Take-Home Exam: Sexuality and Closure in Ulysses Joyce’s construction of the female is thought-provoking and striking, especially within the novel. Although Ulysses is a male-dominated novel, the focus on female characters are often highly sexualized.

Changes Nothing survives the span of time like coming of age and growing pains. It’s something every teen must endure to enter into the “real world” and claim their place in adult society. It doesn’t matter if one believes themselves to be upper class or lower class, popular or unpopular; every teen experiences the difficulty of growing up, and the struggle to triumph over high school. Though many try to rush this process some are in no hurry to join the ranks of adulthood and walk down the inevitable

All over the world, the sounds of screaming, fighting, and crying fill the houses of teens as they become scarred by their parents. A substantial quantity of reasons as to how parents largely affect adolescents appears in society today. A teenager spends all day at school, work, or with their friends, but eventually they come home. A teenager’s beliefs and actions largely boils down to one thing—their parents. Whether they suffer through divorce, abuse, pressure, or suffocation, a teen must endure

Due to the prejudice and maltreatment of non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants in the United States, the Irish forced into working in horrible conditions for such little pay and barely any security or fair compensation when they were injured.

The Molly Maguires People of many different nationalities settled in Pennsylvania to work in the coal mines. Conflicts developed not only among people of different cultural backgrounds but also between laborers and owners of the mines. The struggle between labor and management is illustrated in the story of the Molly Maguires, an Irish group which settled in eastern Pennsylvania. The Molly Maguires were perhaps the most gruesome chapter in the history of Pennsylvania. The violent and dramatic

Shaping Identity in William Gibson's Neuromancer The number “one” is not a thing. Math has no definitive reality. Numbers are a social construct, a system of symbols designed to express the abstractions through which properly developed societies explain aspects of reality. It follows that, as humanity seeks to understand more of what it is to exist, bigger numbers are needed. Soon, we need machines to understand the numbers. Society plants a base on information technology, efficiency, and

case with the Molly Maguires. The Molly Maguires were miners in the late 19th century who believed they were treated unfairly and deserved better rights. Their voices were not heard, and therefore a small group was created to take matter into their own hands. They would secretly destroy properties to get the mining company’s attention, but backfired. Since they were a secret group, their story is not known fully. Therefore, people have have their own assumptions of what and who the Molly Maguires were
