Loathing In The White Tiger

Every person in their lifetime will encounter love. Love is a necessary evil in our lives. Using the moral lense to analyze the short stories “The Possibility of Evil” by Shirley Jackson and “A Bolt of White Cloth” by Leon Rooke, we see that love cannot exist without evil. The characters of the stories all encounter evil through love by means of relationships, goodwill, as well as inanimate objects.

Four boys went out after the basketball game. Robert Washington is killed in a car accident, and the three other

When an emotion is believed to embody all that brings bliss, serenity, effervescence, and even benevolence, although one may believe its encompassing nature to allow for generalizations and existence virtually everywhere, surprisingly, directly outside the area love covers lies the very antithesis of love: hate, which in all its forms, has the potential to bring pain and destruction. Is it not for this very reason, this confusion, that suicide bombings and other acts of violence and devastation are committed…in the name of love? In Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, the reader experiences this tenuity that is the line separating love and hate in many different forms and on many

I never really realized how i couldn't be anymore different from  Rob from “The Tiger Rising’’ always thought my life wasn't very normal at all but the  I saw my life through a different perspective and that changed it all I thought it was bad that my parents are divorced but Robs mom is dead and he can't see her anymore but I could always see  both my family members even though they didn't live together and at least I'm not bullied or hurt at school.

The movie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, is a historical fiction. It occurs some time in China under a dynasty. Some of the events that happened in this movie relate to some of the material that we covered in class. One event that happened was when Jen and her family travels through the desert and were attacked by Lo and his Dark Cloud on horses. In my interpretation, I believe that Lo and his gang of bandits, displayed some similarities to The Mongols. As seen in the movie, they rode and fought on horses, were nomadic, and lived by raidings, which are things that Mongols are known for. They use horses for mobility and height against their enemies. When Lo and Jen are in Lo’s cave, he assumes that she is part of a Han dynasty, but she corrects

According to Franklin Walker, the well-known American author of such beloved titles as The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea Wolf, was born on January 12, 1876 in San Francisco, California. He spent much of his childhood on ranches and the streets of Oakland, as well as sailing on San Francisco Bay. During his teenage years, London fell into strange and unfulfilling jobs that led to a personal revelation about the importance of an education. London spent a few months educating himself on both high school and college material, but when word of discovered gold in the Klondike spread, London, at the age of twenty-one, left his home to participate in the hunt for treasure. He published a short story collection called The Son of the Wolf in 1900 and three years later his novel The Call of the Wild awarded him new fame and notoriety. After a successful career as a writer, London died in 1916 at the age of forty (Walker 1).

On January 6, 1941 President Roosevelt delivered his State of the Union Address before congress. He spoke eloquently of a future world founded on the essential human freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. (Foner 2014pg842). He used this speech as a rally cry to enter World War 2. (Foner 2014, 757) These four freedoms were meant to establish basic rights for all people in the United states and still today we hold true to these freedoms. (Foner 2014 pg842) Freedom of speech came to coincide with freedom and expression which would be the best defense against corruption of democracy. (Remembering the Four Freedoms 2016). Freedom of worship or religion would be our shield against the forces of bigotry, intolerance, and fanaticism, Freedom from want, a commitment to erasing hunger, poverty, and pestilence from the earth, brought hope for citizens as they fought the Great depression and Finally, freedom from fear, a freedom dependent on collective security, a concept carried forward with our leadership in the United Nations.(Remembering the Four Freedoms 2016) As America battled the great depression, Roosevelt was confident that the war would end the depression and cause the United States to thrive once again. (Foner2014, 843) Roosevelt declared on a radio address in 1942 that the “rights of men of every creed and every race, wherever they live” implying that the four freedoms made so prominent in this time era should be a

