...Love The extract from A Thousand Splendid Suns shares an omniscient third person narrative perspective which provides greater breadth of character analysis. This third person allows the extract from A Thousand Splendid Suns is able to present the manipulation of Rasheed and the Seventh Mermaid to the fear and vulnerability of Laila and the Prince. ‘RASHEED TOOK HER to his shoe shop one day.’ Opens the extract, ‘RASHEED TOOK HER’ is stressed and emphasises the stolen possession that she is in the novel. It also objectifies her because Rasheed ‘took her to his shoe shop’. The use of pronouns also shows the power and control in the relationship. ‘took her to his shoe shop’ and ‘he walked alongside her’ are used as apposed to ‘they went’ or ‘walked together’. ‘RASHEED TOOK HER’ can be compares to how the prince was taken by The Seventh Mermaid through manipulation. However, the views from the reader contrast as the protagonist and antagonist in each story are swapped over. The manipulation of the prince by the seventh mermaid through intelligent, premeditated thought and to justify her sister’s death is shown as an amiable goal for the protagonist representing female empowerment. This is contrasted with the physical and mental abuse to manipulate and own Laila which makes Rasheed a more detestable antagonist. The innoncene of Laila and the prince is exposed in the extract to make the audience empathise with her whilst the...

...Persona Paper Writing about oneself is not easy and sharing personal feelings, especially with strangers. This self-analysis assignment will show multiple masks created in challenging and significant situations that have created the person I am today. The first mask was insecurity formed in grade school where it all began. By the 6th grade, I had already attended seven different schools. No one ever seemed to like the new kid, it was very hard to fit in, and the teasing seemed never to stop. To complicate insecurity matter even further was the diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the need to take medicine. The teasing causing the insecurity could not stay in fear the teasing would never stop. I developed persona’s...

...The church in England in the fourteenth century was a dominating presence in the life of nearly every citizen. Though the church presented certain advantageous and exploitive opportunities for some, the presence of religion was to others much more burdensome. Chaucer expresses the interruptive aspect of the church through the various characters and situations he creates within his writing. In the General Prologue to the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer utilizes rhyme scheme and detailed imagery of both physical traits and personality traits in his description of the Prioress and the Pardoner to satirize the fourteenth-century practice of sending individuals who lack any ecclesiastical tendencies to work in the church. While the Pardoner represents...

...Like many others he understood the risk, but then again he had nothing to lose. As the story progresses, his character is developed more and we get to know more about him. We come to know Murad as an avid reader who loves literature which is the reason he pursued an English degree in college. He grew up listening to the stories his father told him. After telling a story to two tourists, he finally realizes something. In the chapter “The Storyteller”, Lalami writes, “There was no use reading stories like this anymore, he needed to write his own. He thought about his father, who’d told stories to his children, and how they were already almost forgotten today” (186). Murad has been constantly reading stories written by others that he wants to read one he wrote himself. There is no meaning in recounting the stories of others when he has none of his own. But...

These films are often unsettling and rely on scaring the audience through a portrayal of their worst fears and nightmares. Horror films usually center on the arrival of an evil force, person, or event. Horror film may become as an adventures to some people. This is because the film may play with the viewer emotions. According to Danielle Braff on his article about Movies may cause special effects on the body, he stated that the people who are fascinated by horror movies tend to be the same people who love to sky-dive, go rock climbing and try extreme skiing adventures. The horror genre allows them the opportunity to experience events and people who...

...The representation of terrorism, Islam and Muslim identities on popular US series Homeland Introduction Images of Muslim and Islam have dramatically increased in the media coverage as well as popular culture ever since we have entered the “post-9/11 era”, as Elizabeth Poole observed. (2008:81) The shocking real life images from the horrifying terrorist attack in September 2011 has triggered various interpretation on the discourse of what it means to be Muslim and the image of Islam and its culture in the western media, and still have profound influence even after more than a decade and ongoing. Apart from the coverage on news media, TV entertainment, especially TV dramas also provide a powerful outlet for the popular prevailing discourses on Muslim and Islamic culture, which compare to news reports, leaves a more vivid and graphic impression on audience with its discourse and narratives. The proposed subject I am going to study is revolved around the representation of Islam and Muslim identity in the popular US TV drama Homeland. (Showtime, 2011) Homeland (Showtime, 2011) has been arguably the most successful TV series focusing on the theme of counter-terrorism and national security across the Atlantic since 2011, following its predecessor 24 (Fox, 2001) developed by the same producers. When asked what made the show distinctive compared to its predecessors, Damian Lewis, who played as Sgt Nicholas Brody, the male lead in Homeland replied, “We feel a bit differently...

...In: Raimo P. Hämäläinen and Esa Saarinen, eds. 2007. Systems Intelligence in Leadership and Everyday Life. Systems Analysis Laboratory, Helsinki University of Technology, Espoo. CHAPTER 11 Reasons of Systemic Collapse in Enron Matti Rantanen This article studies the moral development at Enron from the perspective of its long-term CEO and chairman Ken Lay. I focus on some critical decisions in the early years of Enron and speculate why Lay chose in favour of non-systems intelligent solutions in leading morale. According to the outlook developed it is plausible to think that immoral behaviour at Enron stemmed not so much from Lay’s immoral character but from his Christian values. Neglecting opportunities to change his value structure Lay avoided tough decisions that marked loss for others. Consequently, unable to make decisions objectively based on systemic rather than individual motives, he lost his opportunity in creating coherent corporate values promoting moral integrity. If the suggested causality is true, it underlines the importance of conscious moral leadership as an everyday discipline. Introduction This article discusses the story of Enron, the infamous American energy company that December 2, 2001 filed the largest bankruptcy case in US history, totalling losses around 66 billion US dollars,1 forcing 4,000 unemployed,2 and bringing down Arthur Andersen, 3 its auditing company. For many of the “bad” and publicly convicted Enron executives it has been the...

Historically, philosophy was the first form of theoretical knowledge. As a rational theoretical tool of comprehending the world, philosophy arose in ancient Greece in stiff battle with mythology and religious consciousness. It came out to lay the foundation for the evolvement of scientific consciousness and the emergence and development of the sciences - Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. In an environment rife with various and varying superstitions and myths, the study of the History of Science and Philosophy of Science becomes crucial, lest science itself falls within the ambit of mythology and superstition and becomes another form of myth even in the hands of the tutored. The study of the History of Science...

The last generation to be unaugmented. The last generation to be intellectually alone. The last generation to be limited by our bodies. We are the first. The first generation to be augmented. The first generation to be intellectually together. The first generation to be limited only by our imaginations. We stand both before and after, balancing on the razor edge of the Event Horizon of the Singularity. That this sublime juxtapositional tautology has gone unnoticed until now is itself remarkable. We're so exquisitely privileged to be living in this time, to be born right on the precipice of the greatest paradigm shift in human history, the only thing that approaches the importance of that reality is finding like minds that realize the same, and being able to make some connection with them.
