was tricked with lies. His portrayal of a white male is seen as its peak. “There seems to be a more or less tacit agreement among literary scholars that because American literature has been clearly the preserve of white male views, genius, and power, those views, genius, and power are removed from and without relationship to the presence of black people in the United States-a population that antedated every American writer of renown and was perhaps the most furtively radical, impinging force on the

Brewster’s Nothings English 101 March 18, 2011 Richard Pryor never lived. Sure, he was alive, but he wasted an entire lifetime and a lot of money until the day he had a heart attack. How he became a comedian is somewhat a mystery, as his live stand up show makes watching grass grow hysterical. His best work was in movies he did with Gene Wilder, who is still alive. Could it be that the racist Richard Pryor destroyed his health using cocaine? Or, could it be that he destroyed his health

middle of a lecture on weaving, “Yellappa died.” The announcement was so matter-of-fact that it took my breath away. In the world of indigo dyes, Yellappa was a master craftsman, the last of the great dyers. It was as if a Picasso or Mozart had died. A genius dies in India and the news is met with silence. For me, as an anthropologist who is perpetually writing on the history of loss and erasure, it was as if Ishi, the last Indian of the Yahi tribe, had died. When Ishi died, a language died, a way of life

Does that sound familiar? Yes, it should sound like what Americans know to be as boxing and also to Joyce Carol Oates, “The Cruelest Sport”. “The Cruelest Sport”

as a juvenile fool who could easily be made fun of to his face without him realizing. Much like other mentally disabled people during the era of the civil rights movement, he was seen as an anomaly in society. Charlie believed that once he became a genius, he would suddenly fit in with everybody else around him and that people would treat him like an equal human being. On the contrary, becoming smart only alienated him more. In Progress Report 13, Charlie and Professor Nemur visited a convention to

How did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart change music? That is what this research paper will be about. To me, Mozart’s music is at level of perfection that is unreached by any other composer. Unlike most composers where a composer would only excel in one aspect of music, Mozart excelled in all aspects of music. Mozart had melodic grace like Handel, harmonic complexity like Bach and intellectual developmental techniques as well as emotional content like Beethoven. Mozart also reigned supreme in all styles
