The Wretched of the Earth

at most will increase the unemployment rate by a mere 0.1% but this will be short term and is only a result of sudden growth in the work force. What happened to, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door(Lazarus).” We based our country off of immigration and now we deny a person with good…

was born on March 28, 1515 at crown castle which is today’s Spain. Like Francis of Assisi, she is known around the world as a great mystic, saint, and reformer. This refreshing and thoughtful biography captures the compelling combination of down-to earth humanity and profound, enriching spirituality that Teresa’s hall mark. She held unconventional, progressive views on prayer and worship; had outstanding administrative and literary talents; experienced flamboyant-arguably erotic-rapture;…

he fights him and stabs him in the eye with a spear. He tells Polyphemus that his name is Nobody where Polyphemus would be confused; however, when Odysseus defeats the cyclops and is sailing away, he shouts,” ‘Cyclops- if any man on the face of the earth should ask you who blinded you, shamed you so- say Odysseus, raider of cities, he gouged out your eye, Laertes’ son who makes his home in Ithaca’” (Homer 369). Odysseus later gets punished by the Greek god, Poseidon, due to his pridefulness.…

Conversely, speaking of Heathcliff, he starts to be an innocent person and turns out to be dehumanized by the author of Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte. Albeit two character's extreme characteristics, I think both characters simultaneously contain wretched and humane features throughout the novel. For instance, "As I fixed my eyes on the child, I saw something glittering on his breast. I took it; it was a portrait of a most lovely woman. In spite of malignity, it softened and attracted me. For a…

Observed differences lead to stereotypes. Those stereotypes usher in biases that lead to racism. Racism oppresses, and the oppressed struggle to find way to cope. This unfortunate cycle has plagued the dark skinned for as long as history can tell and has cast a veil over them as they tried to cope with their newfound freedom from slavery and colonialism. W. E. B. Du Bois describes that the veil oppresses the black population by giving them a one-way view of the potential of success available to…

Between the wars, the Great Depression caused Americans to suffer, but they weren’t the only people to be hurt after warfare; Germans too faced adversity after World War I. Albert Birkle created numerous pieces of art throughout his life, one of which depicts the city of Berlin after WWI. Streetszene, a charcoal on paper drawing, currently housed at the Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University, uses a focused audience, purpose, exigence, context, and pathos to create a message of chaos…

humanity of the slaves. These were very obviously human beings in every aspect of biology, yet they were treated as animals, sometimes even less than the livestock. In Walker's letter, he states the slaves in the United States were the most "degraded, wretched, and abject"…

Prometheus. Prometheus is bound in the opening of the play, and in its closing he is bound further beneath the earth. Once Prometheus is first bound, he cries out to the “divine sky,” “great-mother earth,” and several other nature-beings, asking them to “look at what things I suffer from gods, a god” (88-92). Once he sees at the close of the drama that he truly will be swallowed into the earth as Hermes predicted, he cries out “O awe of my mother, O sky revolving the common light of all, you see…

into consideration: technological advances, preventative checks, and the total wealth of a country. Malthus was one of the first philosophers in the nineteenth century to attempt to apply mathematical concepts to society. The book foreshadowed a wretched and grim future with the notion that the population would increase geometrically (e.g 2,4,6,8…) doubling in twenty-five years. But food production would only increase arithmetically (e.g 1,2,3,4…) which would result in famine and starvation…
