- 9611: Imigration And Discrimination
- Beginning in the early nineteenth century there were massive waves of immigration. These "new" immigants were largely from Italy, Russia, and Ireland. There was a mixed reaction to these incomming foreigners. While they provided industries with a cheap source of labor, Americans were both afraid of, and hostile towards these new groups. They differed from the "typical American" in language, customs, and religion. Many individuals and industries alike played upon America's fears of immigration to further their own goals. Leuchtenburg follows this common theme from the beginning of World War I up untill the election of 1928. If there was one man who singlely used America's fear of immigrants to advance his own political goals it was Attorney General Palmer. The rise ...

Another example of a fall for Holden is when he realizes he can’t erase even half the "fuck you’s" in the world.

- ... he now understands what Kumalos people were going through. Rev. Stephen Kumalo was a man of great moral value. He was very firm in his beliefs, yet very nave when it came to the "real world." Kumalo could not imagine why his son did what he did nor did he want to except the fact that it was solely his sons fault for killing a man. The same goes for his ... understood their sons. Jarvis was a key element in the plot because he was almost exactly alike Kumalo. Kumalo and Jarvis both changed tremendously in this story. They both came to a realization of the world around them. It was ironic that at the very end of the story, when Kumalo went to the mountain to pray for his son (who was being executed that day), that Jarvis said that he too would think about Absalom, and that he would build a new church for Kumalo.

- 9614: The Second Coming: Analysis
- ... anarchy and devastation is so grave it is crying out for the Second Coming of Christ. He uses the Sphinx, a soulless, lifeless, empty creature to represent the Spirutus Mundi or the spirit of the world. The “Rocking Cradle” waking up the sphinx refers to Jesus calling attention to the condition of the Spirutus Mundi. He ends the metaphor with a question mark, posing the question of whether the Second Coming will be good or evil. The metaphor demonstrates Yeats’ socio-religious idea that because mankind has lost order, morality, and obedience to God, the Second Coming might not bring about a new beginning, but rather the end of Christianity. Through these metaphors, Yeats highlights his socio-religious belief that the breakdown of societal morals has reached the point where even the anticipated “Second Coming” is questioned as to whether it will be a positive new beginning or an evil resurrection.

- 9616: "A Small Elegy"

From the beginning, "A Small Elegy ... himself talking to himself. He was with other people, but now he is completely alone--his friends gone, his beloved sleeping elsewhere, unconscious, far away. The speaker is the sole operating consciousness mourning in a world where everyone else is asleep. Against the pitch-black darkness he starts saying things to himself, using white words, which I take to mean words that have a kind of unselfconscious purity about them. He daydreams about his mother ,an "autumnal recollection", and that in turn moves him back toward his childhood home where his mother seems still to preside--diminished now over an outmoded world. She is smaller, more vulnerable, someone to be protected. "Matku," he says tenderly in Czech, "Mon maminku," my little mommy, which the translator has rendered as "my diminutive mom." He imagines that after all ...
