Book Analysis: Joanne Myerowitz, Women Adrift: Independent Wage Earners in Chicago, 1880-1930

The book majors on the impacts which were brought about by Civil War especially on the female gender. Many of women were forced to take responsibilities at their homes as men joined World War. The key point in this book concerns is the different between the ethical theory as well as femininity thinking. Considering individual actions utilitarian’s focuses on the effects of personal actions however, feminism majors on the traditional critique where the male gains favors thus, women are portrayed as ethically immature. Utilitarianism theory believes that the major concern of molarity is to make life easier and better by increasing the amount of desirable deeds. It is one theory that adheres to the principles of ethics where it suggests that, a moral philosophy opt to allow individuals to sway over them thereby, able to make personal decisions in their lives. The theory ensures that individuals have got full control over lives unlike the feminist ethical thinking, where gender utilization is not considered (Meyerowitz 9).

Joanne Myerowitz tries to suggest that every gender individual deserves moral right. Moral right is unusual as compared to the legal right since moral refers to something which is non-institutional. Moral and legal rights have relation since they are practice under similar social nature and are both dominion of respect. Feminism illuminates the importance of responding to freedom of rights plus the benefits of rights. Freedoms of rights are directed to every individual despite the age or gender, they holds opinions without any media interference. The benefit of right always results to peace unity and human respect (Meyerowitz 15).

According to the author it was a wonder that despite many women facing difficulties, there were still some who leapt a little opportunity of adventure simply by volunteering to fight with men when the Civil War was over. In Chicago the book suggests that more of the female gender especially the solders joined up with relatives as well as families due to various factors motivation. The author suggests that those women that joined the battle were not disguised as the male thereby; some of these women were set into regiments which at least one male was serving. However, the author’s majors on the theory by ensuring that individuals have got full control over lives unlike the feminist ethical thinking, where gender utilization is not considered (Meyerowitz 33).

The author suggests that sex difference is a fascinating social, cultural as well as medical history in America thus; she narrates a narrative over individuals who had a strong desire on changing their body sex. The author’s believe is  that  the female gender not capable of controlling the nation since they created a bad image on women where they refers to them as gentle who would not be strong enough to respond to a war thereby, leading to the downfall of the nation. Meyerwitz also suggests that it is sex changed in the history that irradiates the major vagaries which shapes our understanding of gender today (Meyerowitz 56).

In conclusion the book majors on Chicago precisely simply because the author believes that it is where Utilitarianism theory aimed at molarity making life easier and better by increasing the amount of desirable deeds. It is one theory that adheres to the principles of ethics where it suggests that, an ethical theory should allow people to reign over themselves thereby, able to make personal decisions in their lives (Meyerowitz 12).

The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs

Introduction

The Death and Life of Great American Cities authored by Jane Jacobs are basically centered on city planning and the associated strategies issues utilized by the cities planners throughout the whole 20th century.  According to Jacobs the rebuilding strategy has not been successful based on the fact that it has failed in reducing or eliminating the slums issues which result in the decay of cities neighborhood.   Jacobs, therefore, poses blame to the city planners, educators as well as theorists based on the claim that they are all involved.  In the book first, a part she provides an analysis of the things that generally contributes to neighborhood success (Jacobs, 14). Jacobs presents a view of the sidewalks, parks, and streets of the cities.  She analyzes the factors that generate a vital neighborhood by stating that the cities hold safe streets, sidewalks as well as safe parks which help in providing contact and the chance for the children that live around to gain training.  In the analysis of the positive and negative aspect of a city, she states that the age and the buildings shapes contribute to the presentation, cost as well as functionality.  A safe neighborhood according to Jacobs requires the incorporation of both old and new buildings as they help in facilitating diversity.  This is mainly because   new building encourages those that are rich to accommodate the buildings which are characterized with high rents (Jacobs, 22).

Several cities decays and slums generations and this occurs in several years before the actual decay (Jacobs, 16).  The creation of slums in the cities is based on the fact that fresh buildings are more encouraged thus eliminating individuals with low income.  In this individuals opt to live in the cities surrounding areas that are characterized by low cost. The rate of crime then increases in the cities since the planning generates a separation between the rich and those that are poor. The city planners are therefore required to take bold steps of addressing the issue but according to Jacobs, they are not doing this but instead they are more focused on buildings and beautifying the cities with new buildings.

According to Jacobs, the city planners are involved in slums rebuilding which is a general form of shifting those slums to a different location.  This is therefore not they general solutions to cities neighborhoods decay or them the general solution of eradicating slums.  Those that are being shifted hold the desire of living in the city in bettering their lives and this needs should be addressed.  Jacobs states that she feels that the most effective responsibility of the city developers is to conduct an evaluation of the neighborhoods and establish the factors that result in both failure and success.   In their roles, they should promote those aspects that lead to success and discourage the ones that result in failure.  However, the existing planning methodology fails based on the fact that its structure is not appropriate for establishing success. According to Jacobs the aspect of planning should not incorporate the act of separation and rebuilding but it should incorporate the success of the society.

