The Faceless

Nathan Price. Nathan is witnessing the congo after years of turmoil caused by king leopold and his cronies. “For Europeans, Africa remained the supplier of valuable raw materials—human bodies and elephant tusks. But otherwise they saw the continent as faceless, blank, empty a place on the map waiting to be explored, one ever more frequently described by the phrase that says more about the seer than the seen: the Dark Continent.” (Hochschild, 1).The imperialism of this time shows that the congo…

Videos and social media posts pour out of East Aleppo, and the world weeps. For the seven-year-old girl facing her death, for the man seeking prayers as a bomb explodes in the distance, for the activist pleading, “Save Aleppo. Save humanity.” The aerial footage of the city is apocalyptic, but it is the images of individuals grasping for hope as they face death that has truly captured and horrified the masses. We have seen this before: the figures leaping from the World Trade Center, the story of…

communicate within themselves to allow their teammates to understand what each teammates are doing. The play style are reflections of one’s own mechanical and analytical skills. Players tend to view their team as other real life individuals and not faceless champs. If they find themselves frustrated they’ll associate it with that anonymous person. It has become more than just a game. As time progress, League of Legend has become a hobby, a social outlet, and a sport. Even though we may be…

The Truth in the Abyss When writing they say it is always best to tell the truth. I do not know who “they” are, but “they” seem to be vaguely arrogant, entirely omnipotent and the enforcers of way too many rules. That being said, the truth does not exist. Each person’s perspective of a situation is in and of itself a unique truth. My truth of that night is different than my mother’s. I will get to those truths, but first here is the beginning. Anxiety holds my hand while 3 a.m. holds my…

SYNTAX: The author switches back and forth between the Joad family and the migrant farmers in general. Quotations are used when the chapter is about the Joads.

It also shows how each migrant farmer was not thought of as an individual person, but rather categoraized.The…

Working right after the first World War ended, Hannah Höch created the collage Das schöne Mädchen [The Beautiful Girl] in 1920. She was a member of the Berlin Dada group who specialized in collage. The specific collage in question depicts key aspects of femininity—hairstyles, fashion, and lace-work—alongside working machinery from the time. The collage is made up of photographs and advertisements cut and overlapping each other, combining visuals into a cohesive statement. The materials of the…

Abstract The present study attempts to analyses selected works of the two eminent American authors on whom very little research work seems to have been undertaken through the angle of Black aesthetics. Richard Wright and Toni Morrison novelists are an effort to bring out the central theme of the Black American experience in an unjust society like America. Compare and contrast the ways that these two American writers have conceived the relationship between racial oppression (black) and the…

When the first school lunch policies were put into place in 1946, many celebrated their implementation. They praised that their children would be offered a nutritious and filling lunch to help them improve their academic outcomes. As years passed, however, there have been changes made to these original policies which have gotten away from the policies’ original intentions. These newer policies have caused unrest among students and parents. Today’s policies implemented by the government have…

What would you choose? Would you be willing to reap the benefits of economic prosperity for your morals? Europeans and many leading countries have had to choose between their morals or capitalism. Whether the choice is between forced manual labor, or displacing people from their homes, a ruler or conqueror has to make a decision. Unfortunately, in many cases these leaders choose wrong and opt for economic prosperity over the well beings of others. Torture, rape, pillage, and murder have all…

This is a difficult letter to write, I want it to be perfect, but it obviously won’t be. It can’t. There’s no words that could possibly express how much I love you or how amazing you are to me. So I guess I’ll start this way… A few years ago, before I met you, I thought I had my life all figured out. I would be a lawyer and meet the man of my dreams in university. He would be tall enough so that I could be smaller than him even when wearing heels and he would have curly brown hair with bright…
