In the story, “Tomorrow’s Child” by Ray Bradbury, readers are introduced to an excited couple who are about to become first time parents. Unconditional love is a reoccurring theme in the story, Polly never gave up on her “child” no matter what the circumstances were. The two major conflicts of the story were between Polly and the dimension, and between Polly and herself. In the beginning, Polly was stripped away the chance of seeing Py as anything other than a “blue pyramid,” she immediately fell into postpartum depression due to these circumstances. The plot of “Tomorrow’s Child,” is to show the time-lapse of a couple who is going through a difficult time. They are shown as excited in the beginning, but Mr. Horn is taken aback once he sees his “child.” This story shows the unconditional love between a mother and her child, the conflict of having to deal with separation, and the difficulties of family life including giving up a familiar lifestyle. In Ray Bradbury’s, “Tomorrow’s child,” unconditional love is a strong theme that takes place in the story. Polly loves Py with all of her heart, treating the blue pyramid as if nothing is out of the ordinary. While talking to her husband and their new child, Polly says “No, I didn't cry, Pete, because that's my baby. Or he will be. He isn’t dead, I thank God for that. He's—I don't know how to explain—still unborn,”(Bradbury, Pg 5.) this shows that she does not care that the “child” cannot be seen in human form, she still accepts…

Poverty is a prevalent issue in society, not having enough to support one’s family and struggling to just survive is universal. What if there was a way to fix that? Dr. Jonathan Swift proposes an interesting idea in his pamphlet A Modest Proposal to satiate the impoverished nation of Ireland during the 18th century. He begins by identifying the problem: the massive population of beggars. These beggars have too many children to feed and not enough money to care for them. Then he moves on to his…

position compared to women and women to depend on men. This was true during the late 19th century Victorian era. Similar to Lucy Westenra as being a Victoria woman, Mina Harker also portrayed as a Victoria woman because of her devotion towards her husband. While Jonathan Harker was trapped in Count Dracula’s castle for numerous months, Mina shows her concerns and worries for him in her diaries; she writes, “No news from Jonathan. I am getting quite uneasy about him, though why I should do not…

In “A Modest Proposal,” Jonathan Swift proposes an absurd solution to poverty in Ireland in 1729. Swift begins the essay by describing his observations of the plight of the poor and how he has thought long and hard about a solution for the widespread poverty. He then proposes his bizarre idea – for the poor to sell their children at one year old – and uses misguided logic to support his proposal. Mimicking the format of a pamphlet proposing an unreasonable solution, Swift parodies the useless…

The English were also tyrannizing the Irish very strongly. All Ireland’s money was shipped off to England and the English policies kept the Irish poor. During this time,…

As a psychological anthropologist, she seeks deeper answers, attempting to identify psychological and cultural root causes of anomie and despair in the people living in rural Ireland. She explains multiple reasons for both their anomie and extremely high rates of mental illness which lie in shrinking…

There is an ancient art form that humanity has been attempting to master since before time. This art form is sarcasm. The way in which humans can say something with the subtext dripping from the words and another human can immediately understand they do not mean what they say is amazing. Very closely related to sarcasm is satire. Satire is when a writer uses humor, wit, and sarcasm to point out wrong doings in society. Jonathan Swift is a satirist who wrote “A Modest Proposal”, though not every…
