Marge Piercy describes the values of work and people's attitudes towards it. She admires the people most who go straightly work than linger around like a shadow. Those who don't waste time are confident and move forward. She appreciates the hard work of people who works like an ox to a heavy cart. They become successful with patience and perseverance. The repetition of task straining in mud will go forward as they know what has to be done. The poem tells the reader that the speaker wants people to work totally like in the process of harvesting, and work in a group. Hard work and the temperament to sustain that level of work over a prolonged period of time are very attractive to the speaker. The parlor generals who only give orders aren't worthwhile so its important to move in the rhythm to work in the field to set the food right. In the last stanza, the poet compares the world with mud. It can smear the hand but it gives an immense sense of satisfaction af...

Heinrich Boll conveys a critical view on social hypocrisy and false cultural values in a story "Action will be taken: An action-packed story. It is a satirical story. The narrator is an employee in Alferd Wunsiedel's factory. He has to start off the job due to prolonged financial difficulties. He thinks his fellow companion to the factory is sufferers where they had to undergo an aptitude test. The factory was built of glass brick so he is very suspicious. He and others were served breakfast in a cheerful coffee shop. He didn't take all the meals served. He had orange juice and left coffee and egg. He thought breakfast is also a part of the test. Soon after he was done with the meal he was ushered into the room with the questionnaires spread on the attractive table. Though the room was empty he could feel he was being watched. He answered all the questions and he got the job. In his answers, he has preserved his nature as a workaholic person. He lies on all ...

According to Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, Vampire is a timeless phenomenon in the arts. They are everlasting creatures that dynamically change with the times. Toro and Hogan argue the topic of Vampire was started nearly 200 years ago. They discuss the cause for its popularity with the evidence in every age after its inception. The authors classify the Vampires into two categories on the basis of vampiric fiction: the romantic hero vampire and the vampire as an undead monster. John William Polidori brought erotic anxieties into "The Vampyre" that gave birth to two main categories. One of the reasons why Vampires never died because they are not considered just monsters, they can have a romance to them as well. Also, Vampires are on some cereal boxes. Most people love vampires because of their lust and love. The two great monsters of the modern age are Dr. Frankenstein and Lord Ruthven created by Mary Shelly and John William Polidori. Dr. Fr...

The Rage to Know

According to Horace Freeland Judson, a certain moment of mind helps us to discover something in our own way. We experience the knowledge at a moment of pure scientific perception. So science is the century's art. The moment of truth is experienced at once of exhilaration and tranquility. Be it, scientists, or Mathematicians, they get the clarity of the moment of discovery at the point of exhilaration and tranquility. The science includes enormously disparate ideas. It includes ranges of ideas from human life to particle physics. The purest form of mathematics, the most practical problems of shelter and hunger, sickness, and war fall in the category of research in science. Science accepts the diversity which lies in unity. Scientists are sculptors, surgeons, and builders. They carry a sense of prideful skill. But before acquiring a sense of great gratification that comes with the recognition, its important to have curiosity. Curiosity is a delightful mastery. The...

The Black Table is Still There Lawrence Otis Graham asks rhetorical questions in an essay “The Black Table is Still There” like Is that what the all-black table means? Is it a rejection of white people? Why did black kids segregate themselves?" These questions project the segregated life of black people in America. Despite mandated integration people if given a choice, they choose the self-segregation that has become the norm in public schools. When Graham visited his middle school, there was not a black table but also an Italian, Jewish girls table and pothead, middle-class Irish kids table.

Stan Cox thinks the excessive use of air conditioning can bring problematic consequences. Cox argues usage of air conditioners in everyday life can be fatal. Its usage should be limited in the premise of hospitals, archives, and cooling centers. The air conditioner reduces humidity, busts electricity- bill and fills the atmosphere. So it's wrong to use air conditioners everywhere. Cox advocates for A.C free Washington because excessive use of A.C can cause long summer business hours at work. They don't have to carry sweaters or space heaters to work in summer. A.C free Washington would take back ceiling fans, window fans, and desk fans. After the absence of A.C ceiling fans, window fans, and desk fans take back and for that matter, paperweights will be brought back to America as they may get blown away by the air produced by fans. At home, it creates renovation and new constructions like high ceilings, better cross ventilation and most of all home utility bills plummet....

Walljasper talks about major factors contributing to American's increasingly hectic lifestyles. They have become slaves to their schedules. They are in competition with time. They have various obligations and opportunities to meet. That's why they are forced to overwork. They have to work around the clock at school, job, and home. So many things are happening too fast. They are compelled to follow the dizzying timetable, duties, commitments, demands, and options. Walljasper argues due to the globalized economy, people are in a race to earn better. Those people at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder suffer a lot. They have to handle two or three jobs. Likewise, successful professionals like Doctors are working with crowded schedules. With the invention of technologies like cell phones, laptops, computers, and email expect us to be instantaneous. Though they are invented to make our work easier, they not setting us free. We are expected to be in the loop all the time...

Michael Ventura Speaks of an illusion of freedom that U. S workers have in their jobs. Ventura mentions it is due to work people have no authority over themselves. They have regular jobs and they really have time for themselves. He shows relationships between employer and employee. He shares his own experience of having 2 weeks' holiday in 52 weeks i.e in a year. The employee gets so less than what he contributes to the work. Its the responsibility of the employee to work 50 weeks per year. Despite working and giving his life's valuable part, its difficult for them to receive rewards from employees. The writer advocates for the value of the workers and they should be heard and included in the process of decision making. That's why workers in the US are unable to live up to the natural rights guaranteed in the U.S. Declaration of Independence (1776). Most of the people have little or no authority over what they do five days a week for 45 years. So they are deprived of ...

What Are Cause and Effect? Cause and effect analyze why something happens. The analysis explains why something happened or is happening- and predicts what probably will happen. Sometimes many different causes can be responsible for one effect. Likewise, a single cause can produce many different effects. The relationships between are cause and effect often subtle and complex. The most complex situations involve numerous causes and many different effects. There are main and contributory causes. The main cause is the most important cause and the contributory cause is less important causes. It is important to understand the main and contributory causes. Similarly, understanding immediate and remote causes. An immediate cause closely precedes an effect and is therefore relatively easy to recognize. A remote cause is less obvious, perhaps because it involves something in the past or far away. It's important to understand casual chains of causes. Sometimes a effect can ...
