The Beginning
One day a man was warned that there were severe storms coming. As the man sat in his living room reading, he heard a ruckus on the street and went to the window.

I’m waiting for God.” The flood began by filling the streets and covering the bottom floor of the man’s house, so he climbed the stairs ...

The play captures the themes of loneliness and love, in a way that makes the reader, or the audience, awe at the depth of creativity of David Henry Hwang.

The first thought in reading the title of the short story Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway is to wonder what the title means. Once the reader gets into the story and becomes caught up in the interaction between the man and his female companion, the title may slip away after the first and second mention as symbolism and the author’s presentation of gender characteristics. However important and interesting the other aspects of Hills Like White Elephants may be, it is proposed that the entire story is based around the premise of the representation of the hills ...

René Magritte's oil on canvas painting The Son of Man (1964) has become a very popular visual text in a short period of time. The symbolism and unusual and enigmatic create a holistic picture of the semantic code that every viewer tries to interpret. Although the canvas contains a fairly small number of different details, as contrasted with Bosch or Rubens' paintings, yet there is a deep consisting of several layers meaning in it. The painting contains a number of visual symbols, which have already become some kind of the archetypes of modern society. The Son of Man (see ...

Part 1 – Assault and Battery

The terms “assault and battery” are often used together although these are two separate crimes. An assault is defined as an action that causes a person to feel the threat of impending violence. An action such as raising a fist or moving menacingly towards the intended victim constitutes an assault, even if no physical contact has occurred. The crime of battery occurs when there is physical contact. Grabbing a person’s arm or punching or striking a person constitutes a case of battery (Baldwin, 2007).

Many authors regard their work as being a single standalone piece of art. By this logic, it can be safe to assume that the authors work their literary pieces to stand out against similar genres of works. However, in some cases many different stories end up sharing the same motif and theme. In many cases like this, it is not because of two authors collaborating to come up with a theme, or lesson, to teach society but a stroke of luck. When forming their stories, authors use society around them to develop their characters, settings, and such so in ...

The new wave of feminism in the pop culture has developed newfound respect and meaning for the feminist pop icons and their music. One prominent feminist celebrity is Meghan Trainor. The musician is a self-proclaimed positive advocate of feminism who specializes in aesthetic and poppy doo-wop lyrics and videos that motivate young women to love themselves and reject the traditional pressures. While in most of her songs, the message seems to be positive, a closer analysis reveals several unsettling truths about the feminist messages. This essay strives to formulate a feminist assessment of the video and lyrics for “Dear ...

Gender roles are an important aspect of any society. It is vital to know the role of each sex in the society for a communal balance because men as well as women are expected to know their roles in the society and act according to what is expected of them.

While language is specific to humans, because this race is the only one capable of speaking due to its physical construction, communication is common to all other animals, regardless of species (Yule, 1996). Communication does not require words, but body language, signs, behaviors, etc., which transmit information, often unintentionally. On the other hand, language consists of sounds and syllables that shape an intentional information sharing process (Yule, 1996). Language is characterized by: displacement (the capacity of speaking about past, present and future), arbitrariness (the form of human language), productivity (the creativity to utter endless utterances), cultural transmission (passing ...

Leadership and communication are inseparable concepts because of their importance – a leader has to have highly developed communication skills in order to establish good relations with the staff.

This way, it is important to learn how to use the principles of effective leadership in order to satisfy the audience.
Leadership skills include the ability to create reasonable conditions for subordinates and the management of their actions along with the inspiration ...

A Comparison of Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and Johnson’s “Black Woman”

A Comparison of Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” and Johnson’s “Black Woman”
The short story, Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway, and the poem, Black Woman by Georgia Douglas Johnson, both focus on the struggle a woman experiences when contemplating an abortion. While both were written around the same time—“Hills Like White Elephants” in 1927 and “Black Woman” in 1918, each features characters that offer differing, distinct views of the issues surrounding the decision. This is in no small part because their lives are dramatically different, thanks to issues of race and socioeconomic status.
The ...

