Essays on Winner

After evaluating all three of these excellent stories, I have determined that the winner of this fiction contest must be “Rock Springs” by Richard Ford. Telling the story of a father on the run from the law, attempting to start a new life for himself and his daughter, “Rock Springs” does a tremendous job of showcasing the unfairness of justice, and the inability for people to truly escape their sins. For its incredible command of character, its thematic richness, and the endlessly compelling prose, “Rock Springs” is the clear winner of this contest. Ford centers “Rock Springs” around the ...

The central question in Paul Pierson and Jacob S. Hacker’s Winner-Take-All Politics is why Americans so often seem to oppose programs or ideas that would directly benefit them.

In the book, these two political scientists consider the reasons for this being the case. Moreover, they contend that Americans reason to be concerned about the fact that the wealth of the nation is becoming ever more concentrated in the ...

The subject matter of electoral systems is the main component that anyone interested in democracy and governance should focus on. For any democratic and representative democracy country, elections play a very critical role in determining those who are going to rule.

Achieving the two goals ultimately relies on the electoral systems which are in place. An electoral system is defined as formal structure and means of ...

The depiction of a setting as the main hindrance or destructive force behind the fall of a protagonist is evident in William Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper, and D.

In my opinion, there is no need to simplify the process of elections in the United States. I think that there may be several things that should be changed, meaning substituted but not simplified.

I think that the system in which there are constituents – regular citizens – who elect representatives who that elect candidates for the office of the President of the United States is not very reliable because there is always a good chance that elected representatives will adhere to the initial expectations of those who elected them. Therefore, I think this is a ...

Having an astonishing and terrifying plot, the short story under analysis represents a particular interest, as it is permeated with a wide scope of literary tools employed to expose the author’s intention and deep sense behind the lines. One of the most significant means of sense creation and development in the story is symbolism. This literary element is considered to be the core of the short story, and it saturates the text with the conceived meaning, mood, attitude, effect. Though Sherley Jackson in her “The Lottery” (2008) illustrates an ordinary bucolic environment, its antihumanistic rituals appear to be ...

Human history is riddled with stories of competitions where there are a clear winner or winners. I believe competition is necessary because it gives people motivation to continue to get better at school, work, or sports. It is beneficial because, without competition, people would see no point in getting better or trying to succeed. Most importantly, competition in childhood prepares a person for the competition they will face as adults. A child who does learn how to compete with others may have issues dealing with society. Eliminating competition would be bad for society. The majority of humans tend to ...

The Lottery was a short story written by Shirley Jackson about a small village of around 300 people practicing a tradition or a ritual wherein all families, as initially represented by the heads of their families participate in a lottery.

Abstract Every speech is embellished by metaphoric expression, despite its context, content, and tone. In different fields the application of metaphors may vary, yet still they are applied regardless the situation consciously or unconsciously. In the speech of adults, metaphoric expressions play pivotal role serving as the instruments of persuasion, simplification, and demonstration. There is less evidence that explain the utilization of metaphors by children. Some scholars insist that children use metaphoric expressions unconsciously, while the other researchers imply that they implement the metaphors due to their symbolic perception of the environment.
