The theme is ignorance. It origins deep inside the thoughts of a human. For others, on the tip of their tongue. In the world, ignorance is an gargantuan characteristic. Especially over social media, where the most racial slurs and white supremacy occurs. Racial slur is a term designed to insult someone based off race, ethnicity, or nationality. White supremacy is the belief of white people being superior to those of other races. Which is just one of the numerous acts or sayings that occur. The…

Everyone wishes they could live the American dream, but sometimes that just isn't the reality of it all. In the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, characters try so hard, but don’t always succeed. As two migrants workers, Lennie and George, struggle to reach their goal of owning a farm to support themselves, many unfortunate events unfold, resulting in their dreams being crushed. They work together to raise money, but when Lennie’s disability gets in the way, it stops them from getting…

History 1301 22 September 2016 Pocahontas Raised up to be a magnificent being and the central importance of bonds between two very peculiar clashes of people, this strong-willed and idealistic woman set history in place. As I review these articles, I hope to receive knowledge over the history of Pocahontas and how she became such an important aspect to the English and the Powhatan Indians. I would also like to grasp a better understanding on how the Algonquin princess is transformed into an…

Of mice and men was written by john Steinbeck and was based on the American society in the 1930’s. It is a novella about dreams, friendship and hope. These are the main and most important themes on of mice and men because each character experiences these in a different way. The title of mice and men was inspired by a poet called Robert burns who wrote of mice and men. Burns believed that ‘all the great plans of mice and men oft go awry’ and this means that no matter how well you plan for the…

due to my study of the Gospel of John. The stories in the gospel are so important for modern Christianity because the obstacles to a strong faith were generally the same in the time of Jesus as they are now. The most evident issue to me is the need for people to see the work of God with their own eyes. Therefore, their faith is contingent upon them being able to see the works of God which defeats the whole purpose of Faith. There are two books within the Gospel of John that display this issue…

“The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 KJV), He has arrived and many accounts of His deeds are found in the testimonies of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jesus, born of a virgin, descendent of Abraham and David (Matthew chapter1), is the seed of Eve in Genesis, the Passover Lamb in Exodus, Emanuel of Isaiah, the redeemer of mankind. He was…

They "display the basest elements of nature... and lack all sensitivity, all compassion for those more helpless and weaker in mind and body than they are" (Johnson 16). Curley is extremely competitive, a trait that is evident in his desire to prove himself in a fight with Lennie and in his constantly asking where his wife is, as if he is competing with the other workers for her or demonstrating his "ownership" of her. Jealousy consumes him, and he lives as if he is subject to Darwin's theory of…

classes of society.” While other politicians focused their attention on the wealthy and influential people in the east, Jackson appealed to the common people. Consequently, his greatest accomplishment was keeping the Union together and maintaining the hope of progress. Many historians criticize Jackson’s handling of the Nullification crisis, however, while Jackson supported states rights, he also believed that in order for America to become a great empire, allegiance to a federal system was…

“A&P” In the short story “A&P,” John Updike weaves a seemingly innocuous tale that ultimately supports the theme of hypocrisy and class struggle in the dark reality of life faced by the average lower-middle class suburban American. At first glance, the story seems to center on feminism and hypocrisy when Updike writes that “it’s one thing to have a girl in a bathing suit down on the beach, where what with the glare nobody can look at each other much anyway, and another thing in the cool of the…

reach any goal that they set for themselves. In the novel, Steinbeck uses this delusion in the novel, Of Mice and Men, to distract the characters from the era that they are in. This makes Curley’s wife, Candy, George, and Lennie delusional romantics. John Steinbeck uses characterization in his novel Of Mice and Men to reinforce the elusive American Dream. The first example Steinbeck uses in his novel is Curley’s wife. Curley’s wife believed that she should have been bound for Hollywood.…
