Markwardt And Parsons

There are characters, which the migrants in the novel encounter, who take risks to help a person in poverty. At the beginning of the novel, Tom tells the driver of the red truck, "´ But sometimes a guy will be a good guy `" (11). Mae, who is unwilling to give a loaf of bread to the Joads, finds herself selling two pieces of candy for less than their value. The man at the register in the camp were the Joads were picking peaches lent Ma a dime. Ma needed sugar for Tom's request for coffee but was a dime short. The man was not allowed to lend money without a slip. " He looked pleadingly at her.   And then his face lost its fear. He took ten cents from his pocket and rang it up in the cash register." He took a risk of losing his job for Ma. The people that seem unwilling to help out usually have a good heart. They don't want to see the anguish and the pain these migrants have suffered. They want to help, but there is only so much a person can or is willing to do. The man who owned the gas station had lent gas to previous migrants who gave him dolls, furniture, and other utensils. The junk he got in exchange for

Tom Walker is parsimony known as stingy. Tom Walker left a great part of unfinished and unfurnished of parsimony (237). Tom was a stern supervisor and censurer and believe every credit belongs to himself. “Let us get hold of the property’’, said he consolingly to himself, ‘’ and we will endeavor to do without the woman’’ (234). Tom was the universal friend of the needy and acted like a ‘’ friend in need’’, that is to say, he always exacted good pay and good security (236). Tom Walker trick people with their belongings by getting other people riches.

Being poverty stricken is something that really humiliates him because people view him differently. He tried his best to take care of himself and look clean so he could fit in. He would go to Mister Ben’s grocery store to get ice and wait for it to melt so he could was his clothes. He felt shame when he received any help. Gregory explains, “There was shame in going to the Worthy Boy’s Annual Christmas dinner for you and your kind, because everybody knew what a worthy boy was” (167).

In the short story “A Man Who Had No Eyes” by MacKinlay Kantor, one of the main characters is Markwardt, a blind beggar who comes up to another man to ask for money. Markwardt is the type of person who is so self-indulgent; he will do just about anything to get what he wants which in this case is money. Instead of looking at the brighter side of things, he looks at everything negatively and uses mendacity and psychological manipulation through the usage of his sad stories to bring pity to the people he is speaking to in order to gain his own rewards.

In Benet’s story it said, “He wasn’t a bad man to start with, but he was an unlucky man… There were two children down with the measles, his wife was ailing, and he had a whitlow on his thumb. It was about the last straw for Jabez Stone.” In Irving’s story it said, “there lived near this place a meager, miserly fellow, of the name of Tom Walker… He even set up a carriage in the fullness of his vainglory, though he nearly starved the horses which drew it; and as the ungreased wheels groaned and screeched on the axletrees, you would have thought you heard the souls of the poor debtors he was squeezing.” Tom was selfish and didn’t care for no one else but him and Jabez was a poor, humble man that ran out of luck and he thought about how he will take care of his family. Even though they are both a common man, it doesn’t matter what kind of person you are, you can bring yourself in

Here, husband just cared about if this wife was a negro. During Robert visit, many reactions of husband reflect his short vision about blind people and what they can do, and also that they can be loved by the people who treat with them like his wife. He astonished that Robert was interesting to listen to the TV and also can analyze what he can listen. Husband was expecting the stereotyping image of the blind man which wears a black glasses and has a cane. He impressed when Robert called his "Bub, I'm a scotch man myself." And then drunk several rounds, and when he smoked cigarettes since he thought that blind people are not smoking. Husband admires Robert's proficiency with utensils and his willingness to use his fingers at times during the dinner. After his wife slept, he was driven crazy when Robert turned his ears to the program in the TV was showing specific information about one of the medieval artistic cathedrals and asked in the paintings were frescoes, but the narrator can't remember what frescoes are. On this situation the author was trying to end the story by showing how the difference in knowledge and vision between the two

The most apparent difference between Tom and George is the contrast in their social and economic status and the way they act. George Wilson is a “spiritless man, anaemic, and faintly handsome” (25) who lives in the Valley of Ashes. He owns an unprosperous and somber gasoline store that barely has anything inside but a “dust covered wreck of Ford” (25). He talks to Tom subserviently as if he is talking to his boss. For example, when George tells Tom that Tom’s man is a little to slow, which is true, and Tom coldly “threatens” not to sell the car, George hurriedly explained that he did not mean it instead of telling Tom to be faster.

