraid. Oh, God, I said, get me out of here." (Hemingway 55)
From this point on the war begins to break him down. The lieutenant's increasing consumption of
alcohol lets on that he is trying to avoid thinking about what has happened to him. The wine flows
so freely that the porter at the hospital carries out the lieutenant's trash by the sack load. The
drinking causes him to have jaundice as well as happy thoughts...the price he pays for the liquor.
Hemingway shows American drinking habits in this book which coincide with Stein's idea.

alcohol to make him feel better about himself and his situation. Along with a drinking problem the

love with her and thinks nothing of it when he finds the nurse is with child. To avert his attention
from the war he takes responsibility for Catherine and in the end becomes a deserter only to have his

Therefore there is no way knowing, only interpretation.
In "Hills Like White Elephants" Hemingway exceeds the boundaries of literature. He provides no
clear resolution or climax. The reader becomes unaware of the narrator, only knowing what is said
or described within the bare minimum of context. The short story seemingly only makes sense after
multiple reads and in conversation with other readers. Each time leads to further interpretation. Its
illusion is a simplistic dialogue that Hemingway exhibits. But, the subject upon closer observation is
far more complex than just physical appearances. The individual is capable of inner turmoil under
the scrutiny of simple actions.
The plot focuses on crossing boundaries. The two characters, The American and a woman
nicknamed "Jig", are constantly wavering middle grounds. It's a story about communication and
conversation. Though they are having a conversation the couple is not communicating. The story
implements ambiguity and subtlety to discuss, though never clearly stated, an abortion. The couple
arrives at a train station in Madrid. It is assumed only passing through, they decide to have a drink
while they wait for the next train. The woman mentions the hills resembling white elephants and
notices the infertile barren land in comparison to the green hills in the valley on the other side of the
tracks. There is little conversation till the American man hints on an operation. There is

man "in love with long distances (Williams 30)''. The fact that Amanda wants what is best for her
children is ironic because she worries so much over it that she doesn't realize what is best for them.
The characters that come alive in Williams' works represent people from his life. Amanda Wingfield
from The Glass Menagerie holds strong resemblance to Tennessee's mother Edwina Williams.
Williams described his mother as "a woman whose endurance and once fine qualities continued to

of her selfishness concerning Laura's being unattached; Edwina was much like Amanda, getting
numerous gentlemen callers as a young woman. Laura Windfield in The Glass Menagerie is very

was not able to interact with the outside world. Having pleurisy, Laura was also kept from being a

Myrtle. It was loud enough that Nick and the women could hear them repeatedly. Nick was shocked
that Tom took his wife's cousin to such a place where he cheated on his wife. That is part of the

Henry comments his relationship with Catherine: "I did not love Catherine Barkley nor had any idea
of loving her. This was a game, like bridge, in which you said things instead of playing cards. Like
bridge you had to pretend you were playing for money or playing for some stakes. Nobody had

battlefield, where he gets wounded and then brought to a hospital in Milan to recover. There he finds
out that Catherine has been transferred to Milan and begins his healing under her care. Catherine
would do anything to please Henry and it can be seen how Henry takes advantage of her to work
night shifts in order to stay with him and have sex with him. Even when their relationship intensifies

Many times his fictions are are taken from real life experiences, and many times those experiences
are exaggerated in his nonfictions, thus making him very aware of what he is writing. This gives
him an edge over omitting certain descriptions. This technique is used in one of his story "The
doctor chewed the beard on his lower lip and looked at Dick Boulton. Then he turned away and
walked up the hill to the cottage." Reader figures that the doctor is nervous, uncertain and maybe bit
scared of Dick. Hemingway doesn't tell the reader directly about the emotions and feeling, but
leaves it on to readers to infer. The same technique is also used in the "Three Day Blow" while
talking about his father Nick said "He claims he's never taken a drink in his life" and also mentioned
"He's missed a lot" (Hemingway 44). This line to reader might seem like Nick feels that his father
has not lived his life to its fullest and he doesn't want to make same mistakes as he did. Hemingway
could have said that Nick doesn't want to be like his dad when it comes to getting drunk instead he
uses his iceberg principle which helps him convey the meaning to the reader more effectively. Same
technique goes in Hemingway's "Mr and Mrs Elliot". "Quote" In most of Hemingway's stories his

Foreign Relations In Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises
U.S. Foreign Relations
Novel Analysis Paper
Ernest Hemingway's description of the post WWI era through The Sun Also Rises
In the realm of foreign relations, it is very difficult to see the legitimacy of war. People resolve to
fight for their country – their county's sovereignty – but at what cost? After the outbreak of WWI
and WWII, war will begin to be condemned by the nations of the world. Simply enough, the impact
war makes on a society is too great for any benefits gained as a result of the conflict. The post–
world war age became one where a generation of individuals – those who were unfortunate enough
to be in the conflict, were completely decimated – if not physically, then perhaps mentally.
However, the medical field in the early to middle portion of the 20th century was not as developed
as in the modern age and symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) went unrecognized.
In The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway addresses the post–WWI era as he writes a story about a
group of comrades who are trying to find their place in the world that has a completely different
understanding of the effects of war as people today. One of the first themes that prevails in the novel
is an idea of idleness. The post–WWI era seems to have a stillness about it. The characters have no
direction to go in. They do not share any career or life aspirations with one another. While it is
assumed each character has their own motivations for their actions, these are concealed from the

