Ruins

excavation at Troy is that we still do not know much about the ancient world. Keeping in mind how long ago it was that Troy was lost, it was not until recently that we rediscovered its site and even more recently that we discovered what portion of the ruins related to the Trojan War era. Noting this implies that one day we may know something about a civilization, however, a field-changing discovery could be made the next…

Paper #4 In his book “Dog Whistle Politics”, Ian Haney Lopez shares how politicians have been silently pushing a racist agenda while they minutely express other topics. Sometimes this racist agenda isn't purposeful, but can be, and has been. I believe the example given in this paper, is one of those purposeful instances. Lopez defines Dog Whistle Politics as “simply speaking in code to an audience”. Dog Whistling has been shown in multiple examples in American history, with Bill Clinton’s “War…

Fear; the Destroyer Fear leads corrupt powers to alienate what one would call society. In Nazi Germany, the Jews feared Adolf Hitler who sought to destroy all people who followed the religion. Hitler notioned that the Jews destroyed Germany, which left them in mass poverty and hysteria. Therefore, witches from The Crucible in The Salem Witch Trials is another example of this. Abigail Williams, dancing in the woods, is unearthed at the wrong time by the wrong man, and to spite people who accused…

the two of them, as if they were blessed by God. However, this doesn’t end the story. They might try to run away, but we don’t know if there’ll be any obstacles that they’re going to encounter. Chillingworth is an example; he still has the chance to ruin Dimmesdale. Pearl is a representation of the scarlet letter. When Hester unfastened the scarlet letter, it was a resemblance of rejection, as if Hester was disposing of her certainty. Pearl intuitively presumed that she’s connected/related to…

Game after game I would come home feeling dejected after not getting a hit, and the slump would ruin my confidence. Even after all the hard work, my practice was not providing positive, instant feedback. The constant failure was demoralizing. After one game, I felt I hit superb but had no hits to show for it. I came home for once not feeling as depressed…

Readers would argue that this took away from the time perspective of the events, and also ruins the aggressive mood of the scene. As an example, the scene in the memoir in which Rose Mary and Rex begin arguing over money and not being able to support the family states that, “Their argument continued the next morning.. She was sick, she said,…

You can easily overcome the fears of and in life, but if you let them inside of you, it can ruin you. It will ruin you.

The novel opens with an interesting request that seems to be directed towards the reader. “Imagine a ruin so strange it must never have happened. First, picture the forest. I want you to be its conscience, the eyes in the trees” (Kingslover p. 5). This directive is used to create a connection with the reader. A way that the reader can immerse themselves into the story with little effort. It is a simple request; imagine, yet with the beautiful language and imagery that the author uses it soon…
