Ed doesn’t care. He has lived long enough to realize it doesn’t matter what people think. His hair is balding on the top‚ goes down to about his shoulders‚ and is as white as snow. He wears the same outfit everyday: a battered pair of jeans‚ ford belt buckle‚ and boots. He doesn’t wear a shirt‚ I always think he wakes up and can’t find a shirt so he makes himself just decent enough to go outside. He has tattoos all over his chest‚ and could be the scariest looking person I have ever seen. When we

What the Internet is doing to Our Brains: The Shallows by Nicholas Carr insightfully displays the detrimental after effects of using the Internet. As we use the Internet‚ we seldom think of the consequences that could arise; instead‚ we see a plethora of information that is readily accessible.

For example in the story “The Necklace” all Madame Loisel wanted was to wear something expensive to the

As a Marxist‚ I believe the text undermines the true meaning of the story: “It could be‚ perhaps‚ that his shoes were too tight/It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right”. This line is referencing that there must be a reason why the Grinch doesn’t like Christmas. The perception that everyone favours Christmas because that’s just the way it is‚ depicts a false consciousness‚ at the time. The class struggle is seen with the character‚ Grinch‚ as he is separate from the Whoville society
