...nature symbolism is used to reflect the events in society through the weather atmosphere, and animals. Light and darkness imagery is used in correlation with chaos as well; night and darkness being used to cloak evil, and light and dark used to suggest the occurrence of evil events . Sleeplessness, another symbol, is also used to show how the chaos causes the characters in Macbeth to fall apart, from how they caused sleeplessness for themselves to how it drives them to self destruct. In William Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, symbols are constantly used to illustrate growing chaos, evil and destruction which suggests that Scotland is on a path to its downfall. First of all, the motif of nature and disruption in the natural world is used to suggest that something unsettling has or will happen. For one, animals are used to illustrate the chaos occurring after Duncan's death. In the scene...

...instantly. Feminism is the most prominent literary criticism within A Streetcar Named Desire. Patriarchy is seen repeatedly in almost all of the interactions Stanley has with his wife Stella and her sister Blanche. In scene two of the play Stella doesn’t want Blanche around when Stanley has his poker night so she tells Stanley, “I'm taking Blanche to Galatoire's for supper and then to a show, because it's your pok'r night.” (Williams 32) and he replies, “How about my supper, huh? I'm not going to no Galatoire's for supper!” (Williams 32) to her. This portrays feminism because Stella knows that Blanche would call...

...understands it. No job for me...(Happiness, Copenhagen, 2015). Other Nigerian woman who works in prostitution says: If you are poor, you would not find a job. In Nigeria it works differently.You need to know rich people, who could help you to get a job. Without them, you are nobody for them (Joy, Copenhagen, 2016). Gender inequality and formal work. Labour law applied in formal labour market seems to discriminate women on many levels in Nigeria. Most of Nigerian women are denied to be employed in work, which takes place in night hours. Under 55(1) of the Labour Act herein a woman cannot be employed on night work in a public or any agricultural undertaking (with the exception in Section 55(7) of women nurses and women in management positions who are not engaged in manual labour section (Imasogie 2010:15). Besides, the discrimination of women to become economically active in night hours, women are also denied to work in underground jobs. Under Section 56(1) of the Labour Act women are prevented from engaging in any underground work in any mine (Ibid 2010:15). Women’s role of mother excludes a lot of women from getting various jobs in public sector. Women who are pregnant or have children are not allowed to work in the Police Services and Military services in Nigeria. Moreover, as married women are expected to become mothers, this discrimination in a possibility to be employed in police or military services is being applied to all married women. By virtue of Section 127 of...

...describes New York as the paragon of a better life—a place not “desolate,” “solemn,” or “dismal,” but rather a place with a “promise of beauty.” Even the image that New York seen from the bridge “is always the city seen for the first time” illustrates the parallel between the two places: Nick calls New York a “city,” but the Valley a “solemn dumping ground.” Furthermore, during his car ride with Gatsby, the very fact that Nick only notices the beauty of New York but not the degrading conditions of the Valley signals the wealthy’s lack of consideration for others. Ultimately, through his use of language, Fitzgerald criticizes the wealthy who live blindly to inequality, flooding themselves in “the racy, adventurous feel of [the city] at night” (56). Fitzgerald also uses figures of speech to describe the Valley to call attention to the inequality created by the wealthy’s pursuit of self-growth. He calls the Valley “a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat … into … grotesque gardens” (Fitzgerald 23). Here, the use of irony and an oxymoron effectively underlines the divide between rich and poor. In calling the Valley “a farm where ashes grow like wheat,” Fitzgerald shows that wheat, a source of food and opportunity, does not exist for the lower class, who accept ash instead. The irony of a farm growing ash thus demonstrates the jarringly poor circumstances the Valley lives in. Farms usually connote a place of hope and opportunity—a source of food and growth—but the fact that the...

...English H. Period 8 Scout’s Personality Essay There are many components to literature, however, one of the most important are the characters. Throughout a story, readers become submerged in a characters’ life and learn about what type of person they are and watch as the characters develop overtime. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout is one of the main characters that readers become familiar with, since the story is told from her perspective. Everything, from her actions to her speech, shows us a fragment of who she really is. Each fragment eventually pieced together to form Scout’s personality. In part one, readers get a good grasp on what kind of person Scout is; her character traits are illustrated on countless occasions. There are numerous traits that Scout demonstrates and within the story, certain traits are more strongly exposed than others. In particular, Scout is portrayed as very innocent and also reveals to be protective in the first part of the book. Scout is depicted as innocent throughout the first part of the book because she doesn’t understand certain consequences for her actions. For instance, when Scout revealed she is able to read “most of My First Reader and the stock-market quotations from The Mobile Register” (17), her teacher “looked at [Scout] with more than faint distaste” (17). Her teacher, Miss Caroline, then proceeded to order Scout to tell her father to stop teaching her, but Scout denies the claim that Atticus’s teaches her and tries...

