The War Rule Of The 1870 's And 1920 ' S
It all took place between the 1870 's and 1920 's. Home rule was a huge part of the political life in Ireland, which meant that the Irish Parliament
would be restored for most issues, but the British government would still cover many important areas (Conflict 3). The term Government Association
started to be used very frequently; Isaac Butt was the gentleman who founded this association. In 1873 this became known as the Home Rule League
and in 1874 a general election was held where fifty home rulers were elected to the Home Rule party also known as the Irish Parliamentary Party
(Irish 29). Butts ' goal was to get both Protestants and Catholics to support Home Rule as a movement targeted towards giving Ireland a federal
government within the United Kingdom. Butt was not an aggressive leader and the people of Ireland did not feel he was fulfilling his job completely.
A man by the name of Charles Stewart Parnell challenged Butt and became the leader in 1880 (Charles17). The British people began to think that the
Home Rule would lead to the separation of Ireland and Britain. Parnell realized that the people did not like the British Rule and this is what caused
them to support Irish nationalism. In 1880 Parnell won the support of the Fenians and the Irish Republican brotherhood that wanted total separation
but were willing to compromise and accept Home Rule. In 1881 the second Land Act gave the "Three F 's" which the Land League had demanded.

Nuestra Familia Essay
A gang is an organized group with a recognized leader whose activities are either criminal or, at the very least, threatening to the community. (Walker,
2011) Throughout history there have been some infamous gangs that have gotten media attention and others that have gone under the radar. One of the
more underground gang structures are prison gangs. The Nuestra Familia may not be in the news as much anymore compared to other gangs, but they
are nothing to be taken lightly. Prison gangs have been around since the late 20th century and only seem to be getting stronger if nothing is going to be
done to prevent them. Gangs in prison have members in and out of prison. One of the more popular gangs that has been gaining steam recently is ...

(NF 2011) This divide proved to be an igniter of the gang war between the Mexican Mafia and Nuestra Familia.
The newly formed Nuestra Familia engaged in prison war against the Mexican Mafia throughout the 70's until the later 1970's when a formal divide
was acknowledged between the gangs. After the formal divide Nuestra Familia began making allies with other Californian Prison gangs like the Black
Guerilla family to defeat a common enemy, The Mexican Mafia. On the other side the Mexican Mafia teamed up with the Aryan Brotherhood to combat
the newly formed Nuestra Familia and Black Guerilla Family alliance. In order for the Nuestra Familia to gain power in the prisons it has to control the
contraband coming in and out of prison. This is where the foot soldiers, the NorteГ±os, came in handy. NorteГ±os is a Spanish term for northerners.
(Gangland, 2008) The NorteГ±os operated under leadership from the Nuestra Familia members in prison. The NorteГ±os used the trafficking of drugs
like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine to gain currency. They also had successful prostitution and identity theft rings to sustain their
dominance in northern California. This held true, the power of the Nuestra Familia has infinitely grown since its beginning in the 60's.
The Nuestra Familia kept gaining power until the institution of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act (RICO).

Diabolical Characterization In The Open Boat
In the Open Boat by Stephen Crane, the correspondent's seems to show a change through his nature of being a cynical man from the beginning of the
story to the changed man he becomes toward the end. I believe this change was caused by the brotherhood that was formed between the four men
along with the situation of them being lost at sea, which caused him to change and grow as a character. I will support this claim with both textual
evidence from the story and my own character analysis of the character.
In the beginning of the Open Boat, the correspondent is portrayed as a hard–bitten character that has seen it all, and believes that no joy can be found
in the world. This is hinted in the brief introduction of his character that Crane gives us, "The correspondent, pulling at the other oar, watched the
waves and wondered why he was there." (Crane 1048). We meet this character when he is rowing the boat, something he complains about doing and
is shown to detest. "The correspondent wondered ingenuously how in the name of all that was sane could there be people who thought it amusing to
row a boat. It was not an amusement; it was a diabolical punishment" (Crane 1052). What the others viewed as a small form of amusement, The

Analysis Of The Poem ' The Yacoubian Building '
The Yacoubian Building, like many novels in the vein of historical fiction, contextualizes factual events through characterization and symbolism. Set in
post–Nasser modern Egypt, the reader is introduced to a number of characters – a wealthy, promiscuous engineer; a young woman down on her luck; a
boy turned quickly to fundamentalist attitudes just to name a few. These characters and their escapades provide more than just entertainment for the
reader, however. Al–Aswany uses the characters in his novel to illuminate the psychological, social, and emotional effects of Egyptian political history.
Much like liberal Egypt, Nasser's reign and the Arab Socialist movement was filled with idealism and promise, both of which gave way to corruption
and greed. One can easily find economic statistics or political articles detailing the objective inadequacies of Nasser, Sadat, and their successors.
Al–Aswany brings a different, equally valuable narrative. This novel fills in the gaps of objective and factual histories, allowing the reader to
understand the personal and emotional response to seminal events in Egyptian history. The personal truly is the political, and The Yacoubian Building
exemplifies that statement. Before discussing the characters and their roles, one must first look at the setting. The vast majority of the novel takes
place in the actual Yacoubian Building, the former paramount of Egyptian liberalism. "The cream of society of those days took up residence in the