In the first part, Jacobs presents an explanation of very influential thoughts in traditional development where she begins with Howard city garden.  Jacob presents the argument that the building of the cities is certainly irrelevant to the functioning of the cities.  The cities should offer both safety and protection to those that live there without favor (Schubert, 1).  This should, therefore, incorporate characters from different social levels such as storekeepers who can help in enhancing the sidewalk life’s social nature through learning and generating awareness of information.   The structures of the city like parks can help in lowering racial discrimination through developing better relations.  Jacob defines a neighborhood as a self-governance structure which cannot function on its own.  She states that city neighborhoods are made up of three levels which are city districts, streets, and the city itself.  In the context of the city streets, they should effectively hold the capability of asking for assistance when an enormous issue arises.  On the other hand, effective districts should be present to the street and the city acts as the source of public money from both the federal and the state structure (Schubert, 1).

The second part having illustrated the significance of diversity in a city explains the situations of diversity that generates productive cities.   Jacobs makes refute of the existing myth that diversity in a traditional development would result in failure.  In the first place, she generates the argument that city’s diversity does not reduce naturally the visual order.  She supports the argument by stating that diversity cannot be blamed for cities congestion which is primarily caused by cars and not persons as a diversified society encourages the act of walking (Jacobs, 50).

In the third part, Jacobs presents an analysis of the regeneration and decline forces in the cycles of the cities.  This includes the self-destructive aspect that is represented by efficient diversity dampening inspiration, instability of population due to diversity development challenge and public and private Currency effects (Schubert, 3). Based on population instability slums exist based on the unstable diversity population and the solution to this issue according to Jacobs is to ensure that those that live in the slums are motivated to develop the neighborhoods. This should, therefore, be accomplished through developing the living standards of individuals living in the slums through increasing monies.  Jacobs makes the argument that money is characterized by several limitations because it cannot by cities success unless appropriate strategies are incorporated.  Self-destruction occurs when the dwellers and the existing businesses are replaced by profitable aspects (Schubert, 3).

Jacob utilized her individual observation in regard to the city in the formulation of her philosophy about city planning yet she held no professional planning training.  Despite the fact that some of the generated viewed from the observation work against the required urban planning standards her work makes much sense in the modern and traditional cities (Schubert, 6).  According to Jacobs, the principles that are directly connected to city planning are both disadvantageous and inaccurate to the cities.  The uprooting of most families and damaging to most cities business are influenced by expressway construction based on Jacobs’s expression.  She gives an example that a banker is bound to consider a certain area in a society as a slum based on his own perception.  However, the area which is considered as slums can be a naturally flourishing community whose potential is yet to be exploited.  In this perspective, banks deny loans to the particular areas which are seen as slums and therefore the liveliness of that community is an implication of community’s interaction (Schubert, 6).

The claim made by Jacobs that the city planners are mainly concerned with automobiles mainly is true. This is because the particular planners see cars as they causes of cities decays as well as the required item by the community’s residents (Schubert, 8). The presented arguments by Jacobs in her writing of the book are in a certain degree relevant to the modern city planning today.  She argued that cities are expected to act as diversity developers in her city planning description. She develops the significant statement that cities should be able to develop and economic base and other parts of cities development.   She argues that cities hold the greater part of supporting diversity in comparison to other areas.  She gives the example of Vietnamese restaurants presence in the cities.  She states that through diversity prosperity is achieved and in smaller towns which are not yet cities, where the massive market appeal is not present prosperity, may not be achieved easily.  Individuals huge collections works in ensuring that  cities hold the capability of offering  diversified businesses and individuals from distinct regions in the world (Mennel, Jo Steffens, and Klemek, 5). This, therefore, verifies the argument made   by Jacobs that cities are the primary generators of diversity and prosperity.

Urban designing and planning are focused on two primary concepts which entail the ability to meet interests and tendencies which can be classified as requirements and standards.  In the context of need, they are basic and this can be classified as natural values and meet them is the responsibility of the associated bodies (Mennel, Jo Steffens, and Klemek, 6).  This, therefore, implies that a city that is planned based on the existing needs solemnly would thus be structured on direct requirement thus forgetting the outcomes of the particular actions.   The argument that city planning should consider individuals diversity to attain progress by Jacobs is, therefore, true because a diversified planning helps in increasing   community’s interaction (Mennel, Jo Steffens, and Klemek, 7).

A contemporary city should hold different characteristic which ranges from demographic, defensiveness, appearance, safety, cultural and an industrial nature.  According to Jacobs with a diversified city’s structure more opportunities for the diversified population can be generated (Jacobs, 82).  This solves the issue of production, comprehension, and well as environment preservation.  The argument that urban planners and developers responsibilities of handling city issues are wrong is true.  This is mainly because the planners and the developers concentrate more on the needs of the city rather than the interests of individuals.  However, her opposition of complex and large urban buildings is not relevant because the initiatives help in accommodating the growing population. In the modern contemporary cities in America, parks are utilized in growing interaction which is influenced by the ability of the parks to hold a diversified population (Jacobs, 42).  This, therefore, results in a vibrant city which shows the relevance of Jacobs’s argument of creating safety parks to develop interactions and relations.

