    I’m Going! a Comedy in One Act

    Literature can be expressive. It can be expressed in many different ways. Some use writing, some use pictures and print, or even dramatic and musical works of art. In this essay I will be using the Reader-Response Approach to analyze a piece of literature. I have chosen the short play I’m Going! A Comedy in One Act, by dramatist Tristan Bernard.

    History

    With the planned symmetry of the number eleven, the Great War, as it was then called, came to an end on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. The conclusion of World War One marks, quite logically, one 'bookend' for both Canadian and world history. Two very different decades would follow. "The Roaring Twenties" were marked by unprecedented but unequally distributed prosperity. "The Dirty Thirties" witnessed untold suffering and hardship as the Great Depression left millions unemployed, destitute, and hungry. Then on September 1, 1939, the other 'bookend' would appeared, with the Nazi blitzkrieg of Poland, and the outbreak of World War Two.…

    The decision to drop the A-bomb was chosen for several reasons, first and foremost to end the war against Japan. This strategy was decided upon because Japan's war-fighting industries were highly concentrated in metropolitan areas, but weren't zoned away from residential areas, and those cities had a high proportion of flammable materials. Operation Downfall was the original plan which caused for a massive invasion of Japan by mostly US forces. The casualty estimates were between 1-3 million. This was unacceptable and of the 100 million people living in Japan, about 90-95 million would be a casualty due to the insanity of the peoples devotion to the Emporer. What came about in the Trinity Project was a way to end the way in the quickest possible way. But it was not only to end the war, another reason is elieved to have been to intimidate the Soviets so that they would vacate eastern Europe (which they didnt do). The US actions were justified and believe it or not, taken literally not a single civilian was killed in the bombings. Japan had declared that if the US invaded Japan they would face an army of 100 million which automatically drafted all of their citizens into their military. Now they were obviously mostly innocent people but you have break eggs to make omlets. A couple hundred thousand people died as a result of the bomb and radiation but again the estimates for the invasion were even worse. The dropping of the Atomic bomb, cruel as it may have been, was absolutely necessary.…

    Chapter 11, “Robber Barons and Rebels” details events occurring in 1877 and beyond. During this time, labor was rewarded depending on race, sex, nationality, and social class. Steam and electricity replaced jobs and increased efficiency. New inventions, such as manufactured ice, the telephone, and the adding machine, allowed the meat industry and other companies to become feasible. The railroads became a big industry of the time, and bribed many officials. The monopolization of industries raised many wealthy business people. Such as, J. P Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and Andrew Carnegie. The oil company under Rockefeller flourished.…

    Orestes Brownson a philosopher, minister, and journalist from the 1840s compared the slave labor system with the wage labor system in Orestes Brownson Condemns “Wage Slavery,” 1840. Despite the fact Branson states that he does not advocate slavery and considers himself a modern abolitionist, Brownson says that if given the chance to choose between slave labor and waged labor, slave labor would be the one he recommends. “We regard the system as decidedly preferable to the system at wages.” (Orestes Brownson Condemns “Wage Slavery,” 1840) He defends his argument by saying the slave that was never free suffers less than someone who works for a living. “The laborer at wages has all the disadvantages of freedom and none of its blessings, while the slave, if denied the blessings, is freed from the disadvantages.” (Orestes Brownson Condemns “Wage Slavery,” 1840) This simply explains the fact that the waged worker may be ‘free’ but are faced with disadvantages that slaves don’t necessarily have to worry about. Some examples would be that the slaves are given food, lodging, and even the rations given may not have been much the slaves were better off than the waged worker who had to supply his family with a place to sleep, something to eat, and clothes to wear, things that were not promised because they may or may not have been able to afford it depending on their pay. A key difference to note (as mentioned before) is that the waged worker may not make enough money to be able to properly provide for his family with his current wage assuming he has a job, while a slave is supplied with these things by their masters.…

    When looking at today’s society, one must wonder if our society and politics are similar to another time point in the United States history. Between 1865 and the 1920’s, two extremely important time periods occurred in the United States of America. The Gilded Age and the Progressive Era vastly impacted the United States as well as influenced politics and culture still around today. However, one of these time periods was more influential than the other.…