The Social Gospel Moverment
The Social Gospel The Social Gospel is the idea of social problems being looked and fixed with a Christian point of view. The Gospel will always stay
the same and we should refer the Social Gospel as living out the Gospel. The goal of the Social Gospel Movement was to tie salvation and good work
together. They thought people should live the life of a Jesus Christ. Classes, counseling, job training and libraries were provided by churches to act
according to the Social Gospel. The origins and issues of the Social Gospel Movement, how the Social Gospel related to a Progressive Era, the work of
Walter Rauschenbusch, and how Social Gospel relates to the Gospel will be covered in this essay. The Social Gospel started in the early twentieth
century as an intellectual movement. The purpose was to live out The Lord's Prayer during our day to day lives. Social Gospel applied Christian
ethics to social problems like the issues of social justice. A group of liberal Protestant progressives started the movement because they weren't
satisfied with social problems around them and they did not feel enough was being done to solve the problems. Social problems associated with rapid
industrialization, urbanization, and increasing immigration of the Gilded Age were the primary concern. The concept of a society that respects
elements of justice is called social justice. Social justice is usually applied to the

Between the years of 1856 and 1870, the Fenians organized an uprising in Ireland with invasions in British cities and outbreaks in Canada (de Nie). The

A generation of Catholic men of modest origins in society, succeeded in gathered a conspiracy to undermine the British rule in Ireland (Garvin 471).
Those who rebelled wanted to conserve the social evils that generated the revolution to survive politically. Living in horrendous stress due to the
economy, the Irish decided to act on their anger. Leaving during the famine 1 million people sought a new and richer life in the United States. While
the economic depression was occurring another 2 million people left to seek this new life. With the mass emigration the culture of Ireland was
deteriorating. James Stephens, the IRB (Irish Republican Brotherhood) leader of the 1860's thought the famine also ruined the hope of an Irish

Due to the poor law system, the Irish people weren't pleased with their government and also with the trading system. With the bad economy the Irish

Separation between the two was necessary to allow the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood to maintain its control over social services and spreading

the Minister of the Interior, that included the Memorandums of Association, and a list of the founding member names that fulfill the conditions

roles in what he becomes a part of. When he goes to the college, he leads a white trustee around, which seems like a big honor and he is the one that
receives this. Which leads to him realizing that it was not about him, it was about making a good impression for the college. When he enters the
brotherhood it's not about him, the brotherhood uses him to wreck havoc. This is what his identity becomes based on starting with the briefcase and
setting up how other people in the book use him throughout. The briefcase sets up his future throughout the book.

The Black Guerilla Family
It seems only fitting after exploring the violent exploits of the Aryan Brotherhood, that the next gang to be evaluated is that of the Black Guerilla
Family (a sworn enemy of the Aryan Brotherhood). A man named George Jackson initially founded this dangerous gang in 1966 while in the
California prison system (Streetgang#1, 2009). It was initially comprised of members from some other gangs that were present during that time
(Streetgang#1, 2009). This gangs is profiled to be the most politically oriented of all of the major prison gangs within the United States and at its core
are said to be Marxist, Leninist and Maoist beliefs (gangs#1, 2011). One of the gang's main goals, which conform to these beliefs, is their wish to
overthrow the United States government, while eliminating racism in the process (gangs#1, 2011). When it comes to geographic coverage of the Black
Guerilla Family, they are most prevalent on both the East and West coasts of the United States, with smaller groups scattered throughout the rest of the
country (gangs#1, 2011). Throughout the 1990s the gang's membership numbers and recruitment began to dwindle, however as of recent years has

proved to be too strong and unwavering. The Fenian Brotherhood approached the problem from a different side by attacking British colonies in

This sector included private mosques, Islamic voluntary associations, as well is Islamic for–profit commercial enterprises (Wickham, 97). The
financing of such associations came mainly through religious charity, Zakat, and was able to provide, at the local level, public goods and services that
the state failed to provide, such as schooling, day–care, and health clinics (Wickham, 99). The regime tolerated this sector because it did not pose a
threat to it, and due to its contribution to social stability in poor neighborhoods (Wickham, 104). The regime's tolerance toward Islamic groups in the
mid–1970s, gave rise to the 'new generations' of Islamists, who would later form part of the leadership of both militant and reformist sections of the

Aryan Brotherhood Characteristics
While representation varies based on individual preferences, the general sign of the Aryan Brotherhood comes in the form of a shamrock, the letters
"AB", or three sixes. Members of the prison gang will generally have these symbols tattooed somewhere on their body. Only members of the AB are
permitted to wear the "brand" of the gang and individuals found to be wearing the tattoo without consent of AB leadership are subject to death (Diaz,
2013).
Leadership within the organization is scattered due to the prison subculture that hosts the group. While there is no outright "commander" of the Aryan

Dr Bledsoe's Office Ralph Ellison Analysis
When the narrator enters into Mr. Emerson's office, he is immediately aware of the furnishings and decorations in the office. The narrator perceives
Mr. Emerson's office "like a museum", where ebony pedestals, paintings, bronzes, and tapestries are all arranged along the room (Ellison 180). As
the narrator takes a seat in the room, he recalls the juxtaposition between the college museum and Mr. Emerson's office where he revives memories
of the "few cracked relics from slavery times" (Ellison 181). In Dr. Bledsoe's office, pieces such as "an iron pot, an ancient bell, a set of ankle–irons

Together, the museums from the college, trustee offices, and the woman's apartment act as an effective method to convey the narrator's views of power
and how others duped him into thinking differently from what he believed. Often the narrator is not allowed to view the museum settings he
encounters without the preconceived ideas from others like Dr. Bledsoe and the Brotherhood, which together impacts the narrator's thoughts on his
own invisibility. The narrator's preconceived notion of power and success is what really draws the narrator to form his observations in the museum
settings. Without these elements from the museums, portions of the narrator's narrative towards his path of disillusionment would be incomplete. The
museum setting collectively showcases the narrator's thoughts on his perception of power and authority. Therefore, from Ellison's various influences

