The Faceless

stifled my writing in the past. I love to write, but I do not feel that I communicate to my full potential. This particular discussion prompt was a difficult one to tackle. As students, we were forced to put ourselves out there in front of a group of faceless strangers in an uncomfortable way. In short, having the courage to submit my working thesis and then opening myself to receive the feedback it offered was an important first step towards better…

have landed themselves into in the movie. The virtual communication through internet, especially through the popular networking sites like Facebook, twitter and Instagram, have ironically seen to it that the thrust is more on the communication with faceless people who could as well be machines on the other side. This sort of isolation on the part of every individual makes each person aloof from the larger picture, unconcerned about what happens to the society at large or to the environment. We…

must be memorized. Names of battles are recalled according to their importance to the bigger picture. Occasionally, we’ll hear the stories of the brave men and women who valiantly gave up their lives for peace, but that’s all they are: stories of faceless entities, nameless heroes, the things of legend. They could be works of fiction for all we know, and frankly I wouldn’t be surprised, for their feats seem out of the ordinary, almost out of this world. To have seen such horrors for the sake of…

Mournful intonations are depersonalized, turn into a fussy run. And in this race stands out the topic of harsh, collected, decisive - the true banner of the rospeau, used by Rakhmaninov in a free rhythmic interpretation. In the flickering of individual faceless motives, the descending motifs of entry, reappearing in the general musical stream, gradually acquire a resemblance to the song of Dies irae - a gloomy funeral chorale. And now this resemblance is insistently emphasized, and the funeral…

If urban decay can be addressed by the police and the community, crime will be reduced (Kelling & Wilson, 1982). More contact between the patrol officers and the community has been implemented using foot patrols. Officers are seen as people, not faceless officers in patrol…

about 96 identical copies, “Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before. Progress.” (6) This social “caste” system separates the citizens into five groups and the result being that any given individual is just a little more than a faceless, color-coded member of a larger group. Each caste is trained to dislike the others. For example, while flying with Henry Foster on their date, Lenina looks down at the Gamma, Beta-Minuses and other castes waiting for helicopters, “My…

When people think of the casualties of the war, they think of the men and women who came home represented by a folded flag, the ones who came home with fewer limbs than when they left. Not the silent casualties who suffer internal, not external. In the beginning of Sula written by Toni, Morrison Shadrack is running through a field during what appears to be a battle on the field. While Shadrack is focused on the nail piercing through his boot while one of his comrades had their face blown off.…

Beli’s efforts to forget the violence of her early life reflect a greater effort of the Dominican people trying to separate themselves from the Trujillo legacy through forgetting and selective memory. Beli, “Embraced the amnesia that was so common throughout the Islands, five parts denial, five parts negative hallucination” (Diaz 259). As Monica Hanna states, “Forgetting is a seductive prospect when memory seems only to recall pain, but this consistently proves to be a very dangerous choice”…

In most serieses the poor remain “faceless,” yet Pinkman is one of the main characters of the show. This complicates Kendall’s thematic framing which silences the struggles of the poor, and sweeps them under the rug. Although, in Jesse’s case, he becomes a well developed character, giving…

Fetish that was the true adversary, and there was meager knowledge about them. The fighting machine in Combat Unit was a feisty one. It was a proud member of the 5th brigade that found itself trapped in an area with no way out. The unit had fought a faceless enemy, but it was the circumstances that it found itself in that was the true adversary. Ender Wiggins was only a child, with a motley crew of kids what he had to train for battle. Unbeknownst to him, his higher-ranking adult officers were…
