    Ishmael, written by Daniel Quinn has given us an insight on how the world has been treated by man and how it could end. In a time where the world is being destroyed we need to step up and protect the earth from total destruction. The Taker culture believes that the world was created for them so therefore they can do whatever they want to it without any consequences.The idea that man believes he rules the world is not only false but its constantly causing harm to the planet, Quinn uses a lot of metaphors

    In a remarkable contrast, Harley Quinn was not conceived with so much planning and lofty intentions. Her rise is a recent, completely unprecedented curve ball. She was only meant to be a passing character in Batman: The Animated Series ,a mainstay of 90 's childhood. In a bizarre twist of fate, and the right people knowing each other, Harley Quinn got her origin. The cartoon 's writer, Paul Dini, watched a tape of his college buddy, comedy

Even in current television shows, movies, comic books, and advertisements, women are still depicted as sexual objects, which can damage a woman’s confidence. The oversexualization of women 's bodies can degrade a young woman’s confidence, and when girls try to boost

    Analysis of Ishmael 1) I do agree with what Ishmael (Quinn) saying in the above quote. Ishmael is saying that people are not ignorant of the fact that they are destroying the world, they are just egotistical and thinking only of themselves. “I'm sure he knows that any species in the wild will invariably expand to the extent that its food supply expands. But as you know, Mother Culture teaches that such laws do not apply to man.” (133) If the Takers don't change the way they live destruction will

    My icon has always is tied to a specific DC comic book antihero Harley Quinn. When most people hear the name Harley Quinn they automatically call her “the jokers girlfriend”. That is a slightly accurate title for her, but there is way more to her as character than that specific title. Harley Quinn is also known as Harleen Frances Quinzel. Her story begins in the DC UNIVERSE as a doctor at The Arkham Asylum. She was famous in her field and was one of the only know female doctors to work in The

    Ishmael Takeaways

    • 2 Pages

    The main takeaway from Ishmael by Daniel Quinn is the way Ishmael portrayed Takers in relation to the peacekeeping law and how he uses the Taker Thunderbolt analogy to show human ignorance towards this law. Ishmael describes the peacekeeping law as “... the law that keeps the community from turning into the howling chaos the Takers imagine it to be. It’s the law that fosters life for all…” (Quinn, 124) According to Ishmael, the Takers could not act in accordance with the law because they did not

    Ishmael begins when the nameless narrator finds a newspaper ad that reads: "Teacher seeks pupil. Must have an earnest desire to save the world. Apply in person" (4). At first, he is angry, as it reminds him of the counterculture movement of the 1960s, which he participated in only to discover that there was no easy way to save the world. Nonetheless, he responds to the ad, and finds that the teacher is a gorilla. Behind the gorilla is a sign that reads "With man gone, will there be hope for gorilla