Gangs in Prison Essay
Introduction
Prison gangs are originally formed by inmates as a way of protecting themselves from the other inmates. These gangs have turned out to be violent and
thus posing a threat to security. This paper will have a look at the different gangs in prisons, their history, beliefs and missions, and the differences and
similarities in these gangs.
The Aryan Brotherhood
The Aryan Brotherhood started in 1964 was founded by Tyler Bingham and Barry Mills who were white supremacists and Irish American bikers. It
started at the San Quentin state prison. The prison group was created to protect white prisoners from the black inmates. The cause changed into revenue
when the group gained power. This gang is the most violent white supremacists ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
This group is continuously growing both in the prison and also outside the prison. It has its dominance mostly in state prisons especially the San
Quentin prison.
The Black Guerrilla Family
The Black Guerrilla Family was started in the year 1966 by W.L. Nolen, Lester Jackson, James Carr and other racist who were black in the San
Quentin state prison in California. The founders adopted the militia structure and ideology of the Symbionese Liberation Army. The gangs were
started so as to unite the black prisoners and get rid of a violent uprising. This uprising was believed to be from a racist prison administration that
was white. The gang attracted thousands black American offenders, and was listed for a number of staff assaults and the murder of Marin County
judge in 1970. Its territory is in California and some selected areas in the United States. It also has a paramilitary kind of structure. It has around
50,000 members. If one wants to join the gang, one has to be black and must be nominated by an existing member. They have a symbol of a dragon
that is attacking a gun tower of a prison. This gang is still growing in most of the American prisons with some of its members outside the confinement.

Invisible Man Analysis
In the book Invisible Man, it is based in a time period where there is somewhat of a divide between blacks and whites, and because of this lifestyle
that was created by society, the main character is caught in the crossfire. The narrator feeling invisible in this world dominated by whites, where he
feels he doesn't belong, and is frankly, invisible. The narrator goes to several different parts of the country to use what many people admire about
him, his voice. Not in a singing way but in a form of speeches which helps bring attention to some of the societal issues and that not only he has but
what many have encountered just like him along their life's journey. During his experiences in New York and finding his way, he is cut out from
certain things that tie him back to his version of home, some people, specifically Brother Jack, Mr. Norton, and Dr. Bledsoe and some experiences
made it difficult to feel like he was where he belonged, alienating him from certain realms of society. The narrator faces many struggles in the
beginning of the book that lead to the idea of exile and the fact that the narrator is perhaps, invisible. Dr. Bledsoe does a good job of manipulating the
narrator into thinking he is welcomed at the University early on. You can tell from his personality that he is only in it for himself but acts as though he
is thoughtful towards other. "You're nobody, son. You don't exist– can't you see that? The white folk tell everybody what to think – except men like
me. I tell them; that's my life, telling white folk how to think about the things I know about... But you listen to me: I didn't make it, and I know
that I can't change it. But I've made my place in it and I'll have every Negro in the country hanging on tree limbs by morning if it means staying
where I am." Sending the narrator off to New York was his manipulative way of saying you're not welcome here, and giving him seven letters was
just the icing on the cake to making finding "success" more difficult. The narrator is unable to see that Dr. Bledsoe is solely doing this for his own
benefit and is not looking at the interest of the narrator. Towards the beginning of the book, we meet a character who is very old school, and as

Death and famine were causing the people to suffer in Ireland.
Landlords were trying to find the problem to the deaths. Landlords knew exactly what to do. They evicted hundreds and thousands of peasants,
because the work was not getting done (Considine 76). Unemployment was the view of the workers due to soldiers coming home from the
Napoleonic Wars and more people were dying from disease. As the farmlands of Ireland were being cleaned out, over the period of time, emigration
increased at an excessive rate. Many Irish residents left for America and other English–speaking countries. During the famine, nearly one million people
sought a new and richer life in the United States. Ship owners crowded hundreds of Irish onto boats, later labeled "coffin ships" (Ruddy 43). These
ships reached port only after losing a third of their passengers to disease, hunger and other causes. While Britain provided much relief for Ireland's
starving population, many Irish criticized Britain's delayed response and further blamed centuries of British political oppression to underline the
causes of the famine. As depression continued in Ireland, two million more people left to seek this new life. But even leaving wasn't the cure. The

Crane's short story, The Open Boat, in order to highlight the meaning of the esoteric voice of the sea in view of man's blights and life itself. Crane's
story portrays a group of shipwrecked men in a lifeboat, drifting on the ebbs and flows of uncertainty, held at the mercies of Nature's will. Crane's

to whatever helped them float. Crane also shows how "The coldness of the water was sad; it was tragic" (Crane), indicating that staying in the
water too long would be tragic. Thus, by setting up this kind of imagery, Crane makes his reader think that the oiler was the one sure to survive
due to his vigor and rapidity, while the others would meet their fate in the cold waters. It is ironic to the reader therefore, when the exact opposite
happens: "In the shallows, face downward, lay the oiler." (Crane) The oiler had died, while the others lived. This clearly shows the inscrutable
influence of the nature's power as it interferes with life and death. Through this last bit of irony in the story, Crane gives delivers his final message to
the reader that nature will have the final say. That is why as "the white waves paced to and fro in the moonlight, and the wind brought the sound of the

