Another thing to note was the treatment of women among upper-class men. Even Hagg, a religious and righteous man, gave in to this behavior as he forced an acquaintance’s assistant to marry him, isolating her from her family. Then, when she became pregnant, Hagg forced her to abort the baby and kicked her out to the curb. The whole time, no one had any issues with the arrangement, and to Hagg, this was all perfectly moral as it was condoned by Islam. The portrayal of Hagg was a scathing criticism of the Egyptian political system and the upper-class scene, both of which allowed for despicable actions.

Prior to this assignment student veterans were a portion of the student population that I had no prior experience or knowledge of interacting with outside the scope of my history of higher education course reviewing the components of the GI Bill. The assignment allowed me to get an in depth historical analysis of the GI Bill and how it effected student equity in higher education from its establishment. I have come to understand the services students veterans possess but as well as some of the limitations they face being advocates for themselves in order to receive their benefits. In revolving around the topic of student equity, my team’s research found a wealth of knowledge from higher education scholars who see the need of the GI Bill in further providing student equity to student veterans. Scholars saw the important qualities that the GI Bill possess and advocated for further services in assisting student veterans and their families in not only understanding their medical benefits but also create a supportive community on campus. The overall goal of researching the GI Bill and by doing so includes student veterans is that the bill provides equitable support to returning students that have served, support for dependents of those who serve(d), and the growing student population student veterans are becoming through the new GI Bill.

In William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, all of his characters have a trait that is shown widely throughout the play.

As we sat there in my neighbor's living room, filled with joyful memories, festive Christmas decorations, and the sweet smell of baking cookies wafting through from the kitchen, my neighbor Nazih started to tell me about where he grew up. “I always felt like a misfit. I like cleanliness and organization. I didn’t like dirt and chaos. I wanted freedom and opportunity.” He paused, gesturing to the Christmas decorations lying all around us, “I say this as we are surrounded by the chaos of Christmas decorations waiting to be put up, but this, this is a good sort of chaos, not full of unrest and dirt.” This alteration of chaos was a realization of accomplishment and reflection for Nazih, who grew up in Egypt. He shared with me how he grew up in

Joyce's short story "Araby" is filled with symbolic images of a church. It opens and closes with strong symbols, and in the body of the story, the images are shaped by the young), Irish narrator's impressions of the effect the Church of Ireland has upon the people of Ire-land. The boy is fiercely determined to invest in someone within this Church the holiness he feels should be the natural state of all within it, but a succession of experiences forces him to see that his determination is in vain. At the climax of the story, when he realizes that his dreams of holiness and love are inconsistent with the actual world, his anger and anguish are directed, not toward the Church,

The graphic novel combines the ability of the image to elicit an emotional response and pull the audience in with the flexibility to allow the audience to go through the piece at their own pace. This allows Sacco to take more risks and gives him time to depict moments that do not have the shock value necessary to become the subject of traditional journalism, and these mundane daily moments are often the most powerful. One such moment occurs when Sacco goes to see the Egyptian boarder. He sees a woman yelling through the boarder fences and his companion informs him that she is having a conversation with someone in Egypt. The boarder, Sacco informs us, “was bulldozed right through Rafah, a Palestinian town,” leaving “a few thousand,” of the towns former inhabitants “stranded in Egypt,” (244). As he is leaving, Sacco sees two women “sitting on rocks waiting for a friend or relative on the Egyptian side to show up…”(244). In the next panel the women are seen through a matrix of the chain-link boarder fence and Sacco is visible behind them, following his companion away, under the caption, “we leave them to their waiting…” (244). These two panels contain no graphic images and minimal action, and yet they give such a haunting imagery to the plight of the Palestinians, a people forced to wait, eternally staring through fences at what was once home. Another simple but loaded moment that gives the reader a powerful sense of

The story “Araby” as told by James Joyce is about a young boy that is fascinated with the girl across the street. But deeper down the story is about a very lonely boy lusting for her love and affection.
