In both Taming of the Shrew and Kiss Me Kate we see the characters perform actions that can be seen in both the play by Shakespeare and the 1948 musical by Bella and Sam Spewack. Two comparisons of the play and movie are the shrew(K/L) being starved by P/F, and the jealousy exhibited between the two sisters Kate and Bianca. In Kiss Me Kate, Fred is able to gain control over lily by starving her throughout the production. He claims it is for her own good, because it will give her indigestion on…

On August 19, 1992, at the Republican National Convention in Houston, Texas, Mary Fisher gave an influential speech ironically titled “A Whisper of AIDS” in order to bring awareness of the AIDS virus and the effect it has on its victims. Fisher was able to successfully achieve her goal of bringing the AIDS epidemic to the attention of the public by using powerful rhetorical appeals to establish her presence and engage the attention of her audience to increase concern for the AIDS pandemic. In “A…

In this essay I will be looking at the strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson in January 1886. In this novella a well-respected Dr Jekyll struggles with his dual nature and the undesirable reputation of his pleasures in an upper-class Victorian society. I will explore the ways that the author, Robert Louis Stevenson, presents different types of power and its effect over man. I will compare this text to themes of power in poems such as Medusa, My Last Duchess and…

Man’s struggle has been a theme predicted by many philosophers, but one of the main philosophers who I highly respect in their writings of Struggle and the search for greater good has been Thomas Henry Huxley. Even though his writings at times seem to collide with the writings of other philosophers, I regard his writings highly as he explicitly mixes his thought in explaining Henry Huxley Struggle and the search for greater good. Man has always faced various struggles and this seems to be the…

demonstrates the injustice and unethical behavior that Ota Benga, a native inhabitant of the Congo was subjected to. Anthropologists and scientists disregarded his humanity and concluded that his analogous peculiarities to an ape were a direct result of the evolutionary bridge between ape and man. Ota Benga, a human, with equal autonomy, emotions, and thoughts to that of any human, was placed into an iron cage like an animal and sold for exhibition to the Bronx Zoo after first appearing at an…

The primates that possess characterics like bipedalism, smaller canine size and bigger brain size are hominins. Humans are the modern Hominins and the fossils reveal that several species of hominins are extinct. Homo is a type of Hominin that lived around 1.9 m.y.a and it is the immediate predecessor of Homo sapiens. Paleontologists and archeologists have classify each time they discover new fossils that have primates and or derived characteristics. The two groups of anthropologists are lumpers…

Hominids are humans and their bipedal relatives; hominid evolution has taken many years of looking for fossils to discover the modern humans past. There has been many scientific research and development done in order to find more about the modern human’s ancestors. Hominid evolution is a lengthy process of change occurring for millions of years. Modern humans, also known as Homo sapiens, are the only surviving species of the genus Homo. Three important ancestors that share close relationships…

that person also says they “unconsciously” and “without intentions” gave that character a voice that perfectly fits the stereotype as well can one really say it was an accident? In the movie “The Jungle Book (1967)” where King Louie and his tribes of apes ask Mowgli to teach them how to be “human”. This is a racial stereotype against African Americans in which people would say were a bunch of…

vs. evil. Throughout the story Jack is shown as an evil, controlling, heartless, and savage like person. In the text it states, “Jack himself shrank at this cry with a hiss of indrawn breath, and for a minute became less a hunter than furtive thing, ape-like among the tangle of trees” (Golding 49). Jacks actions convey him as more animal-like than human. He was running on all fours, and let out a “hiss”, much like a wild animal. Jack is also not hunting just to survive, he’s hunting because he…

China and also supports the theory of regional evolution of the origin of man. This theory says that mankind did not just develop in Africa and expand; it supports that humans evolved in many places like China, Africa, Europe, and Australia. The Shu Ape, a small primate that lived long ago, may be the missing link to the evolutionary process because of its genetic connection to humans. With much evidence, this could be true, evidence from the Banpo Village from between 4500 and 3750 BCE shows…
