The Friendly Matter Of Violence Analysis
Even though Will tries to show off how he’s superior than others through revenge, he also displays another form of violence by doing it in a “friendly matter.” The friendly matter of violence is being shown when Will is play fighting and verbally teasing them. One of the acts were in the batting cages with Chucky. Will and Chucky are chatting amongst themselves. Once it started to get emotional, Will ended up throwing a baseball at Chucky. Since, showing affection is considered “strange” to them, so the only acceptable manner that they could do to show affection is by “play fighting”. Another, “friendly matter” of violence that Will displayed was to verbally teasing someone. Morgan was one of the people that Will “jokingly teased” to. A scene

    This makes me insinuate that he is clever to choose his battles to ensure that he will win. Moreover this in itself tells me that Curley isn’t as tough as he makes out and makes me think that he uses his fights as an excuse to emphasise his masculinity just to exert this fear among his peers and be seen as this dominant alpha male. But he himself is just insecure and really he wants to be like slim; this is evident from his encounter with slim later in the story when he is…

    Glymph does not view violence as an exception to slaveholding women’s conduct. She instead argues that “physical punishment seems to have occurred much more frequently between mistresses and slaves than between masters and slaves.” White slaveholding women used violence as a way to get black enslaved women to produce labor. Rather than engaging in proslavery ideals of paternalistic unity, Glymph asserts that “a kind of warring intimacy characterized many of the conflicts between mistresses and slave women in the household.” The stresses of the Civil War focused on Confederate women’s “status as slaveholder not simply on their predicament as helpless females,” and slaves’ “resistance to white women derived from a hatred of their position as…

    Aggression is the feeling of anger and hatred that may result in threatening or violent behavior. It is also a physical or emotional expression of the feelings of dissatisfaction arising out of the comparison between what people presently have and what they believe they should have, what they ought to have or what they believe is ideal. The theories of aggression assert that aggression is the inevitable result of frustration or conflict, they affirm that aggression results out of an innate instinct flowing towards destructive tendencies and maintain that aggression arises out of social dysfunction. According to Dollard (1939) the frustration-aggression theory of aggression asserts that aggression is always an inevitable result of frustration.…

    The great writer George Orwell once stated, “Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not."

The novels of John Knowles reflect his personal background and frequently explore the time period in which he lived through WWII. Throughout his life he reflected on his childhood, nurtured his love and ability of writing, and was rewarded for his great works in literature.…

    Communities of Violence

    In David Nirenberg’s narrative monograph, Communities of Violence: Persecution of Minorities in the Middle Ages Nirenberg examines the meaning and function of violence in fourteenth century southern France and in the Crown of Aragon. Nirenberg’s thesis is that violence towards minorities (Jews, Muslims, and lepers) was neither irrational nor a result of intolerance, instead violence towards minorities was contextual and part of the everyday function of society. Nirenberg argues that there is a difference between “systematic violence” and its function and “cataclysmic violence.” Nirenberg focuses on how those of the time maintained a society by using everyday violence to enforce boundaries and propel negotiations among minorities. Nirenberg not only discusses violence in the literal sense but also as “judicial and accusational violence.” He also argues that there was a “strategic value” in violence that the monarchy employed to fill their coffers, that the majority used to resist the monarchy, and that minorities used to gain power against other minority groups.…

    Peace only comes at the price of great struggle and sacrifice for most people. In essence, it only comes when you have defeated the enemy, or the enemy has defeated you. John Knowles was able to capture the subtle goal and essence of his novel by titling it A Separate Peace. A Separate Peace is a story about Gene Forrester, the protagonist of the story, and his constant struggle with the underlying emotional conflicts present in him. He has to fight a war within his own mind that every man has to fight for himself. His battles eventually uproot underlying emotions—emotions of jealousy, envy, and subdued hatred—that he feels for people that he had undying loyalty for, and an equally strong trust. These emotions then set off a series of events that change his life forever, and he has to fight more for peace amidst a world of chaos. He experiences new feelings— fear, frustration, pity, and undeniable guilt. From his experiences in his last year of school at Devon, he emerges with greater strength, greater understanding, maturity, and he finds the separate peace that every man longs for.…

    Non Violence

    The problem with the use of violent confrontation strategies is that they quickly escalate to the point where the parties only concerns are victory and self-defense. In these cases, the moral arguments of people who are being unjustly treated become irrelevant. What matters is that they have used violent strategies and their opponent is, therefore, justified in a violent response. This problem is complicated by the fact that both sides are usually able to argue that the other side started the violence. Gandhi started this nonviolent approach in India, Martin Luther King learned from Gandhi’s tactics and used them in the 1950’s, and in 1989 the students in Tiananmen Square used the same approach. All of these people had success to some extent.…