Wealth In The Gilded Age During The Gilded Age
During the Gilded Age some people were becoming very wealthy and everyone had an opinion on what they should do with this wealth, also who they
should help with this money, and how much money they should give. This new wealth was not expected and along with it came opinions and
judgment of all economic classes. The opinions range from Social Darwinism, which William Graham Sumner believed in, to Andrew Carnegie's
Gospel of Wealth and to Walter Rauschenbusch's The Social Gospel. William Graham Sumner was a firm believer in Social Darwinism. Social
Darwinism is the belief in survival of the fittest, so the strongest in society are the ones who become wealthy. With this wealth Sumner believed that
the wealthy should use it to support the other classes to give them opportunity to become wealthy themselves. According to Sumner "If you get
wealth, you will have to support the other people; if you do not get wealth, it will be the duty of other people to support you."(Sumner) In this quote
Sumner is saying that no matter who the wealthy people are they will have to support the lower class and give them the chance to become wealthy.
Through his ideas of social darwinism he believes that everyone should be given an equal opportunity to become wealthy and then the strongest in
society will become wealthy. He does not believe that the wealth should stay in the already wealthy families because not every person in the family
will be the strongest in society. Along with this he says "We

The Brotherhood maneuvered their way into candidacy by working within certain parameters ensuring not to cause a notable amount of annoyance in
the political sphere. The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) believed they'd claim control once the Mubarak regime fell, however, the
Brotherhood asserted power instead. "SCAF was reluctant to relinquish power over the state" (al–Anani 2015, 533), thus the "shared" power between
the Brotherhood and SCAF was a clear indication that nothing was going to be accomplished and ultimately this would end badly. Although SCAF
promised to hand over their power, Morsi was still unable to prove legitimacy within his position as President. This was a bittersweet stage because
many Egyptians were ecstatic to see a freely elected president, however, "the Brotherhood was in power but not entirely in control of the state
apparatus. The groups failure to make the necessary transition from vocal opposition to a ruling force became evident during Morsi's tenure, as the
Brotherhood ironically embodied both identities" (al–Anani 2015, 533). The "deep state" and different approaches to Islam have without a doubt
contributed to the decline of the movement, however, there are three factors that solidified the ultimate downfall of the Brotherhood and they can be

One of the most infamous prison gangs is the Aryan Brotherhood. Few details about their earliest days are known, but they quickly became known and
feared by the 1970s. They are ruthless, dangerous, and brutal. Founded during the civil rights movement, white supremacist inmates at the San Quentin
prison created a gang of their own for protection. Over time, as their power grew, so did their criminal activity. Also known as The Brand, they are
among six major prison gangs that are recognized nationally for their participation in organized crime and violence. Like African American and Latino
groups, the Aryan Brotherhood is linked to street crime and has drawn the attention of federal prosecutors. As law enforcement continues to take down
leaders of the gang across the country, the Aryan Brotherhood will continue committing crimes, in and out of prison.

With the help of other immigrants and traditions that have been passed on, this piece of folklore has become a symbol of both Christianity and
womanhood in my family. As is tradition, my mother would give each of my sisters a Celtic cross when she made her communion. This ritual
extends beyond my immediate family due to our unusually large numbers: while my grandmother is one of eight children, both my mother and I are

each family to go much further. Since almost all of my extended family still lives in Ireland, the cross is a consoling connection to my aunts and
grandmother who have upheld the tradition. It is also a powerful example of how folklore changed and adapted from Ireland to the United States

The Reality Of Real World
With an increasing amount of technology invested in virtual reality, real life is now merging with a fictional world that can be created and
manipulated. Another manner in which the real world is capable of joining a manufactured world is through the usage of comic books. Real world
events have been and are continuously mixed up with the lives of superheroes such as when heroes were depicted fighting against Hitler and the
Nazi's in World War II. There are two main types of representations of real world events and that is through indirect representation using allegories
and metaphors and directly representing them by simply showing the incidents within the comics. Comics represent real events more efficiently
through allegories as opposed to directly having those situations intertwined within the stories because of several reasons including that it gives
readers an opportunity to reflect on certain events if they see the connection between the comic and the event. However, they are not forced to see the
reference such as when the event is clearly illustrated within the story because this would retract a reader's ability to escape from the real world to a
fictional world. One comic that has an indirect representation of current events is Marvel's Civil War. The story starts off with a group of rookie

William Armstrong. His mother tells the brother that he is feedable but "not all there", meaning that he isn't the typical boy that can run around and
play. Brother is enraged at the fact that he won't have a "playmate" and decides that he wants to suffocate William until he sees the small infant give
him a smile. The brother realizes that he isn't completely gone.
As William ages to age two, he has learned to move about and crawl around. The doctors are afraid that if he is physically active like this, it will
damage his heart. Instead of crawling, the doctors want him to "scoot" or crawl backward. With William Armstrong doing this, he earns the name
"Doodle", which is given to him by his older brother who feels that it is a much more fitting name. Doodle soon learns how to talk and feels a strong
brotherhood between his brother even though he receives tough treatment from him. As Doodle becomes older, his brother decides that he does not
want a brother who cannot walk at his age because that was embarrassing to him. The thought

