Create A Sense Sides Of A Story Clarity
628 wordsHow can we achieve clarity through writing? To judge anything with any degree of clarity and accuracy we would need all the information past, present, and future and how it will affect all concerned to make a perfect judgment. When no one has that skill, ability or information, you might agree, it may be unwise to judge.

Blind Man Blurred Vision

Character Flaw Social Structure
702 wordsIn the movie "School Ties" racism was shown through eyes of a Jewish teen at a catholic private school, where he was a minority among the ignorant students who had spent their whole lives at boarding schools. It also tried to portray this teenager, David, as the hero who triumphed over his inner demons as well as society's. The movie did a nice job of portraying David as the hero only on too major of a scale, because he was only a minor hero as compared to his roommate, Bruce. The prejudices tha...

The Celtic Voice In Walter Scotts Waverley
1,128 wordsThe Celtic Voice in Walter Scott's 'Waverley' One aspect of this novel which may not have received its due attention is Scott's emphasis on the strength and vitality of traditional Scottish culture, especially folk poetry and music. The presence of such an element is hardly surprising, in as much as Scott's first important literary work was an edition of Scottish folk ballads ('Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border', 1803). The Celtic cultural aspect of 'Waverley' is scarcely mentioned by the author...

Affirmative Action And Racial Tension
1,743 wordsAffirmative action. What was its purpose in the first place, and do we really need it now in the liberal super sensitive nineties?

To simplify her studies, and to give her readers a better understanding of the concept of Pride and Prejudice, Austen does not focus our attention on the larger social structure as a whole, but skillfully directs our consideration only to a small, isolated segment of the society. In Pride and Prejudice, Austen scrutinizes a microcosm, people dwelling within similar cultural and socia...
