A Cruel World

If a 6 year old and a 50 year old were asked the same question, their responses would most likely differ. Why? While the 6 year old has a basic understanding of how the world works, the 50 year old has 10 times the experience and knows more about what the world than the 6 year old does because they are naive and innocent compared to the 50 year old. However, the 50 year old’s experience comes with a price of that childhood innocence. Harper Lee has written this into To Kill A Mockingbird as a…

precedes a following statement that casts doubt upon the primary objective of the former statement preceding “but.” TS 04 Pray to God your Father. TS 04 You have to spend money to make money. TS 04 In the final analysis, the power and will of the natural world predominates over the affairs of men. TS 04 There are more people willing to help you than you think. TS 15 When completely flummoxed, rest. TS 04 You can be in the wrong place at the right time. TS 04 A lack of self-control gives birth to…

The Importance of Sacrifice in The Road Cormac McCarthy’s The Road portrays a post-apocalyptic world containing nothing but the distinct loss of morality and desperate attempts to survive. In this cruel world, while most become bestial and corrupt, a father and his son struggle to find ways to stay alive while simultaneously keeping hope alive and staying humane in their ways. The sacrifices made by the man strengthen his relationship with his son and help maintain the only thing they have…

left the country? Is it possible to truly know about other parts of the world without first travelling there? Sure, cultures and people and places can be studied, but can you really understand it if you haven’t seen and experienced it? Because Puss, in Angela Carter’s “Puss-in-Boots” believes that he is a cosmopolitan, but never shows any signs of having ever left Italy. Without any doubt, Puss is knowledgeable about the world around him. He references operas, places, dances, architecture,…

scientific technologies; their world is really silence and peaceful. They do not have any great invention to improve their lives. Also, they are living under control of capitalist. The capitalism has separated the civilians into three different classes such as upper class, middle class and lower class. People who work for the upper class will get the benefits from the capitalism and have better lives. The capitalism is trying to steal stuff from the civilians. Today, the world has improved with…

Just like people, there are no two countries in the world that are just alike. Some may share similarities, but all are immensely unique in many ways. Whether it be geographically or ethnically, all 196 countries have their own set of special traits that make them different. Number 2 on the list of the world’s largest populated countries, India, has a culture all its own. (U.S. CB 2005) India would have probably became the world’s largest populated country had China not lifted its multi-child…

168 million, seems like quite a large number doesn’t it? What if I were to tell you that was the number of children under the age of 17 trapped in child labour worldwide? In 2016, despite the efforts we as a nation have made, child labour is still as prominent as ever. It is outrageous that a global issue as serious as this has not been addressed sooner and mended. Child labour in our day and age makes my blood boil, whether it is happening on our country’s doorstep or fellow nations it’s…

The daydream of discovery while sitting at a lunch counter is a cruel illusion. To become a star, one is assumed to be smart, have an indescribable magnetism, extremely talented and marketable looks, as one must not just be liked, but absolutely loved by millions worldwide. Months turn into years, as the want-to-be star…

human mind. The term “Losing one's innocence” has been largely discussed around the world and it can be interpreted in a multitude of ways. Some may take it as having new understanding of the world when some may attribute it to having experienced something that may change the way we see the world. Some examples may be when a child experiences such as the loss of a loved one which makes them realize that the world is not as happy as it may seem to them as a naïve child. Whichever way the term is…

don’t know what is really going on. Some people think that if it's a good day for them, then the whole world is perfect. NEWS FLASH, it's not. I know that at least 35% of the people on Earth at least try to help the world out a little bit. I guess that is okay, but some people have no choice. For example a kid is forced by their parents because his/her parents are total nut jobs about the world being a safe place and all. Another example is.......... NAH I'll tell you how it really started.…
