Literary Analysis Research Paper
Is there a major distinction between how the working class and upper class view each other? Through Disney’s eyes, there is. Disney highlights these views with their rendition of the classic fairytale, Beauty and the Beast. Beauty and the Beast is a story of how a beautiful young girl breaks a curse cast upon a prince and his servants by teaching the prince about kindness and compassion. Beyond teaching a moral lesson to children, “the curse also serves as a mechanism for the reinforcement of class structure and thereby the struggle of laborers in the world they inhabit: the base and the superstructure.” (Weiss) This curse turns the prince into a beastly

    Good evening, David, James, and Abdullah and the rest of you here, how are you? I am here tonight to announce my candidacy for the presidency and I would start off by expressing my gratitude for your support because let's face it, I wouldn’t be here without you and to be honest, I wasn't even going to run for the presidency but I live by a certain creed, one that runs in my blood and this being that you should never accept the world as it appears to be, always dare to see it for what it could be. But is natural for us to accept the illusions of hope. We opt to shut our eyes from the painful truth.

  • Rhetorical Analysis: Genre

    503 Words  | 3 Pages

    Genre Throughout the different texts we analyzed in the first half of the quarter, we looked at the various genres of the texts in order to see how they affect rhetoric. Genres are important to rhetoric because they raise and manage expectations the audience might have for a specific work. This is because people have internalized the generic conventions of a genre. We delved into these conventions by analyzing different genres of texts such as Pitbull’s music video, film, various poems, and speeches. An example of how we analyzed a genre is how we annotated Horace’s poem about carpe diem.

    Even though there may be compelling evidence that may lead a reader to think that color imagery is the best technique used by both authors to show dehumanization, a closer examination of the text reveals that there is more evidence supporting the fact that characterization of the social classes is, in fact, the best technique used. The fact that the a recurring topic within both The Grapes of Wrath and The Great Gatsby is about the characterization of the social classes. The characterization of the classes is more relevant to discuss in today’s society. Dehumanization is one of the results of the characterization of the social classes because members of one social class characterize members of the other sometimes in negative ways that causes a picture of a member in the opposite class as something less than human and easier to clash with. The Joad’s neighbor, Muley Graves, had a picture in his mind of the wealthy and he described them as a monster who could not be stopped.

  • Gentillesse In The Franklin's Tale

    1449 Words  | 6 Pages

    Gentillesse, the the capacity for a being to act compassionately and graciously, was seen as a characteristic of the noble class (Brown 175). In fact, gentillesse was a concept based on both “wealth and social distinction” as well as “character and behavior,” and these two parts were thought to be almost impossible to separate (Carruthers 286). Being an aristocrat was, therefore, a necessary condition for gentillesse; those at the cusp of nobility were not thought to have this characteristic as they were not at the top of the social hierarchy.

In the “Franklin’s Tale,” the Franklin constructs parallel
