Werner Pfennig Analysis
Werner Pfennig and his sister Jutta are orphans who live in Children's House in Zollverein, Germany. Werner teaches himself the basics of electronics, inspired by a radio program hosted by a Frenchman. Soon he is building radios of his own, and increasing their range and power instead of just repairing them. When word of his prowess gets out, he is invited to audition to attend the National Political Institutes of Education. He is admitted, but is miserable and longs to return to his sister and the only home he knows. Instead, he is educated and singled out for his electronic ability, asked to create a transceiver that would enable them to locate illegal radio transmissions. When he manages to do so, he is fast tracked into a uniform and sent

    The Last Lecture By Randy Pausch Analysis

    1. Randy Pausch, the author of The Last Lecture, remains stagnant throughout the novel. He has always been a creative, optimistic, and light-hearted person, and stays that way through most of the book. First, his optimism is shown when he and his wife learn of his prognosis after seeing the CT scan and he decides that he will not let it define him or the rest of his life. He states, “Leaving the doctor’s office, I thought about what I said to Jai in the water park in the afterglow of the speed slide. ‘Even if the scan results are bad tomorrow,’ I had told her, ‘I just want you to know that it feels great to be alive, and to be here today, alive with you. Whatever news we get about the scans, I’m not going, the reader is shown . In addition,…

    Der Erlkönig Analysis

    The tale of the child recorded in Der Erlkönig, while potentially not an exactly true account, is a generally accurate warning about against the dangers of Erlkings hidden in muggle folklore. We notice there are some partial discrepancies or vagaries, but these can (and will) be accounted for and do not hinder the overall meaning and truth of the piece. We know this to be a true account for a number of reasons. Some of the most basic reasons include the prevailing theme of the “elf king’s” voice only reaching the child and not being heard by the father and the feeling of temptation that is insinuated.…

    Paul Pfeiffer Analysis

    The artist that peeked my interest the most within the, Art 21: Time video was Paul Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer appears to me as a man who understand the significance of his surroundings. Like myself Pfeiffer is attracted to events that bring in a crowd like sporting events, he works on showing the relationship between objects, what is around the object, and what role the object plays where it is. Pfeiffer even believed of himself as a translator not an author, meaning that what he is showing in his art isn’t his own he is recycling these materials, and displaying them in his own perspective, which I believe is very humble of him to admit.…

    Albert Speer Analysis

    Despite Albert Speer’s claims, as Minister of Armaments, it is inevitable that Albert Speer was aware of the use and abuse of forced labour and the appalling conditions of inmates at concentration camps and I find it hard to believe anything contrary. As Gitta Sereny suggests, Speer knew a lot more than what he led on, he knew what he was inevitably going to find out. Although Speer states in, Inside the Third Reich, “I did not investigate, I did not want to know”, this position of knowledge places him with direct personal responsibility for the use and abuse of forced labourers.…

    Herbert Gettridge Analysis

    Herbert Gettridge was one of the many New Orleans residents that had to leave their home due to Hurricane Katrina. Gettridge, however, came back to his mildly demolished home in hopes of restoring his old life. Individually, he experiences many setbacks. The first one is coping with the destruction of his home which he worked hard for years to build. The house has a great value to him because he is a 5th generation New Orleanian and his ancestors worked as slaves to get him where he is now. He may as well judge the way he built his house by thinking how such a premises fell as if it was made of sand. Secondly, he will be depressed by the memories he had before the hurricane. The mere thoughts of not being with his wife, children and grandchildren will haunt him. His family is scattered throughout the nation and most of them…

    Bruce Dawe Analysis

    Bruce Dawe explores the complexities of modern life in Homo Surburbiensis and Enter Without So Much as Knocking. Dawe conveys the ideas through references to everyday life and what the protagonists experience throughout their lives. The author’s perspective on life is contradictory in the pair of poems and this is shown through the use of imagery, description of the characters and the tone of his language. In both poems, the main characters are not seen as individuals but are used as metaphors to represent the rest of the people within that world or society.…

