  • Farook's Argumentative Essay

    572 Words  | 3 Pages

    Syed Rizwan Farook -- who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, carried out the San Bernardino shooting massacre -- apparently was radicalized and in touch with people being investigated by the FBI for international terrorism, law enforcement officials said Thursday. Farook 's apparent radicalization contributed to his role in the mass shooting of 14 people Wednesday during a holiday party for the San Bernardino County health department, where Farook worked, sources said. Still, it wasn 't necessarily the only driver behind the carnage, as workplace grievances may have also played a role. President Barack Obama hinted as much Thursday when he said that the attackers may have had "mixed motives." David Bowditch, assistant director in charge of the FBI 's Los Angeles office, told reporters Thursday that

  • Analysis Of Interpreter Of Maladies By Jhumpa Lahiri

    874 Words  | 4 Pages

    Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies is filled with comparisons and various motifs that could instigate the interests of the reader. The diversity of the mother-child relation shown in the symbolic portrayals of motherhood that Lahiri seems to grant more than the most basic critique is admittedly one of the more curious ones. Lahiri does not seem to prefer or priviledge any of the representations, be it American or Indian, but she certainly creates a clear image that the two characters, Mrs. Das and Mrs. Kapasi, make as mothers. There is less detail about Mrs. Kapasi and her realtions with her children, but the first time that Lahiri mentions her, she is shown as a caring mother whose son died. Lahiri writes that “in the end the boy had

  • Chris Mccandless A Transcendentalist Analysis

    663 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the short story, “Death of an Innocent” by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless travels into the Alaskan wilderness with the intention of relying completely on himself. In the true spirit of transcendentalism, McCandless travels to escape the bounds of society and to remove himself from a materialistic world. Many argue, however, that Chris McCandless was not a transcendentalist because he travels to exotic lands as a means of avoidance, but actually, Chris McCandless is the epitome of a transcendentalist. Transcendentalists, however, rely on themselves and nature to survive and do not depend on material items. Transcendentalists romanticize individualism and believe that intuition is the best guide through life.

    For example, in her analysis of Isak Dinesen’s “The Blank Page” Susan Gubar adopts the metaphor of “the blank page” to stress how women’s history silenced by the patriarchy can be subversive. “The Blank Page” is narrated on a wedding night where the stained sheets of princesses are displayed with their names to prove their virginity. Among these stained sheets is a plain white sheet with a nameless plate. “Dinesen’s blank page,” writes Gubar, “becomes radically subversive, the result of one woman’s deficiency which must have cost either her life or her honor [is] Not a sign of innocence or purity or passivity, this blank page is a mysterious but potent act of resistance” (89). The blank page shows the silence of women but it proves female resistance

  • Morality In The White Tiger

    1674 Words  | 7 Pages

    Standards of morality are often complex as morality is determined by different social aspects. In The White Tiger written by Aravind Adiga, it’s difficult to judge whether the protagonist Balram’s murder of his master, Mr. Ashok, is either completely moral or immoral, because there are so many circumstances surrounding Balram’s actions. Sacrificing his family’s lives and renouncing all the things that Mr. Ashok has done for him, Balram’s murder of his employer would be considered immoral according to social standard. However, from Balram’s perspective, the murder is necessary and moral since he greatly longs to be “a man” and uses the money that he steals from his master for good purposes. Indeed, the theme of morality plays an essential role in The White Tiger; the complexity of morality is shown through Balram’s murder, which is immoral from society’s view, but moral at the same time in Balram’s situation because it can help him to have a better life and use his master’s money for the common good.
