The heat was intense. The orange light shone on the desert, drying up the remaining puddles of water into vapour, rising into the atmosphere. A lizard crawled slowly, almost dying, parched and with a hide so leather like, one would think it was crisp fried. Slowly, I heard the intense ringing of the siren. Waaang waaaang waaang. It was time to get inside our shelters. The shelters were not made of concrete. Unlike the olden days, concrete was the material of choice. All buildings were once made from stone, from cement mixed with water to form hard solid blocks. ...

Mental Illness as an Escape from Cruel Society in The Bluest Eye, Tender is the Night and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

Mental illness in literature is often a way to accentuate eccentricities, make a character seem dangerous, or lend a character a greater sense of tragedy. The best examples, however, involve using the specter of mental illness as a way to reflect on the way society oppresses the Other, and how these people can use it to empower themselves and their own sense of agency. This latter example is highlighted in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, F. Scott Fitzgerald’ ...

PEOPLE:

Amelia Earhart Amelia Earhart was born July 24, 1897, to a lawyer's family. Her love for aircraft came during the World War I. Amelia was a nurse in the hospital next to the airfield.

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?Were you in the yard with your wife and children?Or working on some stage in L.A.?Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smokeRisin' against that blue sky?Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor?Or did you just sit down and cry?Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones?And pray for the ones who don't know?Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble?And sob for the ones left below?Did you burst out with pride ...

What does he believe is the idea that is fundamentally resistant even to the deepest of doubts? And why does Descartes begin his epistemology like this, anyway? Rene Descartes propounded his theory of radical doubt where he insisted on the systematic process of doubting one’s beliefs in a bid to determine or ascertain that which is indeed true. Descartes, in his radical doubt, advocated for doubting ...

Analysis of Philosophy and Falsification by Antony Flew

Antony Flew starts our three-path examination on the ramifications that adulteration has on religious philosophy by demonstrating that any philosophical explanation that is postured must remained up to the same test as any declaration: There must fundamentally be a relating nullification of that affirmation. Most philosophical explanations may not compare with a nullification; that is to say that there is no conceded case in which the announcement could not hold genuine. In denying that there could be an announcement that could nullify any philosophical articulation (i.e. "God made the world"; "God has an arrangement for us"), our announcement, essentially, kicks the ...

The 1970s was a decade of the public’s disappointment with the government and its policies, domestic and foreign, social and economic. It was the time of counterculture and various movements and protests that followed the example of the civil rights movement.

1. I think experimental fiction is very interesting. I find absurdist fiction most compelling because I think it, in a way reflects real life. Life in a sense is absurd. There are things in the world that cannot be explained. There are many religions of people saying this, or saying that. It is hard to know what to believe, whom to believe and what is real. So absurdist fiction, while it reflects reality in absurd ways, in a way is perhaps an accurate way to represent reality—which is often absurd. 2. I also find metafiction quite compelling, since it is ...

The Native Americans that can be found in North America have their myths explaining how they were created and the reason as to why they occupy certain regions in America. Moreover, these myths are seen to be very different from each other and have different concepts and ideologies. The reason as to why there is no unified body associated with the mythologies is due to the different tribal groups that make up the Native Americans (Birrell, 1993). The tribes have their own creation stories in relation to how the world came into being, the appearance of people, and the ...

Venus Revenge

The house perched on a cliff overlooking the bright blue bay. The channel that ran under the house had risen from the tide that came in, in the early evening. The water kissed the floor of the little house and made a slurping sound. Venus stirred in her sleep.

Western civilization has often tried to segregate variations from the established social norm. Prisons, universities and mental institutions were devised as a way to ghettoize those who think and act differently from others, giving them a place in society that is, at the same time, out of it. In the case of the latter of these organizations, in the 1960s there was much questioning of the nature of the people that truly deserved to be in it, and even if this was a proper separation or not. Many believed that this was a form of social oppression, with the psychiatrists holding excessive control ...

