Calvin Worthington uses symbolism throughout My Fathers Hands to portray how larges issues like the importance of education and effects of disabilities through such a simple object such as hands. When the author is describing the hands it gives the reader a clear vision of what the hands may be like “ He could gently prune a fruit tree” This description is very effective as it is telling the reader that although the hands were rough they were also gentle and warm and comforting, it also gives the reader an idea on what the father is like. It describes a loving and interesting man and a man that this narrator truly adores and aspires to. On the other hand she also vaguely feels sorry for her father as he never learnt to write or read. “They

Society has a tendency to believe that the way one perceives another individual is how they truly are. It is human nature to construct one’s personality based on the way one may speak or behave. However, it is also human nature to accept these roles created by others. In this modern day society, the majority believe that they are in charge of their own individuality. Yet, the way others behave towards a particular individual is what shapes one’s identity. This is well demonstrated by William Shakespeare in Taming of the Shrew. In this play, many characters easily mold into various other personas. Throughout the entire play, Shakespeare constantly emphasizes how individuals behave differently based on how others look upon them. This is shown repeatedly through the lives and experiences of Katherina, Bianca and Christopher Sly.

There is ample speculation over the situation of the mysterious third murderer, in Macbeth. Tremendous arguments based solely on whether the murderer is, in fact, Macbeth himself. However, it is highly doubtful, that Shakespeare would have made this mystery as straightforward. Speculators often look past the idea that the murderer could have been someone other than Macbeth, like his servant. The servant, like Macbeth, would have his reasons to fulfill this deed.

" ...for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done, will rather learn to bring about his own ruin than his preservation".(Machiavelli 12) This is a quote from Machiavelli 's "The Prince".

Politics is always an act of manipulation and there may be a dissonance between the public persona of a leader and the ruthless actuality of their lives. Kevin Macdonald’s 2006 political biopic film The Last King of Scotland is based on political and personal events throughout the narcissistic Adi Amin’s despotic, traumatic and destructive rule of Uganda during the 1970s. It shows two different representations of Amin: one that manipulates his public persona as someone who works for and with the people and the other as someone ruthless who will manipulate anyone to stay in power. The film is also an act of manipulation as we witness these events through the perspective of the politically naïve and altruistic eyes of Nick Garrigan.
