History Of Rap
... hip-hop subculture also formed other methods of expression like break dancing, graffiti art, a unique slang vocabulary, and fashion sense.
Rap started in the mid-1970s in the South Bronx area of New York City. The birth of rap is, in many ways, like the birth of rock and roll. Both originated in the African American community and both were first recorded by small, independent record labels and marketed towards, mostly to a black audience. And in both cases, the new style soon attracted white musicians that began performing it. For rock and roll it was a white American from Mississippi, Elvis Presley. For rap it was a ...

Heart Of Darkness
... its narrator, not about Kurtz or the brutality of Belgian officials. Conrad wrote a brief statement of how he felt the reader should interpret this work:
"My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel-it is above all, to make you see.(Conrad 1897) Knowing that Conrad was a novelist who lived in his work, writing about the experiences were as if he were writing about himself. "Every novel contains an element of autobiography-and this can hardly be denied, since the creator can only explain himself in his creations."(Kimbrough,158) The story is writt ...

Hedda Gabler
... a work that uniquely portrays the sources of the motivations of this manipulative woman.
Whether it be the burning of her former love’s manuscript or supplying him with the pistol to shoot himself, Hedda’s malevolence shows the ability of man to have total disregard for the life of another. Hedda coldly manipulates the lives of everyone around her. Through these manipulative actions, she ruins the lives of all of her acquaintances. Because she is not happy in her marriage, she attempts to forbid anyone else to live a content life. For example, after she persuades Eljert Lövborg to consume alcohol, he ...

Cry Wolf
... and, in some
cases, left with their mouths wired shut to starve (Begley 53). Convinced
that they were a problem to be solved, U.S. citizens gradually eradicated
gray wolves from the lower 48 states over a period of 25 years.
Today many people are convinced that the elimination of the gray wolf was
not only an error, but also a detriment to the quality of life in this
country. There has been a public outcry to rectify the situation created by
the ignorance of our ancestors. However, in seeking to address a situation
created by the human compulsion to control nature, it is crucial to discern
how much human interferenc ...

The Cages Of Maya Angelou
... started calling Margaret, Mary. "That's [Margaret] too long. She's Mary from now on."(pp.91) One of the most important aspects of a person is their name. It is a great insult for someone to change your name, without your consent, just because someone wanted too. If Maya was white Mrs. Cullinan would not have changed her name. She did it only because of her racist friends, and attitudes. Even some of the white s, who supposedly supported her, had hidden their racist feelings in seemingly nice remarks. Maya conveys the words of Mr. Edward Donleavy, one of the people in the masquerade, "The white kids ...

Existentialism In No Exit
... In this respect of acknowledging and owning up to his actions, Garcin is following existentialist laws. However, he sometimes violates them. For example, he is so preoccupied with the idea that he is a coward that he demands the women to renounce this and declare his masculinity. He is so dependent upon this that he refuses to engage in sexual activity with Estelle until she affirms him. This is anti-existential because according to its principles, he should not have to rely on others for confidence.
Inez is in Hell because she had seduced her cousin’s wife, then conspired to make his life miser ...

Iagos Self Perception
... not get a clear vision of how Iago views himself. He speaks of himself being evil and cunning, but he also says that we cannot call him a villain because he is not asking a fee for his advice. "And what's he then that says I play the villain,/ When this advice is free..."(II,iii,336-7)
I think that Iago, originally was a character of good morale trying to raise in the state. Iago, did not feel as though he belonged in the Venetian state or the group that he desired to belong. We know Iago, is an outsider because of Cassio, when he speaks of Iago's kindness. " I never knew/ A Florentine more kind and honest."(III,i, ...

Cause And Effect Of Speeding
... than pay the fine. Waiting in the courtroom to see the judge
can be very close to a death sentence. The wait is long, and the company
can be frightening. Once you plead your case, you generally end up paying
the fine. This only leads to another line, and another wait. This has to be
the most unpleasant part of a speeding ticket.
In addition, paying for traffic school is also a disagreeable experience.
If you waited to see the judge, you may be on your way after paying the
fine. If the judge is kind, and offers a traffic school option, the
unpleasantness continues. Usually the traffic school is no where near to
the c ...

Adults Of The Bell Jar
... archetypes and therefore very limiting. Jay Cee is portrayed as hyper, abrupt and she speaks, “waspishly” (29). She is smart and talented but she is ugly. Philomena Guinea, on the other hand, says that she was stupid at college and is always described as being surrounded by beautiful things. The beauty that Esther sees as the binary opposite of ugly seems to have been acquired through her “millions and millions of dollars” (38). Jay Cee has “brains, so her plug-ugly looks [don’t] seem to matter” (5). But, Philomena has money so nothing else matters. Mrs. Willard is portrayed as the ultimate wif ...
