Chapter 15 from the book “I Knew Why the Caged Bird Sings” “Sister Flowers” 07/20/10 The thesis of the essay is that being educated in school books alone doesn’t translate to intelligence. Maya Angelou wrote in the chapter that, Mrs. Flowers has said to Marguerite, “you must be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people unable to go to school were more educated and even more intelligent than college professors.” Mrs. Flowers then encouraged Marguerite, “to listen carefully to what country people called mother wit.” which means a person needs more than just book smarts to be consider intelligent and to able to use that intelligence to survive in life; a person that has wits though life experiences can be more intelligent than people that just gain knowledge in only school books because the people with wits are more savvy from their social life experiences compare to people that live life educated only though book.
Jest set still and take it like a man. I got to tell the truth, and you want to brace up, Miss Mary, because it’s a bad kind, and going to be hard to take, but there ain’t no help for it. These uncles of yourn ain’t no uncles at all- they’re a couples of frauds- regular dead-beats” (200). In the end of the book, in the scene when Jim gets captured, Twain’s statement is proven when Huck needs to make a decision whether or not he going to sell the letter to Ms Watson and whether or not to go get Jim back. “It was a close place.
However it does not end there, in Act 4 a further change occurs in the behaviour of Reverend John Hale. Hale begins to visit those who will not confess and persuades them to lie to save themselves. He turns completely against the Puritan rules and persuades people to do something that they know, to be good Christians, they must not do. When he tells Elizabeth to persuade Proctor to lie he puts forward his main argument: “God damns a liar less than he that throws his life away for pride.” This point in “The Crucible” shows how just how Hale has changed from the cold strict scholar, to the worried man looking only for what he believes to be right. Eventually Elizabeth persuades Proctor to confess and Hale encourages Danforth to speed up the process of the confession: “(quickly to Danforth) Let him sign it,let him sign it” showing that Hale wants to get it over with to prevent Proctor from getting too annoyed.
“Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss”(204). By saying this Henry is saying that the British will kiss your check and pretend everything is okay but they will turn and stab you in the back like Judas did to Jesus. Henry uses all these techniques to try to persuade the members of the house that there is no other solution, that everything has been tried and they must accept the fact that Britain will not accept compromise. “Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer…we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on”(204). Henry had many ideas and thoughts, which he shared with the Virginia House in 1775, but he probably never thought that his ideas would still being talked about and discussed almost 235 years later.
since he has tried to divert you from Yahweh your God”. Harris states that Christian and Jewish followers still allowing heresy which is belief or opinion contrary to orthodox, as an example to demonstrate the dogmatism because they continue devoting to a faith that they have not literally understood. Harris provides logical reasons for his position on religious moderates For every point that he discusses in this paper he provides examples to defend his point. Harris uses a devout Christian trusting his wife and believing weather eating frozen yogurt will make him invisible as an example. “Explaining that he would require much evidence” to be persuaded on what he believes.
When Raleigh writes of the lie, he means to challenge something at its own core and to prove it illogical, thus doing this by the use of his challenging and sarcastic tone. Raleigh writes his first example of this when he states, “Fear not to touch the best/The truth shall be thy warrant”, a bold claim to begin such a poem with (lines 3-4). He wants these words and the meaning behind them to reach everybody no matter how noble or righteous the ear may be. His belief is that he had been wronged so he shall challenge everybody with the truth as his proof and his principle. Sir Raleigh continues by writing, “Go, since I needs must die/And give the world the lie” (lines 5-6).
Creon’s prominent flaw is the amount of hubris he has. According to The Merriam-Webster Dictionary, hubris means excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods, leading to nemesis. Creon showed hubris after his son plead for him to not kill Antigone, to have sympathy for her and to understand
This is visible in the book of Isaiah as he forcefully proclaimed the truth with skilful teaching and a writing style with a flexible manner. He recognized that he had to “prepare the way of the lord” and “make a highway for our God in the dessert”(Isaiah 40:3). History demonstrates that at the time people were full of fear, corruption, and distrust and lacked in social purpose. As an example, corrupt city officials and judges encouraged stealing of land. Isaiah’s purpose was to address the need of purification, using a message that met the needs of both rich and poor and by using examples and descriptions that made sense.
Upon meeting his maker, Tyrell highlights Roy’s perfectness, “You were made as well as I could make you”. This acknowledgement however, is not satisfying as Roy confronts Tyrell with the question of prolonging life. When told, however, that this was not a possibility, Roy’s anger leads him to killing his ‘maker’ feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. The anger he feels towards Tyrell leads him to also murder J.R Sebastian, with no need of justification. Like ‘The Creature’, Roy is angry with his maker, though in Scott’s world, if Tyrell is a representation of God, there is an idea that we can ‘kill God’ represented as Roy kills Tyrell.
