...Rawson World Literature Assignment 1 An analysis of the role of minor characters in The Visit and Chronicle of a Death Foretold in establishing a collectivistic or individualistic society. March 13, 2011 Word Count: 1073 Rawson 1 Without any characters; there is no story. Every tale needs a knight in shining armor to save the endangered princess or a misguided hero to meet a tragic end. A protagonist and an antagonist are the most basic of writing conventions and are crucial to the story. It is important; however, to not overlook the roles of minor characters in the plot. For example, Snow White would have been a radically different story without the seven dwarves. This exemplifies how minor characters can drastically influence the outcome of a story in a number of ways. In both Durrenmatt’s The Visit and Marquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold, the minor characters have an influential role in determining the fate of the protagonist. These minor characters are used by Durrenmatt and Marquez to establish an individualistic or collectivistic society within their works and by doing so isolate the protagonists and lead them to their deaths. In a collectivistic society, the people tend to view themselves as part of a group and hold the needs of the group over that of the individual. This is the society which Durrenmatt has presented in The Visit. In Durrenmatt’s The Visit, the town of Guellen is populated by minor characters lacking any names. Throughout the play...

...In Blake Hurst’s article, he argues why modern farming methods are more preferable than organic farming methods. In his article he points out the reasons as to why farmers do not benefit from organic farming. He starts by mentioning his frustration towards a airplane passenger who lacks the knowledge of livestock farming. He quotes, “I’m so tired of people who wouldn’t visit a doctor who used a stethoscope instead of an MRI demanding that a farmer like me use 1930s technology to food”. (Hurst 2009) Through this quote Hurst is explaining that if people do not trust a doctor who practices old medical methods then why do they demand farmers to practice old farming methods. He later states, “Farming has always been messy and painful, and bloody...

...The Beginning of Industry In Lowell Massachusetts Sean McDonough Excelsior College Online Abstract Lowell Massachusetts was one of the great industry meccas of its time. Rogers (1978) described the founding, in the 1820’s, as the real birthplace of the Industrial age in America. With its combination of textile mills, farmers and housing from different nations and backgrounds it quickly began to boom. The cotton mill boom in Lowell is credited to shutting down the mom and pop workshops and replacing them with factory style mass production factories. The Beginning of Industry In Lowell Massachusetts Many credits the use of Cotton Mills and factory style industry in Lowell to the beginning of the Industrial boom in America. Lowell Massachusetts was founded in 1820 and by the end of the decade employed over 5,000 workers in the newly formed Mills. Prior to that Lowell had a majority of mom and pop workshops, which were responsible for the industry in the area. It is a little known fact that Lowell actually started out as an experiment to see if Industry would work in that area. By the 1830’s Mills, Manufactories and other industry had started to take shape and began employing many immigrant workers, such as the Irish. It is about that time that urban areas and “company” housing started to sprout. On the outset there were about 20 houses, which was not nearly enough to house in migrant workers. Along with the housing being an issue, an issue of suitable workers...

The reason I’m writing to you is to talk to you about the working conditions of a child in a factory during the second industrial era. Generally it was not a good thing considering children as young as three years old were the ones working. The working conditions looked something like: long hours of work about 10-14 hours with short breaks during the shifts, and also injuries which could have led to death was also a major occurrence a good example is the accident which happened in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory. This resulted to 146 people losing their lives majority being teenagers. In addition to...

...HICHAM ZAIDI History 202 900041277 Essay I The late nineteenth century was the transition phase of the history of the US. Everything started with second industrial revolution (1850’s). It led to major developments like easier communication and transportation, and vast technological and scientific advancements. Big industries and factories arose, altering life styles… America became the attractive spot for all immigrants for its seeming endless new opportunities. People from all over the world, from all the different cultures came to the US to form what we called the “Salad Bowl”. Often these cultures were antagonistic to one another. Communities were formed and each one strictly reserved on itself to conserve itself, but they were to face new social “phenomena” that contradicted their beliefs and customs. Those new social trends were born from industrialisation, being a necessity to its functioning, but disoriented people from their traditional vision, of life in general. They, thus, sought justification to their altered social behaviours due to new living conditions. The post-industrial period, was as a historian calls it: the era representing a “SEARCH FOR ORDER”. It was distinctively manifested professionally and intellectually. The contributions brought, by industrialisation, to the transportation and communication patterns were such that...

...Children has always been defenseless against the many atrocities and ill-wills throughout human history, and according to an article on History.Com, 18 percent of American workers were under the age of 16 during the 1900s. During the Industrial Revolution, child labor rose to a new pinnacle in taking advantage of young children. During the Industrial Revolution, children as young as 6 and 7 years were compelled to work 10-12 hours a day and sometime more, in dreadful and hazardous environment with few breaks. Consequently, many children became sick, some were injured, and others killed operating dangerous machinery. Not only did they have to put up with the long hours, and horrendous working conditions, but they also, had to deal with the meagre wages they got. Since most children were from poverty stricken homes and their families depended on their wages, they were not allowed to go to school, thereby depriving them of an education. Labor reformers, educational reformers and leaders of the mid 1900s advocated for the elimination of child labor, thus the establishing of the National Child Labor Committee in 1904. The process was long and...