Five months fleeted away, and how sad I am today,

Hina my love of every day, how I long to see your face, Our love fragrance of fresh hay, to blossom to firmament phase, How slow the days drag, in anticipation of your imminence, Eight months and you’ll flag, our journey of love’s providence You are the one I knew, the anointed day I met you, The red dress artfully hewn, adorning you a graceful hue, Like keys jumping to a tune, your hair in the breeze flew, How time flew, in the listening to your musical tune, It was due ...

Ken Kesey was a stalwart American author whose novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, remains as one of the most noted literary works of the past century. The author was deeply influenced by the time he spent with the patients at the Menlo Park Veteran’s Hospital whom he saw as misfits into the conventional structure of the society. These individuals were hence ostracized and left in the dungeon of the asylum from where they could pose no hindrance to the normative functions of the society. The author portrays the hospital as the microcosm of the society and ...

There is a man also guarding his sheep and another who appears to be fishing. The other man looks like he is swimming in the sea. At the far end of the horizon the sun is setting and the ships are docking on the land. It looks like a society that is carrying out its activities normally before the day comes to an ...

The two atoms drifted toward one another, slowly and randomly at first, then with more urgency. The closer they became, ironically, the faster they flew. There were other atoms floating around this void, but an unseen force propelled these two at rates of speed that surprised both of them. Other atoms had made contact with one another, but at far lower rates of speed. The sheer speed made both of them glow a bright gold, although it was only a gold that you would have been able to see under a microscope.

When the atoms met, their speed created a violent shock that ...

ABSTRACT

During World War II, the Allies faced an enemy with technological capabilities that matched their own. The Germans and Japanese boasted precision weaponry that was, in many ways, the envy of the world, and this skill had much to do with the success the Axis forces encountered during the war’s early years. But as the conflict wore on, the Americans and British showed a remarkable ability to adapt not only their design and manufacture of aircraft and armaments to meet the challenge of the enemy, but also their combat tactics. The speed and maneuverability of modern aircraft required pilots ...

World War II saw the advent of many different types of new warfare - however, the most dramatic improvements came in the development of strategic bombing and multipurpose aircraft, with high flight ceilings, heavy armor, and incredibly large payloads and armaments. In World War II, the multi-engined heavy bomber became an important tool of aerial warfare. From carpet bombing to Fat Man and Little Boy, these large, slowly moving but intimidating aircraft ruled the skies of the Pacific Ocean and Europe. Two important pieces of aerospace technology that saw use in the war are the B-17 Flying Fortress and ...

It should be no surprise that the idea of utopia has often been explored by American writers, since one could argue that America itself exists as a sort of utopian ideal. The words of the Declaration of Independence posit a sort of utopia in their idealistic talk of ’life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ This is very bound up with the notion of America as a new world, a new place where fresh starts can be made and the mistakes of the past avoided: The utopian passages in Euro-American writings tended to elevate American spaces and colonists by comparing them to ...

Ken Kesey (1935 – 2001) published One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest in 1962 – a crucial point in American social history. The McCarthyism of the 1950’s was receding and Kesey’s novel seems, in retrospect to foreshadow or to anticipate the enormous social changes that were to come to in the 1960’s – from the Civil Rights movement to the explosion of rock music, from hippies to experimentation with drugs, from alternative lifestyles to Woodstock. Kesey had worked in a mental hospital while he was a student and was partly drawing on his own experiences of what he he saw and ...

Throughout history, sections of the community in many parts of the world have adopted some subcultures quite unique to the common culture, and sometimes very controversial. Some of these subcultures actually evolve to develop into relatively new cultures, religions and beliefs, while others are short lived but leave some marks in the community. An example of such subcultures includes the hippies, punks and old religions (Falk and Falk 57). A comparison of these subcultures in their early development and their modern equivalent has been discussed in detail. Although the earlier versions of these subcultures share some common features with ...
