Numerous authors choose to write with a unique style, which often includes diverse perspectives about conflicts that lend themselves to concern in societal issues; this method is typically successful because it allows audiences to connect with the piece of literature and apply it to their own lives and personal experiences. Sylvia Plath is one particular author that uses her particular experiences to write about issues that are very evident within society and very applicable to various audiences…

Can the human spirit easily endure pain and suffering, or is it easily corruptible? In 1984 by George Orwell, Winston Smith is broken when he undergoes extreme psychological torture. His pain, however matures him in the sense that he lets go of his idealistic past self and accepts the ideologies of his government, “the party.” In a pivotal moment where winston is forced to believe that 2+2=5, he loses all sense of personal freedom and is at the will of Big Brother, and thus comes into his place…

Lust for Power Carlos Ruiz Zafón, author of the novel Shadow of the Wind once said, “Never trust anyone… especially those who you admire. These are the ones who will make you suffer the worst blows.” This is shown as a truth when, in George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984, O’Brien strives to assert power over Winston by securing his trust to break down Winston’s resistance against the Party. To being with, O’Brien drops subtle hints to Winston that he opposes the Party. During the Two…

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and Thelma and Louise (1999) are both similar in that they are both strong feminist texts, addressing and discussing the issues of women’s rights in early and modern society. To represent this issue, as well as others within the text, both employ the use of characterisation, the development of the protagonists, and themes. Characters in the two texts play an important role in expressing the limited freedoms and rights of women and the societal conventions they are…

unskilled workers, production time and costs have been reduced. Lower production expenses lead to completed products being less expensive to purchase. Labor division is a characteristic of capitalist society. The division of labor was viewed by Adam Smith the Scottish economist, “as a key to economic progress by providing a cheaper and more efficient means of producing goods.” (Britannica, 2014). All goods and services that are produced have a value partially based on the labor required to…

interviews with actors (I especially feel this way when I 've asked more than five times and I am quickly approaching ten times), I have come to realize that ninety-nine percent of the time, I eventually get what I 've requested. And in the case of Kavan Smith, that is entirely true. I have been a fan of Kavan 's since I saw him in season two of When Calls the Heart, but I actually appreciated his depth of talent, his renowned versatility, and his ability to portray credible, true-to-life…

When you think of the phrase “seer stone,” there is usually a negative connotation that goes along with it. Why is that? Joseph Smith used a seer stone as one of the primary instruments in his translation of the Book of Mormon, and they are mentioned as legitimate objects throughout the scriptures. So why do we as members of the church hesitate to discuss seer stones, and why do non-members find exceeding criticism in them? I hope to answer these questions in my analysis. I will also explore…

according to Smith, our human nature is self-interest. It is the fundamental axiom that powers what Smith calls the “division of labor”. Smith explains that self-interest creates and initiates trade amongst people, which in turn develops into the idea of the division of labor and efficient production. For Smith, the trading of goods and services occurs before the division of labor because as he writes, “In that original state of things…the whole produce of labor belongs to the labor” (Smith,…

Adam Smith has come to be regarded as one of the fathers of economics. He is most known for the profound ideas and novel theories on capitalism presented in his book Wealth of Nations. Some ten years prior the release of that book, he completed his Theory of Moral Sentiments, lesser known and less referred to in relation to political economics, but equally as important. Both books, however, must be read together to have a deeper understanding of Smith’s economic theories and his understanding of…

The people of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are considered peculiar by people both within the church and non-members. This may be for different reasons but I think most people can tell that those of the LDS faith are unlike most other people in this world. This can be for many things, but I think a big part of it is the Word of Wisdom. So my question is, “Is the Word of Wisdom essential for the members of the LDS faith?” As the world and society continue to change, many things…
