... of Ezra Pound calls it a “red herring� and advises us to “keep one’s eyes on Pound’s texts, and avoid generalities about Imagism� (Kenner p.58). Keeping this advice in mind, let us examine what we know about Imagism as a movement and a philosophy. The doctrine, which came to be known as Imagism is guided by three simple tenets, set forth by Pound, “H.D.� (Hilda Doolittle), and Richard Aldington in 1912. The first states that the “thing� dealt with will be done so directly, whether subjectively or objectively (Spirit of Romance p.219). Pound insisted that the poem must present to the reader ...

... class of American society as this time in history, and even brings up the topic of racism and sexism in the recall of the event. It seems that the ships crew and the lower class passengers were the most courageous in the eventful two and half hours it took for the ship to totally go under. He provides quotes from the various selections, one being the statistics of death, by class. These statistics show that, in actuality, more of the upper class passengers survived than the lower classes (by both percentage, and total people). Updike also examines, in depth, the cultural effect of the sinking of the Titanic. T ...

... and two, agency and resistance to that racism (in the MacTeer family). The story's focus, however, is on the Breedloves, and readers are immediately faced with the dissonance between the realities of the Breedloves'--and especially Pecola's--lives and the chapter headings that begin with excerpts from the white, middle-class Dick & Jane reader. Much as Pecola's world falls apart in the novel, the Dick & Jane passages, repeated three times, degenerate into formless, meaningless print: "seemothermotherisverynice." The object of scorn for her "ugliness" from her family and acquaintances, Pecola yearns to become beautif ...

... December. Phoenix Jackson is "very old and small ", and walks like the "pendulum in a grandfather clock" ever so carefully with her "thin, small cane made from an umbrella." The description of Phoenix Jackson at the beginning of this story gives the reader a glimpse of how difficult this trip is going to be for an elderly woman such as her. The description "Her eyes were blue with age. Her skin has a pattern all its own of numberless branching wrinkles" are indications of Phoenix Jackson's old age. She supports herself with a cane, striving not to fall with every step she takes. She wears a "dress reaching down to h ...

... Scientists started their experiment. They called the baby as "X" because if they call the baby as common name, everybody could know the baby's gender. To reduce the stereotype of the gender was a very important factor to their experiment. They prepared some toys - both for boys and girls - for X. X liked both of them. X liked to play with the robots, a truck or small cars. Also, X liked to play with a doll, too. Whenever somebody asked the gender of X to X's parents, they said just "X'. No one could know X's gender except X's parents and some scientists. About 5 years later, X became the age for school. ...

... dictators in order to repress their followers. This is evident in today’s world. Ignorance is strength; our ignorance to repression increases the strength of our leaders, allowing them to make proles of us all. Repression is achieved through various techniques of dictatorship, one being controlled participation. This provides the proles with the “appearance” of a voice. In many communist nations, people have been given the right to vote but the communist party is the only choice on the ballot. In a democracy, such as that which exists in Canada and the United States, there are vario ...

... athletes, entertainment figures, political figures and our parents. When I think of my role model, I usually look to and think of my mother. Carrie Lynn Ridley, in my eyes, is a perfect example of a role model in our society today. I often look up to her and try to live my life in the way she does. She does many different things for many different people. After attending the University of Saint Thomas, she went on to become a very successful Dental Assistant. In this occupation she assists the dentists in jobs that he or she cannot handle doing by their self. When working this job she also had to raise two youn ...

... to the world’s light,” (I, i, 394-395) his calling upon the forces of darkness to achieve his goal illustrates the imbalance in the conflict that rages in his soul. Iago is an individual who’s perspective of the world is dominated by his animal nature. Due to his own lack of virtue, Iago does not believe that any virtue exists at all. In his actions, he seeks to bring all around him to the same level of existence. The motive for the evil he commits is none other than to commit evil. Thus beyond all of the reason and thought that he cloaks himself in, Iago is really a character that is truly dark a ...

... I thought it was just constant earthquakes and that they never stopped, but I knew I was wrong when I saw a lot of creatures just running around. I knew they were making the shaking because of the number of creatures. It looked like the creatures where hostile because they were fighting with themselves and with one another. We turned around and walked the other way to a canyon that we had seen as we landed on the planet. This planet was weird, it was very dry and there looked like there was no source of water because of how dry it was. As we looked over the canyon I told my brother Jack, “Look how deep the ...
