It was just another cold day in the frozen land. But my instincts were signalling that it was not a day to travel. The weather seemed gloomy and perilous. Though I was warm in my hirsute, yet I wanted to sit by some fire. It was better to nestle in under a mound of snow and safeguard my balminess. To walk miles on such a day did not seem fascinating at all. Seemed foolish in fact! But something quelled my intuition and drove me to walk along this human- a man with queer actions. I felt a bout of nebulous disquiet which probed me ...

The two narratives, The Lottery and The One Who Walk Away from Omelas take us through the stories of two villages each with unique traditions that involve human sacrifice. These are rituals that have been blindly followed by the villagers, who even though understand why, are compelled to follow them. It appears as if people they never met, as they died long ago, designed the rules, which the villagers have to adopt and follow. Such traditions were passed onto them, and since those who understand their original meaning are not alive to witness, the suffering for them to undo ...

No little girl at just four years old wants to be away from her parents. I would have to be away from mine for five days of every week.

Times Square is renowned for being one of the busiest places in the world. In a place with so many meetings and gatherings happening simultaneously, it might feel overwhelming to try to tie all this into a single common purpose. But then it's the diversity of New York that makes this city so special and run the way it does. The people of New York City can be divided into three main groups: business employees, laborers and tourists. These three groups are all rather easy to identify, especially when one makes the effort to take a step back and ...

What is Disobedience? Analyzing Ursula K. Le Guin’s Short Story

The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas
There are various ways disobedience can be defined. In the article of Erich Fromm, entitled “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem”, he mentioned that there are varieties of obedience, wherein others are life affirming and others, destructive. Fromm proves that there are psychological and moral problems attached to obedience. From this comes the question: what exactly does disobedience mean? This article analyzes the short story written by Ursula K. Le Guin, entitled “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”, using the essay of Erich Fromm. It appears that there are three ...

The main aim is to make a particular scenario look real and evoke various emotions and attention from the audience.

Introduction

Community development can be a complex issue, and understanding the needs and the difficulties of different communities is fundamental to community success. There are many different schools of thought, and each suggests something different: some suggest that gentrification is the answer for difficult neighborhoods, while others suggest that social programs can bring about the appropriate change. However, what many different thinkers agree is that the children are the foundational basis for changing a community as a whole; there is potential in the children of a community, regardless of how difficult or poor the conditions are (Foster-Fishman et al., 2001).

Remember the coal miners ordered to war in Manchuria,

the land of the Rising Sun’s “East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere”;
remember the factory workers who joined the resistance in Vladivostok,
relocated at gunpoint by Stalin in ’37 to Kazakhstan.

Remember the “Comfort Corps” raped forty times a day,

the woman screaming who could not scream because she was on fire.

In Cholla-namdo we used to break the bones of corpses’ feet

so their souls would’t walk back from the other world, but would you walk back?

Once the guards forced us to watch a comrade being sinned alive.

Later they bludgeoned prisoners to death to save bullets.
What won’t we do to each other?
After liberation I saw a frenzy of reprisals against former collaborators.
An old man—guilty or innocent?—lashed to a grille of barbed wire.

The idea of slavery and sacrifice has always been a potent one in fiction and art; the concept of other people suffering for us (and how we let them do that) calls up emotions of guilt and gratitude. In the short stories “The Fluted Girl” and “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” and the songs “Right Where It Belongs” and “BYOB,” this idea of perfect but hollow worlds propped up by our own slavery, or that of others, is expressed clearly. In these works, society is illustrated to be a system that favors the wealthy and privileged at the expense ...

An epic is a poetic genre that is traditional in nature, but which has also been used in modern times.

Puns and Riddles in School-Aged Children

I went to my neighborhood to observe the school aged children. They were children from kindergarten to grade two. Their ages were ranging from two to seven years, and six among them were girls; while four were boys. I asked them many riddles, pun on words, and recorded the following information. A pun is a funny application of word/words that have similar sounds, but are changed in meaning; or simply call it a play with words.
Homonyms and polysemy is used in puns to make them humorous as homonyms are words having same sounds and lexical polysemy is about having ...

