Ending was good but we do not get much closure on many of the characters (Marla Jackson was driving away with a wound‚ never know if she survived) Flaw/Negatives in my opinion Too less character development on certain characters which indicated whether they will survive in the story One of the few books I have read recently

Women under the Spotlight Women as Migrant Workers Criticisms against quantitative analyses have accentuated the lack of agency given to migrants by reducing women as numerical values. To remedy this‚ studies have incorporated stories from migrant women. The results portray a paradox; on the one hand‚ participation in the labor market has become liberalizing for female workers. Increased employment prospects (from unpaid work) became a source of personal development and empowerment (Asis‚ Hoang

Men differ from women in attitude‚ physical make up‚ and biologically. Women tend to be more nurturing than men.

“Nethergrave” and “A Sound of Thunder”‚ Which is Most Effective? By Haven Runyan A good writer knows‚ at least a little‚ about how sentences work. A good writer can carry on a story without boring a reader. A good writer knows when to stop a bad idea‚ and how to create a great one. A good writer knows how to make their story work effectively in the reader’s mind. I read two short stories recently. Both were science fictions and both were very well written. One was about time travel.

The Effects of Modernity on Identity in Fight Club Identity is a definition of the self‚ an explanation of character. However‚ in the movie Fight Club‚ the components that comprise outward identity often prove to be transitory. Edward Norton’s "Jack" character asks‚ "If you wake up at a different time‚ in a different place‚ could you wake up as a different person?"

The movie Fight Club made a great achievement in the film industry‚ and significantly depicted the social system of the late 20th century. According to most of the reviewers‚ the success of the film lies behind the fact that almost every American man over 25-years of age is going to inevitably see some of himself in the movie: the frustration‚ the confusion‚ the anger at living in a culture where the old rules have broken down and one makes his way with so many fewer cultural cues and guideposts

"Fight Club" seems to be a critic movie about modern capitalistic society and consumer culture‚ but actually the movie can’t provide fundamental resolution‚ eventually helps capitalistic society preserve the present order. In my opinion‚ "Fight Club" is insincere movie which pointed out numerous social problems and ended up without a sense of responsibility‚ just passed the buck to the audiences. I am able to find evidences during the movie. First‚ "Fight club" raised a lot of broad questions

The movie‚ Fight Club‚ has many themes dealing with some of the class-discussed vocabulary. Through a scene by scene‚ and dialogue-based analysis of the movie‚ I have found that these themes are emphasized through discussions‚ interactions‚ and non-dialogue scenes between the main character‚ his imaginary sidekick and the society that has had such effect on the main character. Some of these themes or topics that are shared by both the movie and the class vocabulary appear randomly‚ sporadically‚