  • 2. The War Rule Of The 1870 's And 1920 ' S It all took place between the 1870 's and 1920 's. Home rule was a huge part of the political life in Ireland, which meant that the Irish Parliament would be restored for most issues, but the British government would still cover many important areas (Conflict 3). The term Government Association started to be used very frequently; Isaac Butt was the gentleman who founded this association. In 1873 this became known as the Home Rule League and in 1874 a general election was held where fifty home rulers were elected to the Home Rule party also known as the Irish Parliamentary Party (Irish 29). Butts ' goal was to get both Protestants and Catholics to support Home Rule as a movement targeted towards giving Ireland a federal government within the United Kingdom. Butt was not an aggressive leader and the people of Ireland did not feel he was fulfilling his job completely. A man by the name of Charles Stewart Parnell challenged Butt and became the leader in 1880 (Charles17). The British people began to think that the Home Rule would lead to the separation of Ireland and Britain. Parnell realized that the people did not like the British Rule and this is what caused them to support Irish nationalism. In 1880 Parnell won the support of the Fenians and the Irish Republican brotherhood that wanted total separation but were willing to compromise and accept Home Rule. In 1881 the second Land Act gave the "Three F 's" which the Land League had demanded. Fair rents would be fixed by judges ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

(Walker, 2011) Throughout history there have been some infamous gangs that have gotten media attention and others that have gone under the radar. One of the more underground gang structures are prison gangs. The Nuestra Familia may not be in the news as much anymore compared to other gangs, but they are nothing to be taken lightly. Prison gangs have been around since the late 20th century and only seem to be getting stronger if nothing is going to be done to prevent them. Gangs in prison have members in and out of prison.

(NF 2011) This divide proved to be an igniter of the gang war between the Mexican Mafia and Nuestra Familia. The newly formed Nuestra Familia engaged in prison war against the Mexican Mafia throughout the 70's until the later 1970's when a formal divide was acknowledged between the gangs. After the formal divide Nuestra Familia began making allies with other Californian Prison gangs like the Black Guerilla family to defeat a common enemy, The Mexican Mafia. On the other side the Mexican Mafia teamed up with the Aryan Brotherhood to combat the newly formed Nuestra Familia and Black Guerilla Family alliance. In order for the Nuestra Familia to gain power in the prisons it has to control the contraband coming in and out of prison. This is where the foot soldiers, the NorteГ±os, came in handy. NorteГ±os is a Spanish term for northerners. (Gangland, 2008) The NorteГ±os operated under leadership from the Nuestra Familia members in prison. The NorteГ±os used the trafficking of drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine to gain currency. They also had successful prostitution and identity theft rings to sustain their dominance in northern California. This held true, the power of the Nuestra Familia has infinitely grown since its beginning in the 60's. The Nuestra Familia kept gaining power until the institution of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations act (RICO). ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Diabolical Characterization In The Open Boat In the Open Boat by Stephen Crane, the correspondent's seems to show a change through his nature of being a cynical man from the beginning of the story to the changed man he becomes toward the end. I believe this change was caused by the brotherhood that was formed between the four men along with the situation of them being lost at sea, which caused him to change and grow as a character. I will support this claim with both textual evidence from the story and my own character analysis of the character. In the beginning of the Open Boat, the correspondent is portrayed as a hard–bitten character that has seen it all, and believes that no joy can be found in the world. This is hinted in the brief introduction of his character that Crane gives us, "The correspondent, pulling at the other oar, watched the waves and wondered why he was there." (Crane 1048). We meet this character when he is rowing the boat, something he complains about doing and is shown to detest. "The correspondent wondered ingenuously how in the name of all that was sane could there be people who thought it amusing to row a boat. It was not an amusement; it was a diabolical punishment" (Crane 1052). What the others viewed as a small form of amusement, The correspondent made opposite opinion known when he compared it to "diabolical punishment", however even though the correspondent has made his hatred known for rowing.

  • 5. Analysis Of The Poem ' The Yacoubian Building ' The Yacoubian Building, like many novels in the vein of historical fiction, contextualizes factual events through characterization and symbolism. Set in post–Nasser modern Egypt, the reader is introduced to a number of characters – a wealthy, promiscuous engineer; a young woman down on her luck; a boy turned quickly to fundamentalist attitudes just to name a few. These characters and their escapades provide more than just entertainment for the reader, however. Al–Aswany uses the characters in his novel to illuminate the psychological, social, and emotional effects of Egyptian political history. Much like liberal Egypt, Nasser's reign and the Arab Socialist movement was filled with idealism and promise, both of which gave way to corruption and greed. One can easily find economic statistics or political articles detailing the objective inadequacies of Nasser, Sadat, and their successors. Al–Aswany brings a different, equally valuable narrative. This novel fills in the gaps of objective and factual histories, allowing the reader to understand the personal and emotional response to seminal events in Egyptian history. The personal truly is the political, and The Yacoubian Building exemplifies that statement. Before discussing the characters and their roles, one must first look at the setting. The vast majority of the novel takes place in the actual Yacoubian Building, the former paramount of Egyptian liberalism. "The cream of society of those days took up residence in the ...

  • 6. The Social Gospel Moverment The Social Gospel The Social Gospel is the idea of social problems being looked and fixed with a Christian point of view. The Gospel will always stay the same and we should refer the Social Gospel as living out the Gospel. The goal of the Social Gospel Movement was to tie salvation and good work together. They thought people should live the life of a Jesus Christ. Classes, counseling, job training and libraries were provided by churches to act according to the Social Gospel. The origins and issues of the Social Gospel Movement, how the Social Gospel related to a Progressive Era, the work of Walter Rauschenbusch, and how Social Gospel relates to the Gospel will be covered in this essay. The Social Gospel started in the early twentieth century as an intellectual movement. The purpose was to live out The Lord's Prayer during our day to day lives. Social Gospel applied Christian ethics to social problems like the issues of social justice. A group of liberal Protestant progressives started the movement because they weren't satisfied with social problems around them and they did not feel enough was being done to solve the problems. Social problems associated with rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing immigration of the Gilded Age were the primary concern. The concept of a society that respects elements of justice is called social justice. Social justice is usually applied to the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

He did it, to relieve stress. Everyone within ear–shod, could relate to it. We all wanted to howl sometimes. Wolf, myself, Sergeant Bosworth and Claude Von Plueren of hung out together after work. To relieve stress, we'd tell stories and drink a few beers. Wolf liked to laugh a lot and he admired Sergeant Bosworth. In his early twenties, and fresh out of the military, Wolf stood tall and as skinny as a rail. His broken front tooth, was his most identifying feature.

