Alisha Thornton 3/20/2013 English 098-099(180) Essay3 Revised In Malcolm X excerpt”A Homemade education, published from Malcolm X An Autobiography of Malcolm X as told to Alex Haley demonstrates the claims that without knowing how to read or write and understand and express what you are reading you become frustrated. Although Malcolm X struggled with reading and writing, and expressing himself while in prison, he learned that the library was a breeding ground for knowledge and that without this information and skills he’d be cut off from the world. While in prison Malcolm X realized that his reading and writing wasn’t good. He even had a hard time expressing himself. While in prison Malcolm would try to write letters to Elijah Mohammed but would become frustrated because all he knew was slang and street life.” I commanded attention when I said something.
In Ungar’s argument, he shows that everyone having a liberal arts education can give a person a wide variety of communication and general work skills. Although a liberal arts education may be pricier, jobs are looking for people who are well rounded because of these classes. Ungar states, “the liberal arts could properly be described as a conservative approach to preparation for life” (194). In this statement, he is trying to show that some people prosper with a more conservative approach to things. Murray believes that some people should not even go to college.
Explain why Castlereagh opposed harsh treatment of France at the Congress of Vienna (12) Castlereagh, the foreign secretary in the Liverpool government, played the role of conciliator at the Congress of Vienna. His main objective was to maintain a peaceful relationship with France so that trade could continue after being disrupted by the Napoleonic war; he did this through the introduction of the congress system in which the idea of balancing power between the powers was put forward. Firstly, Castlereagh wanted lasting peace not only with France but with the other powers. However, his main concern lay with France as too much violence towards them may have caused revenge attacks. They achieved this by penalizing France with indemnities; however, they didn’t embitter France to want to fight for revenge.
Americans wanted to save that very exceptional and desired “American Dream,” and the Depression was keeping thousands of Americans from doing that. So, did Americans change their values and dreams to end the Depression, or did they still want that sweet taste of their very own American Dream? Americans saw capitalism as a safe haven for this dream and with the end of the Depression, opportunities would come knocking. Roosevelt’s New Deal had attempted to save capitalism and essentially failed in the big picture, so was capitalism saving the American Dream, or was welfare state? Ultimately, Roosevelt changed the relationship between the capitalist market and the

Then I will discuss about the literary techniques applied in Bradford’s narrative, regarding these paragraphs above mentioned.

In his book Hunger of Memory, Richard Rodriguez writes on the feelings of grief, anger, and isolation he felt in his growing up separated from his family by his intellect, elaborating on these emotions and overall inspiring his readers, just as William Faulkner designates as the duty of the writer. In his first essay, William expresses just how alone and lost he felt not knowing anyone, as well as not knowing how to communicate with others, finding his only solace to be at home. He changes up the feel of the book in his second essay, when he reverses these feeling entirely, now only finding comfort in his schooling. Lastly, in his third essay, he talks about how it feels to become your own person, to completely break away from your old life, which of course brings about many powerful emotions. In his first essay, Richard describes his isolation from the outside world in vivid detail.
The Shawshank Redemption directed by Frank Darabont explores the human capacity of adapting and changing oneself depending on the needs and influences of one’s environment through protagonist Andy Dufresne who struggles to rediscover himself after being wrongly sentenced to prison. In The Simple Gift Herrick explores how a nurturing environment allows individuals to delve more deeply into themselves and discover who they are. The alienation experienced by Billy in “Nowheresville” due to the abusive relationship with his father is epitomised through the personification of the rocks “protesting at being left in this damn place” and the pathetic fallacy of the “wind[that howls] howls and rain[that] sheets in” on the “afternoon of [his] goodbyes”. But due to his desire to belong Billy leaves the “rundown and beat” ”dump”. Upon Billy’s arrival in Bendarat Herrick symbolically foregrounds Billy’s consequential belonging through the imagery of “the sun finally lifting the fog”.
In his essay he compares himself to an old beggar that moves so slowly, you can only tell he has made progress by the foot prints that follow him. This is the second occurrence in his essay that clearly shows his inclination of how he sees himself compared to his students. It also ironic that he uses Wordsworth’s [a man that went on walking tours of Revolutionary France and had an affair to bear an illegitimate child and in a way represents a version of his students that he is so concerned about] poetry to describe himself. How can this be true though? Yes Mr. Edmundson has years of observations under his belt as a Professor at the college level, but how does this make him an authority in judging on the behavioral patterns of today’s youth.
