  • Ships Crew And The Lower Class Passengers
    436 words
    Review of John Updike's Review 'It Was Sad'I chose to review John Updike's Review "It Was Sad" from the October 14th issue of "The New Yorker". In the review, Updike examines several works concerning the tragedy of the Titanic. He cites these works, I feel, to support his own opinion about the event, and the different accounts of what really happened. Updike spends some time disproving the belief that the upper class male passengers heroically sacrificed their own seats on the lifeboats for thos...

    In the Romantic period, many authors make references to different social concerns. This enabled the authors to hint towards different concerns in their writing, but not come directly out and state their concerns. Three great examples of authors like this include: William Blake, Robert Burns, and Anna Laetitia Barbauld. Each of these authors had unique concerns that they were able to get across in their own way. Blake wrote two poems with entitled "Chimney Sweeper". One version was found in his '...

After examining some reasons why there is division within classes in Canadian sport, I will discuss what steps or measures would be necessary to take in order to achieve equali...
  • Parallel Between Vampirism And The Lower Class
    1,918 words
    The Victorian men and women conveyed in Bram Stoker's Dracula are pure and virtuous members of the upper and middle class. However, hiding behind this composed and civilized conception of England lies a dark and turbulent underbelly. This underbelly is the lumpenproletariat, whom Karl Marx defined as 'the lowest and most degraded section of the proletariat; the 'down and outs' who make no contribution to the workers cause'. Victorian culture discriminated against these vagrants, who were seen no...

  • Dr Tarrant And His Daughter Verena
    879 words
    Interesting Subjects that Captivate the Reader in the American Novel The Bostonians, by Henry James was a very interesting piece. James' underlying tone for the spiritualism and fascination is clearly a picture of the time when the piece was written. I thought that is played an important influence in his writing. Ruth Hall, by Fanny Fern is an unofficial biography of her own life as a women activist. One of the underlying issues that stand out in her novel is the way that she includes the lower-...
  • Hitler's Ideas Of Society
    693 words
    Hitler's ideas of society are reflected in Fritz Lang's 1926 film, "Metropolis". "Metropolis" is filled with dark themes and ideas leading from oppression to ideas of creating a perfect society. Although it is a pre-Hitler and pre- WWII the comparisons are amazing. Lang's use of the theme of futurism, the method in which Freder's father rules Metropolis, and the idea of the elite working above the lower class all coincide with Hitler's beliefs. Any one of those are possible reasons as to why Hit...

The use of symmetry in the frame composition of Metropolis created a mechanical effect. This effect was particularly use...

    717 words
    Though Stalinist Russia and Hitlerian Germany had different rhetoric, they were both totalitarian dictatorships that sought to attain total power for both leaders. Both evidenced a singleness of aim combined with complete tactical flexibility and shared a passion to dominate all around them.

Both used government to control and...
  • Experienced Independence
    804 words
    Women of Early America AP US 9/5/02 Women during the colonial period experienced far less equality then they do today. Women were expected to completely submit to their husbands and tend to the household. However, the independence a woman enjoyed often depended heavily upon several factors. The society in which a woman lived, her social class, and her ideological upbringing controlled the amount of independence she experienced. The amount of independence women had varied based on the society in ...

    Charles Dickens was an author who has a common theme in most of his books. Charles Dickens liked to stress, in his books, that the lower class is always higher than the upper class. Another idea is the need for sacrifice. He also had a common place where his novels took place. Most of them took place in an area where there was a cast system.

  • People Of The Lower Class
    603 words
    When you read David Copperfield, it doesn't take long to realize the difference between the upper and lower classes. Dickens had a way of making one-dimensional characters, and he was also good at doing this with the social status of the characters. The best examples of this, I think, would be Daniel Peggotty for the lower class, and Rosa Dartle for the upper class. Daniel Peggotty was portrayed as a man that lived for everyone but himself. He was always willing to go out on a limb. He was kind ...
