    Jacob Riis How The Other Half Lives Analysis

    Jacob Riis was a social reformer who used photography to raise awareness for urban poverty. He became a reporter and wrote about individuals facing certain plights in order to garner sympathy for them. His book How the Other Half Lives caused people to try to reform the lives of people who lived in slums. He used vivid photographs and stories about individuals to call people to action. No one could argue with a picture, so his book showed urbanization and the problems that accompanied it very well. He wasn’t a very experienced photographer, so his pictures were relatively objective, and therefore somewhat trustworthy. His pictures were not pretty and did not gloss over the harsh realities of inner city life. His photos captured details of the slum that…

    Beyonce Fan Ethnography

    On March 18, 2013, Beyonce Knowles-Carter leaked a song called “Bow Down,” where she instructed all of her competitors to bow down before her. In her estimation, there was no competition, she was aware of it, and anybody practicing in her arena was aware of it too. More importantly, her legion of adoring fans knew it as well. The song leak served as a stark contrast to what Beyonce had recently become known for releasing. Instead of the ballads of romance, anthems of girl power, unity and triumph, or the militaristic pronunciation of confidence and ego, this track releases scathing criticism and pompous boast over all of her contemporaries. The deviance from what normally typifies Beyonce’s sound and message did not extend to her fan base; this is to say that the reaction was largely the same. Regarding anything that has to do with Beyonce, there was instant conversation started. As an outsider who does not consider myself as a “lover” or a “hater” of Beyonce, I saw artifacts and texts everywhere that I went. On social networks, there were links sharing the song. There were comparisons between the newest song and previous singles from her catalogue. There were images that exulted Beyonce to a place of worship and then there were parodies of these said images. Blogs dedicated special release posts to discuss the piece. In person, I heard the song emanating from…

    Ghose argues that being able to determine the sex of the baby could potentially lead to a sex-discrimination against women in society. This article also brings up the idea that if a parent was able to choose the traits of the child, this can worsen the relationship between the parent and the child, due to the fact that this can parents could be presented with tyrannical expectations (Ghose 2014). If a parent is able to dictate the traits of the child, this could hypothetically put pressure on the child that should also have the rest of his life…

    This Boy's Life Analysis

    A main characteristic and cause of immaturity is the overuse and dependence on imagination. This is displayed in children but also in Toby Wolff’s memoir This Boy’s Life. Toby frequently uses his imagination as both an escape and a shield from the harsh reality of his own current status. As a child, Toby would utilize his creativity to picture himself living a successful lifestyle instead of the poverty he was raised in. Even as he grew older, Toby would never be able to see himself anyway other than the identity he created for himself. Because Toby uses his creativity to re-invent a persona for himself in whatever way that pleases him, he does not ever truly consider the further consequences of his actions, contributing to his lack of foresight…

    Boy's Life Analysis

    As children, most people see the world as a place where no evil exists. In Robert McCammon's Boy's Life, Cory Mackenson realizes that one can find evil in the most unlikely places and says "The truth of life is that every year we get further from the essence that is born within us…life itself does its best to take that memory of magic away from us. You [do not] know [it is] happening until one day you feel [you have] lost something but [you are] not sure what it is." By using symbolism and irony, the author conveys that the experiences one goes through ruin one's way of viewing a seemingly ideal world.…