I couldn't hear what they were saying, but it looked ugly. A few seconds later, Bender shoulder butted Wolf and knocked him backwards. Bender threw a couple of punches at Wolf, but most of them just grazed his shoulders. Officer Shayne Richards and I, pushed our way past a dozen inmates to get between Bender and Wolf. Wolf stepped backwards and called a 10 –5 (emergency) over his radio. Staff responded, and all the inmates were forced into their cells. We all wrote memorandums about the incident, and Bender was placed in 5C lockup for striking Wolf. The rest of the Aryans were furious, and that fury was directed at "Wolf." A rumor quickly spread that Bender might get charged for assaulting Wolf. Nine days after the assault, Wolf wrote a new memorandum. In his report, he stated that Bender had NOT assaulted him but he was guilty of "creating a disturbance." After that, I began to notice that Wolf wasn't around anymore. I hadn't seen him since the altercation with Bender. I figured Wolf might have taken vacation. Wolf rarely missed work. He lived for that danger crap. Then one day, a big white inmate walks up to me on one of the tiers. The guy was shirtless and I could see the tattoo of a huge bat on his back. The bat drawing covered his "whole" back! I will never forget that tattoo.

  • 9. Essay on Ireland Strikes Back Ireland Strikes Back A movement was started in Ireland to regain home rule. This movement was started in 1858 by a secret revolutionary society known as the Fenian Brotherhood. This group was created to help solve the crises of the potato famine, the poor government, and the ongoing problems with the church. Between the years of 1856 and 1870, the Fenians organized an uprising in Ireland with invasions in British cities and outbreaks in Canada (de Nie). The goal of this society was to achieve independence from England by using force. This revolution would be successful if certain groups in the society were strong.

A generation of Catholic men of modest origins in society, succeeded in gathered a conspiracy to undermine the British rule in Ireland (Garvin 471). Those who rebelled wanted to conserve the social evils that generated the revolution to survive politically. Living in horrendous stress due to the economy, the Irish decided to act on their anger. Leaving during the famine 1 million people sought a new and richer life in the United States. While the economic depression was occurring another 2 million people left to seek this new life. With the mass emigration the culture of Ireland was deteriorating. James Stephens, the IRB (Irish Republican Brotherhood) leader of the 1860's thought the famine also ruined the hope of an Irish political revolution. Patrick Pearse was afraid that if the nation died the Irish would turn away from their Gaelic traditions (Garvin 474). Due to the poor law system, the Irish people weren't pleased with their government and also with the trading system. With the bad economy the Irish thought that if they separated from Great Britain that they will achieve more as an independent country. The Irish Parliament, through corrupt practices, kept the British interest to unite Protestants and Catholics against the corrupt legislature.

  • 10. The Muslim Brotherhood And Islamic Action Front At the same time, for the purpose of using the democratic process as a strategy to implement Shari'a law, the Muslim Brotherhood named its political arm as the Islamic Action Front. Both the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic Action Front share a similar base of support and membership. Separation between the two was necessary to allow the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood to maintain its control over social services and spreading dawa'a, while on the other hand provide the Islamic Action Front with the platform to establish a political agenda. Upon submitting the application to the Minister of the Interior, that included the Memorandums of Association, and a list of the founding member names that fulfill the conditions specified by article Five of the Political Parties Law, in December 1992, the Islamic Action Front was officially licensed as a political party. In total, the founding members of the Islamic Action Front consisted of three hundred forty–two "older, established males" and only eleven women. Demographics show a trend of disproportionality between the founding membership and the overall population of Jordan. At the time the Islamic Action Front movement was established, half the population of Jordan was under the age of sixteen. But, out of the three hundred fifty–three founders, "33 percent were professionals, 51 percent were civil servants, and 10 percent were businessmen.

Ellison uses Invisible Man's (IM's) briefcase as a symbol of oppression throughout the novel, while he uses the briefcase to contrast IM's sense of self–empowerment and his actuality of being used and controlled. Right after the invisible man's story starts, he receives a briefcase after he is forced to participate in a fight.

He made a speech as a ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... This gives the briefcase meaning, although superficial, but because he got it out of a troublesome situation for himself and kept it to define himself and how he will act starts off his self–discovery in a negative light. The briefcase started a pattern of the Invisible man having supposed important roles in what he becomes a part of. When he goes to the college, he leads a white trustee around, which seems like a big honor and he is the one that receives this. Which leads to him realizing that it was not about him, it was about making a good impression for the college. When he enters the brotherhood it's not about him, the brotherhood uses him to wreck havoc. This is what his identity becomes based on starting with the briefcase and setting up how other people in the book use him throughout. The briefcase sets up his future throughout the book. Similarly, later on in the book when he acquires the doll that Clifton was doing a puppet show with he keeps it, resulting in a further attachment to pieces that seem to give him significance or identity. This doll connects the invisible man to Clifton, one of his best friends from the brotherhood. When the IM gets the doll he sees Clifton is performing with them after he left the brotherhood he goes to crush the doll because he is upset with what he has done but an old lady stops him and he takes the doll.

