Sandra Cisneros, the author of ‘The House on Mango Street,’ shows how an unlikely connection forms between the narrator Esperanza and the natural world around her— namely trees and plants— that somehow help her find the innate strength and inner peace that resides within her. Esperanza’s first bond with greenery is shown in the very first vignette, ‘The House on Mango Street,’ where she is disappointed at the lack of a front yard and only finds some comfort in four struggling little elm trees on…

The brilliant speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” is a passionate lamentation regarding the social status of women, particularly minority females, in a land where patriarchy reigns supreme.

Her rather colloquial usage of terms enables her to easily build up raw passion, which effectively conveys…

All key factors in the life of an individual, whether it is an institution or a person, will produce an imprint on the person’s life.

Hesiod, an important Greek poet, created The Ages of Man which depicted the deterioration of mankind over five generations. The first generation of mortals placed on Earth by Zeus was the race of Gold, the races that proceeded to follow are the Silver Age, Bronze Age, Heroic Age, and lastly the Iron Age. Many people consider our race to be the Iron Age and although there are striking similarities, I feel as though the meaning behind our race delves deeper than that. In my opinion, our race can…

for his project. While the very nature of the creature seems evil, he has not been exposed to anything in order to create a choice of good or evil. The creature is left to his own devices after Victor runs away from him in disgust. This rejection imprints on the creature as his first contact with humanity.

At the heart of the debate is why some humans naturally are obedient to authority, and why others have a tendency to be disobedient.
