Toni Baker-Moore ENGL 1010-152 Writing # 2 2/20/13 As the richest part of the country in the world‚ what can we do to help these people? The way of homeless people seems very far away from yours- but in some ways quite near. For any of us‚ the loss of jobs‚ the death of a spouse or a child or a severe physical disability could be the route to total despair. These are the tragedies that have happened to many homeless people. Struck by personal tragedies‚ the people in shelters across America

about it. When I first heard about the movie coming to theaters‚ it did not sound like a movie I would like. However‚ when the word got around to me‚ I knew I just had to check it out. I must say that I am glad I sat down and watched it in its entirety. My first opinion was totally wrong. After watching the movie‚ I now understand the buzz that followed it. It was a classic story of a man who comes across a treasure and believes that it just must have been his lucky day. However‚ the conflict arises

Response Reading For “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor One thing that I’ve learned for sure is that most of the famous writers (so far‚ that is) have died at an early age. I see in her bio that O’Connor was one of them. Ok here we go; I see that I am in for a bizarre climax. [1] Well now‚ Mrs. Freeman‚ she sounds like a stubborn person to me‚ one who hates to admit when she’s wrong. She sounds just like my mother-in-law. I wonder what was considered “important business?”[6]

Non Democracy In non-democratic countries people are not participating in political process and they were restricted by central body. The government has absolute powers over its citizens and nobody have a right to freely participate in election‚ decision making process and so on. The government dominated everything and every activity within the territory of its sovereignty. Furthermore‚ the government has an authority to practice some policy to mobilize people for particular purposes like demonstrating

Megan Malpass Womack English 1304 January 31‚ 2014 No Country For Old Men Response I completely disagree with Keats and his idea that the movie‚ No Country for Old Men‚ ends happily as Sheriff Bell tells the story of his dream to his wife. Keats calls it a story of Bell’s “self forgiveness” as he realizes that the goals he had were way too great for him to handle. The viewers can obviously tell that Sheriff Bell looks completely defeated and extremely old in the last scene of the movie. His

Looking at two similar‚ yet different‚ articles “A Quilt of a Country”‚ by Anna Quindlen‚ and the other‚ “The Immigrant Contribution”‚ by John F. Kennedy. It may have been hard‚ but we can tell some important things to you that you might have missed. While reading these articles‚ we found big differences between the two. Some people might say these are too similar to tell a difference. Well‚ let me to you something‚ both articles seem very similar with a glance‚ however‚ they both have many differences

Nihilistic Fools Many people idiotically believe they know everything about life; they make up their sets of beliefs and think they are above everyone. Nevertheless‚ the short story “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Connor demonstrates how even the most literate nihilistic person can be tricked by the simplest uneducated one. Joy/Hulga discovered that her believe in nothing‚ was in reality nothing that had rock-solid foundations. People such as Joy/Helga are allowed to go up to a pedestal by

effective‚ if not disturbing‚ humor. I say "disturbing" because O’Connor’s humor‚ along with humor in general‚ most often contains the tragic. Throughout her works‚ specifically "Good Country People‚" O’Connor uses her humor to humble and expose the biases of the overly intellectual and spiritually bankrupt. "Good Country People" starts with the introduction of Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Hopewell. O’Connor’s most blatant humor is found in the revealing of these two characters‚ a simple humor for simple