...Othello “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain” is a famous quote that was said in the Dark Night movie. This couldn’t be truer when it comes to the story of Othello by William Shakespeare. Othello is the newly appointed general of the army of Venice. He is a powerful and respected figure in Venice even though he is not a native of the country. Although, Othello is powerful he is very trusting of those people around him. Iago, the villain of the story, takes advantage of Othello’s trustful nature and uses his trustfulness to drive Othello mad. We are not sure why Iago wants to drive Othello mad, but we believe it is because Iago was passed over for the job of general of Venice. Iago uses Desdemona the wife of Othello to drive him crazy. He makes Othello believe that Desdemona has been sleeping around. These lies lead to Othello becoming a mad man. Othello was doomed from the start and was going to eventually fall from his office to become “the blackest devil.” First, Othello’s race plays a huge factor in his fall from the top. Othello is a moor and not a native in Venice. Othello was always sort of an outsider from the natives of Venice. In the story there are examples of racism towards Othello such as when Iago says, “an old black ram” when describing Othello. Iago also goes on to call Othello “the devil” even though he is Christian. Iago is trying to imply that all black men are evil and that devils took the form of black men. In an article...

...In south of the Bay Area of California, a young wise kid grew up in a neighborhood of engineers working on electronics in their garages on weekends. As he grew up, this shaped his interest in the field. He met the most important person in his life at age thirteen. He was 18 years old Stephen Wozniak, an electronics whiz kid. Five years later, still living in his parent’s basement, he reached college age; he told his parents he wanted to enroll in Reed College, an expensive liberal arts college up in Oregon. He then moved to Oregon and attended Reed’s for one semester, then dropped out as he was more interested in eastern philosophy, fruitarian diets, and LSD than in the classes he took. His main activity was cultivating apples. As a young college dropout, he return back home to California to look for a job. He was hired as the young video game maker Atari, and used his wages to make a trip to India with one of his college friends, in order to seek enlightenment. He came back a little disillusioned and started to take interest in his friend Wozniak’s activities. He quickly understood that his friend’s brilliant invention could be sold to software hobbyists, who wanted to write software without the hassle of assembling a computer kit. He convinced Wozniak to start a company for that purpose. The Apple Computer was then born on April 1, 1976. A co-founder, chairman and CEO of Apple Inc, Steve Jobs, focus on excellence. Excellence as an expectation is something we can lose sight...

...A Devil’s Touch 0600 hrs 37 min and 56 sec PRESENT DAY The dust settled and all I could see were the people who were always there for me, the people who picked me back up whenever I was down. There was one thing missing from their faces: Life. Their broken bodies were scattered here and there but nonetheless they were not moving. A blood curling scream erupted from my mouth but no one else was there to listen to it except me. I had caused this; I had claimed the lives of all my friends. I knew that they were not going to come back or talk to me or go for a movie with me. I just knew that this was the end. But still even in my denial I could make out the voice in my head saying...”They brought this on themselves, don’t torture yourself for it”. I wanted to crawl into a hole and rot in there for all eternity, but no matter how far I ran I realized that what had happened could never ever be changed. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I could only see an ashen, terrified face covered tears. It all began like this…. 6 hrs 38 min and 3 sec BACK I was running shirtless with my hands flailing above me screaming Whoooo!! I had lost my mind (yes I was drunk) and had no clue what was going around me. All I knew that I was having fun and I didn’t care what would happen. I heard laughter around me but one laugh caught my attention and in a second I knew that this night was going to be a blast. “I have an amazing girl-friend, what could go wrong?!” I said. What I didn’t know that...

...Reformation In Eisleben of Saxony, just a little over 3,000 in population, a young couple named Hans and Margaret Luder would have their first child. Being named after the Feast of St. Martin, on the tenth day of November 1483, their boy would be named Martin Luther. Being born between eleven and midnight, he was to be baptized the next day at the church of St. Peter. At six months old, his parents, in need of mining business, would move to Mansfeld, approximately six miles away. Eisleben was too crowded, and Mansfeld was developed around mining and his father was a coal miner. After a few years of coal mining in Mansfeld, Hans became a new owner of two smelting furnaces. He was later elected to take part in being a member of the town council. At the age of five, the Luthers had enough money to send Martin to the village schoolmaster in Mansfeld, attending till he was thirteen years of age. Martin, being the eldest of three and first to go to school, he would learn to read, write and Latin. He would be punished for being the slowest in the morning. Luther would never forget being beat, and having to wear a dunce cap, and being called an ass for the rest of the day. “The schoolmasters in my day, were tyrants and executioners; the schools were jails and hell! And, in spite of fear and misery, floggings and trembling, nothing was learned,” Luther remarked. At the age of fourteen, he was sent to the neighboring town of Madgeberg, for another year of Latin teachings. ...
