- 19624: Realism, Globalism, Pluralism
- ... corporations are not dismissed as insignificant to the global perspective. The political schedule of the pluralist includes exercises in coalition and maintains a "soft shell" approach to motion between national borders. In contrast, the globalist"s agenda is based primarily on fiscal polity. Capitalism is taken as the first mover of global politics with a relevant historical process. Their political slate is pervaded by the underlying assumption that matters of international ... foreign policy. The Cold War is an example.

- 19626: The Major Years: Isolation and Emily Grierson - A Deadly Combination
- ... woman who is alienated and lives in isolation from the people in her town. The theme of isolation is the focal point of the story, since it is what drove her to her madness. Faulkner's theme of alienation comes up many times in his writing. In the book The Major Years, Melvin Backman states that Faulkner was reaching for a more decent life and more decent people in the midst ... being hidden by reality. "With Faulkner, as with all men, the personal condition underlay and shaped his view of the human condition" (Backman, p.183). The critic goes on to note that men in Faulkner's works tend to undermine women and their roles in society. Women are oppressed and are usually controlled by men. The women try to fight the men in their society and are trying to find a ... the perfect example of a woman alienated by a society controlled by men who make trouble for her instead of helping her. Minrose Gwin, author of The Feminine and Faulkner, states that several of Faulkner's female characters, including Emily Grierson, are "indeed active disruptive subjects in their narratives; theirs are voices which denounce and subvert male power"(Gwin, p.8). They do what they do , such as killing Homer ...
- 19627: The Declaration of Individualism and The Encouragement of Protest from Birmingham Jail
- ... method is protest. This method is supported by two different people, in two different time periods, with two different goals; these two people are Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King Junior. Martin Luther King Junior's letter from Birmingham Jail was an expression of his encouragement for protest against tradition and established laws and a justification for his actions. King, a leader of a civil-rights group that supported protest against traditional views, encouraged protesting against tradition and established laws that are unjust. In his letter from Birmingham Jail King states: "It was illegal to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers. If today I lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country's anti-religious laws." This excerpt shows that King encourages protest because in some situations he deems it necessary, be it in Hitler's Germany, a Communist country, or any situation in which injustices are ...
- 19628: Absalom: Using The Three Narratives to Understand Sutpen
- ... believes he is to blame for the downfall of her family. Her mind became very unorganized, and while trying to place the blame on Sutpen, her thoughts became distorted. It becomes apparent that Miss Rosa’s impression is somewhat old fashioned. This romanticism is seen in her when she becomes involved with the engagement of Charles and Judith and later with her personal involvement with Sutpen. Miss Rosa put all of ... boy before marriage. This ended their relationship and shattered her dreams once again. From these conclusions, she blamed Sutpen with the downfall of the Coldfield family.

But he is not so far away that he can ... important or even having anything to do with the world today. Mr. Compson could be similar Miss Rosa in that they both believe men have been subjected to some kind of preordained fate.

- 19629: A Rose for Remembrance
- ... is not I that belong to the past, but the past that belongs to me.” The quote is by Mary Antin, and could just have easily been said by Emily, a character in William Faulkner’s literary work entitled “A Rose for Emily”. In this work, Faulkner created a contrast between the past and the present that displayed the bold differences of generations and the denial of the change that, in this instance, was taken to the grave. The past was shown as the characters Emily, Colonel Sartoris, the Negro servant, and the Board of Alderman (who accepted the Colonel's attitude toward Emily and rescinded her taxes). The present, however, was expressed primarily through the words and views of the unnamed narrator of whom, most believably, could be perceived as the town. The new Board ... not always had that appearance. In the picture of a younger Emily with her father, she was shown as frail and apparently hungering to take part in the life of the era. After her father's death, she looked like a girl “with a vague resemblance to those angels in colored church windows--sort of tragic and serene” (qtd. in Kirzner & Mandell 83). This suggests that she had already begun ...
- 19630: The Black Cat: The Narrator Is Crazy
- ... when thinking of the exact type of mental illness that the narrator suffers from is, Schizophrenia. When a person is schizophrenic their personality can change drastically from one minute to the next. The main character’s emotions jump all over the place through out the story. One minute he loves his cat; and the next he is killing it. It all seems very odd because that is not normal behavior. One example of the narrator’s craziness occurs in the beginning of the story. The narrator tells the reader how much he loves animals and stresses the fact that his favorite animal is their black cat. He describes his love for the cat and tells the reader that the cat loves him too. Yet, once the cat does not give the narrator quite as much attention as he had hoped, the narrator’s personality changes completely. He begins to show resentment toward the cat, and in a fit of drunken rage, gauges out his eyes. A second example of the narrators craziness is, after a while, the ...
