    Both One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and The Stepford Wives share cardinal themes that tie them together despite their many differences. The settings are very different with one being a quiet Connecticut town full of perfect women and their husbands and the other an insanity ward filled with committed mental patients and societies rejects. Powerful characters with strong desires unite the two stories. The antagonistic desire for power, the Hero’s struggle against the system, and the systematic manipulation of denizens are shared points between both Stepford Wives and One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.…

    To most Americans especially schoolchildren, the term "colonist" stimulates images of strong Pilgrims setting sail on the Mayflower or Arbella to land in the America’s—an impressive legend of hard-work and purpose. The records of John Smith, William Bradford, and John Winthrop, testify that in most cases the images evoked are true.…

    Fredrick Douglass is most like the report “Trapped in a Hellhole”, written by Stan Grossfeld about child labor in India. First, children were taken at a very young age and put to work as a ‘slave’, never to see their parents again. Fredrick Douglass was taken away from his Mother and reared on a different plantation. He say’s “My mother and I were separated . . . I never saw my mother” (2-3). Child labor in India is worked in a similarly manner as children are lured by men who falsely promise safety and education for the child to their parents. A boy named Laxmi said his father came to the factory to rescue him. He watched his father be beaten, and never saw him again. Another example can be proven in the beatings given for mishap among the workers. Fredrick Douglass speaks of Mr. Hopkins, a religious man who believed, “A mere look, word, or motion, mistake, accident, or want of power, are all matters for which a slave may be whipped at any time” (100). The children in India were treated in a similitude of the manner. Laxmi said, “If you got up, you’d be beaten,” while another boy of 9, named Udai Ram, was hit on the finger with a knife every time he made a mistake. However, in Fredrick’s case there was no law against slavery or ‘owning’ a slave as property. There is a law in India, though not enforced, prohibiting children younger than 14 from working. With this law, human rights workers can fight against child labor pertaining to the law given. In Fredrick Douglass’ time though, these fights for civil rights could not be justified by the law to protect them. Fredrick Douglass gave a true sense of what it means to be a slave and have no laws in place to help protect their rights for the future in becoming…

    One way that Holden and Jim are similar relates to their families. Holden and Jim don't exactly get along with their parents. Holden shares with us in the novel that he doesn't like talking much about his parents, and he chose roaming the streets of New York rather than being with them. Jim also resents his dad, as he doesn't take on the male roles society expects him to, but rather more “feminine” ones. He also isn't fond of his mother bossing his dad around, and his dad just simply taking it without standing up for himself.…

    I think Mike and Marty are complete opposites from each other. On the personality traits I rate them for the same traits but opposite sides. For example both have neuroticism, but Marty is stable, calm but insecure when Mike is tense, anxious but secure. I would also rate them both for conscientiousness Marty being careful, disciplined and organized but Mike being the opposite, careless, impulsive and disorganized. For extraversion, I think Marty is quiet, sober and retiring when Mike is mike is definitely talkative, fun-loving and sociable. Even though they have the same traits, they are opposites from each other.…

    Creative - Greg Heffley is very creative. He thinks of ways out even in the most complicated situations. One time, when his mom made him write out “Thank You” cards for his Christmas gifts. Greg got the easy way out. Instead of writing a unique, personal one for each person, he just wrote up a template and switched the gift each person gave him, and the name of the person and ta-da he was done. Another time, he got a new pair of shoes and didn't want to get them dirty, so he tied plastic bags around his shoes not to get them dirty. Last but not least he always “hires” himself some sort of a mini slave.…
