In “Battle Royale”, the first chapter of Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, the chapter uses a variation of dialect in the narrator’s tone of voice throughout the reading to carry out his position of a past he was naive of. The narrator takes his reader on a flashback of a time he was invited to give his high school graduation speech at a gathering where he unknowingly would be a part of a circus act in a room full of white citizens before he may present his speech. “I wanted to deliver my speech and he came at me as though he meant to beat it out of me.” (1216) Over and over again throughout his battle in the ring he thought of nothing more but to say it. Henry Louis Gates “Signifying Monkey” should be applied to this short

Countless tremendous changes might occur during the process. For example, the loss of control over oneself might hurt someone. During the stage of crisis, human beings tend to rely on trustworthy people or else they are clueless on what to do. On the other side, the ones who are getting leaned upon, they will eventually feel the pressure which results in making the wrong choices. Crisis does not bring out the best in people, on the contrary it dehumanizes certain individuals and creates an illusion on having a negative perspective.

The article “Do Video Games Kill” written by Karen Sternheimer responds to one of the most sought-after question; are video games the cause for “young killers”? (220) Sternheimer believes the influence of video games on today’s youth maybe spiraling out of control. She focuses most of the blame on the media, politicians and the Juvenile Justice System. Sternheimer suggests that there are other factors to blame for violent behavior: poverty, the neighborhood, unemployment, family violence, divorced parents and mental illness (218). While juvenile crimes have declined, and personal backgrounds effect actions, it cannot be proven that video game violence has no to little effect on America’s youth.

Similar to The Bluest Eye, Jesmyn Ward presents readers with the set-up of the novel with only a few words from one of the main characters. The introduction provides various functions that allow readers to see what lies ahead and problems the characters may face. Jojo’s statement, “I like to think I know what death is,” provides readers with a certain view of the character that he may be mature beyond his young age, enough to know that death is an imminent threat no one can escape. The statement ushered by Jojo, in the beginning also creates a specific atmosphere that alludes to the complicated hardships of life that he may or may not understand given his young age of thirteen years old.

Heavily influenced by Max Weber, Peter Berger was interested in the meaning of social structures. Berger’s concern with the meaning societies give to the world is apparent throughout his book The Sacred Canopy (1967), in which he drew on the sociology of knowledge to explain the sociological roots of religious beliefs. His main goal is to convince readers that religion is a historical product, it is created by us and has the power to govern us.

I decided to choose Sandy Skoglund’s “Fox Games” for my critique paper. It is a photograph of artist’s installation, Fox Games by Sandy Skoglund. Skoglund is a contemporary artist who most famous in her photographs and sculptures. “Fox Games was originally exhibited in 1989 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris as part of a photography exhibition titled, “150 Years: The Invention of an Art.” (Macmillian, 2009). Sandy Skoglund was born on September 11, 1946, in Weymouth, Massachusetts. She studied both art history and studio art at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts and received her BA degree in Studio Art in 1968. Then she went to the University of Iowa for a Master of Fine Arts Degree. She was interested in a variety of artistic disciplines
My Character is Light Yagami from the book “Death Note”. In the book, Light is faced by a “Good vs. Evil” conflict that goes back and forth with a creature called a Shinigami. They go all over the city going back and forth through conflict. Sometimes he will even go back and forth with himself through conflict.
For instance, Vashti gives lectures through the Machine screen without receiving the listeners’ verbal response. Although she feels “somewhat pleased” (Forster, 20) about the lecture, she later attempts to contact a friend who is a specialist in sympathy for consolation because of having a breakdown and being terrorised of the silence (Forster, 20) during the progress of deterioration of the Machine. As the death of the Machine approaches, people “touch each other” (Forster, 20), “talk, not through the Machine” (Forster, 22) and have direct human contact after they “opened [their] prison[s] and escaped” (Forster, 21). It is tragic that they still do not realise the importance of humanity and that the Machine should not be blindly worshiped. For instance, Vashti still stubbornly thinks that “some fool will start the Machine again” (Forster, 22). Seeing the “untainted sky” (Forster, 22), which is always observed by Kuno but not the others, all the people suddenly have an epiphany that isolation and the norms of being Machine-centred in the new civilisation are infeasible. The beauty of human experience and connection is brought