The current cities in the United States are characterized by huge and complex buildings which are associated with a higher living cost. This results in slums which cannot be solved by rebuilding because the slums residents population is shifted to a different location (Jacobs, 64). This means that a solution to the issue is not drawn as this is a temporary solution.  Jacobs’s argument is true that complex building results in less production because of the separation that is caused based on high cost.  Cities generate multiple choices that can result in increased development.  However, a flexibility of access is an essential aspect. It is, therefore, important to incorporate   transportation in the city without destroying the intricate that is related and land use concentration.  The city developers and designers are expected to make adequate considerations of additionally uses to compete with the needs of automobile traffic (Jacobs, 72).  The argument raised by Jacobs is true based on the fact that the modern cities in the United States are characterized by high traffic.  This issue, however, cannot be solved by reducing the population as this would be interfering with the needs of individuals.  This can, therefore, be solved through the utilization of wider sidewalks which would encourage a wider population this solving the issue of traffic.

The modern city planners focus on developing the automobile roads in order to accommodate the growing use of vehicles in the city. This is however not a solution as cars will automatically increase with time and the need to develop the roads further will grow.  Instead, the road use can be   reduced through ensuring that the roads are developments are reduced (Jacobs, 212). The argument that facilities such as parks, streets and sidewalks helps in reducing social inequity and  developing better relations is relevant in the modern cities in the united states.  This is mainly because through specific events in the cities individuals from different backgrounds and ethnicities are able to interact freely thus developing better relation which results in prosperity.

The argument made by Jacobs that cities are an issue of complexity which is organized by planners, educators and theorists are true. The planning of the city should be favorable to the growing population to reduce the issues of overpopulation which in turn leads to slums development.  Due to the highly structured buildings in the cities, the living standard is developed which implies that individuals with lower income are forced to look for better solutions to the issue (Mennel, Jo Steffens, and Klemek, 10).  Diversifying businesses will encourage prosperity throughout the presented population. The issue of slums community can best be solved by money distribution to the slums residents. This favors the development of different programs thus attaining prosperity as individuals are motivated to develop their communities.

Conclusion

In summary, Jane Jacobs’s criticisms on cities planning can be regarded as an urban iconic development which is relevant to the modern cities in American today.  The arguments are well incorporated in the modern cities and their characteristics are viewed to as a description of a safe and a better city.  Cities are clearly physical things which need to incorporate individual’s needs as well as provide adequate solutions to the existing issues.  It is clear that the issues that are faced in the cities can only be solved by better planning.  This is because the planning should not only be based on the needs but also on the impacts that will follow.  Modern city planning is centered on complexity which is based on the growing need for accommodating the growing population as well as offering solutions to issues such as traffic which are only short term solutions. The criticisms made by Jacobs are true because complexity only encourages social inequity and development of more issues.  City development should be based on the interests and wellbeing of every individual.

Book review

Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande

The author in this book makes it clear that everyone has to die regardless of how careful or healthful their habits are. He highlights that everybody will have to die possibly after decline and weakness for a long period of time. He gives an example of an average American who spends one year or even more disabled in a nursing home. He even shows that the medical system will not be of great help to them in the end (Gawande, p.3). The end days of old people are given over to treatments that destroy their brains and the body for the benefit of the care givers. This increases the harm inflicted on the people as they do not have the chance to do what they feel like. He also gives the example of his wife’s grandmother who was taken to a nursing home when she was old. The grandmother felt incarcerated as if she was jailed for old age (Gawande, p.3).

The author argues that all patients and families have a desired goal which is the quality of life. His words are good and helpful because reading this book would enlighten the minds of the younger people on how to take care of the elderly. He states that they should not be taken to nursing homes because they only feel as prisoners when they are there. He gives an example of other solutions for this which includes models that will make them feel and socially active. He also indicates that the last days of old people should be happier, dignified and prosperous. He also gives examples of how family members can offer support to the elderly in order for them to have a good ending (Gawande, p.3).

READING RESPONSE

It is true to say that Second Sex by De Beauvoir is one of the first confrontations of a feminist point of view. De Beauvoir’s in this book is men primarily coerce females by characterizing them on any given level. Men have occupied the role subject and self as they are transcendent, essential and absolute when on the other hand a woman is an object as she is inessential, mutilated and incomplete (Beauvoir, 2011). De Beauvoir’s says that a man further imposes his will on earth as he creates, invents, acts whereas a woman is deemed to be inwardness as she waits for a man to save her. Like most military leaders Napoleon is no different as he argued that a woman is solely a mother. This is unfair to the female gender as there are deprived of their rights. The married women powers are limited to the marriage contract and the law that limit them to political rights (Beauvoir, 2011).

In support of the Second Sex chronicles, female humans have occupied the second position in the society as De Beauvoir’s turns to psychoanalysis, biology, and the historical materialism. De Beauvoir’s considers the historical state of male superiority in the French revolution and female subordination. I agree with De Beauvoir’s as she argues that history is not an immutable fact but it is rather a reflection of injustices, attitudes, and preconceptions. According to De Beauvoir’s (2011) women, liberation is a collective task as it requires all economic revolution of the feminine condition in order to attain salvation and reinforce women dependency. This will help the women in drowning the thought of being an object and break free particularly in a marriage that will create equality (Beauvoir, 2011).

