Critical Analysis “Rings of Saturn” is a book written differently then any book I’ve encountered. I was very hesitant to allow myself to enjoy it at the start. The novel seems to have little to no organization which can make keeping up quite a challenge until you understand this is no ordinary novel and you cannot read it as such. Constantly while reading this I found myself putting the piece together and slowly I began to understand that there was method to the madness. Kristina Ten said not…

Written in 1933, The Mis-Education of the Negro provided a platform of discussion in terms of the debilitating state of African-American education during the 20th century. The thesis’ author, Carter G. Woodson, relays information about the education system of his time and how that same system has propelled blacks to seek lower-level positions on the social-economic totem pole. Though, this thesis was written many decades ago, the black community is still suffering; I personally believe that many…

In our civilized world, we may not realize our world or the humanity has been civilized through hundred years of development. However, H.G Wells and Jean Rousseau are aware of the consequences due to the civilization. They believe civilization means a lot to the changes of humanity, creatures. They raise all sorts of questions on what is nature and what is artificial. Therefore, it is interesting to compare Jean Rousseau’s A Discourse on Inequality and H.G Wells’ The Island of Doctor Moreau in a…

“Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong” (Coolidge qtd Brainyquote). President Calvin Coolidge said this about increasing taxes on the wealthy.

Former President Calvin Coolidge and future President Donald Trump both can and have run businesses efficiently, even though their personalities differ extremely. John Calvin Coolidge was born…

Alcohol at Gatsby’s parties are an essential part of the story because banning alcohol made everyday citizens into criminals and made it much more desirable which allowed some to become extremely wealthy. Firstly, prohibition was denounced by many religious organizations and was thought to cause many of society's problems. “The Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution took away license to do business from the brewers, distillers, vintners, and the wholesale and retail sellers of alcoholic…

In 1895, H.G. Wells wrote The Time Machine- a seemingly simple time-travelling adventure with much deeper undertones alluding to Wells’ view of the inequality within society at the time. Time and time again, the story refers to class oppression, some way or another. The overarching theme of the oppressive nature of class distinction in society is clearly shown through the societal origins of the Eloi and Morlocks, the actions of the Morlocks and Time Traveller, and the various titles of the…

Calvin Coolidge once said, “Wealth comes from industry and from the hard experience of human toil… Both men and nations should live in accordance to their substance not only to productive industry but to the creation of the various forms of beauty and the pursuit of culture which give adornments to the art of life.” This statement shows the values of Calvin Coolidge in three ways. Calvin Coolidge explained in his book, the “Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge,” that he was hardworking, wise, and…
