In the poem “Freedom” by James Kavanaugh, the fact that humans don’t want to be free due to the requirements of freedom is reflected in “Taming of The Shrew” through having the poem’s main points being compared to the events involving Katherine’s struggle for freedom and individuality. Kavanaugh is not giving freedom a negative image, but he is simply laying down how one needs to be in order to maintain freedom. An individual usually doesn’t “want freedom”, but rather “he only talks of it” because freedom requires certain qualities and has results that most would not want. The qualities because of this seem unfavorable, so the only thing men can do is talk about freedom. In terms of the requirements of freedom, man would rather “choose his slavery and pay it homage”.
I argue that having the ability to be controversial is what makes art, art. In truth, "the freedom of expression" is a lie because while we all possess it, we don't speak our mind in fear of being ridiculed or having our opinions written off. Art is the only medium, where one's thoughts, no matter how controversial, can be presented in anyway they want, there shouldn't be a "taking it too far" with art. Everything is appropriate in art. Writers Week is a event that allows people to say things they would not normally say in a school environment, or share thoughts they wouldn't share with people, whether it be the f-bombs 'Mutts' dropped or the swears that student presenters uttered while reading their speeches,their art brought some crudeness into our sugar coated school environment.
The common colour in Margaret’s hat and top act almost as guide lines and our focus is drawn to the space in between. The point that the model is of a Margaret and not of him shows that Quilty doesn’t think that just painting himself isn’t his idea of a self-portrait because it isn’t expressing himself. So he painted a portrait of Margaret Olley whom is someone he admires and has probably influenced him in some way otherwise, why would he paint her specifically? When he had asked Margaret to model for him she declined saying she didn’t like her face and bewildered by her answer he persevered saying that wasn’t true and continued to ask her. Eventually Margaret accepted the request, I think that because of the reason she gave when she declined the first time inspired Quilty to prove her wrong, to show her that she is beautiful and is an important person to
It was neither desirable nor even possible to eliminate the cause of faction. It was not desirable because it would require ‘destroying liberty’ and so the remedy ‘was worse then the disease.’ It was not possible because ‘the causes of faction are sown in the nature of
The detail in this book also brings out the topic that Holden doesn’t want to accept adult hood in his own life or that of any other child. Saying that the life of an adult is “phony” because of the goals and desires they pursue. But also Holden’s life is out of place because of this. Holden doesn’t understand why people want to change or why they have the loss of innocence after adolescence. Jane, Holden’s friend, is one of the many people that Holden wants to save, along with phoebe and the rest of the adolescent world.
He doesn’t know every little detail of everyone’s life, so how is he to know? What gives him the right to take God’s judgement seat and choose where everyone goes? That’s not the kind of image or message you want to send to someone who you’re trying to save. If the only reason they joined is because they were terrified out of their mind, then it was kind of pointless. They don’t really believe in it, they just did it to save their own skin.
To be honest, everyone has issues. I really don’t’ think it’s a necessary action to chase someone down the street with a gun because he “talked smack about you” or your mother. Make peace not war, is my motto. Violence is not the answer some might say, but without realizing it we end up in a continuous battle between one another. We campaign for peace amongst nations but that could never happen because we are too self-centered to actually agree to such a belief.
He didn’t mean to kill her, but since Lennie does not understand certain things, he also does not know his own strength. In conclusion, Lennie should not be held responsible for killing Curley’s wife. He should not be accountable because Lennie is not all there and had no idea what he was doing. Another reason Lennie should not be blamed is because Curley’s wife forced him to touch him to touch her hair, and if she did not do that and start yelling at him, none of this would have
Sure, Daisy might be the motivation for his materialism, but nevertheless it is now a part of who he is as a person and he continues the ideals with or without Daisy. Gatsby does not believe that “having the right tools is really important, [and] he needs very few and these must be portable…” (Johnston 5). Gatsby does not conform to this idea that all he needs is the essentials or basic necessities of life. If he did, then he would not have to impress people with his immense wealth and fabulous parties. Jay Gatsby does not fit the image of an American Adam because he has materialistic
The creation of the monster, and the subsequent disasters that take place, all stem from Victors lack of sensibility. Blinded by his personal quest to create unnatural life, he does not consider that anything negative could arise from his experiments. After experiencing these negative effects he states: “Great God! If for one instant I had thought what might be the hellish intention of my fiendish adversary, I would rather have banished myself forever from my native country and wandered a friendless outcast over the earth than have consented to this miserable marriage” (Shelley 174). Victor feels that if he would have thought about the consequences of his creation, he would have not participated in the creation of the creature.
