Ugly Dumb And Worthless Power Of The Word Celie
1,138 wordsWhile reading The Color Purple I was shocked by the development of Celie's inner-self. Her entire being was defined by those around her. It appeared as if Celie had no hand in creating who she was. I could picture Shug, Mr. , and Her father molding Celie's body like a piece of clay until Celie truly believed she was an ugly, dumb, and worthless servant.

Man Of Action Rules And Regulations
3,354 wordsDostoevsky, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Jaspers write of many important issues concerning our existence and society in general, but the one that interests me the most is the belief in the ignorance and stupidity of the majority of the human race. We are so narrow-minded, so asleep, so afraid of exploring ourselves and what is beyond this all-encompassing story we have created and in which we live (and ironically hate).
