Why The Young Girls? Why Strangulation?

In “Lines of Color, Sex, and Service: Sexual Coercion in the Early Republic,” by Sharon Block she examines the startling similarities between Harriet Jacobs, an African-American slave in 1825 and Rachel Davis, an indentured servant during the 1790s. At first glance, it would seem that both girls would have no similarities, however, by uncovering their stories you can find many parallels between Harriet and Rachel. Both girls are faced with sexual pressure and sexual coercion from their masters, the power struggle between them, their mistresses attempt at inferring in their relationship, their eventual removal from their house, and their attempts at sharing the experience with family members and close friends. Block writes, “This contrast between

First, Werner had an atypical childhood. Werner lived at an orphanage called Children’s House in Zollverien, a mining town, with

Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious serial killer in the late 70’s throughout the early 90’s. What made him stand out from most serial killer’s was what he did to the bodies of his victims. During this research paper, I will cover his childhood life, what led to his lifestyle of killing and cannibalism and also the crimes that were committed during his murderous acts. I will also compare what theories relate to Jeffrey Dohmer and what could possibly be the reason why he did what he did.

In the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, by Mark Haddon, Ed Boone is the father of a brilliant boy, Christopher, who has signs of autism or a similar disorder which makes him very particular, and have extremely rigid standards. Ed constantly overworks himself to please Christopher, and make his son feel as comfortable as possible even though Christopher never thanks him. A similar idea is expressed in “Those Winter Sundays”, by Robert Hayden, where a boy reflects on all his father has done for him even though he and his family never acknowledged all of the effort and labor his father put into making them happy, healthy, and free from these labors. Both the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime and “Those Winter Sundays” suggest that a parent will go to great lengths for their children's prosperity and comfort even if their children never say thank you.

Jeffery Dahmer is arguably the most notorious serial killer -cannibal in history. Targeting men and boys, Dahmer‘s life of crime began with drinking and sex offending. His murders were exceptionally gruesome, often involving rape, torture, necrophilia, dismemberment, and cannibalism. The media often commented on how “normal” Dahmer appeared. Jeffrey Dahmer made everyone question how one develops into such a monster. By the time of his apprehension, Dahmer had sodomized, murdered, and cannibalized at least seventeen men, mostly black, Hispanic or Asian, in the Milwaukee area between the years of 1978 until his arrest in 1991 (Williams pg.1).

Werner, a German orphan lived a much different life. Before being accepted into a German Nazi school, Werner

Rough Draft The catastrophes taking place in Europe during the late 1940s remains embedded in the minds of average civilians as a result of the dehumanization regarding non-Aryan people. Elie Wiesel, a novelist who won the Nobel Peace Prize, wrote the memoir Night, which signifies the important yet distorted facts of this grueling theme. A series of flashbacks combined with flash forwards draw the horrific images in a way that seems hard to conceive. Throughout the concentration camps, animalistic torture never seems to end, leading to the Jewish people accepting and using dehumanization on a daily basis. The ways in which Nazi soldiers exterminated their innocent prisoners, explains how strongly these men supported the German

To achieve his goal of stripping the Jews of their humanity, Hitler indirectly abuses them by allowing soldiers and other Jews to beat them. One situation, in particular, involves the Jews constantly getting beaten because they are not moving fast enough. Wiesel writes, "The Kapos beat us once more, but I had ceased to feel any pains from their blows" (27). Since they no longer feel pain, they are portrayed as foreign. This allows Hitler to alienate them and shove them aside. As time passes, the Jews in the concentration camps are deprived of food, and they become desperate for anything to eat. During a bombing, one man risks his life by crawling to a pot of soup left out even though the man knows he will die. "Poor hero, committing suicide for a

For everybody the Crutchman's family apple is perfect, but inside, it is repellent. With the help of the atmosphere the author shows his own discourse about the problem – for him this family's way of life is ridiculous and absurd. He dwells upon it with tongue in cheek. It seems that characters are everywhere but not in their family just because they know and understand the despair and ruefulness of their little family theater.

“The Hunger Artist” by Franz Kafka, is about a man who self mutilated by starvation in attempt to be recognized, honored, and accepted while gaining fame. As noted on The National Center for Biotechnology Information, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ self mutilation by starvation was a common form of suicide in concentration camps for prisoners who wished to remove themselves from the severely harsh environment. The irony of “The Hunger Artist” is that Kafka wrote the story in the year of 1922. However, the Holocaust did not begun until the year of 1933 and ended in 1945. Decades later, the message from “The Hunger Artist” is continuously being retold with the existence of vanity and peer pressure included.

If everything was done correctly, the execution would be finished in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, that was not usually the case, and the deaths were slow and painful. The end results of a hanging consisted of the eyes popping out of their sockets, protruding tongue, bloated face, defecation, and severe jerking of the body and appendages (Descriptions”).

In the film Stoning of Soraya directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh, Soraya Alis wife that is shown in my scene that I have choose from the film Stoning of Soraya M, in my scene that where Soraya showed the bruises on her body to her aunty Zahra from the beating of her husband.

In the film Stoning of Soraya the director uses facial expression, where it shown the time Ali was beating her wife for no reason and facial expression was also shown when Ali was beating her wife in front of all the people in the village.

Imagine this! Being either a young girl or a woman forcefully bound against your will while elders perform a procedure called Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). The young girls and women who are forced to have this procedure done not only loses their rights to sexual pleasure but their rights are sliced, chopped, punctured, and finally burnt away. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) otherwise known as Female Genital Circumcision (FGC) is also a controversial topic in Western societies. This paper will examine the history of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), hegemonic perspective on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), health consequences of having this procedure done, how Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) affects women’s sexual function, and women who

Cannibalism is an act that is thought to be heinous and inconceivable in the minds of men. But, contrary to what many people think, cannibalism is very much alive and still being practiced within the continental United States of America; the thing is…the government just hasn't found out about it yet. This report will take you through the history of cannibalism, the different types of cannibalism, and the different cases of cannibalism.

Krebs wanted everyone to treat him like a hero but, he is a hero only for his mother and sisters. His mom waked into his room from time to time and asked him about the war (Hemingway, "Soldier’s Home", pp, 112). Krebs mother was trying to convince him to go talk to girls and get a job but Krebs never did it, instead of going to talk to the girls he liked to look at them from his porch. When Krebs walked around town and saw girls his appeal to them was not very strong, “He did not like them when he saw them in the Greek’s ice cream parlor”.(Hemingway, Soldier’s Home", pp 112). I think that Krebs had a small symptom of PTSD because is a little strange that he was a social person when he left but he does not want to talk to anyone when he came back. After the war he has no connections with anyone, he has lost all interest and was unable to adjust to his old life again. At the end of the story Krebs is having a conversation with his mom and he seems uncomfortable with it. His mom is trying to convince him that is time for him to get a job (Hemingway,” A Very Short Story”, pp 115). I feel like is not fair for to Krebs to be pushed into getting a job and starting a new life after he got home from the war because that is not fair to him because his family does not know what he went through over there.