Ernest Hemingway’s short story, “Hills like White Elephants,” is a detailed account of a very surreal conversation between a man and a girl held over various types of alcohol at a train station in Spain. During the conversation, we learn that they are waiting for some sort of operation, which the man repeatedly describes as, “simple”. The girl seems to make fun of much of what the man has to say. Their conversation seems somewhat surreal and is difficult to follow, because the story doesn’t provide much in the way of context for the content of their ...

According to the story, the rapist murdered a woman and then murdered her, while dumping her body at a distance from the beach. Rape is defined as sexual assault against a person, which can involve sexual intercourse and sexual penetration of any sort to a non-consenting party, against ...

The apparent claims of alcohol intake being beneficial to some people and groups are evident in Peter DeLottinville’s 1981/82 writing of Joe Beef of Montreal and the 2006 publication of John A. Macdonald and the Bottle by Ged Martin. Based on the Canadian societies of the mid-nineteenth century, the ideologies of both writings seem to point out a single factor: alcohol can sometimes benefit a person and in others, promote a group. By extension, after reading both texts, rather than encounter the expected demerits of “the bottle” in a politician’s life, or the social evils of taverns, ...

Cormac McCarthy was born in 1936 and has enjoyed some critical and popular acclaim for his fiction, but his reputation soared with the publication of The Road in 2006. In 2007 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and in 2008 the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction, a highly prestigious UK book award. Greenwood (120) comments, “While McCarthy’s work has been understood as quintessentially American, there is something transcendent about The Road.” However, judged against McCarthy’s other fiction there seems to be an overwhelmingly bleak nihilism and paucity of hope in the post-apocalyptic world that ...

If we consider theology as the study of God, or the study of the divine, or the study of the nature of God, then the definition that Mueller puts forth for theology and his justification for taking part in its study make a lot of sense. He breaks down the word into its two Greek roots: theos for “god” and logos for “word” or “understanding” (Mueller 2011, p. 28), and that leaves one with a wide range of possible interpretations. Given that Mueller has an “S.J.” after his name, of course, we must conclude that he will take on ...

This paper will look at love, sex and gender within the backdrop of postmodernism, existentialism and orientalism in the novels The Women of Algiers in Their Apartment by Assia Djebar, Foam of the Daze by Boris Vian and The Lover by Marguerite Duras. In the novels love/ and sex are shown as something that a woman has no control over, something that destroys due to its intensity, and something that forever changes a person, respectively. While gender is seen as being something that disenfranchises women in a male dominant, unequal society and something that can destroy a man if ...

Human Sexuality Behavior at the Nightclub

Introduction
A night club is always composed of different individuals of different genders, ages, and even different sexual orientations. This is so in instances when one visits the club on a normal night when the club does not have the various shows, for example, the 80’s show or when somebody visits a gay or lesbian club, since the composition of the club on that particular day or time will not really have variety as desired by this research.

A marriage union is anchored on faithfulness and a promise to withhold the fidelity of the house to one partner for a lifetime. Society has always held that infidelity is a wrong thing if not hurtful to the people. It tends to affect the marriage if it is discovered and if the marriage does not end peacefully, then the people leave in hate and fear of maiming or even killing each other. Sex is a pleasure, and past experiences with specific people tend to stick to the mind.

Evolution from Hunting and Gathering to an Agricultural Society

The Neolithic Revolution is also known as the Neolithic Demographic Transition. Data indicate that this began about 12,500 years ago. People formed communities and they developed settlements as they began to domesticate certain species of plants (Tignor, 23). This “revolution” occurred in several places around the world. The earliest revolution occurred in the Fertile Crescent area of Mesopotamia between 10,000 to 8,000 BC, in the Kuk Early Agricultural Site of Melanesia at about 8000 BC, and in Subsaharan Africa at about 2500 BC.

Evidently, Judge Brack is the “manly” character in Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler just because his occupation means that he possesses money and power, qualities that continue to epitomize masculinity even in conventional societies. Notably, aside from his apparent confidence as a judge, the man is also keen to exert his influence and have the others serve his whims. For illustration purposes, one can consider Judge Brack’s exchange with Hedda Tesman after the former delivers news of Eilert Lovborg’s suicide. In Hedda’s words, she became “subject to [Brack’s] will and [his] demands” after he subtly ...
