    Summary Of The Inheritance Cycle By Christopher Paolini

    This book does not shy away from difficult questions about the nature of magic and other races; it embraces them. Paolini created a unique system for dragons and humans to bond. These dragons are intimately bonded with their rider, and they care about each other in a relationship that is incredibly close.There is so many more details of their mental link or the nature and limitations of magic or the other races, but it is better to discover them yourself. This book features significant character progression, and the character at the end of the book is dissimilar from the character at the beginning. Eragon is forced to mature quickly because of his frequent encounters with danger. One interesting facet of this book is the interaction of different races with each other, and discovering how they live together. Why are some people able to use sorcery and others not?

    Compare And Contrast Magic Flawk And Dhowli

    In any work of literature, there is always an antagonist to a protagonist but it isn't often that a protagonist will be their own antagonist in a piece; acting their own source of conflict as well as possible downfall. However, in both Magic Chalk and Dhowli it can be seen that the protagonist goes through a series of events that leads to their inevitable downfall, many of which are actually dealt not by fate, but consequences of the choices they make. Argon and Dhowli, though of different cultures and circumstances, both struggle to deal with misfortune after misfortune, most seemingly by their own hands, essentially reaping what they sow. In this paper, the focus will be on how these two seemingly different characters can be tied together…

    Lila Mae Watson

    Lila Mae Watson faces drastically different challenges of modernity than those James Axton recognizes. Where Axton is an upper middle class caucasian man with the means and ability to move about the globe and hold a somewhat prestigious job, Lila Mae is the most talented Elevator Inspector in the city and can glean little to no respect from her peers and society due to Whitehead’s pre-civil rights setting. Lila Mae’s central test stems from her gender and race. The other African American or mixed characters in the novel, Fulton and Pompey, are also inspectors but both of them are male and “pass” as white ensuring them a degree of respect not granted to Lila Mae. Watson, however does not hide her lineage or race but yields to societal rules…

    In 1692, in the town of Salem, Massachusetts, several young girls experienced a conjured illness, triggering the beginning of mass hysteria in the town.

    Ann Hopkins

    According to the case, Ann Hopkins had worked successfully for Price Waterhouse since 1978 and was "nominated for partnership at Price Waterhouse in 1982." (p. 1) Out of 88 candidates she was the only woman. In the admissions process, forms were sent out to all Price Waterhouse partners of whom there were 662. These partners then submitted their comments about the candidates. . Only "thirty-two partners, all male, responded about Hopkins." (p. 5) The forms were then tabulated to achieve a statistical rating in order to determine if the candidate should be admitted to the partnership. Of the 88 candidates "Price Waterhouse offered partnerships to 47 of them, rejected 21, and placed 20, including Hopkins, on hold." (p. 1) "Some candidates had been held because of concerns about their interpersonal skills." "the Policy Board takes evaluations or a negative reaction on this basis very seriously," even if the negative comments on short form evaluations were based upon less contact with the candidate than glowing reports on long forms evaluations based on more extensive contact. The policy board had however, recommended and elected two candidates "criticized for their interpersonal skills". (p. 4) Approximately 1% of the 662 partners were women. Price Waterhouse "gave two explanations for this. One was the relatively recent entry of large numbers of women into accounting and related fields. The other was the success of clients and rival accounting firms in hiring away female potential partners." (p. 4). After hearing that it was unlikely that she would ever make partner, Ann Hopkins decided to "initiate a lawsuit charging Price Waterhouse with sex discrimination". She had been a valuable and productive member of the organization and it appears that she was denied admission as a partner since she did not fit the feminine stereotype.…