Tokumitsu confirms that employees can resist being controlled by companies because “doing what you love” (DWYL) goes directly against corporations (2). By “DWYL” it promotes employees to break away from the company and to do something that makes them happy. Although Tokumitsu says how great it is to “DWYL” she claims that there is a negative side that is destructive to others by saying “DWYL distracts us from the working conditions of others while validating our own choices and relieving us from obligations to all who labor, whether or not they love it” (2). This means that people who “DWYL” become only concerned with themselves being happy and do not care about the other workers who have terrible jobs. The mantra “DWYL” opposes both Hochschild’s and Davies’ views on what takes place within the workplace. Davies and Hochschild claim that employees have either accepted the “emotional labor” placed on them or simply will not show up to work. Neither Hochschild nor Davies have ever discussed whether employees are able to truly “enjoy” working unless management gives workers certain incentives. As a result Tokumitsus shares the views of Hochschild and Davies about how corporations are effecting employees’ emotions but has

Love is a powerful emotion that every human being has experience at least once in their life. There are numerous connotations that refer to this emotion, but there is only one kind of love that can make a person change completely in unexpected ways. It is the kind of love that consumes the soul and everything within. Mixed with excitement, adventure, heartbreak, happiness and joy; it is a big ball of feelings, all concentrated in one simple, yet extremely complicated necessity to have, protect, please and give all of oneself to that one person. In certain occasions, love can grow very intense and, consequently,

Love is a powerful emotion that everyone wants. The fact is that love will overcome anything as long as you have the right motives. Whereas, the word hate has a very deep and harsh meaning, it means to have an intense or passionate dislike towards someone or something. George Orwell’s book, 1984, shows us a prime example of a society based on hate. Moreover, a society based on hate will not survive, the government will manipulate the people to destroy themselves.

I agree that Americans are becoming ruder in the workplace because most of them are performing in fast-paced, cross-functional, and diversified organizations. Consequently they have unmet needs, they are stressed, they are angry, and they are willing to express it (Johnson, P & Indvik, 2001, p.705). In addition to their internal stresses, they are interacting with people with different viewpoints, values, and goals. For the most part, people tend to have little respect for those who do not agree with their principles. Although there are a number of documented reasons for negative behavior, your discussion highlighted anger as being one the most significant reason. Most people do not use violence or open conflicts as ways to express anger;

While people are often able to identify when they feel the emotion love, love itself seems to defy definition.  In her polemic “Against Love”, Laura Kipnis argues that love cannot exist as traditional expressions of love such as marriage, monogamy, and mutuality.  However, in her argument, she defines love incorrectly by equating love to expressions of love. This definition lacks a component essential to understanding the abstract concept of love: emotion. Recognizing love as emotion helps us realize that, contrary to Kipnis’ argument love by nature transcends all expressions of love. Love is subjective and exists in any and all forms. In her argument that love cannot survive as conventional expressions of love, Kipnis ignores the nature of love as emotion in favor of equating love to different expressions of love. Love is a force which exists above expressions of love; a true understanding of love can only come from an assessment of how individuals, not societies, respond to the emotion.

“‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all” (Miriam-Webster 253). This quote has been used for centuries as both persuasion in favor of loving and also as comfort in times of heartbreak and loss. However, is this statement completely true, or does it offer false hope to anguishing lovers? In fact, are the rules and costs of loving and being loved so great that in fact it is actually better to never have loved at all? When pondering these questions, one must first consider the rules of loving and being loved to determine the physical, emotional, and psychological costs they entail. In order to do so, one could use Andreas Capellanus’ The Art of Courtly Love as a guideline for the rules of love.

Ashok. Balram repeatedly made excuses for why Ashok is actually nice to him, even though when he and his wife accidentally kill a child, he tries to pin the blame on Balram and have him sent to jail. This is a clear example of someone in a substandard situation and trying to rationalize that it is actually acceptable. This is a common occurrence in real life. There are many people who will come up with excuses for why their bad situation is fine and they can not change it anyway, even though they often can, as Balram does later in the book. People will make excuses for why the status quo is good, and those excuses are often only used to avoid having to put in

Ever wondered how love can bring you happiness and pain and make you sane and crazy at the same time. How this emotion can change you and make you accept things you are not used to. How this emotion can overpower you in many ways in which you did not know existed. In Lancelot by Chretien de Troyes, the power of love is a commanding driving force that can dominate a person’s mind, body, and soul and one who is courageous enough to love sometimes undergoes serious consequences. Consequences that are driven from the power of love that harm and cause hardship to the one who is determined to seek love.
