From “Inside Rikers”, written by Jennifer Wynn, Wynn shares the lives from the “world’s largest penal colony” the inmates from Rikers Island. She really humanizes criminals by giving them faces and names because she does what most American are unwilling to do because they are afraid, that is forgiving people and giving them second chances. She really does see the good in the hearts of some staunch criminals. At the same time, she is a clear sighted humanist on how hard it is to leave the criminal lifestyle. Drawing all the difficulties and complications that our society has placed in the way of the newly released inmate. Not to mention the persuasions of the criminal lifestyle itself. The first chapter is Welcome to the Rock, where Wynn introduces the narratives of Angel, Kenny, Charlie, Alfonso, and Benjamin. Chapter two is titled, From the Belly of the Beast to New York Streets where both Frank and Mike are introduced here. In Chapter Three, the Captain and Harry tell the stories of Keepers Of The Kept, Convicted At Birth with Rico, Napoleon, Hilton, and James in Chapter 4.

As the narrator, Claire creates an emotional and compassionate tone throughout the story. Her dialogue constantly consists of words such as “honey”, “mommy”, “love”, which constitutes to the overall mood of the text (Carver 363). Additionally, she is constantly catering to her husband and child by cooking, cleaning, and performing tasks of the typical “stay-at-home” mom. Her affectionate personality, want for control, and mother-like performance plays a role in Carver’s explanation of the stereotypical mother and wife.

Additionally, she became a "marketing executive" to more than one pharmaceutical company, then retired as "marketing head" Of an company and still managed to make dinner for Wolff's family once a week and watch over his three children (209). Wolff then brings the readers back to reality of what is left of his mother now in her illness who "for the past eighteen months, has not been able to walk, talk, or to address her most minimal needs" (206). Readers grasp [he extreme change in Wolff's mother's State, and understand the struggle he faces everyday when he says, "She is not who she was; do not force her to endure because of what she once was" (20B).

Iridescent is a showing of luminous colors that seem to change when seen from different angles. The novel Fifth Business has many angles in which one can approach it. One of these is Marxism, the origins of Marxism come from Karl Marx who was a philosopher that created a definition of what is a perfect socialist society. This perfection would make both the bourgeoisie and the proletariat equal, this is not the case in Robertson Davies novel Fifth Business. Percy is a character in which is all that Marx views oppose. Elements of Marx ideology can be interpreted and used to foreshadow the fate of Percy Boyd Staunton. Percy’s first encounter with these elements will shape his life

Answer: The miseries being discussed in this chapter entail only living for today and not having any goals. These women feel like their efforts will not be rewarded and that’s how they become complacent. Dalrymple touches the harsh subject of physical abuse and how it effects the women’s mind. When he’s talking to his female patient she realizes the inability of her questioning her significant others reasoning. So I think it opens up a realm of questions on how abuse can not only hurt a woman’s confidence but also make her lose a sense of self.

Secondly, Diana Marfleet plays a significant role in the novel as Dunny’s first meaningful and realistic love, and a second maternal female in Dunny’s life. Diana nursed Dunny back to life, after he was nearly left to die in the war. Diana is characterized as Dunny’s second mother, as she brings him back to life, re-teaches him the essentials of life, and renames him, Dunstan. Diana catalyzes Dunstan’s maturing process, as she initiated him into the world of manhood, sexually, and mentally as he began to form his own decisions. Moreover, to complete his transformation she decides that he should change his name to Dunstan, which mentally gives him the psychological ambition to complete and realize his transformation into a new person in stating “I liked the idea of a new name; it suggested new freedom and new personality” (Davies 90). Distinctly, being with Diana has made him think about himself for once in life and made him realize that he loves her unconditionally, however, Dunstan states “she was too much of a mother to me.” (Davies 81). This motherly attraction to Diana drives Dunstan away from her, as he knows that their relationship could not have lasted.

If someone were to ask you if you could imagine a world where the United States was a fascist dictatorship, you would most likely, laugh in his or her face. After all, the United States is the poster child of a capitalistic society and even has that American dream. What people don’t realize is that in 1933 a group of elite businessmen and some powerful companies tried to plot the staging of a coup with the help of a Marine Corps Major General by the name of Smedley Butler. This may have been plotted because of the financial situation the United States was in at the time, and was eventually brought to the attention of Congress during a hearing through his testimony. Also, because there is evidence supporting this theory I do believe it;

The character of the mother executes the tell-tale signs of counterfeit happiness when she tells the murderous story of the narrator’s father’s brother. “‘Oh honey,’ she said, ‘there’s a lot that you don’t know. But you are going to find out’” (36).

"You think because I am her mother I have a key, or that in some way you could use me as a key? She has lived for nineteen years. Over and over, we are told of the limitations on choice--"it was the only way"; "They persuaded me" and verbs of necessity recur for descriptions of both the mother's and Emily's behavior. " In such statements as "my wisdom ! came too late," the story verges on becoming an analysis of parental guilt. With the narrator, we construct an image of the mother's own development: her difficulties as a young mother alone with her daughter and barely surviving during the early years of the depression; her painful months of enforced separation from her daughter; her gradual and partial relaxation in response to a new husband and a new family as more children follow; her increasingly complex anxieties about her first child; and finally her sense of family balance which surrounds but does not quite include the early memories of herself and Emily in the grips of survival needs. In doing so she has neither trivialized nor romanticized the experience of motherhood; she has indicated the wealth of experience yet to be explored in the story’s possibilities of experiences, like motherhood, which have rarely been granted serious literary consideration. Rather she is searching for

The mother begins to rebel against tradition by taking an active role in educating and freeing herself. Through her radio, telephone and trips out with her sons she develops her own opinions about the world, the war, and the domination and seclusion of woman. She loses her innocence as a result to her new knowledge and experience.

From top singers, Super bowl MVP’s, or local business owners, African Americans today are among the most influential and successful people. Yet the terms poor, dependent of whites, unstable, and family struggles come to mind after reading the beginning of A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. The way Hansberry’s portrayal changed throughout the play is very much similar to how the public view African Americans today. Hansberry’s beginning portrayal of African Americans is that they are poor, dependent of white people, and have poor home structure; as the story progresses, however, Hansberry’s portrayal changes to strong, independent, and courageous.

Seven Pounds, a movie starring Will Smith, is a powerful movie that raises many ethical questions. Throughout the movie, Ben Thomas (Will Smith), is on a mission to right a wrong that he has committed and fulfill what he has come to realize as his life purpose. The main message of the film deals with what each individual’s purpose in life is and how he or she can fulfill that purpose. For Ben, who causes a terrible car accident that kills seven people including his fiancée’s as it is revealed to viewers throughout the movie, he believes his purpose in life is to help seven people in unexpected, drastic ways–the last of which will take his own life. Ben is motivated by guilt and shame which function as moral controls throughout this film. He personifies the top of Kohlberg’s model of cognitive moral development stages which deal with conventional morality and postconventional morality as he directly deals with individual ethics as well as business ethics in various rare instances. It’s these rare situations that blur the lines between right and wrong and that Seven Pounds is centered around when decisions are made in order to serve the greater good in contrast to the rules and laws that govern society.
