Social And Political Middle Class
648 wordsSamuel Richardson writes in the Preface of Pamela; Or Virtue Rewarded that the novels main purpose lies in its ability to give practical examples, worthy to be followed in the most critical and affecting cases, by the virgin, the bride, and the wife (Richardson, 31). I would argue that underneath Richardson's seemingly innocent novel of moral instruction lies a political instruction book for advancing the middle class. As a member of the middle class, Richardson wants to reduce the rights of the...

Women And Men Skinned Blacks
1,889 wordsMiscongention during slavery is the root of the color complex. Historically if one were to trace the origin of the color complex one would have to begin at slavery.

Make Me Feel French Revolution
1,041 wordsOn reading 'A Tale Of Two Cities', my general impression is that the French chapters are a lot more interesting to read. I prefer the chapters set in France because they are much more exciting and I am carried away by the novel whereas I found, that in the English chapters, they were all about Lucie and her undying love for her father and husband. This was, quite frankly, tedious and a waste of Dickens' effort to put some sentiment into these chapters which are set in London, a long way from the...
