The Peach Tree By Jhon Singleton
Fathers and daughters have a special bond. She is always daddy's little girl. The story by Jhon Singleton "The Peach Tree", is a great depiction of subordinate-superior relationships, according to the Foulcaultion Theory. The story explores the relationships between step-mother and step-daughter, husband and wife, and father-daughter. According to Foulcault, every individual is either subordinate or superior in a relationship, with the subordinate doing whatever they can please the superior. With the false idea that this will provide the subordinate happiness, whereas the superiorC is motivated by gaining and maintaining power, often presenting bully behavior. The main point of the Foulcation Theory is the emphasis on the subordinate and how

    Carmen, the title of the assigned music video, chronicles the life of a man who is essentially enslaved to his Twitter account. Throughout the video, the man is seen to progressively get more and more addicted to the upkeep of his social media. Consequently, the viewer watches the man miss out on enjoyable live moments, movies and his birthday parties, and withdraw from human interaction-- eating meals alone and ruining romantic relationships. This commentary is similar to concepts Dyer introduces in From the Garden and the City. For instance, Dyer reminds his readers that only true joy is found in Christ, and the joy obtained from social media is fleeting. In the music video, the man posts about his fun activities in life, which make him appear…

    The play "A Raisin In The Sun", by Lorraine Hansberry is a perfect embodiment of the Langston Hughes' poem "A Raisin In the Sun" because each of the characters experiences the reality of their dreams being too big to achieve in a country dominated by the white Americans. One of the earliest and most obvious examples of this is Walter Younger, who feels misunderstood throughout most of the play. For Walter, everything has always been about money and he believes that wealth is the solution to everything. His dream was to invest the ten thousand dollars, that was left for his mother from his late father, into an alcohol business with a man named Willy. Throughout the play, no one listens to his dream of investing or makes an effort to understand where he's coming from. When he finds out that his mother spent the money on her dream of buying a house, he explodes on everyone and spends the next three days drinking. Eventually his mother pity's him and decides to let him be the man of the house now by leaving him in charge of all of the money that she had left, including Beneatha's college funds. Walter spends all of the money on the investment - only to have it be stolen by Willy. As a result, Walter grows as a person because, though he is moneyless on account of his mistake, he stands up to the white man who tried to pay them not to move into their new home - located in an all-white neighborhood. Thus, based off of Langston Hughes' poem, when one asks the question "what happens to a dream deferred?", the answer that I drew from this play is that a dream deferred will make the targeted individual stronger - just like Walter. This same answer can be found in Beneatha's case because she lost all of her college funds due to Walter's poor investment; as a result, she…

    Managers and subordinates both have a very distinct relationship. As described in the article Who’s Got the Monkey by William Oncken, Jr., & Donald L. Wass, “the monkey” is the ultimate exchange between the manager and his or her team members. The monkey is most certainly the time, work effort, ethic, pressure, and most importantly, the responsibility that a manager and an employee exchanges throughout their time spent together. I personally view the “monkey” metaphorically as the big kahuna! Shifting the monkey between the two relevant parties is a task like no other because, the monkey is, essentially, the relationship between an employee and their boss; it is a valuable form of communication.…

    “I Have a Dream,” says Martin Luther King Jr. in front of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963. This is the day when people listen and understand the horrors of segregation and attempt to end it. In Lorraine Hansberry’s play, “A Raisin in the Sun,” the Younger family is going through the daily trauma of being an African American family during the 1940s to 1950s. The family of five live in a cramped apartment in Southside Chicago and they wait for the $10,000 check from the health insurance to arrive. As time goes by, the family focuses on the money instead of committing to their dreams, and those dreams ultimately become deferred dreams. The effects of deferred dreams on the Younger family include; miscommunication, and under appreciation.…
