EXPLICIT CONTENT…. Just kidding thanks for continue reading this, I’d like you to read my paper about these three stories and how they all relate to this quote, ‘’We as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves’’. In this first ‘’American flag states for tolerance’’ you can see how this story relates to the quote above. In this first piece of evidence from lines (64-66) ‘’More than anything else, the flag stands for free expression of ideas, no matter how distasteful’’ it talks about how the flag stands for any and all ideas, even the distasteful, which means that it is accepting of everyone and anyone. This next piece of evidence from lines (66-68) ‘’The ultimate irony would have been to punish

    Jasper Johns Flag

    “It has been suggested that the American flag in Johns’ work is an autobiographical reference, because a military hero after whom he was named, Sergeant William Jasper, raised the flag in a brave action during the Revolutionary War.” In Johns’ work, it is easy to see the political influence. Since the flag theme was continuous in his work, this shows that the subject was not only important to him, but it seemed to be worthy of public attention as well. The American Flag has many different representations all encapsulated in one symbol. They are related to freedom, bravery, unity, strength, and other aspects or characteristics of American…

    Rhetorical Analysis: Land Of The Free. And The Home Of The Slaves

    Elements of pathos in this image include the use of large text, irony and a color scheme that any American would recognize and associate with. The color scheme and the image of the world in a pair of hands plays a major role in the effectiveness of the visual argument. The image with the world in a pair of hands makes the audience feel a sense of obligation to partake in the abolition of modern slavery. The use of the text “Land of the Free...and the Home of the Slaves” is a play on words. Furthermore, the use of the American flag in the center of the world that is in black and white labels America as the protector of the earth but we are not in fact doing our job. Finally, the distinct blue line along with the white and red text brings a sense of patriotism.…

    Theme Of Conformity In To Kill A Mockingbird

    People of today’s society, and even from one hundred years ago, have been victim of wanting to be “normal”, usual, and most important, accepted. This drive and fear of rejection have been the catalysts of the formation of civilizations and industries abroad.

    Ambrose Berce, Shirley Jackson And Tim O Brien's The Lottery

    Authors often use their stories as commentaries to convey the societal shortcomings of their societies. Hence, they also promote an alteration in social and or personal values. Evidently the commentary revealed throughout the works of Ambrose Bierce, Shirley Jackson, and Tim O’Brien is the fear of being a social outcast, which then alters the values within the characters present in the stories. In the short story On the Rainy River the protagonist of the story Tim O’Brien is faced with hardship and adversity which could change his reputation in his hometown society.…

    My So-Called Enemy: An Analysis

    “We, as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves”, once said Barbara Jordan. Barbara Jordan was a leader in the civil rights movement and do to her experiences she has developed this opinion. During her time, African-Americans were fighting to have rights and be treated as people. Therefore, her opinion that everyone should be accepted has definitely been influenced by how she was treated and how throughout her life she had to fight for the right to be seen as a person, even if she was different than what the majority believed to be “normal”. Purposefully, within the first collection there were stories that were meant to show how accepting people are, and whether or not we, as a society, should be accepting…

    My So-Called Enemy Analysis

    In the Texas vs. Johnson case, the American Flag represents freedom. In “The Lottery”, the black box and stones represent separation and death. The authors use these symbols in diverse ways, but the reader can view all of them as a choice that people have to make, whether to accept someone or not. The girls in “My So-Called Enemy” have a hard time accepting each other because of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.…

    Conflict And Conflict In Blood, By Naomi Shihab Nye

    A flag represents unity and how human beings identify groups of other individuals, and by Nye questioning “What flag can we wave?”(19), she is exclaiming how her people have been broken apart and separated from the land that united them as a result of the the Arab-Israeli conflicts. Her use of “Homeless fig” in line 18 I believe is a synonym for the Palestinian refugees as they are technically without a home, living in…

    Thomas King One Good Story That One Analysis

    From our interpretation of the fictional short story "One Good Story, That One" by Thomas King, it suggests parody of the religious account of The Garden of Eden (i.e. Adam and Eve). We, as a group, came to the consensus that King seemingly writes from the perspective of a stereotypical Indigenous person who is recounting the story to the best of his ability. Looking at this piece of literature from an educational perspective, it offers an opportunity for students to critically examine the intention behind what is being presented throughout the story. As a group, we decided that this story would be most effective for students to examine in secondary grades. With elementary grade level students, they may have not yet received enough education to have creditable knowledge to draw from when examining this rhetorical piece of literate and, as such, might interpret this differently than King has intended.…