A Doll House Act 1, Act 2 and Act 3

Genetic science and technology in the ninetieth century’s invention led to the development of interests in the inherited traits and diseases.  In the Doll's house presents numerous references to the thought that both moral traits and physical illnesses are transferred from a generation to the following generation. After reading Krogstad’s letter Torvalds rejects Nora and then he warns her from raising their children because he believes that Nora will taint the kids in terms of morals.  Nora already holds the conviction that she will blemish them and with this, in mind, she starts to draw distance from the children (Wilder, and Henrik 11). In addition, Torvalds believes that Krogstad’s kids are bound to be spoilt by the moral crimes of their father.  On the other hand, DR Rank has been diagnosed with spine tuberculosis which he inherited from his dad who was living promiscuously thus contracting the venereal illness this causes his death (Wilder, and Henrik 24). A doll house presents different perceptive of inheritance and this paper will thus seek to present an analysis of the inheritance theme as portrayed in the play.

In the doll house, exceptional inheritance theme can be considered as a ubiquitous perception.  The character that is held by Nora is established to have originated from her father who existed in a suspicious manner and as a money waster.  This, therefore, explains that Nora’s father character was not above what individuals show and thought of him and this was on the line of suspicion (Wilder, and Henrik, 11).  It is thus clear that Nora’s mysterious collisions make the demonstration of stealthy conduct tendency.  This is portrayed when she sneaks macaroons, makes the attempt to hide the first letter that comes from Krogstad and she takes out money and she pays off a secret loan that she had attained from Krogstad. This secret, therefore, illustrates the secretive conduct that Nora held.  In the context of inheritance Mrs. Linde makes the suggestion that children who live in houses that are characterized by a crime are bound to inherit the conduct.  From this Nora realizes that she will poison her children and she tries to distance herself so that the children may not inherit forgery from her (Wilder, and Henrik 34).

On the other hand, Dr. Rank makes a claim that the spine tuberculosis that he had been diagnosed with and had inherited it from his father. This illness results in a particular death diagnosis while Dr. Rank is still following the prime of his existence (Wilder, and Henrik 24).  This is, therefore, a kind of inheritance which is particularly based on illnesses which result in the occurrence of death. Krogstad is very ready and determined to maintain his position at the institutional bank because he believes that this is the only way that he has in order to rehabilitate individual reputation.  Krogstad, therefore, believes that if he fails to regain his good reputation before his children grow and become of proper age to understand things they will reputation (Wilder, and Henrik, 28). This, therefore, implies that when they inherit his bad reputed name they are bound to suffer throughout their existence as they will hold no opportunities to achieve success.

The doll’s house, therefore, portrays an extraordinary inheritance perception which is passed from a generation through dishonorable actions.  The inheritance that is portrayed in the play mainly displays negative results as those that receive the inheritance are faced with suffering. In the play for both Krogstad and Nora, the thought of transferring dishonor to their kids is being avoided through positive conduct. Nora, therefore, makes the decision of being self-based by avoiding all the important relationships that would connect her to her husband and father.  On the other hand, Krogstad does his best to make his reputation better for his children to inherit a better name to avoid suffering.  He additionally avoids inheritance fate which would have resulted in his marriage with Mrs. Linde (Wilder, and Henrik 44).

Dr. Rank receives his inheritance of an ailment but this was mainly because he did not take any respective action to avoid the occurrence. He failed to take advantage and enjoy life as he only realized how important it was at the last minutes. In addition, he failed to make a confession for his true love for Nora and when he made the decision the right time was in the past. Dr. Rank complied with that that he believed was his own fate and he, therefore, made the choice of receiving the inheritance (Wilder, and Henrik 52).

Conclusion

In summing up, in the doll house the theme of inheritance is portrayed through different character’s relationships. In the inheritance, the concept can be viewed as a declaration that situations plays part in shaping individuals conduct but are not responsible for fate’s determination. This, therefore, implies that an individual can be able to develop a different fate regardless of their parent's conduct or  the  situation that  they are  in. the inheritance that is portrayed in the play can be seen as optional act as an individual can choose  to  live differently without inheriting immoral  behaviors as well as passing them to their children.

DROPBOX

Houston did see the chance to develop an invention that would enable the clients to upload their information and orchestrate them instantly. Houston brilliant thought came about as he felt was the necessity for his product as he was forgetting his USB item because he sought to work on the automobile (Eisenmann, Pao  & Barley, 2). Another reason that drove him even was the fact that his desktop at home exploded due to the power supply that destroyed his hard drives and he had no backups. As a result of this, he began to build up a sample model of his inspiration that would let its clients to upload their work and have much information space as desired (Eisenmann, Pao  & Barley, 2).

In the current business model, Dropbox offers the business clients a software provides a trail for changes in business in actual time of any folder kept in the restricted Dropbox of the user which is considered to be user-friendly.  The first key element of the prototype was the ability to access their files through internet connections despite the size or the type (Eisenmann, Pao  & Barley, 4).  Its key element in a business model is accessibility and simplicity which simplified the complex operations of the business. A high quality of service is another key element. According to Houston quality refers to the safety of information and document and the rate at which the process takes 5. He came up with a program that would operate some innovative technological conception that would update all the changes and offer a local storage of the main file. Another key element in the business model was the release of a single account for all users specifically. This strategy gave the company an opportunity to expand by Trojan horse plan targeting the users (Eisenmann, Pao  & Barley 6).

