In the seventh chapter of book two, the Monsieur the Marquis had accidentally driven his carriage over a young child, killing him. Instead of worrying about the child's welfare, the Monsieur's reaction was to worry about his horses: "One or the other of you is forever in the way. How do I know what injury you have done to my horses."(Dickens, 111) He deemed their lives inferior and insignificant, this attitude was illustrated when he threw a gold coin to the child's devastated father as compensation.

At the beginning of the novel, we want Madame Duval to be castigated for her mistreatment of our heroine. We do not expect her punishment to be in the form of physical abuse. Because this is the only justice we see done to Madame Duval, Burney forces us to accept the abuse. In most other arenas, violence against women is abhorred. However, in this case we are asked to tolerate, and even laugh at the brutality of Captain Mirvan. On the other hand, the small amount ...
- 2314: The Scarlet Letter: Sin Affects
- The Scarlet Letter: Sin Affects In the novel “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hawthorne focuses on Hester Prynne’s sin. Hester Prynne commits adultery with Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale and bares a child named Pearl. Hester is judged guilty by the townspeople and is forced to wear a letter A on her chest. She does not tell the town that Dimmesdale is the father of Pearl. Hester suffers ... has sinned against God. Partly this is so because God has never been a real presence in her life. Hester believes that the sin wasn’t against God, because he has given her “a lovely child”. Hester has violated no law of her own nature. Her relationship with Dimmesdale, consequently, has been the almost inescapable result of her own nature, not a violation of it. Her sin has only affected the ... from the town. The townsmen look at him as a “godly pastor.” It is emphasized that “ so far as his duties would permit, he trod in the shadowy bypaths, and thus kept himself simple and child-like; coming forth, when occasion was, with a freshness, and fragrance, and dewy purity of thought, which, as many people said, affected them like the speech of an angel.”(Pg. 110) Dimmesdale’s sin ...
- 2315: Comparative Analysis: Cinderella and Snow White
- ... by the second and even third time that it was her disguised mother on the other side of the door to the dwarfs' home presenting her with poisoned objects intended to bring death to the child (Grimm 4-6). Snow White was shown as disobedient and stubborn in this popular fairy tale because her savior dwarfs make it explicit not to open the door to anyone (Grimm 3). Snow White opened ... great popularity. But with this quality of familiarization, Bettelheim saw a problem: many children may actually believe that they are Cinderella. The thought that the parent(s) is favoring the other sibling(s) crosses every child's mind at least once in adolescence, and Cinderella offers "material with which to act out [these] feelings" (Bettelheim 643). Snow White's mother, just as in "Cinderella," does not like Snow White, and even wants to have her killed. This incessant theme of the exiled or ostracized child is not helpful in the development of a society without hateful, vindictive, or emotionally loaded feelings. This repetition and emphasis, although subtle, may give children even more of a reason to fear that they ...
- 2316: Ontological And Cosmological A
- ... scientific reasons that are not fully explained. Humans are happier with a religious explanation because it rests in the idea of a Supreme Being that people are afraid of, and feel secure in, like a child is to a parent. Most humans are religious and generally speaking older people are more religious than younger people are. Why do people turn to religion? There are many different answers given to this question ... or gives them rationalization for the lack of justice in this world. Others turn to religion as a kind of irresponsible reaction to a world we cannot cope with. This reaction is similar to a child's unwillingness to give up an illusion of security that he or she should have outgrown in adolescence. Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud were critical of religion and believed it to be an obstacle to man ... philosophers and "free spirits" felt redemption in this event. Another person to attack religion was Sigmund Freud, who reduced the grand aspirations of religion to, mere illusions, but, even worse, the illusions of an insecure child who has never properly grown up. According to him, religious ideas are given out as teachings, are not precipitates of experience or end results of thinking; they are illusions, fulfillment's of the oldest, ...
- 2317: Paradise Lost
- ... is deficient of the real world. Moreover, since "nearby is a cemetery for dogs, with small monuments and even a Conestoga wagon," then once again we get the impression that California being a plaything; a child’s tale. There are many more examples across the pages that seem to reiterate California’s characterization as a fable on account of the author’s further critical thinking on the matter of California as ... What's more, since "a whole family of deer may start up from among them, and at dusk there is an air of mystery that descends; but it is a literary mystery, out of a child’s book," then once again we can see how man’s imagination serves to harvest a child’s tale. These examples make it obvious of how man’s imagination plays a major role into why they perceive California as paradise. Thus, because of Marías’ extensive critical meditation of why she considers ...
- 2318: ON POVERTY
- ... whatever they desired to make profit. Any intervention was discouraged. Then many businessmen used this doctrine to justify monopoly, bad working conditions, competition and the exploitation of working class through low pay, long-hours and child labour.

Because of the fact that exploited class did not aware of their being ... affluent lives. To eliminate poverty, developing and expanding programs to reduce the causes of poverty will be effective. So laws to end racial and sex discrimination can be enforced, programs to curb alcohol and drug abuse can be expanded, higher quality education programs, family planning programs, public housing programs and national health insurance programs are needed. However, partly because poverty is functional, society makes a little effort to reduce poverty. To ...

- ... to survive. We mostly gave them weapons, tactic training and Christianity. Donavan took part in a seemingly rare situation where positive, personal interaction of American and Vietnamese cultures can be seen. A death of a child from ringworm is disturbing. "To think what just a bar of soap would have meant to that child if he had had it in time! What a little elementary sanitation, or even a few rudimentary medicines, could have done to save the life of that child or to reduce the misery of thousands of others in my district alone."(p289) The author understood the needs of the Vietnamese people; he became one of them. "Americans don't understand about soap."( ...