Jesus is the central figure in Christianity and Christian faith. Both Christian believers and those who criticize His very nature have said a lot about him. The mystery that surrounds his birth, life and death makes him a central figure of debate. Paul Johnson’s in his book ‘Jesus’ looks at the life of Jesus and the events that surrounded it. He takes us through more than just what the scriptures give us as he analyses his life and how the events relate to our day to day Christian life. It is a book that shades more light on Christianity and the ...

Irony, Point of View, and the Significance of Good and Evil inin Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”
Ursula Le Guin’s short story, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” describes the city of Omelas and its people as a utopian place of near perfect joy and perfection, with one exception.

The catch is, the citizens of Omelas know that “their happiness, the beauty of their city,” ...

Internationally, obesity is a growing problem due to a lack of exercise and an increase in unhealthy eating and home entertainment. Increasingly, more and more people rely on take out and processed food to satiate their hunger and are not doing the exercise to compensate this.

The desire to give them a full account of what happened chocks me but the depth and breadth of our problems prevent me from giving a ...

For this assignment, I took the time to observe the built environment in my neighborhood. In my area, I noted that we have some fast food restaurants. The neighborhood also has some parks.

The area also has groceries and sidewalks where pedestrians can walk and cycle as well. Moreover, the neighborhood also has public transport system. Such elements help to make up the built environment in my neighborhood. All these aspects of built environment in my checklist impact ...

Introduction

It is very rarely that a story could have an effect on the reader. This is why I am thankful that I encountered Wendy Mass’ “Every Soul a Star.” As I read though the story, I was able to relate to the experiences of the main characters. Being a young person I also meet challenges where I need to change. The story gives its readers important insights on how important and inevitable change is. In the story, three young people went through life changing experiences in a place called Moon Shadow Campground.

Kansas State University is one of the strongest universities in the Mid-West. It has a beautiful campus filled with many green trees and breathtaking views. However, when it turns dark the campus’s unique features are changed into dangerously dark corners, and hard to navigate dim sidewalks. The reality is that the lighting infrastructure used on the campus has not been adequately updated to reflect the campus’s growth, the increase in on-campus activity after dark, or the changes in society that demand light in order to ensure safety. I, therefore, propose that the campus needs to double the ...

The use of cityscapes in cinema began in the mid-1920s with Berlin being the birth city of these new types of movies.

Using cities as sites for shooting movies allows an understanding issues of the public sphere and social space (Mennel 32). Employing city landscape when shooting movies also help in promoting an understanding of modern aesthetics. Linklater’s movie Before Sunset tells a romantic story ...

St. Augustine Confessions

The confessions of Saint Augustine take us through the life of transformation for a Christian. The time comes in the life of an individual to make crucial decisions for his or her life, which maybe contrary to their previous believes.

However, as the child brows, he/she is exposed to a different environment with more compounded influences. For instance, Augustine grew up in a Christian background with his mother imparting Christian values into his life. The time came when he ...

Introduction/Thesis

The idea of ‘everyday’ is intriguing because no two people see this as a common phenomenon; they see it differently. It can be a time anytime of the day, be it morning, afternoon, evening, or even night, or it could be routines or habitual activities that are repeated by individuals. Whatever the act, the ‘everyday’ phenomenon is hard to define as everyone perceives this differently. When perceived from an artistic point of view, the concept of ‘everyday’ finds a whole new meaning; it harbors on alienation, interaction, space and place, as well as materiality and dirt. Artists Francis Alys and Thomas Hirschhorn ...

Abstract

American Indian education is one of the units taught in major colleges and universities in the United States of America. It is a unit that was introduced with the aim of helping history students understand the ancient history of the Indians who had then migrated into the country. This unit gives details of the assimilation of Indians, their culture and traditions into the lifestyles of the whites. In short, this was a long-term project that was intended to narrow the racial gap between Indians and Native Americans. Its introduction in schools was aimed at bringing together students from these two different ...

When I was a child, I idolized authority figures like a fireman, a police officer, and a soldier. Regardless of who the individual was, I respected what they did and adored them for it. In the ignorance of my youth, I failed to see the corruption and abuse of power in the authority figures; however, at some point in my perception of them, a line was crossed. Though this metaphoric line cannot be clearly defined, those in positions of authority should never be allowed to continue with the neglect of their responsibilities, considering the respective oaths they took. Given the firsthand experience of being a ...
