Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein

It is the reason men have gone to the moon; the reason mars is being investigated; and the reason for medical advancement. Discovering the unknown should sometimes be left alone; in the case of Victor Frankenstein “a little knowledge is dangerous;” and his pursuit of knowledge only brings him misery.

Book Review: Black Power on Campus: The University of Illinois, 1965-75

In Joy Ann Williamson's Black Power on Campus: The University of Illinois, 1965-75, the author charts an interesting time in higher education, as the Civil Rights Movement and its aftermath began to be felt on college campuses, integrating black and white students. The Black student movement at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was a perfect example of that phenomenon, as black students doubled in enrollment during this decade. Mostly white universities experienced the most dramatic increase in enrollment, creating a new black presence in the student body reflective of the need of American schools to accept a more racially diverse world. ...

The Host by Stephenie Meyer is the novel which will not leave one indifferent. To my mind, this novel touches one of the most timely and critical questions of the contemporary world – humanity. Even though the book tells a story about aliens who invade the world and subdue minds of human beings, we can track quite a similarity between that imaginary world and contemporary one. Thus, the main idea of the novel is actually triumph of humanity and love. The whole novel is a struggle between an alien soul and a human soul. From the very beginning we are involved into the ...

The setting of the novel, for the most part, remains the caves wherein the group of human survivors attempt to keep on living, all the while attempting to figure out what to do about Wanda.

All of the characters are trapped in their own caves - Melanie is trapped inside her own body, as is Wanda; the human characters are trapped into a hard life that none of them asked for, and so on. The claustrophobia helps to bring ...

Modern life of an ordinary member of human society is quite organized, predicted and planned in a certain way.

Nowadays, our lives are planned from the rise to dawn and from birth to death. Being a ...

Meursault is the main character of the novel “The Stranger,” in which Camus wanted to emphasize the problem of belief in contemporary society.

The novel shows three stages of development, through which Meursault eventually learns to deal with the lack of meaning in life. In the first part of the book, Meursault is an isolated being who ...

It is important to comprehend the reason why Hiroshima was a likely target. According to Hersey (107), “the ruined city had flourished and had been an inviting target mainly because it had been one of the most important military- command and communications centres in Japan, and would have become the Imperial headquarters had the islands been invaded and Tokyo been captured.” In other words, how had the dropping of the bomb changed the lives of the survivors?

THE BULLY, THE BULLIED, AND THE BYSTANDER

Barbara Coloroso’s “The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander” revolves around her view of bullying as a drama. In said drama, each character usurps the given role and adopts behavioral changes while adapting to the ensuing performance. Coloroso centers her writing at possible ways of rewriting the lines given to each character to break the recurring violence. In her views, bullying entails different forms of imposing terror, intimidation, and torment while ensuring that others avoid the bullied person (Coloroso, 2010, p.102). Therefore, Coloroso (2010) believes that because children can learn how to intimidate (p.67), said behavior is ...

Globalization and its Discontents is a pleasurable and thought- inciting book. It’s written by one of the most renowned Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz in 2002. It is perhaps the utmost decipherable, lucid, and delicate attack against globalization during the past couple of years. Though the author struggles, in a slightly rigid style with some shadows of pride, against his ideology of deceitful free-market mindsets, his style is unpretentious and reachable to a widespread audience. However, this is also illusive to some extend. ‘Although the writer stresses on time and again that he is not directing an attack against market principles ...
