    Orientalism. Sarah Macdonald’s takes a very unique approach by initially giving the reader the description of the terrible Quality of life In India. It was clear that Macdonald viewed India as a Begging Bowl and her depiction of her involvement in India was fuelled by her prejudice against India as a Begging Bowl. MacDonald was not pleased in experiencing her time in India just as an outsider, but wanted to take pleasure from India from an insider’s perspective. Macdonald is then introduced and…

    In the satirical piece “A Modest Proposal” (1729), Jonathan Swift addresses the troubling economic and social conditions in Ireland. He adopts a persona, known by scholars as the Proposer, who suggests a “fair, cheap, and easy Method” to rid Ireland of poverty (Swift 230). Instead of proposing a logical and practical solution, however, the Proposer offers a horrifying plan: selling the babies of poverty-stricken families into the food market to lessen the number of beggars on the street. With…

    graffiti is a very powerful form of art. It catches everyday citizens off guard and grabs their attention. Most professional graffiti is designed to make a political statement. I chose a piece by Meek entitled “Begging for Change”. This work of art can be interpreted in many ways. In “Begging for Change” Meek is suggesting the lack of help money provides in solving problems, the…

    fallacies sooner rather than later. For instance, if one takes a closer look at Donald Trump, the front-runner for the republicans, one will see his many examples of Ad Hominem and understand the art of this fallacy. Donald Trump is the master of begging the question fallacy, which occurs when "someone assumes what he or she is trying to prove" (Kessler 32). Although, it is unclear if he truly believes what he says, much of it is simply bad reasoning. After all, his go-to phrase is you dummy…

    What can define the kindness of strangers? How they look or talk? Or just who they are as a person? How can you tell if you are actually getting help, or just getting pity? Can those two things really be the same thing? After all help is help no matter how you get it. Think about these question as I evaluate both “Angela’s Ashes”(McCourt) and “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”(Twain). Being poor is always hard, and being poor in Limerick, Ireland during the 1930’s seemed to top the cake in…

    is the one to blame, the one to blame for her own husband’s death, my beloved family’s death and taking my life. This woman is not worthy of a peaceful afterlife, she is worthy of suffering just like she made all those others. I, Lady Macduff am begging you St. Peter to condemn this woman to an everlasting hell. She will come demanding for your forgiveness, but you must not feel sympathetic for her and you must not be compassionate. She brought it upon herself the moment she got a taste of blood…

    Dennen is referring to the beggars on the sidewalk, who literally beg for change, meaning coins, and are also begging for us to change the ways we are doing things as a society. Why, if there are many people thriving in our society, are there also people without enough food to eat, without homes, and those have no loving family? Dennen is trying to tell his listeners…

    Grace Murray Hopper once said, "It is better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.” In my opinion, it depends on the situation completely, but for the most part, begging forgiveness is the right way to go. I think begging forgiveness is more suitable than asking permission because you can learn from your mistakes and have a possibility of a better outcome. It is important to experience mistakes in life, so you can learn from them, and you cannot do this if you are always asking for…

    When I was reading I Beat The Odds by Michael Oher I read about how he was constantly begging and bumming, and it made me pause because I used to have friends that had to do that. The author stated, “Begging and bumming was just a way of life, whether we were living in the hurt village or had gotten bumped into another project” (11). I related to this because when I lived at my old house in Robbinsdale, I would see kids my age, and sometimes my friends, wondering in the streets because they…
