Boxer Rebellion

Even in a job that does not reflect masculinity, this rebel photographer can express masculine traits by defying authority to capture an impeccable snapshot. He operates under the social media alias Vic Invades, exploring the uncharted territories of New York City as an artist. Upon watching the brief documentary featuring this urban explorer on the front page of the New York Times, it struck me as a key example of masculinity in an artistic profession. The documentary first depicts Vic’s group…

America and in the Sothern colony of Virginia, some examples would be the Pueblo Rebellion, and Bacon’s Rebellion. Taking place in South America the Pueblo Rebellion reflects the tensions between the lower class Indians and the higher class Spanish colonist. Taking place in the colony of Virginia, Bacon’s Rebellion reflects the tension between the lower class farmers, and the higher class plantation owners. These two rebellions may have taken place two very different areas of the Americas,…

The Peasant Rebellion began with a local meeting composed of the village commune. The assemblage was a coming together of protestors that trespassed the boundaries of villages and lordships, which expressed rudimentary regional identity. This association of people took on an organizational form as a “band.” The bands were made up of peasants protesting against the government, which created the problem of feeding and supplying themselves. The major battles of the Peasants’ War resulted in…

problems it would lead to rebellion and then the world would go down in shambles. The government starts with hinting at rebellion due to lower districts having to find any way to fend for themselves, all because of low resources. Families, and the gathering of districts is a major way to start a rebellion. There are many factors to take into play as to why these families and districts from all over would bind together to bring down the government. Being poor is equal to a rebellion because they…

During Shays’ Rebellion, Thomas Jefferson wrote to James Madison in a private letter, “I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.” Though he wrote while Daniel Shays led an armed insurrection of 4,000 veterans in Massachusetts, I believe Jefferson, when he wrote of “a little rebellion”, referred not to large-scale violent events such as Shays’ Rebellion and the American Revolution, but instead to periodic…

the end they do agree to it. Another similarity is that Cassia falls in love with Ky, but she is getting married to Xander and Tally’s friend is Peris but falls in love with David. The other theme present in both novels is revolution begins with rebellion, in Matched it is shown when she doesn’t want to marry Xander because she fell in love with Ky so she rebels that the government shouldn’t do this and in Uglies it’s shown when Tally finds out that the surgery alters the brain so she rebels. In…

paratexts, a chaotic storyline and character choices, and the overall theme of rebellion. All of this juxtaposes the alphabetization seen throughout the book and the assumption of perfection in publication; also enforcing the point of opposition to order. In order to better understand the overarching theme of rebellion throughout Zulus, it is necessary to outline the book not as a whole, but based on each instance of rebellion. The story starts off unpleasantly, as Alice gets raped by a…

Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is a graphic novel and autobiography that encompasses Marjane Satrapi’s life as a child in Iran’s Islamic Revolution. Satrapi writes a beautiful story but her use of graphic imagery really allows readers to connect and understand to her personal and mental growth. Throughout the story, Satrapi goes through a great change in personality which is fueled by her residence in revolutionary Iran. Her personality matures and is greatly affected by the repression and the…

1. When and where was the story written or told? What historical, social, or cultural background might be needed to understand or explain what the story is about? The story seemed to be told during a war or rebellion of some sort, in a high end barber shop, in the middle of some kind of town. To me, the town seemed smallish, not a big city with skyscrapers. However the town must be important with such an obviously important general there. It is possible that the story took place some years ago,…
