    How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman Analysis

    The video “How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman” was an interesting video about to how some Native American was with Europeans. This video gives me a newer understanding of how both groups was with each other. I always taught at a point that both groups respected each other in a positive way. I would’ve never taught that some Native Americans would go around just killing people because who they taught they were. Plus, they treated the Europeans like their slaves.…

    Michel Foucault's Analysis

    The influential work of Michel Foucault has provided academic literature a unique theoretical understanding of the self and its relation to subjectivity and power. As Abercrombie, Hill, and Turner (1986, p. 43) stated, Foucault’s work has greatly contributed to the studies on the self, specifically targeting its history. This paper will explore the criticisms regarding Foucault’s ideas about the subject and power. More specifically, this paper will discuss his claims about disciplinary power and its influence on society, the function of surveillance, the confession of the self, and governmentality. Many of his critics have negatively evaluated his claims, suggesting they were vague and problematic in regards to feminist notions.…

    A Critical Analysis Of Lanval By Marie De France

    A Critical Analysis Of Lanval By Marie De France

    Lanval is a narrative poem, or Breton lay, written by Marie de France. In this piece of literature, Marie employs common components of lays including references to the supernatural, romance, and chivalry. These themes, as well as Marie’s interpretation of the tale, offer readers valuable insight into Medieval life. Lanval may be a classic example of a romantic lay, but it manages to turn the expected “knight in shining armor” trope upside down by giving the power of the narrative to the women of this story. Marie’s translation of this classic oral tale is a light-hearted reminder of the power of true love.…

    My English Course Analysis

    This English course has turned out quite better than what I would expect it to be for an online student. There was few difficult times for me in this course; however, it was not because of the assignments themselves. It was because of me having to have surgery the last week of this class. Which resulted in having to turn in my assignments earlier than my peers. There were many things that I did learn about the course as well as my thoughts on how a course may be different than what you would expect for a student.…

    Je Suis Je Or Let Me Be Myself Analysis

    “Je suis Je” or Let Me Be Myself: six thoughts for the elites of the 21st century to ponder about First time I heard about the elite theory in my class on Foreign Political Thought while doing my graduate studies in China. Even though Moska’s book “Elements of Political Science” had its drawbacks, it surprised me that I was introduced to this theory in China rather than in my, what I thought “far more democratic country”. It got me thinking about my country, the EU, the Northern America and other “far more democratic places”. Are they really so? Is my government any different from “authoritative” regimes of North Korea, Russia and other counties?…
