Rancid

Publix: Where Shopping Should Be, But is Not, a Pleasure I think, in the Fall of 1930, George W. Jenkins endeavored to emulate lionized, yet-to-be-born-television-icon-Oprah-Winfrey. A furtive and sinisterly burly man, I believe, he traipsed into burgeoning Southeastern neighborhoods and bellowed, “You get a Publix! You get a Publix! YOU GET A PUBLIX!” Frightening (and expensive… so, so expensive). No one really wants to go to Publix, but Jenkins opened Pandora’s box 86 years ago, and now…

200 people butchered in the snow with their stomachs empty. My mother’s people. You see, Murphy was under government contract to supply us with beef, but two winters ago, he sent only rotten meat. No corn, no flour, just rancid beef crawling with worms. A few of my men and I set out to camp in the middle of the night to try and get food. Oh yeah, they welcomed us in, and then they fired at us. I got away, only me. But when I got back to the Red Sands, I found out that the…

degree” is a major part of the anxiety that many audience members would have agreed with in England. More so, the word “rank” not only expresses a class-based bigotry against Othello was a non-white man in English society, but it also infers a type of rancid smell or rot. Iago is then quick to use the word “foul” to assert that an interracial marriage infers an unclean union, delves deeper into the anxiety that Iago feels by not only being outranked by a Moor, but by Othello being married to…

Finley Hodson depicts the vast contrasting representations of poverty between the major feature film Slumdog Millionaire and Kevin McClouds Slumming It. One million people, one square mile. This is the desperate reality of the living conditions in India’s largest slum, Dharavi. Danny Boyles, Slumdog Millionaire, the 2008 drama, glosses over the issue of poverty and is represented in a fun, free spirit way.

The World War One era brought about an atmosphere of war in Nazi Germany. The “superior race” of the Nazi Germans were ready to kill and were excited at the thought of war; they did not make friends with their enemies. Many young German men were enthusiastic to leave their school, family, and hometowns because they were honored to fight for their country and felt like they were no longer young boys. The true horror of war is portrayed in All Quiet on the Western Front, where the hospital…

As Jodie Daugherty walked along the shoreline, the ocean water caressed her feet. The air was getting warmer by the minute even though it was still early in the morning. As she walked, she made a mental note to make sure she would come back to the beach after her shift was over. By then the sun would be on the horizon, and the water will be refreshingly cooler. Nonchalantly, her tan sandals suspended from her fingertips. They were plain and ordinary, in fact they were just a simple pair of…

Slaves were chained together in the hold to prevent possible rebellions against their white abductors. It was very uncomfortable for the slaves in the tween decks, for…

place where only the strong/those willing to lose their morals in this case, survive and those that don’t die as it is in the novel. The title isn’t the only metaphor, the book is filled with them from the animal going into the slaughterhouse to the rancid smell of fertilizer, even natural things are used as metaphors. The animals before going into the slaughterhouse are very calm hopeful and made to seem optimistic and as they enter the house they keep this attitude at first until they realize…
