Eassy # 6
(A): Rinieri and Zeppa both extracted their revenge equal and very clever as will. In each stay, they got the revenge back on their victims by putting them to see their point of reuse and putting them in the same position at a differenltime. In Rinieri, he made her feel the same pain he left in a different metaphor like way. He tricked her into taking off her clothes and stand on top of the tower to get her loves back on to prove a point like she made him stand outside foolishly to prove a point to her lover also. Rinieri was warm on the inside for her and Ekena was cold on the inside to him and hot on the outside it was a good metaphor brought out and in the story of Zeppa because he walked in on his best friend and brother having sex with his wife and was forced to hear it he locked the man in the trunk and had sex with his wife and was forced to hear it he locked the man in the trunk and had sex with his wife on the trunk to basically put him in the position he was in which was basically to have no scoriae but to listen. Both got revenge and justice for the wrongs done to them evenly silently, and in a parable type of way.
(B): I feel the second was more humane because it actually came to a win situation where the men shared wives in the end. Zeppa revenge was no more or no less than what was done to him. He put his friend in his shoes by creating the same circumstance that was purposely done to

    Ha Jin The Saboteur

    Revenge puts off an aroma of evil to the outside world when a person seeks to pay someone back for the wrong committed against them. There seems to be no laws against declaring revenge against a neighbor in our country, but society should know that revenge lends no reconciliation to either party. Also, who truly decides the guilty party when both have committed a wrong towards each other? Mr. Chiu, a character in Ha Jin’s story “The Saboteur,” makes the transition from vacationer and victim of saboteur, to the very essence and definition of saboteur; Jin’s use of role-reversal in this story conveys the concept of revenge clearly and effectively.…

    E.D. Hirsch Jr‘s “Preface to Cultural Literacy” stresses the importance of facing the dilemma of cultural illiteracy of mostly underprivileged children and everyone in our society (33). He urges the educational and literate community to comprehend the natural laws that deem it necessary for society’s underprivileged youth to “remain in the same social and educational condition as their parents” (33). Hirsch asserts, “Cultural literacy constitutes the only sure avenue of opportunity for disadvantaged children” (33). He calls on the educational and literate community to propose a change to the fifty year old “fragmented curriculum based on faulty educational theories” (33). Because Hirsch highlights the strengths and weaknesses in the pedagogic…

    The Crucible - Revenge

    • 1019 Words
    • 5 Pages

    When one is done wrong in a particularly hurtful or offending way, getting revenge is sometimes thought of as the most satisfying way of regaining ones sense of self worth. This plan, however, holds an immense possibility of backfiring in ways never dreamed of. In fact, the outcome of the situation at hand is sometimes made worse than it might have been if this course of action is taken. Arthur Miller demonstrates this in his tragic play The Crucible, by showing the reader that although giving in to feelings of vengeance is easy to do, choosing the path of forgiveness often leads to better results in the long run.…

    Cultural Event Report

    • 643 Words
    • 3 Pages

    For this cultural event report I decided to attend a musical performance. This was a play of the classic movie Beauty and the Beast. This is the first time I have ever attended a live musical and I had an overall good experience. The one thing that I don’t really like is a lot of singing but the acting was extraordinary. The cast was dressed in beautiful brightly colored costumes. The main characters of course were Belle, the Beast, Gaston, and Belle’s father, Maurice. The main thing I did throughout the play was compare it to the actual movie and there were differences but the main plot was the same. I attended the performance with my sister, my kids, and my niece. The kids really enjoyed it, especially the talking teapots! My first impression when entering the theatre was that it was rather small which I expected. The tickets were only $6.00 for students and children under 3 were free. All the seats were full also. I didn’t really expect people to dress up in nice clothes, and everyone just had on mostly jeans and shirt, nothing fancy. The lighting was good on the stage and I could hear the cast loud and clearly through the speakers. One thing that I didn’t like was the microphones that the cast used. They were rather large and it would have been nicer for them to have a microphone that was a little less revealed. There were about 15-20 cast members in all. Some people seemed to look a bit more comfortable on stage than others. The effect on the stage, while they were singing, was great. My favorite part was in the beginning when the Prince was turned into the beast because he was turning down the woman who turned out to be a beautiful enchantress. It was a good lesson of karma and how true…

    Within the Masters of Arts-Integrated studies there are many courses that interest me from each of 12 focused areas. The focus area that I feel strongly compelled towards is Cultural Studies. I believe that the teachings in Cultural Studies will help me understand more deeply about who I am and how culture has shaped me into the person I am today. I will also learn how cultural affects the world around me and the relationship between cultural, identity and roles. The interdisciplinary teachings will enable me to have a more critical and open-minded view towards a variety of cultural factors that influence society structures and roles.…

    What do we have to learn through the study of different cultures? I was hoping for some wonderful revelation in the collection of writings. I may have found one. This book was a difficult read for me. I am not sure whether it's my age or my inexperience with classical readings. I also found it difficult to formulate a report on a collection of readings, the last report I did was on Laura Ingall's Little House on the Prairie. This reading was a little more challenging. The main point that seemed to jump out at me is that perceptions change, our theory of reality changes with every viewpoint. Every culture can seem primitive, self destructive, nonsensical, immoral or just wrong, depending on who is doing the observation and what perspective they are observing from.…

It wasn’t until Christeen was 14 years old, that she moved to the United States. She would tell me how spoiled we are as Americans. She lived in the Philippines without electricity, a television, and rarely had money for new shoes.…
