The Pariahs Of Society: A Short Story
The pariahs of society, the naive and foolish, they were all duly targets, ripe for the picking.
It was so easy, yet so hard, I regret it now of course, but at the time it seemed like it was necessary for my own survival, that was a delusion of course, but I continued with the ghastly deeds nonetheless.
I was a scam artist, I did it all, fake medicine, faulty products, identity theft, it's what I had to to stay afloat.
And that’s all I was, staying afloat, I never got wealthy from my exploits, I didn't have many skills either, I honestly wish I could undo it all, I wish I could have been a contributor to society, rather than a dirty leech on it.

    Uncivilized In Brave New World

    In this section Huxley's is trying to point out the how different the reservations are from Bernard's society. He is trying to point how the civilization in the reservation is seen as uncivilized because of the lifestyle that Bernard and Lenina are used too. For example on page. 105 where Lenina and Bernard say," but cleanliness is next to fordliness." and " and civilization is sterilization." Because that is what they are used, I think Huxley is trying to say that every civilization doesn't necessarily have to be defined by the way other civilizations function. In the reservations, people can walk around naked and there aren't seen as uncivilized. But back at home where Lenina and Bernard live that is seen as uncivilized. In a way it was showing…

    God Help The Outcast Analysis

    The song I will be singing is called God Help the Outcast. It was recorded and released in 1996 with score by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Some of you may recognize bits of it from a well known Disney movie called The Hunchback of Notre Dame but it isn’t the exact same. The movies version is sung by the female lead Esmeralda. She uses it as a prayer while asking for the protection of her people the gypsies. A reason this song really resonates with me is the fact that she is that she doesn’t bother praying for herself but others around her.…

    Oppression in Cuckoos Nest

    Oppression is an omnipresent force which has fed on ignorance and hatred and affected the lives of the less fortunate and powerless. Through literature people are able to express their feelings and attitudes regarding an amalgam of elements. An example of this exists in the two texts, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” and “The Life Your Save May Be Your Own;” in both texts we see a clear correlation between the plot events in the stories and the events that took place in American History to oppress women and Native Americans. “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” and “The Life You Save May Be Your Own,” are similar due to the fact that they both metaphorically represent racism in the United States; it is clearly displayed through entrapment, subjugation of people, and prejudicial undertones used to limit the societal roles of those who face bigotry.…

    'A Tale Of Segregation'

    Since slaves were freed, to the 1960's, African Americans were segregated from white Americans. William and his father is one of the many examples of this. Using the passage, "A Tale of Segregation", William and his father had to wait their turn behind the white Americans for water. When it was finally their turn, white Americans told William and his father that they were going to stay and wait behind them for their turn until all the good white men were done. While waiting in line again, William's father says that "This was ab act of real hatred and prejudice", because at the time, whites and blacks were as formerly said segregated, but one did not have to give up his free will just because that's what the white folks said. I found my information…

    The Characteristics Of The Elite In Privilege, By Shamus Khan

    When we think of the word elite, we immediately attribute it to better. The statement, “The Navy SEALs are an elite fighting force,” implies a level of special of them that gives them social power. Author Shamus Khan describes the elite as a sort of club in his novel, Privilege. This club consisted of almost entirely white males of wealthy descent who for a long time, through schools such as his alma mater, were able to maintain a hold over the power by passing it from generation to generation (Khan 23). Khan also argues that the historically wealthy families (the elite) are able to best take advantage of their wealth and familial prestige to better adapt to the society around them (Khan 199). Whilst Khan is quite correct in the assessment…
