    In my understanding of term "structure violence" is what Farmer has described through the Kidder book to explain how people living in other parts of the world (Haiti) with different social structure or political and economic system that essentially harm people by preventing them from getting their basic needs such as medical care and disease prevention.

    As her mother waits outside the bathroom door, Ruth Anne Boatwright, nicknamed Bone, is being beaten by her step-father, Glen. She looks into his menacing features and thinks, “it was nothing I had done that made him beat me. It was just me, the fact of my life. Who I was in his eyes and mine. I was evil” (Allison 110). Bone, the main character in Dorothy Allison’s Bastard Out of Carolina, comes to this irrational, self-deprecating conclusion as she is being abused one day and blames not her abuser, but her mere existence instead. However, it is Glen’s own insecurities that makes him resort to the physical violence aimed towards his step-daughter. This violence reinforces Bone’s self-blame and thus creates a never-ending vicious cycle as Glen…

I was in middle school but I understood that New York City was targeted and my life was put in danger but I did not realize that still 11 years later I would never be able to escape the thought that the attack could be repeated. The terrorist attacks committed by Osama Bin Laden on September 11, 2001 made America very well aware of how vulnerable it was. The immediate response was to make sure that it never happened again but the way American foreign policy was changed by Vice President Dick Cheney strengthened surveillance but has not eliminated the threat of another possible attack.

Foster asserts in the chapter “More than it’s Going to Hurt You: Concerning Violence” of How to Read Literature like a Professor that no violence exists for its own sake; Rather, violence is useful in contributing to the novel’s overall message. Crime and Punishment is powerful demonstrating the control of conscience, guilt and otherwise, over the life of man. Quite typically violence erupts due to a sick combination of id and ego.

    Can there be more than one type of violence? Maybe not in real life, but in literature there sure is! The two types of violence, authorial and narrative, were first introduced to us in Thomas Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor. The novel, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck depicts these types of violence in three different scenarios, and tells how these violences are different from each other. The killing of Lennie, the killing of Curley’s wife, and the fight between Lennie and Curley all had different effects on the novel due to the different types of violence.…

    During the time frame of 1860-1890 there was an area in the West known as the Great Plains. Although, before it was designated as the Great Plains it was known as the Great American Desert. The Great Plains was originally home to buffalo and Indians labeled as Plains Indians which can be broken down into several different groups such as, the Lakota Indians, Pawnee Indians, and Cheyenne Indians just to name a few. Soon all that changed when the Idea of money and greed came into the minds of some Americans, thus creating Cattle booms, Railroads, and mining towns, and the settlement of cowboys and railroad crews as well as U.S. Soldiers, and later, families on the Great Plains which was originally home to the Indians and buffalo. Due to this, violence and severe cuts to the buffalo and Indian populations became ubiquitous throughout the Plains.

    Violence In Mandingo

    shows the complete wickedness of the Antebellum South, but it has not actually been proven that these fights actually occurred. Slaves during this time were expensive and too valuable to waste for this type of entertainment. After all, plantation owners were businessmen, and they would not thoughtlessly put any of their investments in harms way (Moore. N 2015). Tarantino's reference to Mandingo fighting in this film is a reference to the 1975 film Mandingo, as it is one of his favourite films. Being about a slave who is trained by his owner to fight to the death with other slaves, Tarantino thought it was suitable to show in his film in an attempt to show some of the violence that was going on around this time – not necessarily Mandingo fighting.…
