Hearing about slaves is terrifying and is something. John W. Blassingame seems to be a great author but by reading only one book about him does not give me a full description about him. I really do not read a lot, and I do not have a favorite author. But one thing I know is that it would not be someone who writes about slaves, even though not all authors are against slavery. I do not like to get reminded of how dark and terrible slaves spent their pure life suffering by their cruel punishments like whipping or getting killed to stop the problem right away.
On the other hand, representations 1 and 3 tend to lack in this specific detail. For example, representation 2 uses a specific example to support the information it gives in the subject of police payment: “A constable in Northamptonshire protested in 1880 that his pay was less than a farm labourer...” Therefore, these details make the source more detailed and therefore more accurate and complete in its portrayal of the effectiveness of policing late Victorian Britain. Conversely, representation 1 lacks in specific examples, meaning it is less detailed than representation 2. Also, representation 3 is a cartoon, therefore probably has little fact inherent in its representation. Also, it may probably also be a purely fictional account of police work, and therefore has much less fact or details to it compared to representation 2.
So that when he does, he can understand the book better. That is one of the things that Their Eyes were Watching God lacked, making it a good story, but not a great book. One instance proven by Wright is when he says, “Turpin’s faults as a writer are those of an honest man trying desperately to say something; but Zora Neale Hurston lacks even that excuse. The sensory sweep of her novel carries no theme, no message, no thought”( ¶ #5). When he says there is “no thought” he means that there is nothing in the book that makes the reader think.
Manchester clearly did little, if no research, and only picked anecdotes that fulfilled what he thought the medieval times were like. The assertions that he has given throughout the book seem as if he wrote it as some sort of parody, more suited for a Monty Python movie than something might be called history. One of the many mistakes which took part in writing this book was when Manchester says "the medieval man's lack of self-ego" (page 21). If men in the medieval times had such a lack in self-ego then why would there be so many knights and men risking their life’s if not for having a big
He has shown this throughout the novel by showing how Curley’s wife was ignored by the men, how Crooks was discriminated against because of the color of his skin, and how Lennie ultimately died because no one understood him. John Steinbeck masterfully used symbolism to reflect society during the 1930’s. Because of this novel we get a true view on how life was during this time. He had a true realist perspective and it unquestionably was evident throughout the novel. Even in today’s society, though, the message that Steinbeck wished to display would have been seen as applicable.
Despite this, the two mockingbird figures, one being very, very white (‘Boo’ Radley) and the other being extremely ‘velvety’ dark (Tom Robinson) are not part of the normal society in Maycomb. This does not mean that they are bad, but just that the people in Maycomb focus much of what they think on the surface of the person. This can be related to Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’, in which people base what they think on what they see. Frankenstein is also a normal being, but has been rejected by society because of his external features, just like the two ‘mockingbirds’ in To Kill A Mockingbird. All of these characters are kind beings and as can be seen by Tom in the courthouse he ‘felt right sorry’ for Miss Mayella.
In A Christmas Carol, Dickens deliberately and defiantly comments on the society which was 19thCentury England. As his own life gives context to his commentary, Dickens discusses what he sees as the moral and social imperatives of the time. As the two are inextricably bound both are addressed in an attempt to bring about the change he argues is necessary of an empathetic and just society. The inequity between the rich and the poor and societies ignorance in sight of this lack of social justice is central to this novella. The novella starts with Scrooge being a cold hearted, bitter old man, that has no care what so ever with the poor.
This has made me see the story differently. Lennie was not the character to feel sorry for in this novella. It was Crooks. Candy was not the character to feel bad for because his hand and his dog. It was Crooks because he has a crooked spine and he lost his equality.
A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens A Christmas carol is a novella written by Charles Dickens during the Victorian times in London. It is said that the author throughout the “novella” shows how people can change by having the opportunity to think over their own actions. Moreover, Dickens shows that personal greed leads to loneliness, while kindness and generosity lead to personal happiness. Last but not least, the writer deals with the concepts of charity, family and money as moral messages. To start with, in the story, Ebenezer Scrooge has no feelings towards his family or acquaintances and holds a strictly professional relationship with them, creating a hostile bond between them.
Misspellings and grammatical errors fill Jefferson’s diary, but they do nothing to detract from the sophistication of his thoughts and the bravery and sadness that comes through in his writing. In some ways, Jefferson’s writing seems superior to Grant’s. We know Grant’s writing intimately; he narrates the novel except for this chapter. Although Grant writes intelligent, affecting prose, he does not match the unembarrassed expression of emotion that comes through in Jefferson’s writing. Neither does he match Jefferson’s lyricism, especially in the last few lines of the diary, in which Jefferson notes the bluebird singing and the blue sky in the last few hours before his
