    Ishmael Beah Analysis

    • 2 Pages

    Ishmael Beah is an unsettled thirteen year old boy. With no family to comfort him during the war, he is apprehensive. Images of violence, as cold as ice, constantly run through his brain. While circulating through villages, Baeh and his friends find dead bodies, burnt houses, empty bullet shells, and a variety more. By this point, it barely phases him. An empty village that the rebels have already raided is where the boys reside, at this time. This has become normal, because one may never know what the next day is going to give you. As stated by Ishmael Beah, "One of the unsettling things about my journey, mentally, physically, and emotionally, was that I wasn't sure when or where it was going to end. I didn't know what I was going…

    By reading this book, I learned a lot about teenagers’ critical situations at juvenile hall. This book gave me a greater insight and deeper understanding of what their lives are like and the challenges they face in this place. I also learned that the legal system is not doing a great deal to help these young kids mend their lives. They are not being offered counseling or therapy which could help facilitate a great deal of things for them such as, getting a better orientation of a path for them to follow, dealing with the excessive amount of stress they face in a healthy way and learning tools for becoming effective members of society once they get out of that place. This book gave me a broader view of the factors that could have potentially contributed and played a big role in these teenagers getting engaged with gangs or committing these crimes. Most of these teenagers, to not say all, come from a very dysfunctional family where they were either battered by the father, had no positive role model to follow or no parents at all. Probably most of them joined gangs to feel they belonged to a group or where part of a family. I learned how miserable they feel by being in this place and the feelings they experience such as, loneliness, confusion, depression, no sense of personal worth and extreme stress. Many of them feel like they just want to die. All these feelings are not being managed by therapy or counseling but rather by just having regular nurses give them psych drugs which is very sad. I learned that these young kids are in great need of affection especially from their mothers and how much a compliment means to them. I also learned the importance of being tough as a survival skill in the prison setting. Many of these teenagers feel remorse for what they have done and would like to have a…

    Andrew Cunanan Analysis

    • 332 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Andrew Cunanan was the typical boy who had everything on his side to become a very successful individual in life. However, the life of constant parties, drinking and easy money made him a miserable man. It seems that as a young boy, his father, conditioned him to a life of insecurities and to be someone who he was not meant to be. At one point in his life he had the world at his feet and suddenly this world of luxuries and pleasures began to cease to exist. I think envy is not the main reason for his atrocities in this case, but the impotence of having had it all and losing it all of a sudden. Perhaps it was his conscience reminding him what his life could have been if he had chosen the right path; he spoke seven languages this means he had…

    When approaching gallery 166 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I couldn’t help but notice the magnificent sculpture of the “Bronze statue of Camillus (acolyte).” As I began to study some background information on the early Imperial period of Roman culture, one would learn that there was an evident revival. The Romans were building at a fast pace and religious sacrifices were becoming more common. Throughout this Roman period, a Camillus (male) or Camilla (female) was the freeborn child of the religious cults officiant. These young boys were selected to serve during religious ceremonies where sacrifices were customary.…

    Their introduction of spiritual truths and ideals conflicts with the body politic’s perception of reality. As a result, both of the body politics conflict with their respective protagonists as the protagonists remain persistent by teaching in vain. For instance, when Jesus is taken to be crucified by the Jewish soldiers “they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt it in front of him and mocked him” (Matt. 27:28-29). This reveals that the consequences of Jesus’s obligation to teach the Jews and Gentiles beneficial truths and ideals are isolation, alienation, and execution. The Jews and Gentiles isolate and alienate Jesus onto the cross in order to execute him for teaching them truths and ideals that they cannot stomach. Identically, when the Platonic Prisoner returns to the prison, he struggles with isolation, alienation, and execution. “Wouldn’t he be laughed at? [...] wouldn’t they put him to death?” (Plato 125). This quote demonstrates that like Jesus, the Platonic Prisoner struggles with isolation, alienation, and execution. The commonwealth laugh at the Platonic Prisoner to isolate and alienate him so that his ideals cannot reach…

    “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” had a style that, once I took a closer look, surprised me somewhat. The painting seems to be made with many dots. It’s very impressive that the artist took the time and had the talent to use dots in such a way. Of course, it may have been the type of brush he used, or it is a painting technique that I do not yet know, but it certainly adds to the feel of the painting. I was also curious about the border of the painting. Rather than not have a border or having a simple border, the artist inverts the colors, making the edges much more blue, gray and purple. The objects and figures in the painting seem very solid and steady, and the lines do not blur. The people the artist painted do not seem to be very happy. They are relaxed, but none of them are smiling and very few are active. It also seems that, with a few exceptions, they are all shadowed, hiding from the sun. Although the painting is peaceful, it does not have the joy that Glackens’ “Beach Scene, New London.”…

    Slowly, student disapproval began to show. In the December 1906 issue of the Augustana Observer Emil F. Bergeron wrote about the somewhat absent spirit at Augustana. Bergeron, a captain of the 1904 Augustana football team, was confused on how Augustana, once a place where students were proud of their athletic accomplishments, could become such as place of dread. Rival newspapers ran articles describing how honorable and “clean and fair” Augustana athletes had been at previous intercollegiate events. It was surprising then when it was rumored that a reason behind the Synod’s elimination of athletics was for “illcultured behavior” and “degenerated college spirit.” The organized sports did not live up to Bergeron’s recollections. He could not…

    The Dream of the Rood

    • 1057 Words
    • 5 Pages

    By applying the heroic and warrior-like qualities to Jesus and the cross, it makes the story of the crucifixion more appealing to the Anglo-Saxons of the medieval era. Not only does it makes the story more appealing but it also makes it easier for them to associate with. The Anglo-Saxons were a very warrior based society in which they highly valued strength and bravery. In The Dream of the Rood, the author refers to Jesus as: “a young hero”, “a warrior”, “heroic”, “fair”, “young knight”, “Saviour”, and a “mighty king” (21-23). All of these titles provide the readers with an image of a brave and virtuous warrior. Not only is Jesus portrayed as a warrior, but the cross too becomes personified with warrior like qualities. During the crucifixion the author describes the sufferings of the cross rather than the sufferings of Jesus. In doing so the author allows the readers to associate the pain of the crucifixion with the cross rather than with Jesus. This draws the reader’s attention away from Jesus and creates a…
