- 1551: Cry The Beloved Country By Ala
- ... take the power away from other people. With no genuine aspirations, the power is corrupt and no one will benefit. The situation is slightly ironic because the two men are on their way to hear John Kumalo speak. John has no sincerity in his political work, but enjoys the command and importance he gains as an influential speaker. His selfishness is revealed when he deserts his distressed nephew: “‘There is no proof that my son or this other young man was there at all… John Kumalo smiles at that…. Who will believe your son?’”(Pg. 101) Power in the hands of a man with such twisted morals and lacking loyalty cannot be beneficial. In contrast, James Jarvis is a ...

- 1554: William Shakespeare 2

- 1555: Grendel Vs. Grendel
- ... poem Beowulf, Grendel is seen as pure evil and nothing more. He brings bad things and he kills loved ones. The epic poem just shows him as a monster who needs to be killed. In John Gardner s novel, Grendel, the monster is showed as bringing good things through his evil, like art and poetry. Grendel is also depressed and confused. He is confused about how he should view life. In the end it doesn t matter because he is still confused and the humans kill him. Grendel, as shown in John Gardner s novel, is a story of the struggle of good versus evil. John Gardner shows that neither good can not exist without evil. Just like beauty and ugliness, good and evil are only definitely in contrast of one another. If there was nothing that was beautiful then ...
- 1556: The Crucible: Issues
- ... it turned into an aggressive nature of bitter revenge and greed. One girl in particular, Abigail Williams, is the most unmature of them all. She thinks she can handle any situation, especially the one with John Proctor and she cant. Her behavior is and offset of her lust for him. That is why she sticks with her story from the beginning. From this play I also learn about the effects a ... this man was called to Salem for his guidance on the matter and the people refuse to hear his words once he sees what is happening. Another example of someone changing in this story is John Proctor. In the beginning of this play Proctor strikes me as an insensitive man who didn’t really care what the people thought about him. By the end of the play, Proctor had made a few meaningful speeches. One which struck me as admirable. John Proctor died for the justice of his name. He refused to sign his confession. He knew that God knew his sins and he didn’t want his name blackened in front of the whole ...
- 1557: “Case Study: ‘I Still Do My job, Don’t I?’”
- ... the “Good guys.” But, when the whole bunch is bad, the task may be too large. Assistant Manager, Phillip Tate, dated an employee. This we can work with. Both General Manager, William Bonney, and Manager, John Aston, should have a meeting with Tate and the employee to explain company policy (both, Bonney and Aston, need to be present to enforce the severity of the issue). Close monitoring should also be implemented for a while to ensure compliance. Bob Jackson, District Leader, and Bonney should perform a discreet investigation (wink, wink) to seek the truth in the matter of John Aston’s alleged taking advantage of teenage employee, Theresa Murphy (in which the accusation will be found false). During this erroneous investigation Aston should be suspended with partial pay (to sort of “Take one for ... the team”). The suspension is merely a gesture to appease Theresa’s mother, Mrs. Murphy (the accuser). She will not be satisfied with the lack of findings, but will be able say, “At least he (John) got suspended with his pay docked.” In the end everybody wins. Bob Jackson should confer with the corporate office to set up a series of management-training workshops to help bring Bonney and Aston ...

- ... findings, the amount of alcohol consumed is actually higher then documented. Secondary books were used, to create for the author, an idea about societies attitude toward alcohol consumption and the temperance movement. Such books included John Krout’s The Origins of Prohibition (N.Y., 1925) and Joseph Gusfield’s Symbolic Crusade (Urbana, 1963). “Americans between 1790 and 1830 drank more alcoholic beverages per capita than ever before or since”(ix). In ... disorder causing a major social problem. Despite the fact that distilled spirits reflected a large part of America’s economy, alcohol consumption was vastly becoming intolerable. Even America’s most prominent statesmen including George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson believed the wide spread of alcohol consumption was appalling. The disgust at increasing alcohol consumption and public drunkenness led to efforts, by society’s upper class including John Adams, to have the number of permits for public houses (taverns) reduced, but such efforts failed. This failure led to stricter laws for tavern regulations, including discouraging sales on Sunday and no gaming permitted ...
- 1559: Gender
- ... politics as an example, there has never been a woman President or Vice President. This is because of American societies unwillingness to change their views on this type of discrimination.

- 1560: Stephen Vincent Benet
- ... He was more widely read than Frost, Eliot, and many classical writers. Every lecture hall and poetry workshop wanted him as a guest and his books sold tens of thousands (Griffith 11). In July 1929, John Brown's Body won the Pulitzer Prize and "The Devil and Daniel Webster" won the O. Henry Memorial Award (Roache 102: 14). "King David" got The Nation's poetry prize in 1923 when he was ... ironies in "A Story By Angela Poe" (Roache 102: 14). Poetry was a completely other thing. Benet's style consisted of local humor and short phrases such as in "The Mountain Whippoorwill" (Griffith 13). In John Brown's Body, the content of poetry remains the same as in short stories. He was a historically brought up person who reflected his past in historical writing and poetry. The theme of Benet's poetry ranged widely. The most successful poem is the novel-length John Brown's Body, whose theme is American victory. Being paid for at such a high level, this poem had been well worth it's wait. He won a Pulitzer Prize for it and gave ...
