In the United States of America, who had “not met an Indian in Canada who has not suffered the humiliations of being overlooked (in jobs, in queues, in deserved recognition) and from being singled out (in hotels, department stores, on the streets, and at customs. (Mukherjee, Bharati, An Invisible Women.) In a department store an employee was racist towards a customer based on the customers skin color, and singled the customer out. The customer paid for the items, collected the bags and was about to leave the store when the blaring siren went off. Immediately the customer came to a stop and turned around.
The civilians dragged the huge soldiers across the sand, they won't, should'nt get shot any more by the monsters; At the market the delicate, fabric dresses made with silk, torn and shreded apart by bullets when the clash began, they were unaware... Coridors of blood led to garages of silk and and food now filled with dread; rain washed the walls and made crimson red pools. The market was abandoned, noone was in sight; yet it looked eerie. Two auctions on either side had gaping holes in the side and the rain was wrecking the posh, oak, antique furniture. The hand made, golded and red rug was drenched with cold, beating rain water. Lighting began to flash and thunder started to roar.
However, the creation of the monster did not have to result in such horrific acts. Victor was mortified by his creation, and immediately rejected and abandoned it to face the world of judgmental people alone. “Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?” (Shelly, 108) It is believed that this irrepressible feeling of abandonment and the continuous rejection angered the monster so intensely that he sought to soothe his revengeful soul by murdering those closest to the one whom he felt responsible for
From the time that Raymond is first introduced, the reader sees that he is involved in numerous illegal activities, but is left to wonder why Meursault would agree to be ‘pals’ with him. One comes to realize that Meursault really does not care how others lead their lives. Raymond casually admits that he beats his girlfriend and asks Meursault what he thinks about the situation to which he responds just as casually, “…I didn’t think anything, but that it was interesting”(30). Meursault does not judge those who lead bad lives because he is a stranger to remorse and forethought alike and sees no reason that anyone else should be acquainted with them either. By being a corrupt
Emmett Shumaker Mrs. Kenyan Psychology 5/21/12 Cool Hand Luke Some people in this world simply refuse to change, refuse to conform to the rules beset upon them. The story of Cool Hand Look gives one a great example of such a person. In Cool Hand Luke, Luke Jackson, the main character, is arrested for cutting off the heads of the town's parking meters while drunk. When asked why he cut the heads off the parking meters, Luke answers, "You could say I was settling an old score." This is perhaps a sentiment to his mistrust of authority.
Stone’s response to the accusations is quite cynical and in a sense humorous in the “Memo to John Grisham: What’s Next- ‘A Movie Made Me Do It.’?” Stone argues that no work of art should be the blame of a grown persons actions, and that only the one who commits the crime shall be held accountable(Stone1). I agree with Oliver Stone 100%, for his article has statistics based on his argument and is short, sweet, straight to the point, and speaks directly to the reader. People want answers when something tragic of this degree happens so they look for someone or something to blame, in this case, unfortunately Oliver Stone and his movie Natural Born Killers was the answer for John Grisham. Stone’s response to Grisham’s article has more valid points that are backed up by statistics, beliefs, or simply common sense. Grisham’s attempt to grab the reader in was not effective.
She stomped to the back of the restaurant and screamed out, “I can't stand these ******* NIGGERS!” Although she had shown me nothing but kindness and courtesy until that point, in an instant, she became an enemy in my mind. She had crossed the invisible barrier that exists between different races and cultures, and there could be no turning back. This is the same barrier that Sal crosses in the film when he breaks Radio Raheem's boombox and calls him a nigger. This barrier is then swiftly destroyed with the death of Radio Raheem at the hands of the police, soon followed by the destruction of Sal's Pizzeria. Mookie and Sal represent the last vestige of sanity in the neighborhood.
Augustine just got a thrill out of doing what was wrong. He said, “My desire was to enjoy not what I sought by stealing but merely the excitement of thieving and the doing of what was wrong”. This act of destruction seems to have a very adverse effect on Augustine’s psyche when he is older and in his confessions he spends a huge amount of time on this small insignificant event that to most people would just be something stupid he did as a child. Yet Augustine dwells on it and feels that since he sin came so easy to him, especially as a child, then people must be born with some inherent need to commit sin. When he talks about the original sin, he says that he used it as an excuse to sin, and that he would take great delight in it.
The young waiter with a wife waiting at home, begins to taps his foot for the man to leave so he can close the shop for the night. An older waiter contradicts the idea of closing, because the young waiter should be considerate of others desires and despairs. Like the deaf man, the older waiter is one who can’t sleep at night and causes them to be at war with themselves. The young, selfish waiter begins to wipe the table down with a rag, and proclaimed that the café was closed. The old man gets up, makes his way out the door, and down the street unsteadily.
Since Prospero is replying in short sentences it seems like he is enjoying Ariel’s begging and taunting him, the way he only replies in short sentences ‘How now?’ shows his authority and coldness as a person. ‘Before the time is out? No more.’ This harsh statement shows the audience that he has no intention to release Ariel. We see more of his taunting and plays with Ariel’s mind. ‘Did thou forget from what torment I did free thee?’ He is tricking Ariel to believe that he is being kind to him as he freed him from ‘torment’.
