From Zero to… Hero? How Orwell Writes to Define His Fate Psychologically speaking, people are likely to root for the underdog. Though the reason for this trend is unclear- perhaps it hearkens back to countless stories in the bible. Whatever the reason may be for this pattern, it has been observed in many forms- sports teams and politics in particular. In fact, a study published in The American Political Science Review focused on this trend of rooting for the underdog, and determined that in a…

expectations of the locals to kill it needlessly. The elephant itself is symbolic of Orwell's free will. Its slow, agonising death represents the painful realisation of Orwell's lack of power, which he further notes by referring to himself as a metaphorical “puppet pushed to and fro by the natives”. Through this, Orwell also finds out the true nature of imperialism, coming to the realisation that “when the white man turns tyrant, it is his own freedom that he destroys”. Thus, the representation…

Donald J Trump is not your ordinary politician. He is different and guess what? Thats a good thing. His ideas, for example a sound immigration policy,returning manufacturing jobs to America, negotiating better trades,Health Care Reform and Tax Reforms are what donald trump is aiming for. He speaks for us little people and let’s face it we don’t have much of a voice. We have politicians who throw at us many issues that grasp our attention aka the”American Dream”and make big promises that at the…

to be a proper child. The first school I went to was Coronado Village Elementary School. There I met people like Ms. Galicio, who would dress up like Thing One, would go all out on book celebrations. I met a new species of counselor, who would use puppets to teach the values of a good person. Seeing people like this allowed me to be awkward and out of the ordinary. So, this realization helped me with my transition into middle school. After I graduated from elementary school, I entered a new…

all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.” (298), which shows just how indoctrinated Winston had become into the Party and it’s ideals. He no longer had any original thought, but was a mindless puppet controlled by a totalitarian regime. This transformation of such a defiant character proved Orwell’s point that totalitarianism is dangerous to the common people. Another theme included the control that governments have over media, information…

people for having different opinions. How some easily accept news stories without stopping to consider whether it’s fake or not. No one ask questions any more. We’ve lost all our curiosity. When you blindly follow, you allow yourself to become a puppet or tool to be use to commit horrible acts. We all have the potential to become the worst parts of…

go outside collecting leaves and rocks. On the contrary with Clarke, I played inside with my dolls and put on puppet shows (which I’m now afraid of by the way, puppets freak me out. Yikes!). According to Jean Piaget’s theory of preoperational thinking I understood that sometimes words represented things that weren’t necessarily present at the time, especially when Clarke and I put on puppet shows. My mother was the strict parent, while my Dad was a bit more easy-going. I remember one day my…

women to stay “safe” and protected. When given power, even the nicest of people with take advantage of it because everyone likes to feel like they’re in control of something. The men were given all the power, while the women were controlled like puppets. The women were separated into different groups such as Martha’s or Handmaid’s, which had different jobs that they had to fulfill. They had to wear certain clothes that showed no skin, they had to walk by two’s to the stores, and were not…

Different from Wang’s literati arguments, Yan Fu successfully offered his scientific explanation of the need of change. Yan Fu’s unique interests and standpoint is the advanced western thought of Darwin and Spence on Evolution of specie, “The idea is that people and things exist in profusion, surviving on what the natural environment provides, but when they encounter others, people and things struggle over the means of survival” (De Bary 646). For surviving, species need to compete with other…

Normally people recognize the smiling faces they see on their neighbors front porches, but one week a year, neighborhoods all over the country are invaded by scary faces peering out at them. Stranger Danger? Don’t call the neighborhood watch quite yet! Those spooky smiles are Jack-O-Lanterns carved by festive neighbors and probably signal they will have some good loot on Halloween. What someone carves on their pumpkin can tell you a lot about them. Some people who are sports fanatics might…