originated from an important family in her hometown. Unfortunately in her infant state she was
struck with a high fever and acute congestions of the brain and stomach. This caused her to become
permanently blinded and deaf. ("Helen Adams Keller." Dictionary of American Biography by
Charles Scribner's Sons, paragraph one lines 2–4). Something to prove this is," the daughter of
Arthur H. Keller, a gentleman farmer and former captain in the Confederate army, and Kate Adams.
In her nineteenth month, she suffered a high fever that left her deaf and blind." ("Helen Adams
Keller." Dictionary of American Biography by Charles Scribner's Sons, paragraph one lines 2–4).
Do to Helen Keller's blindness, she couldn't see any

The Glass Castle Analysis
Although she may seem normal now, Jeannette Walls experienced a traumatic and abnormal
childhood which she displays in her memoir The Glass Castle. Jeannette, her two sisters, her
brother, her "mother," and her drunken father skedaddled every time the father angered someone,
forcing them to leave (which was quite often). This book displays semi perfect description and
character developments; however, these weighed down by the possibly invalid information. The
Walls family lived in a total of nine different places. Throughout the book, the family lacked money
so they resorted to sleeping in boxes or living in decaying homes as if they were homeless, though
their mother always swore they were not. Their lack of money was because their father could rarely
keep a job, and when the mother had a job (a rarity and a pain for Jeannette and her siblings), the
father stole all her income to buy booze. The development of the characters changed at an
inconsistent rate throughout the memoir. Some of the characters who changed immensely were
Jeannette and Maureen. Jeannette's most drastic change was her attitude towards her parents. At the
beginning, Jeannette was sympathetic towards her mother and father, but throughout the book, she
became increasingly fed up with their games. Near the end, she states "I think that maybe
sometimes people get the lives they want" (256). This is her way of saying that her parents choose
to live in poverty without jobs, but she knows she doesn't want to

Analysis Of A Good Man Is Hard To Find
It was first published in 1953 in the anthology The Avon Book of Modern Writing. In 1960, it was
collected in the anthology The House of Fiction, published by Charles Scribner's Sons. "A Good

finding out that her man was cheating on her (Kirk).
Bailey the father wants to take his family on a vacation from Georgi to Florida, while the
"grandmother" his mother want to take a trip to East Tennessee to connect/ visit friends. To persuade
her son to follow her wishes she works to change his mind with a news article about states there is
an escaped murderer from the Federal Pen that calls himself "The Misfit" heading towards Florida
and she points out what he did to people all while "She argues that his children, John Wesley and
June Star, have never been to East Tennessee." The grandmother is labeled as "Arrogant,
hypocritical, manipulative and interfering, but she has no name throughout the story like the wife
and baby" (Kirk).
Throughout the trip the grandmother rambles on about the past how children had respect for their
elders and people respected each other, her youth, and her past maiden courtship with Mr. Edgar
Atkins Teagarden "E.A.T" and his Saturday watermelons with his initials carved into them. During
the trip they make a lunch stop at a rundown gas station "The Towers" where you will find "RED
SAMMY'S FAMOUS BARBACUE", "THE FAT BOY WITH THE HAPPY LAUGH" run by Red
Sammy Butts and his wife outside of Timothy, Georgia. The family has their lunch and grandmother
finds a listening agreeable ear about how much better their past was compared to these days.
Following lunch, the family is back on the road headed home; where the family pasts a closed–in
small family cemetery that belongs to a long–gone plantation, where the grandmother begins to
manipulate the family especially the children into wanting to go see the plantation house by lying
and telling a story of a hideaway room behind secret panels within the walls of

Women's Role Of Women And Women In The Igbo Culture
Women have always been partly equal to men in pre colonial Nigeria, having equal but separate
roles politically and shared authority in the home. Colonialism changed this form of life of the Igbo
culture by imposing Christianity and the idea of the man being the head of the village and the
women inferior. Women were also stripped of their rights to have or not have children and forced to
be in abusive arranged marriages. Colonialism then ended because the natives felt that self–
determination had to replace colonialism and the colonizing nations were bankrupt from World War
I resulting in small investment to the colonies. Decolonization was not an effortless trouble, but
rather arduous and extensive, especially to women's rights. Women's roles in the Igbo culture
changed drastically from equal, to less than men and to struggling to get by in each stage of
colonialism within the work force, family and rights. To begin with, women were considered equal
but separate to men in the workforce, containing their own political meetings and having a large
influence within the commerce of crops within each village. "Ibo women still wielded considerable
influence both within their marriages and within the larger community. Women, for example, were a
major force in the society's agrarian economy: they planted their own crops, sold their crop surplus
(as well as that of their husbands), and exerted exclusive control over the operation and management
