Rudeness

Because of his insecurities and diffident personality, he is only a cowardice man putting on a facade. The lack of regard he gives to himself and other people without wealth in his situation, the rudeness he shows to Nick in regard to Daisy, and the meeting where he finally admits his self conscious attitude all show how Jay Gatsby represents the stereotypical wealth from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s time. John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, and other…

The poem “A Poison Tree” and the story “The Cask of Amontillado” are similar in that the main characters portray a sense of fake friendliness, and instead they secretly plot their harmful intentions in their heads; both main characters get revenge on their enemies; and ultimately the end result of their actions correspond to each other. These pieces of literature do a great job at showing the effects of allowing one’s anger to grow. One similarity that these two pieces share are how the main…

but instead this time, instead of his usual roar, I got a surprisingly mellow “Alright man, what do you want”. I responded with a little rant I had prepared myself, “Listen Mr. Jackson, I’ve called you 7 times now, each time I was not only met with rudeness, but you hung up on me...7 times! I’m calling for your own good, I have this paper I need signed, without your signature, I’m going to have to cancel your policy, if that’s what you want, that’s fine, but if you do want our business, I need…

in 1958, demonstrates the struggles Jewish society and other minorities faced in order to live a life of liberty. I, myself, felt bound and trapped, not by iron doors, but by words. Although being open and outgoing can help communication growth, rudeness and unnecessary judgement can hinder one’s ability to socialize and express themselves. On August 21, 2010, as my mother dropped me off at Georgetown Middle School, thoughts of panic plundered through my head, hoping my teachers encourage me…

1. Explain through examples taken from Tea in the Harem how the main protagonist, Majid, maintains two cultural identities, one French and one Algerian. Which one seems to predominate in your opinion, if one does? For me the best example of the cultural differences that Majid is living in, is the door to home. “Majid goes straight into his flat without knocking. The front door’s always open…Levesque, on the other hand, has to ring his doorbell several times before his wife comes to let him…

Lewis Carroll expressed his opinion on many subjects in his novel. A common area he had frequently liked to touch on and poke fun of was Victorian Society. During this time it was expected for young women to be very knowledgeable in arts in literature. People were viewed differently depending on their social class. In general, the more money someone had, the more power they had possessed as well. While everyone during this time was trying to conform and be seen as proper and sophisticated,…

question in my mind that the statistics could possibly be true. I have experienced through middle and high school students acting the same way as professors say their freshman college students are without paying for their classes, having “disengaged rudeness” as a very common theme among peers. With the examples given (talking loudly, sleeping, talking on the cell phone and watching TV in class), these examples are still very true today with even worsening extent which Leo addressed at the end…

My first favorite text of literary would gladly have to be not a book, but a series and that’s the Harry Potter series. I love the books that are written by J.K. Rowling, I find the books to be very fascinating to read because you are allowed to escape the aspect of reality and to be a part of the world of Hogwarts. Well other than the fact that it’s science-fiction, it also has real life places involved in the series as well. Just like the use of London, it’s used as the home of Harry Potter…
