Whip

When children play tackle football they put their whole future on the line. Once a child puts on that helmet and pads and steps on the field they risk their future on playing that game, “Children are our greatest treasure, They are our future” (Mandela 2). Children who play football do not get as much emotional help as they would in 1990, teamwork is not something children of the modern generation gain either. Most children drop out of sports by the age of thirteen, the main reason for that is…

witches. Mary works less during the day for John Proctor, because she is “an official of the court” (Miller pg 50). Late one night when Mary comes home John gets angry and yells at Mary. He grabs his loose, long, lean (alliteration) whip and Mary tells him he can no longer whip her. She is “eighteen and a woman, however single” (Miller p.g57). Mary finally got some rights at the place where she works and can leave and go to bed when she pleases. This new freedom opens up Mary Warren’s view of…

Burch beats him with a paddle until it breaks, and is beaten further with a whip called a cat o nine tails. Solomon Northup says in his book, “Even now the flesh crawls upon my bones, as I recall the scene. I was all on fire. My sufferings I can compare to nothing else than the burning agonies of hell (Northup).” The scene where…

Robert Mapplethorpe was one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. Coming in on the scene in the nineteen-sixties, Mapplethorpe was considered scandalous and controversial at best. Most of his work had been seen as homoerotic or simply just pornographic. Instead of looking at his work from this perspective however, I will be taking the stance of his work as being technically beautiful as well as arguing that he uses photography to push our popular perceptions of sexuality and…

The Negro Speaks of Rivers, being Hughes’ earliest work, is indicative of the themes that run through much of Hughes’ work. Hughes use of black pride is present; he writes, “I bathed in the Euphrates when dawns were young./ I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep./ I looked upon the Nile and raised pyramids above it./ I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln/ went down to New Orleans, and I’ve seen its muddy/ bosom turn all golden in the sunset” (Hughes, 23).…

perspective is better, it is more realistic and shows the ideals and values of normal, middle and lower class citizens. Foucault: Yes exactly, as George Orwell writes “circus dogs jump when the trainer cracks his whip, but the really well trained dog is the one that turns his somersault when there is no whip”. We have all become well trained dogs. People seem incapable to think for themselves, we have all been trained to well for how we are supposed to act. Anderson: Foucault, why do you think…

It comes about when one commits a sin. Almost everyone is affected by it at some point in their life. It is a horrible feeling that eats away at one’s entire being causing great pain and distress. Many people do not realize the extraordinary power of guilt until they are subjected to the feeling itself. In The Scarlet Letter, characters, Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale commit adultery, a very serious crime in the puritan community of 17th-century Boston. Hester becomes pregnant and must wear…

In the novel The Rules Of Survival by Nancy Werlin, a boy named Matthew writes a letter to his little sister Emmy detailing their abuse from their mother and how they survived it all. One theme that is often visited is the idea of freedom. Although it seems like freedom might come for Matthew, Callie, and Emmy when their abusive mother is away, the only time they truly feel free from the confines of Nikki’s powerful grip is when she is locked up in jail. To these children, imprisonment is a…

I think Sparta deserved to crumble because they always abused their kids, and they did they only lasted 300 years I think the weakness outweigh the strength, I think this because they abused their children, didn’t have good education, and took their kids away from their family at a young age. Any city state that is this mean to there kids deserves to fall. I think Sparta should have taught their kids education, they could have been a lot better at war if they had smarter people. They would take…

Education can be a step taken to help prevent opioid use and misuse. A patient can be educated on the effects opioids can and will potentially have on them in the short and long run. Physicians should also be educated on what to look for in an addict or a potential addict. They should be screening their patients for potential risk factors, including mental illness, personal or family history of drug abuse. Not everyone taking pain medication will end in addiction, however, those that are at…
