Analysis: The Gray Lady Gets
In The Gray Lady Gets Jiggy Ben Yagoda analyzes the word bullshit and how it is, by no doubt, fit to print. There is an importance behind being able to say the word bullshit without censorship, for if one is able to say it they will be able to point it out when bullshit is happening. Bullshit essentially can be defined as something that is untrue. Most commonly someone exclaims bullshit when they are calling someone else out on something that they believe to be false, or a lie. Additionally, it can also be used as a tool to get one’s point across. If one was told that what they are saying is bullshit, they will be more likely to rethink what they just stated and validity behind their statement. The article always analyzes synonymes to the

    The Black Grandma In The Closet: A Film Analysis

    In the first weeks of class we discussed how in the telling of history, there is always more than one “historical truth” and in these “truths” history has been edited to benefit different agendas. Because history can be easily manipulated, the lecture stressed how significant these revisions can be in the formation of master narratives. However, we reviewed how through recovery projects, counter-narratives have started to refute these previously “truths.” In these contested recollections we acknowledged at times this new information can be hard to emotionally process. This brings me to the topic of slavery. Up until a few months ago, slavery never crossed my mind as anything other than a horrible and dark chapter in both Northern American and European history. I understood that…

    Analyzing Frank Ambler's Essay 'On Bullshit'

    With the upcoming presidential elections, citizens of the Unites States will soon be asked to vote. It can be quite challenging to be completely educated on all subject matter that the candidates use to promote their campaigns. So when your distant family member asks for opinion about a subject at the dinner table and you don’t really know anything about that particular subject, what do you say? You could say you don’t know anything and look uneducated in front of the rest of your family. Or you could bullshit it, just like you did in your English class for the essays, and seem like you know what you’re talking about in front of the rest of the family. But what really is bullshit and is it a good thing to use?…

    The Gray Zone and the Survivor: Summary

    In the chapter, the gray zone, the author Primo Levi describes the human relationships inside the Lager. In describing the gray zone, Levi discusses the different roles of prisoners assigned by the Nazi. The prisoners that did the work were seen as being more privileged which at the end of the day helped them get more food and live better. Therefore, the concept of the gray zone is analyzing the difference between the privileged and the non-privileged in the Lager. The difference can be seen by the tasks that the prisoners carried out, for example, one of the groups were seen as, “Low ranking functionaries... sweepers, kettle washers, night watchmen, bed smoothers... checkers of lice and scabies, messengers, interpreters, assistants’ assistants. In general, these people poor devils like ourselves, who worked full time like everyone else but who for an extra half liter of soup were willing to carry out these and other ‘tertiary’ functions.” This group was seen as harmless and not much different than the underprivileged. The other group of prisoners in the Lager was seen as the enemies to their own people. They were referred to as the Kapos who were “free to commit the worst atrocities on their subject as punishment for any transgressions, or even without any motive whatsoever: until the end of 1943 it was not unusual for a prisoner to be beaten to death by a Kapo without the latter having to fear any sanctions.” The prisoners that became part of the Kapo were seen as permanent. They were not accepted back by their people if they were willing to give up their privileges and take their place again. This led to a prisoners feeling isolated and rejected. Perhaps the prisoners got themselves into these roles due to peer pressure or were forced into it by the Nazi. However, Levi still states that we should not judge them as anyone would’ve done the same thing in that time of need. Survival was the key issue which led prisoners to…

    Gray's Elegy

    The themes dealt in the Elegy are familiar, and there is nothing original in them. According to Douglas Bush "theElegy is a mosaic of traditional motifs, classical and modern." The dominant theme of the poem is death. It deals with the death of the rude fore fathers of the village, death as a common occurence in the world and the anticipated death of the youth who may be the poet himself or the his friend West in whose memory the poem has been written. In fact the shadow of death hovers over the poem. The opening line itself, with the curfew tolling 'the knell of the parting day' is indicative of death.…

    The Lady and the Tiger Reading Response

    This story leaves the reader filled with curiosity. The author doesn’t make the conclusion, or ending, very clear, and instead, leaves the reader to decide how they perceive, or want the story to end. “And so I leave it with all of you! Which came out of the opened door-the lady, or the tiger?”(page ) If I had to make a prediction to guess the result, I would think it was the tiger that came out by the clues/hints throughout the storyline. The ruler of the village has a very interesting way of punishing criminals, and people from the town can even choose to watch- if they are brave enough to watch a horrendous scene or watch a hilarious event that is unexpected to happen, unless they may already know what will happen-of course. The king’s lover stood in the audience knowing which was behind the two doors. She also knew who the lady was-the most fairest and loveliest of the damsels of who could have been selected as the reward of the accused youth, and she hated this lady. So the most probable or reasonable outcome would be that she wanted him to suffer rather than for him to marry and fall in love with a women whom she despised. I still wonder why the author made the ending the way it was. I think this story shows how your actions could possibly cost you your life. After reading this story, I will always think carefully about what I do- what is right and what is wrong. Although this story is described as in a semi-barbaric village, it still shows a very meaningful message. I really enjoyed this story and it can really teach someone an important lesson to make their decisions in life wisely.…
