    2,307 words
    Blind Is as Invisible Does, A man dealing with his perceptions of himself based on the perceptions of the society around him in Ralph Ellison's 'Battle Royal'Battle Royal', an excerpt from Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, is far more than a commentary on the racial issues faced in society at that time. It is an example of African-American literature that addresses not only the social impacts of racism, but the psychological components as well. The narrator (IM) is thrust from living according to t...

    1,611 words
    Blindness By: Jose Saramago When defining the word blindness, it can be interpreted in various ways. Either it can be explained as sightless, or it can be carefully deciphered as having a more complex in-depth analysis. In the novel Blindness, Jose Saramago depicts and demonstrates how in an instant your right to see can be taken in an instant. However, in this novel, blindness is metaphorically related to 'seeing' the truth beyond our own bias opinions. Saramago's novel clearly illustrates them...
  • Parents Of Blind Children

  • Poem's Nonetheless Emphatic Truth Claims
    2,851 words
    Anthony Hecht Again, this poem has been read as an instance of Emily Dickinson's deliberate tact and poetic strategy "in a generation which did not permit her, without the ambiguity of the riddle, to 'tell the truth'... she early learned that 'success in circuit lies. ' " I cannot disprove that notion, nor do I feel obliged to; but the poem seems to me to have a good deal of religious significance that such a statement inclines altogether to flout: And it came to pass on the third day in the mor...
  • White Blindness
    798 words
    To an extent, fear can be used as a way to mold society. The fear of terrorism set out by the event of 9/11 made it a more fear-driven world with growing minds of over analytical, blind, ignorant and assumable citizens, finger-pointing at others. But Jose Saramago's Blindness shows the possibility of fear molding our society. An epidemic of a bright, white blindness affecting all people, such brightness that no one would see anything but the white brightness itself, the novel uses this metaphori...

  • Anaxagoras And The Atomists Following Parmenides Conclusion
    633 words
    As I read all the varying accounts of what is, what is not, and what will never be, according to Empedocles, Anaxagoras, and the Atomists, I am reminded of a fable my mother told me years ago. In this story there are three blind men. In order to understand what an elephant is, they each approach an elephant. The first blind man is feeling all over the leg of the elephant and says to the others, "It is like a strong tree". But the second who is holding the trunk, explains, "It is like an ever-cha...
  • Reader Into A World Of White Blindness
    1,126 words
    Blind Humanity The threat of blindness requires little motivation to strike fear into anyone's mind; where humans, as a society, rely on the visual the concrete to both explain and act upon their world or reality. To be thrown into a state of blindness is to venture into the unknown territories of the mind. Here, all Hell can break loose as the pretty world of the visual shatters completely, leaving only the essence of humanity to fend for itself. In Blindness, Jose Saramago takes this plunge, d...
