Analysis Of Call Me Hope

In the fourth chapter of Parker Palmer’s Let Your Life Speak entitled All the Way Down, Palmer is addressing and discussing clinical depression and the discoveries he made during this time. Disconnection and mystery are both explicitly covered to accurately explain the run and feeling of depression for the individuals that have never experienced the disorder. One of the main ideas that is addressed is that one of the only ways to get out of depression is to use knowledge of the heart and the choices that lead to wholeness are expressive of personal truth rather than calculated and intended to achieve a goal.

In a world that is so unpredictable, sometimes there is nothing else that a person can do to make a situation better besides hoping for a good outcome. Hope can have a big impact on the way people view the world, and can potentially save lives. Hope is communicated in many ways, including a variety of art forms, such as literature. Some examples of literature that show how powerful having hope can be are the novel Soledad Brother by George Jackson, the short story Salvation by Langston Hughes, the short story Superheroes, Just for Each Other by Peter S. Goodman and the article Man Needs Hope to Live, by Christopher Kaczor. These literary works show that even the smallest bit of hope can help a person make wiser decisions regarding his or her future, but having no hope for the future leads people to make choices that are ethically wrong.

This paper will focus on the Statue of Dionysos leaning on a female figure. Also known as the Hope Dionysos. The statue is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and is located on the first floor Roman and Greek art chamber. Upon entering this sector, you will notice a grand statue that catches your eyes and captivates you as it welcomes you in gracefully. The exhibition is set up in the back center of the room, and is noticeable due to the largeness in scale and the enigmatic yet calming disposition the statue portrays. My first impression of the sculpture was how detailed and realistic the statue is. Since the statue was so defined you would be able to identify what he was wearing and how his body was shaped to how long his hair was during this time period. I was profoundly intrigued by how peaceful the statue of Dionysos embodied and found myself coming back to it and looking in awe. In curiosity, I would choose this statue for my assignment because I wanted to learn more about the history of the Hope Dionysos. In this essay I will be describing my formal analysis of the artwork, the subject matter behind it, the artist and the historical content of the statue of Dionysos.

Ludacris does a remarkable job of portraying his message about the struggles that some adolescents are faced with. “Runaway Love”, by Ludacris, featuring Mary J. Blige (2007), represents the theme of struggle through hip-hop and rap music. It is about little girls who are “stuck up in the world on their own.” They have to take care of themselves because the people they are around do not care about them. They range from nine to eleven years in age, and their goal in life, at such a young age, is to run away from home. Ludacris is trying to get the listener to realize the struggles that even children have to face because adults are not the only ones who have problems, like most people believe.

In the film "Lean on Me", Joe Clark, a fictional version of the real Mr. Clark who was the principal at an inner-city high school in Paterson, New Jersey, is the ultimate example of an authoritarian leader. In the movie, Clark approaches his job at a decaying academic setting with single-minded goals: to clean up the school, physically and academically, in order to help the students who have potential to graduate and to get rid of the ones who are destined to fail, according to his perceptions.

This paper will discuss Clark 's methods of leadership, his style and tactics as

The absence of hope is shown through the mother's death and the dull setting of the novel. The mother is an example of how her absents of hope caused her death. “As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and i hope it with all my heart“(57). The mother said this in a flashback the man had after the boy said he wanted to be with her. This show that she knows that if they stay, they will be raped, killed, and perhaps eaten and she would rather commit suicide than let that happen to her. This matters because humans need to have something to live for in something in order to achieve a goal. Another example of an absenceof hope is the setting

As shown in the poems that were included in this DBQ, the spirit triumphs. Yes, Holocaust survivors, reflect the brutality and finding beauty within their unfortunate circumstances. However, those who overcome ravaging diseases, an accomplishment in sports, or just about anything involving liberation is evidence of triumph - making holocaust survivors a small percentage of what the human spirit can overcome. For instance, my fear of doing certain skills in sports gave me the motivation to endure. Similar to the Holocaust stories, at one point, I thought I would never be able to break free of the moments where I was convinced there was no solution to my problem.

In the book setting plays a big role and adds more emphasizes on the characters and the story. Hailsham was the school that Kathy and them were raised, and was the school that gave them all their memories of their childhood and as friends. As they we young and growing up in Hailsham they were protected from the real truth behind their reasons of living because if they were to grow up knowing of those reasons things would have gone wrong. (“You see we were able to give you something, something which even now no one will ever take from you, and we were able to do that principally by sheltering you.” pg 268) What Hailsham gave them was a childhood and from that they turned into great people. The theme of hope comes into play because Hailsham did shine a light on it, in the end they were misled to believe something