    Simon Wiesenthal Analysis

    Simon Wiesenthal takes his readers on a course back in time with his writings of The Sunflower. Simon recollects moments when he was subjected to live in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. Karl, a dying SS soldier implores for forgiveness for his crimes against Jews of Simon. Our main character is conflicted by the request and leaves his readers by asking what would one have done being in his position. Providing an answer to this question can be determined by the analysis of Simon’s experiences and findings of experimenters. Philip Zimbardo and Stanley Milgram’s experiments demonstrate the relationship and effects that authority has on subjects. In “The Perils of Obedience”, Milgram applies his analysis of his experiments showing…

    Hoob Partch Analysis

    In my opinion the director of this documentary did an excellent job portraying Partch’s life from birth to death and mainly focusing on his legacy and determination to remain as an individualist composer. It was really sad at the same time inspiring to see Partch deal with his problems including his homosexuality, heavy drinking issue, and the impact of the Great Depression of the 1930s on his career. In fact, during the 1930s Partch gave up music and became a hobo, a lifetime experience that sparked a new and even better creative experiences and opportunities for him. To be honest, I didn’t really like the word “hobo” and would prefer to think of Partch as the “explorer” of his own journey. While living a life as hobo, Partch went through a lot of difficulties and kept…

    Hildegard Von Bingen Analysis

    Hildegard von Bingen was a German Benedictine abbess, theologian, and visionary writer, known across Europe as Saint Hildegard or Sybil of the Rhine. She produced major works of religious literature including visionary tracts, essays on natural science and medicine, liturgical dramas, and songs for devotional performance (The State College of Florida). The twelfth century Catholic Church recognized the divine source of Hildegard’s prophecies, and authorized her to organize events of public ministry outside the walls of her cloisters. During a time when the ideas of few women were acknowledged, her teachings reinforced the religious practice of the Christian faith, and inspired the works of other leading mystics of the middle ages (Benedict…

    Simon Garfundel Analysis

    discomforting visuals take place, at night in the realm of a moonlit sky. The intrigue and audience response and reaction are similar between the two artists; however, it was not the creative mental trickery of Dali that Simon & Garfunkel were intending. Art Garfunkel plays down this search for intellect when referring to their lyrics saying “There is no serious understanding because there is no serious communication”. Critics who dig to satisfy the popular analysis of Simon & Garfunkel are in some ways on a fast track to nowhere. These people look for answers but Simon & Garfunkel state that they did not create for attention like Dali. There appears to be an illusion within an illusion, since, according to statements such as Art’s, Simon…

    Bronfenbrenner Analysis

    Urie Bronfenbrenner proposes an ecological theory that centers on the relationships between the developing individual and the changing environmental system (Crandell, Crandell & Vander Zanden 2009 p. 52). His theory changed the way many social and behavioral scientists approached the study of human beings and their environment (Ceci p.173). The ecological theory for human development surpassed barriers among the social sciences and forged bridges which allowed enhanced findings in a larger capacity (Ceci p.173). Initially, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory was looked at as being a radical thought (Ceci p.173). His Ecological Theory consist of stages the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and the macrosystem. Later Bronfenbrenner would add the chronosystem because he believed that change would occur over time (Crandell, Crandell & Vander Zanden 2009 p.53). As I have become more familiar of the work of Bronfenbrenner and his Ecological Theory I can think of a lot of my life that could fit into various stages.…

    Bronfenbrenner Analysis

    Urie Bronfenbrenner (1917–2005), a developmental theorist, proposes development does not occur in a vacuum, but may take several different paths depending on the environmental framework in which it occurs. Understanding the numerous factors that influence human development is the key to knowing oneself and contributing optimally in helping activities with others. Important aspects of human development can be understood within the context of a system of relationships and corresponding environmental influences. Bronfenbrenner proposed the ecological systems theory to help explain the manner in which the relationships among environmental variables influence developmental behavior (Crandell, Crandell, & Vander Zanden, 2012). This paper will attempt to analyze Bronfenbrenner's theory of development. It will also look at how his levels of influence helped to shape my development and discuss how this theory has influenced me as far as making decisions about my education and career.…