The profitability of Dropbox by June is foreseeable to be positive as I am optimistic about the prospects. The ability of the consumers to understand the benefits that come with the storage cost money that comes in form of online services and physical drives is a factor attributed to its success. The performance of the Dropbox is advantageous as large storage for big files and many files as it is able to overcome the issue of firewalls (Eisenmann, Pao  & Barley, 3). The security of the software plays a critical role for the small and the medium-sized companies as they mostly affected with security concerns. As a start up for the security, the prototype caters for the customer worries as they product is supported which offers a positive prospect for the Dropbox (Eisenmann, Pao  & Barley, 4). Due to the invention of the good product and the market strategy by Houston he was able to concentrate on the growth of the Dropbox that spearheaded the growing of the market to his own advantage.

The estimation of Dropbox profitability influences the evaluation of the venture’s prospect as a result of the assumptions made from the optimistic prospect. The assumption of the venture prospect projected an annual growth of $2.5 billion Dollars by 28 % in the year 2014 (Eisenmann, Pao  & Barley 9). In this estimation, I assumed that the market will be growing at a big potential rate resulting to profitability in the coming years. The MVP of the Dropbox as a new product can be seen to allow the team to maximally collect a large number of clients with little effort. This is evaluated on visionary clients that would be used as a test version before getting in the market.

Initiation Story of Nick in the Indian Camp

Introduction

Ernest Hemingway short story of the “Indian Camp” acknowledges the full range of existence from the time of delivery to demise that eventually can take place in a day (Meyers, 2012). The short story shows Nick’s rite of passage from a boy to a man. At the beginning of the story, Nick has portrayed a naive child to being a grown-up with the very direct information of the human being transience and the absurdity of demise that takes place simultaneously. Nick's accompanied his father to an Indian camp where nick observes his father performing an emergency operation on a woman giving birth. During this time they also experience a shocking turn of events of an Indian husband who committed suicide as a result of the unbearable pain from his leg.

A post-colonialist approach has been used by Ernest Hemingway as he tried to explain the interaction of the natives and the white Americans. This approach creates a deeper and a clear understanding of the colonization and how the Native Americans were treated by the white Americans. Hemingway uses a symbolic story that puts out the injustices that were inflicted by the white people who were oppressors by the use of his character (Meyers, 213).  For example, George who was Nick’s uncle is a symbol of prejudice of the American society that is against the Indian culture. This is evident when the pregnant woman bites Uncle George and goes further to call him a damn squaw which is an assault on him and can be regarded as a primitive and instinctive reaction to the pain she was going through but in his own response George considered it as a cultural condition that had being displayed in racial biases (Meyers, 212). . Nick’s character has been personified with innocence, George represents oppression while the doctor who was Nick's father represents denial or dismissal (Meyers, 219). The characteristics of the white have highlighted traits such as the inability of adapting with the colonizers, loss of identity and the fear they had about death (Meyers, 218). This is because the whites were considered to be superior to the Indians who were colonized by the white people. The American Indian husband resigned to take away his own life due to the thoughtless racism of the white men who had come to offer help.

Hemingway grew up in a vocational home in the northern part of Michigan where there was an extensive integration of the Native American people and the whites. The short story has expressed the very actual events that happened in his daily life. Doctor Adams took his son to fishing similarly to what his father who was a physician used to do.

The image of suffering has been well but out as well as some culture issues. Women assist pregnant women to give birth but men are not supposed to do so according to the culture as they are seen to move away so that they cannot hear her screaming. It is their ritual that only women are allowed to see other women labor.  Indian men are not interested in childbirth (Meyers, 215). The metaphor of dark is brought in by Hemingway.  This shows that there are secrets, it is all hard and they are not allowed to see (Meyers, 216). That is the reason men are seen to distance themselves with the pregnant women who make loud noises as they prefer silence.  According to Nick’s father the noise is not important most probably he hears it very day during his work and its nothing new compared to the reason why the Indian men prefer not to hear about it. It is the opposite to Nick as he finds the noise a bit scary as he can relate the pain the young woman is going through as he is seen asking his father if there is something he can do about it in order to reduce it but the father rubbish it off by telling Nick to try and ignore it basing it on the fact that Nick is a young boy and it is so well understandable (Hemingway, 30).

The fishing knife is also used as a metaphor whereby the knife is used as a surgical tool to perform the operation as it is the only operation (Meyers, 211). The operation took place without the administration of any anesthesia to the Indian woman that shows it as the most primitive way of an operation but despite all that the Indian woman is grateful the big assistance she got. The metaphor of the blanket and the bunk has helped in building images which give a sense of truth in the story.

The theme of masculinity has been initiated from the beginning of the story as Nick is exposed to childbirth and the unintentional violent death of the Indian man. Hemingway story of sexuality culminates butchery kind of style birth and the bloody death that resulted in Nick’s anxiety as he is seen to turn away from the caesarean but his father involved him in it (Meyers, 213). The events that Nick witnessed badly scared him as they made him nervous. The trauma of childbirth and the suicide have been painted by Hemingway in a leitmotif manner that has unified the framework of the story. Nick was overwhelmed by the thought of death as there were three shots the previous night when Nick was left in the forest alone (Hemingway, 30).

