During my visit to the Museum of the City of New York, I went through many exhibits of different activist movements.. In the end, I chose the exhibit discussing the issue of women suffrage. Women suffrage means a woman’s right to vote. One artifact of the exhibit that caught my eye was the woman suffrage flyer. This was a flyer that was distributed throughout the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn during the 1910’s. It was printed in an effort to raise awareness of the fact that many women did…

Swift uses satire in his essay “A Modest Proposal” to criticize a number of problems that Ireland was facing in the early 1700s.

From the outside, it may not seem like Darcy does much, but what he does behind the scenes holds an upmost importance in who he truly is. He is a landlord, a master, a brother and a lover: all of these being his occupation. When dealing with all these different aspects in his life, he takes the tasks that arise and deals with them without a complaint, just as Piercy describes. For instance when Lydia…

As stated in the very beginning, soul food is a tradition that holds true to the identity of what it means to be black. The term ‘Soul food’ originated in the south during the civil rights movement of the mid1960s. The term ‘soul’ was commonly used in black culture, such as “soul music,” “soul men,” etc. The style of soul food derived from the African American slavery background. Slave owners had total control of the amount of food that my enslaved ancestors received. Their diets consisted of…

work of the satire genre. In this short story, Swift is addressing the great famine that is threatening the people of Ireland, due to English landlords taking away too much money away from the Irish people, which in turn takes away funds to buy food.
