Mohammad Ali used French advisors to build European style army, increase tax revenues by expanding irrigation, infrastructure and establishing factories.

  • A & P Essay

    ... “Wrong Decision” In the short story “A & P” by John Updike, is about a young man that is miserably employed. The short story tells of a small town boy quitting his job for all of the wrong reasons. The story began with a description of a three girls who changed Sammy’s life. Sammy develops the setting to tell the story of how he is a discontent grocer, and he is put in to a situation of the harsh reality of the adult world after making a childish decision. Updike tells the story using the elements of point-of –view, character, and plot. Updike uses the element point of view in the short story “A & P,” to help the reader realize the how Sammy expressed his feelings about the situation. Sammy has recently turned nineteen years old an age at which the stone the things were once written in, begins to erode. The late teen years are years that tend to be the age where when most people began to have greater sense of whom they truly are. As a result they tend to challenge authority as well as values and social mores that they have been told all of their lives are right. Updike pokes gentle fun at Sammy because he succumbs to the girls who are cast roles of the legendary Sirens—the mythological temptresses damsels’ proverbial knight and shining armor (Blodgett). However, this age also marks the period in their life where the line between childish rebellion and...

  • Essay about A to the P

    ...“A&P” The story “A&P” gives us a interesting, dynamic protagonist. We are given a short situation in which to determine his personality and his intentions. As the story progresses, we get a peek of Sammy’s personality, but his reasons are still a blur. Several other characters assist to contrast against Sammy. Though the story is short, we are left with a question to ask ourselves, why did Sammy do what he did? From the beginning of the story Updike uses Sammy’s youth and unromantic descriptive words to show his immaturity and boyish ways. We see this in the opening line of the story, "In walks three girls in nothing but bathing suits". Much of the information that Sammy relays about the three girls is sexually descriptive in a nineteen-year-old boy’s way, "and a sweet broad looking can with those two crescents of white under it, where the sun never seems to hit". It is obvious that Sammy looks at the three girls who happen to walk into the A&P only as objects of thirst or possibly boyish desire. Thus, on the surface it is easy to take this story as that of a boy who would do something like quit his job to impress these girls. Due to his actions I see him as being young and self centered. We see Sammy being self-centered when he allows the girls to continue shopping even though they're not appropriately dressed for the store. It's self-centered because the only reason he's doing it is so he can scope them out in...

  • A and p Essay

    ...characterization of Sammy, Updike employs a simple heroic gesture to teach us that all of our actions have consequences wand we are all responsible for our own actions. In the short story "A&P" author John Updike describes the setting and customers with great detail, while letting the reader make their own assumptions on Sammy's exact motivations for quitting his job. The ending of the story leaves you to draw your own conclusions of what does happens once he finally quits his job and the girls go about their regular business. This story is a classic example of how all our choices in life often have consequences and how important it is to carefully contemplate the consequences of our choices. In "A&P" Updike describes the store as a gray 1950's "Leave it to Beaver" kind of setting. The setting is not upbeat at all, actually the atmosphere of the grocery store is boring and extremely ordinary causing the three girls Sammy sees seem like the most entertainment he's ever had in the store. For example Sammy describes to you the florescent lights, the stacked packages and the checkerboard green and cream rubber-tile floor. The grocery store setting allows the girls to stand out even more than they would otherwise. Even though the girls are dressed in bathing suits Updike's way of describing the A&P store also reflects the personality of the town and the "sheep" like behavior Sammy talks about in the story. Sammy equates the...

    ... As humanity has progressed throughout history, there have been a number of times in which the interest and involvement of politics has changed. As we look back we can see that as the eras changed, interests of the people changed as well. One example of this is during the time of the Ancient Greeks. At this point in Western Civilization one polis by the name of Athens located on the coast of the Aegean Sea felt that political participation was a key factor in everyday life. Unfortunately not all Greek city-states were on the same page as the Athenians. While Athens took pride in their democratic elections, their assembly and their Council, other city-states such as Sparta took a much more different approach. Sparta was a society in which the main focus of all politics was to enter the military. Spartan men began their elite training around the age of seven. This training involved learning a number of skills such as stealth, loyalty to Sparta, military training, hunting, dancing, singing and social preparation. While this system helped Sparta become the military powerhouse it was in ancient times, it did not help them create an environment in which a complex political system could grow. The Spartans decided to opt for a political system that was stable and a system that protected the people of Sparta. By using oligarchy as their form of government, the Spartans let the powerful few rule which stagnated the role of the everyday citizen in politics. Now those few...

  • Essay on a&p case study

    ... There are many various conditions and diseases affecting the endocrine system. Here we will discuss several and describe the endocrine gland, hormone, target tissue, symptoms, causes, and treatment options. The human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test is done to check for the hormone hCG in blood or urine (Staff, 2012). The hCG hormone is made during pregnancy by the placenta or can be abnormally made by certain tumors. The hCG test can be performed to test if a woman is pregnant or not, as part of a screening test for birth defects, in a woman who may have abnormal tissue growth in her uterus, a molar pregnancy, or a cancer in the uterus rather than a normal pregnancy. HCG levels can even be measured in a man to see whether he has cancer of the testicles or not. HCG helps to maintain your pregnancy and affects the development of the baby. A condition in which the pituitary gland releases too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is Cushing disease. Cushing is caused by a tumor or excess growth of the pituitary gland. The ACTH released stimulates production and release of cortisol, a stress hormone. With Cushing disease the excess ACTH being released causes the glands to make too much cortisol. Some symptoms of this disease are upper body obesity, acne, backache, collection of fat between the shoulders, weak muscles, fatigue, and mental changes. Treatment involves surgery to remove the pituitary tumor, and then the pituitary gland may slowly start to work again...