Thematic issues have been well articulated as there has been the use of symbols and symbolism (Hemingway, 30).  There has been a thematic usage of both light and darkness which is a symbol of racial prejudice together with the personal growth of the central character. The narrative has showcased to the whole world the oppression of the Indian people and the chauvinism that has degraded the role of the ignorant stereotypes. The narrative also describes the white men as a self-made utopia of understanding and light. There is the symbol of supremacy when a white skinned man is seen to take over the dark skinned man in the entire narrative. The theme of light and darkness symbolizes the two different cultures that are seen to crush but they can be considered as a symbol of un enlightenment and understanding that affects both the cultures as well as the story of Nick who is considered to be the protagonist (Meyers, 214).

Plot issues have been expressed well in a fairly simple manner (Hemingway, 31). Nick is not the same compared to the way the story ended as he started experiencing certain thing that is bound to happen to anyone during their life. The events have changed how he viewed life and at least had the knowledge of the other culture of the Indians who seems not to be so friendly with them (Meyers, 215). There has been a description of Nick’s inner feelings as he felt that he will never die which is contrary to the normal expectation of humans. Nick’s character has been contributed by his life encounters compared to that of the other characters (Hemingway, 30). The plot is in a literal manner as it has involved the causes and the effect that do change over time and as a result of the casual scenes the Indian camp  plot as been well constituted. “Do ladies always have such a hard time having babies?” Nick asked. “Why did he kill himself?” (Hemingway, 30). The conversation between Nick and his father shows how greatly Nick has been affected by the traumatic events of a woman delivering and a man taking his life away as they both experience a lot of pain that he did not understand well. The plot of Nick confrontation of the life and death has been clearly shown that Nick will not be the same again as he has been exposed to mood-altering and mind-altering experiences that should not be witnessed by a young growing man (Hemingway, 30).

Conclusion

The narrative has expressed its issues in a third person perspective but it has been able to achieve its objective. It is true to say that Ernest Hemingway is a significant writer as he has been able to portray the plot in an orderly manner. Despite all the credit there is bound to be some criticism due to the idea of feminism in the plot. The writing styles have been well incorporated making the achievement of the Indian camp remarkable as it can be described to be best known, violent and dramatic as well that adds power to his fiction of saving of a life.

The purpose of retelling the fairytale is to portray the image of traditional femininity and the struggle of women in finding their identity. The important point is not about the physical beauty but rather it is about the inner conflict and turmoil which female goes through in life within the Beast’s society. The latter presents the American society and gender Stereotypes.

She endures selfless attitude and physical trauma from Beast and the latter has a dominant role in the Beauty’s life.  The author is compelled by social issues and reflects the popular culture of feminine objectification. The author made a significant alteration to show how Belle as a female protagonist struggles to resolve the social and moral issues. With respect to the novel, popular culture is creating discrimination and sexism against women and they are struggling with their self-identity and femininity right.

The author of this article asserts that the retelling portrays the’ raunch culture’ where sexualized images and sexual feelings of young girls are openly portrayed.  Beauty forms a liminal relationship in heroine’s social world and the latter portrays her normative heterosexuality.  In popular culture, woman is portrayed as a sexually inexperienced character who is threatened by male power in the form of a monster.

 In contemporary American culture, the author shows how Beauty and Beast works   in the society.  The modern culture reinforces the patriarchal ideology where male trait undervalues femininity and views sexism as a normal thing. The author asserts that U.S sitcoms are portraying feminist as minor characters. Women in sitcoms are portrayed as post feminist trap which means that they are oppressed in gender constellations and sexist edges.  The negative portrayal   is long-established in American modern culture and beauty and beast is presented to reinforce this ideology. The beauty is shown to struggle with nature and civilization. The gender ideology drives the author in retelling the story to show that women are struggling to define their identity between patriarchy and feminism.

The novel is interconnected with cultural transmission where culture reveals the anthropocentric privilege. Gender is the main topic discussed in the fairytale and the author represents how female and male role are viewed in the society. For many years, women have been discriminated and treated as sexual tools, and the author revisits the issue in popular culture. They are used as sexual objects by men and in the society; they are unable to define their identity or their role. Being driven by the gender ideology, the fairytale play an important role of revealing the popular culture and domesticated female in the patriarchal society.

Women are portrayed as ‘female bestial subject’ where they are required to comply with masculine power. In classic horror movies, women are defined as biological freaks and vulnerable characters to male power.  As they struggle to free from the dominion, they are defeated and domesticated and survives unpleasant life. The fairytale   portrays an implicit image on how female experiences hardships and turmoil in developing their identity.

            Poem One

            The Whispering Nights

When the evening spreads out like the sky,

When the river of blood still flows,

Let us all go, just me and you,

Like patients who are restricted by beds,

Let’s all go through particular streets,

Those that are covered by persons, cars and buildings

The restless streets

The restless night,

Let’s walk on everything,

The retreats whispering,

Of the restless nights,

We can walk pass the half-naked beings,

Let’s settle in one of the cheap hotels,

Those that our wellness can afford,

Let’s wipe the evenings with memories,

Memories that only all of us can remember,

Let’s un-dust the day  by living  the night,

When the river of blood flows,

Let’s leave for the streets,

My love for you is just like red,

Let’s all go, just me and you.