When it comes to geographic coverage of the Black Guerilla Family, they are most prevalent on both the East and West coasts of the United States, with smaller groups scattered throughout the rest of the country (gangs#1, 2011).

During that time many Irish people doubted a rebellion in their own country could be successful, because the British military proved to be too strong and unwavering. The Fenian Brotherhood approached the problem from a different side by attacking British colonies in Canada in order to pressure Great Britain into releasing its claim on Ireland.

This sector included private mosques, Islamic voluntary associations, as well is Islamic for–profit commercial enterprises (Wickham, 97). The financing of such associations came mainly through religious charity, Zakat, and was able to provide, at the local level, public goods and services that the state failed to provide, such as schooling, day–care, and health clinics (Wickham, 99). The regime tolerated this sector because it did not pose a threat to it, and due to its contribution to social stability in poor neighborhoods (Wickham, 104). The regime's tolerance toward Islamic groups in the mid–1970s, gave rise to the 'new generations' of Islamists, who would later form part of the leadership of both militant and reformist sections of the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as other Islamic groups (Wickham, 117). This indicates that the success of the MB in mobilizing public support was in great part because they offered an alternative to the state's failure in providing the services it was supposed to, and not necessarily due to the belief in the political agenda of the MB.

She did not seem cruel to him then, nor beneficent, nor treacherous, nor wise. But she was indifferent, flatly indifferent."(Crane). This nonchalant aspect of nature dominates Stephen Crane's short story, The Open Boat, in order to highlight the meaning of the esoteric voice of the sea in view of man's blights and life itself. Crane's story portrays a group of shipwrecked men in a lifeboat, drifting on the ebbs and flows of uncertainty, held at the mercies of Nature's will. Crane's usage of profound figurative language and ominous imagery work to convey a message of man's insignificant presence and yet most illuminating perseverance ...

Here, Crane portrays the oiler, "swimming strongly and rapidly" (Crane) towards the shore, while the other men lingered behind, holding on to whatever helped them float. Crane also shows how "The coldness of the water was sad; it was tragic" (Crane), indicating that staying in the water too long would be tragic. Thus, by setting up this kind of imagery, Crane makes his reader think that the oiler was the one sure to survive due to his vigor and rapidity, while the others would meet their fate in the cold waters. It is ironic to the reader therefore, when the exact opposite happens: "In the shallows, face downward, lay the oiler." (Crane) The oiler had died, while the others lived. This clearly shows the inscrutable influence of the nature's power as it interferes with life and death. Through this last bit of irony in the story, Crane gives delivers his final message to the reader that nature will have the final say. That is why as "the white waves paced to and fro in the moonlight, and the wind brought the sound of the great sea's voice to the men on shore," Crane enables his readers to feel along with the crew "that they could then be interpreters" (Crane). It is just "indifferent, flatly indifferent" ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 32. Wealth In The Gilded Age During The Gilded Age During the Gilded Age some people were becoming very wealthy and everyone had an opinion on what they should do with this wealth, also who they should help with this money, and how much money they should give. This new wealth was not expected and along with it came opinions and judgment of all economic classes. The opinions range from Social Darwinism, which William Graham Sumner believed in, to Andrew Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth and to Walter Rauschenbusch's The Social Gospel. William Graham Sumner was a firm believer in Social Darwinism. Social Darwinism is the belief in survival of the fittest, so the strongest in society are the ones who become wealthy. With this wealth Sumner believed that the wealthy should use it to support the other classes to give them opportunity to become wealthy themselves. According to Sumner "If you get wealth, you will have to support the other people; if you do not get wealth, it will be the duty of other people to support you."(Sumner) In this quote Sumner is saying that no matter who the wealthy people are they will have to support the lower class and give them the chance to become wealthy. Through his ideas of social darwinism he believes that everyone should be given an equal opportunity to become wealthy and then the strongest in society will become wealthy. He does not believe that the wealth should stay in the already wealthy families because not every person in the family will be the strongest in society. Along with this he says "We ...

In addition, other Islamists began to enter into the political realm and establish their own distinct political organizations. Shortly after, the group establishes the Freedom and Justice Party in 2011 and, "proceeded to win approximately 47% of parliamentary seats in the 2011/12 elections" (al–Anani 2015, 530).

The Brotherhood maneuvered their way into candidacy by working within certain parameters ensuring not to cause a notable amount of annoyance in the political sphere. The Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) believed they'd claim control once the Mubarak regime fell, however, the Brotherhood asserted power instead. "SCAF was reluctant to relinquish power over the state" (al–Anani 2015, 533), thus the "shared" power between the Brotherhood and SCAF was a clear indication that nothing was going to be accomplished and ultimately this would end badly. Although SCAF promised to hand over their power, Morsi was still unable to prove legitimacy within his position as President. This was a bittersweet stage because many Egyptians were ecstatic to see a freely elected president, however, "the Brotherhood was in power but not entirely in control of the state apparatus. The groups failure to make the necessary transition from vocal opposition to a ruling force became evident during Morsi's tenure, as the Brotherhood ironically embodied both identities" (al–Anani 2015, 533). The "deep state" and different approaches to Islam have without a doubt contributed to the decline of the movement, however, there are three factors that solidified the ultimate downfall of the Brotherhood and they can be explained in order to make sense of how this crash and burn inevitably occurred.

  • 35. Compare and Contrast: Frankenstein and Invisible Man Sometimes the determination of one to achieve his goals and dreams causes him to walk over the feelings or goal of another, making a person fall victim to the other person's desires. Through themes such as hatred, betrayal, and revenge, two pieces of literature, Invisible Man written by Ralph Ellison, and Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, support this statement to the fullest extent.

