Molly Sutter Prof. Jeff Wallace Engl 1101 10:110-11:15 6 Sept. 2014 Grant Penrod is the author of “Anti-Intellectualism: Why we Hate the Smart Kids,” the second-place winning essay of the Arizona State University Printer’s Devil competition. Penrod wrote the piece for a first-year composition course. In his essay, he argues that American society stereotypes intellectuals negatively resulting in some very devastating effects while the uneducated are praised. This results in a downward turn in American culture and ability. He argues this by claiming first that the general population is angry with intellectuals and that stereotyping of intelligentsia begins at an early age.

Jan Christoper Jarin Professor Carruth/Professor López English 10C 5 June 2014 Interiority & Stichomythia-Like Text Taking a form that appears to resemble the dramatic device of stichomythia, “Black Box” and Waiting for Godot parallel each other in their spaced, one line structure to portray a sense of interiority and any emotional distress within in a concentrated form that the protagonists in both works exhibit, by either underscoring it from a second person narrative that understates it or by dramatizes it. This one line structure emphasizes any sense of conflict, intensity, and the emotional unease and anxiety in the characters. And at the same time, certain sections of the single line structure of each work are meant to act as a sort of soothing palliative that reassure the characters of their source of difficulty. In Waiting for Godot, the characters converse amongst themselves to ease the burden and absurdity of life-words are their means by which they may attain a more intimate sense of camaraderie; and on an unconscious level, Godot acts as an object to channel the protagonists’ negativity and worry that life (as a subject matter) causes. Similarly, in “Black Box”, the narrator, who is an undercover civilian, is reassured by some sort of dispatching AI or training that objectively coaxes her, repeating military training mixed with personal information that act as a form of comfort and guidance.
This world has been divided into flotsam and jetsam with its each organ fighting with the other to prove Home Page » Miscellaneous A World Not Neatly Divided Submitted by dhavaljigar on March 12, 2012 Category: Miscellaneous Words: 1047 | Pages: 5 Views: 41 Report this Essay “Divided we fall, united we stand” it means a lot in todays era where politicians, scholars, cultural experts are busy in creating cultural diversities. Amartya Sen in his essay in New York times on November 23, 2001 is discussing the same idea. According to Sen the system of cultural division is problematic as cultural and civilization are not the only point in focus for separation. World civilizations are like a deep woven net whose separation is not possible. He gives example of cultural diversity of India and its emperors Akbar and Aurangzeb.
Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för kultur och kommunikation Kandidatuppsats 15 hp | Engelska | Vårterminen 2010 Critical responses to Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness Critical responses to Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness Av: Morgan Svensson Handledare: Erik Falk Abstract: This essay will revolve around the critical reception of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. The focus will be on three primary sources: firstly, the early critical reception and how the novella was received when it was originally published in 1902, secondly, Chinua's famous critique in 1977 when he called Conrad a racist and condemned both the author and the novella, and thirdly, Said's defence and contextualization of Conrad’s novella in 1992. The essay will explore how the critics have been influenced and from what standpoints they have entered into the debate on Conrad and show how the discussion has changed over time. Furthermore, it will show that the early responses ignore the ‘race’ aspect because ‘race-thinking’ was seen as something natural. It will also explain why Achebe might feel so strongly against Conrad.
