Thus, she is afforded a great wealth and status. We see the shifting of power, making her part of the bourgeoisie, this mimics Karl Mark's theory, and as he once stated, “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have the world to win” (Marx 776). Analyzing Veronica actions, she did this in spades, she fought against the limitations that were imposed up her and rose to the top like cream in the milk. Thus, of becoming so well loved by the bourgeoisie, she gains great wealth and strength because of her beauty and in her knowledge and becomes part of the bourgeoisie. Some might argue that by being a courtesan she still is taking on the role of the proletariat. It is important to remember that she became a courtesan because she could not marry the man of her choosing. This was her means to an end, she took back her power, the only way she could. " The end may justify the mean as, long as there is something the justifies the end" (Leon Trotsky, 23). This is a wonderful example of a class struggles, which…

Celie slipped into Mr. Cunnington’s classroom, tip-toed while hugging the wall, and glided towards Mr. Cunnington’s “executive” desk at the back right corner of the rectangular room. She paused, then crouched her petite figure behind the cool metal surface of the desk and leaned against the rugged wall that might’ve been white once upon a time, and sighed. It wasn’t everyday Celie made it this far, the trek across the room was fatal to anyone that arrived late. By now, Celie may have already…

Rod stood by the vehicle door, staring at Cole, which at most times would have made the agent uncomfortable or impatient and drawn a retort from his partner, however Cole hardly even noticed. Valentina's voice had brought back memories and even as he taunted her in good humour, the man's mind was racing, running through all the possibilities for the call. Was it a set-up, a joke, was she simply taunting him with the possibility of Curic, or was she really that desperate that she needed his help.…

ently rings the bell to get help checking in. The bell rings for a whole 37 seconds of screen time. This is perhaps the first diegetic sound that suggests that something is off with the Hotel Earle. Barton, already somewhat uneasy about being in Los Angeles, is unhinged even more by the long ringing of the bell. His unease is not helped when Chet, the bellboy, appears from a trapdoor in the ground to silence the bell. Chet is friendly enough, but when Barton informs him that he would like to…

Veronica climbed into the big bed, jeans off, and pulled the big, soft blanket to her chin. The lights were soft in Logan’s room, she’d never noticed that before. The rest of the world was this harsh, unforgivable place, lighting up her weak spots with hot, bright lights, but there, Veronica almost felt safe. She smiled to herself in his bed; she’d confronted her best friend’s killer there, she shook her head. But that was how she was, that was who she was- what had Logan said? The bravest…

I believe him,” She continued with more conviction, “If he has a reason I can’t know… so be it.” Watching Veronica chase the loosed stick, Veronica smoothed wind-blown hair behind her ears. “Besides, he sort of accidentally on-purpose inspired me to start writing again. It’s not like a don’t have savings, and I really have always talked…

Erin knocked on the door, using her other hand to fix Logan's hair from the wind. "Erin!" Bonnie screamed, opening the door, "And of course, Mr. Logan Roberts." "Nice to see you, mom. Sorry about the accent, it's slipping," Erin remarked, as she realized her southern accent was being replaced by a Midwestern one. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Granger," Logan snuck in. "Come on in, y'all. We're all just talking," Bonnie said, and the two entered. ------ "So how do you like my parents?" Erin asked, as…