  • 36. The Brotherhood : The Aryan Brotherhood Essay One of the most infamous prison gangs is the Aryan Brotherhood. Few details about their earliest days are known, but they quickly became known and feared by the 1970s. They are ruthless, dangerous, and brutal. Founded during the civil rights movement, white supremacist inmates at the San Quentin prison created a gang of their own for protection. Over time, as their power grew, so did their criminal activity. Also known as The Brand, they are among six major prison gangs that are recognized nationally for their participation in organized crime and violence. Like African American and Latino groups, the Aryan Brotherhood is linked to street crime and has drawn the attention of federal prosecutors. As law enforcement continues to take down leaders of the gang across the country, the Aryan Brotherhood will continue committing crimes, in and out of prison. Among several of the most dangerous prison gangs, one in particular stands out compared to the rest; the Aryan Brotherhood. The Aryan Brotherhood may not be as well known as other prison gangs, such as the Black Guerrilla Family, the Mexican Mafia, or La Nuestra Familia, but their brutal, ruthless, and vicious acts and beliefs have made them one of the most feared. Also known as The Brand, this group of criminals has developed from a courtyard prison gang to an international criminal organization, which quickly put them on the FBI's radar.

In the book, Invisible Man, The nameless narrator started off bound for greatness and then as the novel continued he to be challenged with obstacles as he discovered his true self. Through these obstacles he was pushed farther and farther away from the places he learned to call home and had to forget everything he knew to survive. As a young black men the narrator stayed very true to who he was and wished to be a very successful scholar. He got a scholarship for an African American college and was lucky enough to be able to go; however, halfway through his schooling due to power hungry and egotistical Dr. Bledsoe, the narrator was expelled because he showed one of the school founders around dirtier parts of town. This college was a place the narrator considered home and was exiled from it leaving him with only 50 dollars and envelopes filled with false hope.

  • 39. How Celtic Folkore has Influenced My Family Essay Every family has a unique background that influences the way they live and interact with other people. My parents, who emigrated from Ireland to the States with my three brothers in 1989, brought over their own Celtic folklore and traditions that have helped shaped the way our family operates and lives. One aspect of folklore that has helped shape my family dynamic is the Celtic cross–both its background and what role it has played in our lives. The Celtic cross has an extensive history in relation to Ireland, but it has a simplistic meaning in my family. The Legend of Finn MacCoul is another piece of folklore that has a different– but no less important– meaning in my family than its origins in Ireland. Although this story has been around... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... With the help of other immigrants and traditions that have been passed on, this piece of folklore has become a symbol of both Christianity and womanhood in my family. As is tradition, my mother would give each of my sisters a Celtic cross when she made her communion. This ritual extends beyond my immediate family due to our unusually large numbers: while my grandmother is one of eight children, both my mother and I are one of nine. While these strange familial patterns have never been properly explained, they have created a great way for the bond of the women in each family to go much further. Since almost all of my extended family still lives in Ireland, the cross is a consoling connection to my aunts and grandmother who have upheld the tradition. It is also a powerful example of how folklore changed and adapted from Ireland to the United States (particularly to my family). Both this and the giving of the Celtic cross have created a significant tradition that we were able to maintain when we came to the United States. Although "the Celtic cross became fashionable as a cemetery marker in Victorian Dublin around the 1860s," it is still an important part of my religious and familial life (Thuente, 56). It has become an unspoken bond between the women in my family–a bond that is much appreciated with six brothers in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 40. The Reality Of Real World With an increasing amount of technology invested in virtual reality, real life is now merging with a fictional world that can be created and manipulated. Another manner in which the real world is capable of joining a manufactured world is through the usage of comic books. Real world events have been and are continuously mixed up with the lives of superheroes such as when heroes were depicted fighting against Hitler and the Nazi's in World War II. There are two main types of representations of real world events and that is through indirect representation using allegories and metaphors and directly representing them by simply showing the incidents within the comics. Comics represent real events more efficiently through allegories as opposed to directly having those situations intertwined within the stories because of several reasons including that it gives readers an opportunity to reflect on certain events if they see the connection between the comic and the event. However, they are not forced to see the reference such as when the event is clearly illustrated within the story because this would retract a reader's ability to escape from the real world to a fictional world. One comic that has an indirect representation of current events is Marvel's Civil War. The story starts off with a group of rookie superheroes that are attempting to capture some villains. Resulting from the clash, there is a large explosion that causes large amounts of casualties including civilian ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 41. A Short Story Of The Scarlet Ibis By James Hurst The Scarlet Ibis is a short story written by James Hurst and was published in July of 1960. This tragedy is placed at the time of the civil war when a boy tells the story of his brother coming into this world. His brother was born very small and unhealthy, leading his parents to think that he will not survive for very long. But the aunt disagrees and the baby proves her right. Once the baby is three months, the mother and father decide to name him William Armstrong. His mother tells the brother that he is feedable but "not all there", meaning that he isn't the typical boy that can run around and play. Brother is enraged at the fact that he won't have a "playmate" and decides that he wants to suffocate William until he sees the small infant give him a smile. The brother realizes that he isn't completely gone. As William ages to age two, he has learned to move about and crawl around. The doctors are afraid that if he is physically active like this, it will damage his heart. Instead of crawling, the doctors want him to "scoot" or crawl backward. With William Armstrong doing this, he earns the name "Doodle", which is given to him by his older brother who feels that it is a much more fitting name. Doodle soon learns how to talk and feels a strong brotherhood between his brother even though he receives tough treatment from him.
