The different advice the Mother gave to each of her sons were as follows: to Gros jean was to “Praise God, ask for directions from the bird and the insects, to imitate them.

Also, she told him that the devil can appear in many features, he should have patience, along with strength and that there is always something greater than him if not man or animal, its God or demons.” To Mi jean she told him that no one could know what the devil wears. To Ti jean she did not really gave him advice, but because he was sincere to the creatures, they gave him advice. Therefore, Mother only warned one of her sons in the story.
10). What is the attitude of Gros jean and Mi-Jean to the creatures? How does their attitude differ from Ti- Jean’s? What consequences does each of the brothers suffer or enjoy as a result of his treatment of the creatures?

    Jean Kilbourne\

    Mass media plays a great part in our lives. Television, newspapers, magazines surround us everywhere every day of our lives. All of them are stuck with different kinds of ads. But how often do we pay attention to the real sense of those ads and the ways the advertisers try to sell various products to us? We see dissoluteness and challenging behavior every day in life and we got so used to it in, at first sight, such small pieces of film, and apparently of our day routine, as advertisement, that we hardly notice the big picture. For over twenty years, Jean Kilbourne has been writing, lecturing, and making films about how advertising affects women and girls. In her essay, "‘The Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt': Advertising and Violence", Kilbourne looks very deep into the connection between abuse and ads. She develops a theory in which she emphasizes dehumanizing women in ads, and shows us what terrible things sometimes can be concealed behind a simple and funny ad, and what consequences it can lead to in the end. As for me, I strongly agree with Kilbourne, and I am convinced, that harmless at first sight, advertisements sometimes turn out to be damaging, violent and insulting, especially with regard to the weak, such as women.…

    Frankenstein And Grendel Comparison Essay

    Both were clueless of the world around them and, after going through difficult situations, changed into the monsters people treated them as. These two creatures were curious of the world and all they wanted was to feel accepted by society. Society is the driving factor in these two books. Society looked at these two creatures as monsters just because of their appearances and their judgement and criticism drove these creatures to their edge. They were attacked, abused, and neglected by every individual they came in contact with. Their whole mentality changed because of this and their isolation. They became frustrated about their situations and took it out on the people that harmed them. Both could have accomplished many things in life, and could have lived in society if people did not mistreat…

    Meursault: An Absurd Hero

    Meursault is sentenced to death by guillotine. He awaits everyday waiting for the footsteps of the men to come and execute him. During this time Meursault has done much thinking and begins to think to himself that death is inevitable. This realization of death’s inevitability constitutes Meursault’s triumph over society. Expressing remorse over his crime would implicitly acknowledge the murder as wrong, and Meursault’s punishment as justified. The chaplain tries to come to him and speak to him about God, but he still is unwillingly to accept that there is a God.…

    Scottie Rides: A Narrative Fiction

    “Ugh!”, he grunts from how large the suitcase is. “Will you be able to carry that, Scottie?” she says, her face, worn from time, twists with concern for her son. “Of course”, he laughs. “Okay, if you’re sure.” She says as she opens the metal gate to the front yard. They slowly walk through the cracked pathway until they reach the steps to the porch. Beatrice opens the sturdy door with her keys. “Honey, I’m home!” Scottie yells into the empty living room. “Must you do that every time you come inside the house?” She says fondly. “Of course, I must.” He says as if she should already have known the answer. While they were talking, Alice and Jake, Scottie’s younger siblings, heard his announcement and excitedly ran out of their room and down the beige stairs. “Stop making all that racket!” she admonishes her children. “SCOTTIE!” they yell out enthusiastically. “You’re home!” Alice states, full of wonder that her big older brother is finally back where he belongs. “Well, it’s obvious that I’m home unless I’m an imposer who’s secretly an alien”, He jokes, winking at Alice. “I definitely didn’t miss your humor,” Jake lightheartedly says. “Oh, come on, I tell the best jokes”, Scottie says smiling. “Yeah right, in your dreams”, Jake jokingly teases. “Leave your brother alone for right now. He had a long trip and he’s probably exhausted.” Beatrice gently tells to her…

    Summary Of Where Are You Going Where Have You Been

    The 60's are not without reason called “Golden Sixties”. It was not only a time of relative peace and economic growth, but also a phase of rebellion in the youth, which questioned the way of life and beliefs of their parents. It was a time filled with music, miniskirts, sexual freedom and drugs. At that time, Joyce Carol Oates created her works, in which she talked about ordinary everyday affairs, giving them a specific dark climate fueled by the second bottom. A short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been" was written in such climate.…

    Examples Of Power In Frankenstein

    From his birth, the creation wishes to find companionship. While searching for food in the forest, he comes upon a village, the people inside either fear, attack, or throw stones at him. This reaction happening very early in the creature’s life shaped his perceptions of humans throughout the novel. He fears interacting with humans, yet yearns for their company. The humans have a power over him and his actions around them. Another instance of the power when the creature attempts to connect with DeLacey, knowing that since he is blind he will not react in fear or prejudice, while the conversation starts off friendly, when the rest of the family come home and see the creature Agatha faints, Safie runs out of the cottage, and Felix attacks him. This breaks the creature’s heart because the idealized expectations he had of the family crumbled the moment they saw him when he had dreamed that they would be the ones to finally accept him. This rejection spurs his revenge on…

    Gene and Eugene Jerome Morrow

    What we make of our own potential is entirely up to us as humans. Somebody else cannot determine that for us. The world of Gattaca is where genetic engineering becomes normal and natural births are considered abnormal. People’s resume becomes their genes, which creates an unfair advantages to those with superior genes to others, which means they have almost no defects such as vision impairment, hearing impairment and no general health problems. Those people are labelled valids and those with defects such as vision, hearing or general health impairment are labelled in-valid. We see this through the protagonist Vincent Anton Freeman, Eugene Jerome Morrow and Irene Cassini. Each of them has a different genetic make up which effects, in the world of Gattaca what they can achieve. The idea of perfection in Gattaca shows social discrimination against those who do not meet specific standards set in Gattaca. No matter what genes we have are made up of it should not hide the fact that many people can exceed their potential and become greater and achieve their dreams more than those who practically handed perfection.…

    tim obrien the things they carried

    When I first started reading Tim O’Brien’s the things they carried his depth of description entertained me. After reading each paragraph I was able to visualize what I had read. I could see each soldier loaded down with all the necessities they felt they needed. I was introduced to each soldier by the things they carried with them, from village to village across Vietnam, during the war. Some of the items seemed frivolous, such as scarves and comic books, but I could see how it helped them cope with the situation that they were in.…
