Taming - the Little Prince
Taming is mutual relationship. To tame, you must let yourself be tamed. The Little Prince tamed the rose, whilst the rose tamed The Little Prince. When you tame someone or something you start to care for and understand the person your taming. You feel responsible for them and their feelings. Since their "yours" you want to take care of them. The Little Prince felt responsible for the roses well being once he was gone. He loved her and wanted her to be safe and happy, but without The Little Prince she was sad and in danger. There was no way for The Little Prince to know how she was doing. A very similar thing happened with The Little Prince and the narrator. The Little Prince was more tamed by the rose than he was by the narrator. He already felt an obligation to the rose; therefore it was harder for him to be tamed. He felt the rose needed him, and his attraction to the rose was stronger, therefore he left the narrator to go see is rose. Most of the time, people get tamed by accident. The Little Prince tamed the narrator by accident. The Little Prince didn't want to tame or be tamed. He wanted to take care of his planet, his rose, his baobab trees ect. But because he intervened in the narrators life, shared secrets and wisdom unseen by the narrator before, because he charmed his way into the narrators heart, The Little Prince will never be

    The Lion's Bride - Gwen Harwood

    Gwen Harwood’s work frequently focuses on woman being demoralised by society’s practices that reduce her to a lesser being. A common worldwide value that Harwood rejects as the normality in life with her poems. Harwood battles against the traditions that she believes support this downgrading by continually returning to the issue. Due to Harwood’s existence in a time where women of Australia still fought to vote and for a pay check to match a man’s, Harwood too displays her support. “The Lions Bride” is centred on the subject of marriage and entails the ugliness of the situations that are specific to women. This remains relevant to the modern world because of the ongoing struggle for equality. By using a wedding as a platform to highlight societies imposed traditions on females she seeks to shock the conventional expectations by demonising the widely romantisied event. Harwood extends this and questions treatment of women in the world before any vows are made.…

    The Scarecrow By Chiposton

    The Dangers of Mass-Production in “The Scarecrow” Technology advancements have made the production of goods easier as illustrated in the Chipotle advertisement “The Scarecrow.” The ability to mass-produce items quickly does not however mean that these goods are of a high quality. In “The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility,” Walter Benjamin presents the idea that mass-producing artwork reduces aesthetic autonomy. In a society that can reprint and recreate original works of art quickly, “the whole sphere of authenticity” (1053) embedded within each piece of art is lost.…

    *If Rose's father was the narrator then we, the readers would know why he left Rose and how he felt when Rain was lost. We would see the book from his point of view.

    The Prince’s virtue can be somewhat selfish and it does not work out in the beginning. This story shows the many trials and errors that a leader and go through. At the end of the day, this story showed me that if a leader or a ruler wants to get anything done, he must first have the unity of his people. The power of solidarity here will help the Prince accomplish what he wants to accomplish. It will help him and his dynasty be feared by their unification.…

    Is Scheurl's Argument Of Nature Or Nurture?

    The Domostroi is a Russian manual on household management that was created in Moscow in the 1550’s. In the manual it said “a man who loves his son will whip them so often that when he grows up he may be a joy to him.” This technique was used in the idea that scolding as a child, would make them more obedient in the future. The hope was that the “he who discipline[d] [would] find profit in him.” The idea that a child is born as a good person was not present. Instead there is more of the belief that whipping is needed to create the desired person. The information in this manual is trustworthy information because publishing in the 1550’s was monitored. King Henry IV of France also agreed with the idea of whipping a child as punishment. He told the governess to “whip [his son] every time…he [was] obstinate or misbehave[d].” He claimed to have “profited” when he “was often whipped.” As a child King Henry IV was also whipped, which explains his support for the technique. The punishment was evidently enough to influence him into remembering his wrongdoing. The purpose of him repeating this technique was to turn his son into an obedient child. King Henry IV’s letter to his governess is a valuable resource because he was dictating the way he wanted his child to be raised. William Blundell’s “An Exercise for the Children to Embolden Them in Speaking” is a dialog in which an angry father is telling…

    The narrator’s way of suffering is one where he slowly digests his grief and pain and lets it dwell inside him. Even though he wants to let it go, he simply cannot let himself do so because he is not accustomed to show others his suffering. Although there is no direct reason why the narrator is so locked up inside himself, it may have to do with that fact that he is the oldest child in his family and he had to learn to be independent early on. Not only did the narrator have to look out for himself, he also had the responsibility of looking out for his brother. An example of this can be seen when his…

    Taming of the Shrew

    In “The Taming of the Shrew most of the characters were changed in some sort of of way, which makes transformation one of the most pronounced themes of the story. One of the most dynamic characters in the play is Katherine. Katherine is a shrew of a woman who has the attitude of a rattle snake and is not afraid to use violence when she feels it is necessary, which is evident in this quote. "Why, no, for she hath broke the lute to me. I did but tell her she mistook her frets, and bowed her hand to teach her fingering, When, with a most impatient devilish spirit" (2.1.141-144) Not only does this quote show that Katherine has a bad temper (because she broke a lute on Petrucio), but also that she is unwilling to change her ways. Although the feat of “taming” Katherine is a daunting task, Petrucio decides that he is the one fit for the job. Petrucio seems to be the perfect suitor for Katherine in the beginning of the play: he is kind, patient, and “wealthy” in a sense. But all of these characteristics become twisted when he is married to Katherine. He decides that the only way to tame her is through harsh punishments with rewards, like the way you tame a hawk. An example of this behavior is evident in this quote, “she eats no meat today, nor none shall eat. last night she slept not, nor tonight she shall not( IV,1,195-196)”. Although he succeeded on his quest to tame the shrew Petrucio changes from a love seeking bachelor into a cruel husband over the course of the play. In addition to transformation, another theme of Taming of the Shrew is social status. The only suitors that Baptista would even…

    The Taming of the Shrew examines the "natural" order amongst the sexes, as understood by the English of the late sixteenth century. It explores the traditional role of the dutiful daughter and dutiful wife. At a time it was written, Queen Elizabeth proved that a woman could reign strongly and effectively. However, worried that Queen Elizabeth might provide a role model for women, and seeking to assure themselves that some aspects of their lives remained unchanged, men moved decisively to affirm their "rightful" place as master of their home domain. By which Petruchio "tames" Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew were so mild by the Elizabeth standards as to be considered comedic to audiences of the day.…

    Discipline Vs Child Abuse

    How far is too far? Some people believe that child abuse is an acceptable form of discipline, however I do not. There is a fine line between discipline and child abuse. What is discipline? Discipline is “the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience.” (https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&source=hp&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=2#hl=en&gbv=2&q=discipline). What is abuse? Abuse is “to treat a person or animal with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly.” (https://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&source=hp&btnG=Google+Search&gbv=2#hl=en&gbv=2&q=abuse+definition)…
