Jack spoke of his writing and his passion for writing showed quite a lot throughout his book, he wrote wherever he went. Jack said “The remaining pages were wrinkled and stained from water damage. It smelled salty, and bit like diesel fuel. I loved it, and immediately thought it was up to me to record my boat’s history, like so many other sea writers had done. I turned the page, smoothed it out with my hands and got started” page 81. Jack had positives intentions but since he was money hungry he accepted to help negative people that would put him into trouble and his life goals down the drain.

Andrew Carnegie, known for his wealth amassed from the steel industries, introduces his views of an "inevitable" wealth gap, as well as his opinion as to how philanthropists should distribute their money. Carnegie himself, distributed 90 percent of his own wealth before his death in the early 20th century. The man's capital was donated to universities, standing behind Carnegie's assertion that money should be given to causes that alleviate the "burden" of the wealth gap between the rich and the poor. However, Carnegie does explain that whatever the American people do, the gap is "inevitable," as a just consequence of capitalism. Throughout his article, the philanthropists explains that in a capitalist America, while wealth inequality is prone

From the walls, ceiling, and floors, art consumed their whole apartment with files jammed, white bathroom wall with red, yellow, and blue pencil marks, trunk loads of artwork under their bed which elevated it every time they’ve collected more. The Vogels even covered certain art pieces in blankets to preserve their quality and prevent it from fading from light sources. They used every space available in their small apartment to cover in art and didn’t have any room for a couch or more tables and chairs for comfortable and safe conditions. They had over 2,000 works of art holed up in their

In Herman Melville’s “Bartleby, the Scrivener,” the title character, Bartleby fits in Lennard Davis’s “disabled body” he refers to in regards of deflecting off of the norm and such deviances from the norm that cause people such as Bartleby to be seen as defective. As Davis pointed out in his paper, “the disabled body…was formulated as by definition excluded from culture, society, the norm” (Davis 4). Bartleby is excluded from his co-workers in a relationship standpoint because of Bartleby’s lack of working as well as physically removed from them when he is sent away too because of his deviance from the work place caused by his preference not to work.

When Van Ruijven cornered Griet in the hallway and grabbed her chin, she did not feel at all comfortable: “I did not like the way he looked at me”.

Vermeer’s remarkable character draws young readers in as he was portrayed as a very gentle, caring and loyal man – the type of man you would want to marry. Vermeer never forgot her and