Poem Two

The Sky above

All day, all nights,

You remain there, in that single position,

You never leave the rain and the sun by its own,

Nights and days are supported and determined by you,

Your support is never ending.

There you display your beauty extensively,

Beyond you we cannot see.

You are the highest site that I , we  see.

They emphasis that there is more beauty, peace and life above you,

With your ranging color,

The week starts and ends with you.

Your energy cannot be described

What of your beauty?

But they do not talk much about you.

I choose you,

I see you, every day, but we never talk

Your support, energy and beauty,

Is well appreciated,

But they never say it,

But I did, because you are the highest ground.

Above you remain.

A DOLL’S HOUSE

Analysis

Themes

Henrik Ibsen clearly resonates issues are affecting women in the society, along with the sacrificial role of women is the paternal and devoted compulsions. In the play, we see how Mrs. Linde thought it was wise to abandon Krogstad who was penniless and marry a rich man to support her own mother and brothers as well. Also, the nanny found herself working for Nora so that she can afford to sustain her own child and Nora in the hand despite being advantaged in contrast with other women in the paly still finds herself living a difficult life. Her husband Torvald happens to be the dominating all her life adding to the fact that society dictates he dictates everything in the partnership (Ibsen, 12). Later on, we learn how Nora left her children and fled since she would sustain the wrath of the husband upon realizing the loan she took and this could be interpreted as the act of sacrifice.

Both, Dr. Rank, Torvald, and Nora have justified that a parental should be morally upright and upstanding due to the reasoning parents immorality is passed to the offspring. In fact, Torvalds voices the notion that of individual’s parents dictate one’s decent traits when he voices to Nora, “Nearly all cases of early corruption may be traced to lying mothers” (Ibsen, 47). Consequently, he refuses Nora to intermingle with the children since learning her deceit, the play does not give a clear picture in regards to the women’s absurd decisions but the inkling of child debt to parents depict a complete complexity and reciprocal situation of family duties. Another theme is the appearance which does not appear to be real for instance, Nora who appears silly and kind of childish later she proves otherwise.  Torvald portrays a strong character of compassionate and strong husband would later show his real self by displaying pettiness and cowardice as soon he discovers that Krogstad might uncover him to scandal (Ibsen, 57). Not as expected, Mrs. Kinde and Krogstad would later the real lovers.

Motifs and Symbols

Nora’s comprehension of freedom meaning is off the hook since it repeats over the play shifting occasionally after being forced by the situation. At first, freedom to her is will be regained when she settles her debt enabling to get devoted fully to her domestic obligations (Ibsen, 122). Eventually, when Krogstad blackmails her she is then forced to change her conception. And, at the close of the play she see’s freedom as nothing close to family obligation but rather pursuing of her dreams and identity. Letters have been used in Ibsen play to display a subtext which would reveal nothing but the truth in regards to Nora and Torvald’s exertions of beautification (Ibsen, 106). Incidentally, Krogstad compiles two letters in which it exposes Nora’s crimes and the second one expounds on the blackmail. The letter does more harm to Nora and same to Torvald in exposing the truth in regards to selfishness and consequently participation of happy marriage halts. The Christmas tree symbolizes Nora’s ability inside the house as plaything looking pleasing and furthermore adds charm to the home. In several occasions, the Christmas tree has played important role in her and we even see how she dictates that the tree would only be seen when it has been decorated (Ibsen, 2). To her husband, he can see her dress until later at the evening dance. New Year’s Day is the day Nora and Torvald looked up to at the beginning when they were both happy. He would be excited about his new job and the admiration it will come with whilst she anticipates to pay off the secret debt courtesy of Torvald success. Henceforth, the new year would often smudge the start of a justly new and different season which touches their personalities in lengthy.

The Great Gatsby

The loss of Gatsby’s American dream can majorly be attributed to his delusion that acquiring more material wealth can make him win the love of Daisy. This represents the materialism and consumerism which lead to a wrong perception among people and thus shattered dreams for the most o them. Gatsby truly believed that gaining more material wealth would give him a better chance of receiving a response from the love of his dream. The failure of his dream can, on the other hand, be as a result of lost focus and moral decay as seen in his careless life style (Harold &Hobby, 68). Instead of focusing on being an honorable after acquiring his wealth, he becomes a quasi member to the crowd in which Tom and Daisy belonged by his attempt to live to the material culture common in that decade. This is indicated by the writer’s assertion that “they were careless people Tom and Daisy” (Wilson, 246).

Daisy was an important person that influences the efforts and focus of Gatsby and through such efforts to win her over, he become as careless as her.  When they both hit Myrtle with a car, he shows no concern for him, but I pre-occupied with the possibility of the incident causing   trouble for Daisy (Harold &Hobby, 68).  The values represented by the material wealth such as homes, cars and parties were the main reason for the destruction of Gatsby’s dream.  The story is an indication of the America in the 1920’s and seems to show how the American dream disintegrated in a period of unexpected material excess and prosperity (Wilson, 246). The recklessness in partying and desire for wealth resulted to the corruption of such dreams.

A Discovery

The entrance of a small college institution can be viewed clearly, leaves full trees are lining on the entrance of the school.

The strong blowing wind can be felt.

