    My interpretive problem from “The Invisible Man” Chapter 1 pg. 14 “I was told that since I was there anyway I might as well take part in the Battle Royale to be fought with by some schoolmates as part of the entertainment.” The question I perceive is was the invitation to the Battle Royale extended for the purpose to demean the boy; to let him know that although he delivered an oration at his graduation and according to the M.C. on page 23, “I’m told he is the smartest boy out there in Greenwood. I’m told he knows more words than a pocket size dictionary.” That at the end of the he is nothing but a Negro despite what freedom he so calls has and what he is permitted to accomplishes will depend on according to the M.C. on page 25 “We mean to…

    I’ll admit, I found this book very difficult to read, but not because of the vocabulary words or because it was a medium-sized book that from a distance can look long-winded to many people. It was very difficult to read the Lucifer Effects, by Philip Zimbardo because it made me angry, annoyed and mostly horrified. I wasn’t angry at the author, I was angry at humanity and how far they can get twisted in ideals, religion or just turning plain evil. I know that evil is out there, most people know that, that humans can become the very twisted and malevolent creature and be perfectly ok and justify their actions by saying the race deserved it, or it was for their . That human beings can become the things that go bump in the night.…

    Some would say bullying is a negative topic that can be hard to stop. Bullying can be defined as “Repeated aggressive behaviours that are intended to cause harm to a victim with relatively less power to defend themselves” (Faucher et al. 112). It presents itself as an issue from an early age(such as Kindergarten or Pre-Kindergarten) all the way up to bullying even in the workplace (such as hazing or even cyberbullying). It is a problem that only worsens as the ages climb and can become even suicidal if it gets too severe.…

    3:1-2: Amos began chapter 3 by responding to implied (or assumed) objections to his previous edicts. For example, the Israelites believed God’s election and faithfulness in previous generations protected them from judgment. However, Amos provided evidence showing that God’s election of Israel only exposed them to greater judgment because of the responsibility of being God’s elect and their covenant relationship with Yahweh.…

    In the article “Only Connect…”, William Cronon writes about the qualities gained through a liberal arts education. Cronon (1998) believed, that best type of education, is based off “nurturing human talents to expand the amount of freedom”, experienced in a society (p. 1). Even though not many people really understand how a liberal arts education work, it instills values that make effective leaders. Liberal education has changed quite a lot throughout history. This education was once solely for aristocrat males that focus on bettering themselves, to separate themselves from the population.…

    R.C Sherriff presents Stanhope to us as a complex character through his responses and actions towards others and what others say about him. As R.C. Sherriff was a Captain in World War I and his play Journey’s End portrayed his experiences in the World War. He has presented Stanhope in this way to highlight to everyone how physically and mentally destructive War actually was and we can see this from the regression and deterioration in his character from Act 1 to 2. This was in stark contrast to the recruitment poems such as Jessie Pope’s “Who’s for the Game?” which presented war as a heroic adventure.…
