BioShock infinite ending

Dewitt makes a choice to either accept or refuse baptism after the battle at Wounded Knee

In one universe he refuses, becomes a pinkerton who sells his daughter, and leads the Vox Populi rebellion to a bloody victory over Comstock

In another he accepts baptism, changes his name to Zachary Hale Comstock, and teams up with the female scientist to create Columbia

Due to heavy experimentation Comstock becomes infertile and is unable to have kids

With help of the female scientist, Comstock then makes a deal with (the still fertile) Dewitt from the other universe to get a biological daughter. (In Dewitt’s universe the scientists was born a male and the two scientists get together as “twins” after the ability to link universes is

    I believe it is interesting when Linda is brought back into the director's life. In Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the foundation of the World State is built upon the idea of promiscuity and sexual freedom. Men, women, and children of all ages are encouraged to engage in loosely formed relationships with multiple partners, which helps to destroy feelings of commitment and loyalty. The ideas of settling down, staying faithful to one partner, and starting a family are horrifyingly pornographic to the minds of the citizens and are considered to be truly deplorable. Within this world of fluid sexuality, the heart that represents everything is the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning.…

    Soldiers at Valley Forge endured harsh conditions in order for the new nation to gain independence from the British. Soldiers had to decide whether or not to run away before their term of enlistment was complete or stay and fight the British.

    In the book, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, author Dee Brown argues that the Native American’s historical injustices and oppressions should be remembered in the attempt to prevent similar events from happening in the future. He supports his argument through the voices of different tribes and army men as he describes battles, broken treaties and massacres. In this way he illustrates how the racism against Indians in many people, including army officials, causes great tension throughout many conflicts. Brown demonstrates this attitude while he argues that soldiers ignored the Indians desire for peace. Through countless events he argues, that because of the white man’s hunger for land, the Indians were tricked and forced, one tribe after another, onto…

    In her book "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen illustrates the female protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet as a strong advocate of feminism and female independence. She manages to do so by drawing a stark contrast between Elizabeth and the other female characters, Charlotte, Jane and Caroline. Each of these women conforms to the socially imposed gender conventions of Regency England, while Elizabeth artfully challenges gender discrimination. Contrary to her female foils, she remains steadfast to her feminist intent, persistently refusing to concede to the highly mainstream views of the society that women should elevate their chances of marriage with a man of good fortune. This, along with her determination to alter the societal bounds that…