The sun is already setting and above the sky is covered by a heavy red tint.

From the look of the surrounding, the next happening cannot be defined clearly.

The parking lot is covered by a few cars unlike the usual.

From a student, a couple of students can be seen walking past.

The campus ground is covered by a lot of trash and beer cars that decorates the whole ground.

The faces of those passing by cannot be identified because everyone seems to be involved in something or heading somewhere.

Scene One: Inside the Classroom

Teacher: Good morning

Students: Good morning to you too

(The teacher enters hurriedly and after greetings, she begins to distribute the quiz results papers immediately).

Teacher: Okay, today there is nothing else to do.  Revise your papers accordingly based on my comments at the end of the paper.  The class has thus been dismissed.  As for Emma, Audrey, Shirley and Maureen please remain in class as the others head out. We have a lot to talk about.

(The four girls picks their books and bags and walks towards the front of the class closer to the literature teacher)

Maureen: Is this all about the literature test results that you just distributed? We shall work on revising the test accordingly as you requested madam.

Emma: (Remains silent and from the look on her face she seems to be bothered by the situation but she has nothing much to offer and she opts for silence)

Teacher:  In particular there is so much to discuss.  First, the test results for the four of you were so disappointing! Can someone please make me understand what the issue with you is? Why are you always in the wrong as a team? S is too challenging to be in school?

Rose: No we are not we are just trying to say that we cannot be blamed for everything as we do try our best.

Maureen:  Nobody is to be blamed here but we just cannot get along with your class discussions.

Teacher:  It is not like I called you here to present your arguments.  It is very clear that you all have issues that need to be resolved.  Just head to the next class these discussions should be done later.  Please be ready to answer to the principal the rationale behind missing classes.  This is beyond my control now.

All:  Okay madam, we should be going now. Thank you a lot.

Rose: Ooh! Really, I do not understand what you mean and why so stated that.

Teacher:  I do not have to make any explanation for now. That is an adequate task for you to find out.  For now just gather your belongings, get from the seats and join me for a long tour around this campus.

(They all head out doubtful without comprehending the intention of the teacher)

(Audrey speaks after walking for a while without a conversation)

Rose: What is the association between signal and strength?

Maureen: I guess the teacher will explain that

Emma: Yes just wait he will explain

Shirley: but how does the statement connects with us studying in the library?  This is strange I cannot connect.

(The teacher remains silent as they got into the school ground she stands and takes a stare of the four girls who are particular scared)

Teacher:  The environment is decorated well. Isn’t it?

Rose: not really! All I can see are litter everywhere.

Teacher: This is the beauty of where you exert most of your pressure and efforts.  It is evident.

Maureen:  We are not part of this Madam this must be a mistake.

Teacher:  (nods her head in a doubtful manner). There is a ball lying on the ground over there.  Emma does you mind getting it for me.

(Emma does not respond but instead, she gets the ball and hands it to the teacher)

Teacher:  No just roll the ball on the pavement.

(As the ball rolls they all stare without understanding all that is happening)

Teacher: How much force have you utilized Emma?

Emma:  Not much it did not necessitate much effort just a roll.

Shirley:  What does this have to do with us?  The offenses that you stated are not any closer to all this.

Maureen:  Yes this is not relevant.

            Scene Four: At the Car Park

(They all walk heading to the car park following the teacher who is not even responding to their claims)

Teacher:  You can see that the park is only characterized by a few cars today.  There is not strength here because students present less studying efforts.

Maureen: You are now blaming us for the general mistakes of others?

Rose: Our problem was failing the test. We accept that and we have agreed to do our best and this will not happen again.

Teacher:  You stated me as the issue for missing classes. What your faults?  Are you all clean?

Shirley:  We cannot answer that but we shall correct the situation.

Emma: Please madam explains the whole thing as this is confusing. Is there something else that you are not telling us?

Teacher:  There is nothing to explain.  It is very clear that you put less pressure in studies which results in lesser grades.  In reference to other activities, you guys are well established as the most energetic individuals. Still blaming me?

Rose:  We can word on balancing everything that we do to make this work. Trust our words.

Shirley & Maureen: Madam! You are not to blame for anything just forgives us on this one.

            Scene Six: Heading Home

Shirley:  Today was a very bad but an interesting day as well!

Rose: The world almost swallowed us all!

(All laughing)

Maureen:  That is very right! From everything that happened I learned a lot.

Emma: I can now tell that every little thing that we do is essential in showing the existing relationship that exists amid pressure and signals.

Shirley:  I learned that pressure is just a word that is fancy for exerting commitment in something.

Rose: It is clear that effort is crucial as it determines the motion and the success of most things in life generally.

Shirley:  The previous classes for the particular teacher never interested me at all, but from now I believe that this will make the whole difference for me.

Emma:  Studying and life require a force of magnetism to try and attract priorities towards success.

Rose:  That is so true Emma is so grateful to Madam Louise

Maureen and Shirley:  Yes we should all be thankful to her for the lesson.

Emma: The lesson was taught in a hard way but I appreciate it, however.

Shirley:  By the way you have to allow me now I must leave. I am meeting someone in the next hour.

Maureen: Let us catch up tomorrow guys!

Rose: Goodbye to you all!
