The Golem: Philosopher

Born during a period of medieval philosophy, Thomas Hobbes developed a new way of thinking. He perfected his moral and political theories in his controversial book Leviathan, written in 1651. In his introduction, Hobbes describes the state of nature as an organism analogous to a large person (p.42). He advises that people should look into themselves to see the nature of humanity. In his quote, “ The passions that incline men to peace, are fear of death; desire of such things as are necessary to commodious living; and a hope by their industry to obtain them,” Hobbes view of the motivations for moral behavior becomes valid because of his use of examples to support his theories, which in turn, apply to Pojman’s five purposes for morality.

I agree Ashoke and Gogol had nothing in common. Gogol was disappointed with the gift from his father even though Ashoke did the necessary to get a hard copy for Gogol. This book was very important for Ashoke because he waited four months just to arrive. I think the book has a sentimental affection once you read it.

“An evil person is like a dirty window, they never let the light shine through.” Stated by William Makepeace Thackeray, this idea of “never letting the light shine through” aptly portrays Grendel’s evil and monstrous figure even though Grendel himself is not a person. Living in a world of loneliness, Grendel searches for the meaning of his own life, attempting to discover the “good” aspects that life brings instead of focusing on the evil individual he was predestined to be. Grendel manages to discover and gain knowledge about life’s various “good” qualities from his enemies, the humans. Although Grendel is exposed to these qualities by the humans, he never changes his approach to life, continuing to behave evilly like

“Over the years I have forged intimate familial ties with these characters, who are reflections of a portion of myself. Consequently, even a character who appeared only once in a short story waits now in the wings, concealed by the curtain, for his next appearance on-stage. Not one of them has ever broken free of his familial ties with me and disappeared for ever - at least, not within the confines of my heart.” By Shūsaku Endō, The Final Martyrs. In your lifetime you have probably seen writing techniques in a story. Writing techniques can include similes, metaphors, personification, and descriptive word choice. Those are just some of many other figurative language examples. In the novel, The Pigman by Paul Zindel, the author uses descriptive language and figurative language to create theme, and to establish character.

Grendel is a very complex creature. He questions his existence many times throughout the book, called “Grendel” by John Gardner, even though he is viewed simply as a monster by the creatures around him. He wants to find out what his purpose is in life and if there is more to life than him being simply a monster. In the end, he stands at the edge of a cliff after Beowulf badly injures him. He utters these words before the book ends, “Poor Grendel’s had an accident…so may you all (pg.173).” With these words we are left with questions to what did Grendel mean that he has had an accident and what does “so may you all” imply.

Monstrosity is something that is outrageously or offensively wrong, and that is just what Grendel demonstrated in the epic poem, “Beowulf.” Grendel, who is the antagonist in this story, clearly showed he knew what he was doing when he hunted and murdered his prey. He even showed that he enjoyed slaughtering others. Through all this, he shows that he is explicitly evil and it was right for him to be put down like the animal he was.

Grendel is a monster. Although it’s not exactly “ethical” to judge one by their appearance, and as shown in other stories such as Frankenstein, one knows a monster when they see one. Grendel has trouble finding his place in the world, because he doesn’t feel different than the humans; however they see him as different. Throughout the story Grendel cycles through a variety of beliefs in an attempt to discover who he really is.

Many second generation minorities from immigrant parents are driven subconsciously to conform to new culture and social norms. For foreign born parents and native born children integrating the two cultures they inhabit brings about different obstacles and experiences. In Jhumpa’s “The Namesake” the protagonist Gogol is a native born American with foreign born parents. The difference with birth location plays an important role in assimilating to a new society in a new geography. The difficulty for parents is the fact that they’ve spent a decent amount of time accustomed to a new geography, language, culture and society which makes it difficult to feel comfortable when all of that changes. For Gogol the difficulty only lies with the cultural norms imposed by his parent’s and the culture and social norms that are constantly presented in the new society.

Anne McClintock’s “Gonad the Barbarian and the Venus Flytrap”, focuses a lot of attention on how from the beginning of history, women have been denied some of the basic rights and freedoms that have been essential to the way that men live. Starting back from the times where they couldn’t vote and when women were basically seen as property when wedded. Women today and even in the earlier days could not express their sexuality and could not show that they were sexual beings. Anne McClintock gives the idea that women should be able to have the things that men have and they should be able to express it in the same way as men. In this essay, I will analyze how Anne McClintock views pornography as a form of pleasure that is mostly consumed by men and how women are incorporated into the employment of the industry and even in the home setting.

How to define a monster? People usually define a monster when it has unusual strength, terrible appearance or whatever that beyond their cognition. In many literature or heroism story those monsters lurk underground, in a castle or a cave where the sunlight can never reach. However those monster does not exist in real life, and the true monsters is no one but human themself and they lurk no where but our mind.

Maples the Golem , like the rest of the Golems, was born on the Steppes near the Ural mountains in Russia. Some say that Golems are mystical creations, inventions from the minds of vulnerable humans, only to be heard and silenced by those same individuals. Most would agree that Golems create trouble all over the world. A few even say they are responsible for some of the biggest problems in the universe. A Golem will tell you that he is just seeking new opportunities wherever they arise. Golems grow fat from the scent of fear in humans. Maple's dream was to grow bigger than the brown bears that roamed the Urals.

Irwin realises that Hector has something that he doesn’t and is curious about the way Hector teaches and his connection with the boys. He doesn’t dismiss what they have learnt with Hector, he just wants the boys to apply it to gain a further angle in their answers and create a perfect answer. However, he refers to the texts learnt by heart as ‘gobbets’ to ‘add flavour’ and the boys initially refuse to follow this approach, the ‘now’ element of his teaching.
