The Vocabulary Allegory: The Trolley Dilemma

Decent Essays
The Trolley Allegory fall into the category of an experiment dilemma. There are five workers who are not supposed to be in a work area on the railroad where there is a trolley about to cross where the workers are at. Now the operator is going to try to stop and push on the breaks. The operator cannot stop the trolley and the workers cannot move in time. Now the operator sees another section where he can go but there is one worker. There is no correlation between the operator and workers. Now the utilitarian perspective would address this dilemma by suggesting the operator to take the second route and save the five people. The reason for this is because with utilitarianism believes that where they is not pain or less pain there is happiness.

    Hunter saves some of her most memorable run-ons for the end of Dishes. In this example we have the nouns, adjectives, and verbs one after the other. They are even more clustered together because the writer chooses to get rid of punctuation in some instances. Page 29 reads, I ask the cashier to wait while I run to the dairy aisle, I am craving cottage cheese now, I get the biggest tub there is, large curd, I laugh to myself, I laugh and laugh, big girls gotta eat.” It is apparent to me what Hunter is trying to do with this run-on.…

Stephen Crane portrays these ideas in his novel The Open Boat with his carefully chosen rhetorical devices, diction choices, and syntax. His Naturalistic view sends four men onto a journey in which every action is determined by the sea and nature surrounding them.…