In the case study, Waylon Smithers is becoming increasing concerned with the behaviours of his employer Mr Burns. Waylon Smithers explains how Mr Burns is becoming “too difficult for him to handle” and suspects that Mr Burns may suffer from a personality disorder. Burns is described as a “heartless, greedy and exceptionally ugly” that makes “Ebeneezer Scrooge seem downright lovely.” The case study explains how at a young age, Burns was sent to live with his Grandfather, “a twisted and heartless billionaire” and suggests that this may have had a long lasting impact on the behaviour of Mr Burns.

Middle-class and high-class people (dominant group members) are seen as smarter and more articulate than working-class and poor people (subordinated groups). In this way, dominant group members (middle-class and wealthy people) define for everyone else what is “normal” or “acceptable” in the class hierarchy. However what the audience sees in A Social Service is actually Angelo, one of the actors who is actually from a public housing estate and reads off a script the whole play, who is from a lower class teaching Nicola Gunn’s character. This therefore makes the audience critically think about if we could just listen to the lower class they could actually teach us more than anyone would know, teach us about how it is to live with the worry of money constantly on there minds and teach us how they live and that peoples actions affect everyone below them on the hierarchy. The way we now speak to people of lower classes is in a demeaning way and this is definitely not helpful for peoples self-esteem as it only makes people more depressed and this then does have detrimental effects on everybody. The audience sees in A Social Service of how Nicola Gunn’s character talks to Angelo it in in a very sarcastic and degrading way, even though Angelo doesn't matter that much by the way she speaks to him it is definitely a look at society and how they treat people beneath

This atmosphere affects his personality even further shown through his profession. He does not think highly of himself and works in an auto shop where the car is a symbol of the increasingly materialistic ‘new world’ and his work identifies him as someone helping to create and maintain that world. However, he does so at the expense of his personal well-being, never gaining enough profit to improve his own life. This living standard is further emphasized with his patched and broken clothing and the 1-dollar bill that conveys his financial situation. It is ironic because even though he is depicted as a poor helpless man, he still has great aspirations.

Just want to have a nice discussion and see how people feel about the 2 dynamic all-star duos. Which one would you chose (both healthy of course) and why?

Andrew mostly shows helpfulness. First, he collects rented luggage from people. He does this for money. All he gets from the luggage is 50 cents. Andrew also calls cabs for people. He does this just to show some kindness. Now, our final reason of helpfulness is Andrew keeps money that he earns from his jobs in his shoe. He does this because his dad and he want to buy an apartment. Even though Andrew’s dad is getting money at his work, Andrew gets money by showing respect and kindness. The more money they get, the more hope they have that they can get an apartment of their

They are victimized by circumstances well beyond their control. As for the speculators, they are battling not for survival but for wealth, and their economic warfare takes on a validation of its own; it is a contest of wits. The story is slightly depressing, yet in the very unpredictability of human existence, there shines a glimmer of hope. As he is about to sink into complete despair, Sam Lewiston finds a job and makes the most of it. The good man wins out in the end, but it is not so much because of who he is or what he has done.

The second arguments Clark and Chalmers makes is that while some mental states, such as experiences, may be determined internally, there are other cases in which external factors make a significant contribution. Beliefs, desires and many more can be formed partly by features of the environment, when those features play the right sort of part in driving cognitive processes. The mind is made up of mental states and process and beliefs are mental states that covers part of the mind. So, the belief that chocolates are sweet or lemons are sour is one mental state that covers part of your mind, along with other things like different beliefs and desires and many others. To explain this idea Clark and Chalmers uses two cases, Inga and Otto.

Somehow the ethics of Jack Duane has to be explained. We can conclude this is the only guy that goes out of his way in order to help without expecting any means of payment and return, he is genuinely only trying to help. If only the majority of the people during the progressive era what’s think this way, capitalism and greed would not be an issue and the economy would function more efficiently. Sinclair is trying to make a point here, while using this man as an example he’s trying to set order and essentially make people take action by setting an example.
