Text 1:
The first text is from V for Vendetta, a novel based on the theme of conflict between government oppression and public freedom.The General idea of graphic novel series revolves around after effects of nuclear war, which has created massive destruction, and as a result, the fascist government has taken over the control.

Being troubled with social and financial situation, the girl attempts to prostitute herself for earning money. The user suppresses Evy’s life. In V for Vendetta balance of terrorizing activities is identified between the characters. If government is doing something wrong, then various activities of V were also found to be vicious. Woman in V for Vendetta just like women in Morgan’s article is subject to victimization. Her oppressors have exploited rights of Evy. She does not have freedom to live her life at her own will. Other humans are ruining her freedom. Whereas, in Morgan’s article I can realize that black women is also in devastation situation. Freedom of black women is also seems to be seized by other human. In my viewpoint, women’s position in second text is more vulnerable, since she is only considered as a source of enjoyment, sex and pleasure. Evy is a single character who feel pain. However, black women is not a single human being, its represents all women of black community. Pain of black women is collectively greater than

This essay will compare and contrast two Caucasian characters by the names of Hiram Hillburn (The Mississippi Trial, 1955) and Celia Foote (The Help), who also went against the acts of prejudice.

  • Portrait Of America Sparknotes

    1864 Words  | 4 Pages

    During the process of reading this compilation of works, Portrait of America, many different point of views were aired. The opinion or attitude on the subject was too tainted. The authors were very biased to their perception of the "story". This book could have been much more beneficial if the facts would have stayed to the straight and narrow. Only the detrimental facts needed to be applied to these chapters. For a history class, as broad as this, this book opened too many doors that could not be explained in as much detail as would be liked. Many of the authors enjoyed mentioning the most scandalous moments of the people's lives then dropped the fact without much support or follow through as to what happened to cause or end these events. Brief summaries only tease the mind, and with the course load of most students, there is hardly extra time to investigate the matter further in detail. For a class such as History 152, biographies and/or documentary style books are more worth the while of the student. For instance make a list of a selection of novels that could be read for the class, so that every student can then explore in depth what that student thinks is interesting. Although the book was teasing in nature the chapters did flow well and were easy to read. The procession of the chapters had wonderful transition as to not loose the student. While proceeding through this book there were several different reoccurring topics that appeared. This paper will discuss these two reoccurring topics: the civil rights movement and former presidents.

  • Audre Lorde The Fourth Of July Analysis

    In Audre Lorde’s bildungsroman essay “The Fourth of July” (1997), she recalls her family’s trip to the nation’s capital that represented the end of her childhood ignorance by being exposed to the harsh reality of racialization in the mid 1900s. Lorde explains that her parents are to blame for shaping her skewed perception of America by shamefully dismissing frequent acts of racism. Utilizing copious examples of her family being negatively affected by racism, Lorde expresses her anger towards her parents’ refusal to address the blatant, humiliating acts of discrimination in order to emphasize her confusion as to why objecting to racism is a taboo. Lorde’s use of a transformational tone of excitement to anger, and dramatic irony allows those

  • Evey Hammond as a Revolutionary in V for Vendetta

    827 Words  | 2 Pages

    Alan Moore's graphic novel V for Vendetta is not only a call for revolution, but also an explanation of how such process should materialize. V, who transcends beyond a character and embodies the concept of revolution, establishes the procedure for social change. He understands that his role is to avenge and “make rubble” of injustice and corruption; however, true social reform must move beyond destruction and forge an improved society on the ruins of an oppressed past. Therefore, V adopts Evey Hammond, a young victim of the regime, as his protégée and educates her to guide society through the second stage of revolution: reconstruction. Evey's character embodies the stages of revolution, preeminently reconstruction. Through her, Moore recognizes not only the need for destruction, but also for rebirth in a transcendental revolution.

  • Racism In Serena Williams's Citizen: An American Lyric

    784 Words  | 2 Pages

    This allowed readers to experience horrible acts of white people and to empathize with the innocent victims. However, Rankine criticizes the people of the United States for their attitudes and behaviors towards African-Americans. Particularly, the author claimed that “as citizens, we are all involved in society’s indignities and injustices, whether as perpetrator or bystander consciously or unthinkingly” (Evaristo 1). Thus, the book challenges people’s perceptions and beliefs, compelling them to reevaluate their actions. The readers begin to understand that their tolerance of violence and lack of actions to prevent racism contributes to injustices in the United States. Rankine even implied that “freedom of expression, something which the accumulative stresses of racial violence would seem to attempt to limit” blocks and alters “his or her experience of citizenship” (Day 3). Therefore, the citizens need to get involved in supporting and protecting African-Americans’ lives, who are loyal residents of the nation as

    Originally derived from a three lectures series delivered by Woodward in the mid-1950’s, this book summarizes the history of racial oppression that developed in the United States after Reconstruction and that has remained with us ever since. Woodward explains how perpetual racial animus was not necessarily the inevitable outcome to be expected at the end of the Civil War and Reconstruction, but instead, was the product of choices by opportunistic politicians who furthered their own ends by furnishing their frightened constituents with someone to hate, despise, denigrate and abuse (Woodward, 12).

  • Patriot Movie Analysis

    581 Words  | 2 Pages

    Well-known Director Roland Emmerich’s ‘Patriots’ is a historically based film focusing on the Revolutionary War and how much energy, courage, fighting and souls this major battle took away in order to achieve victory. Patriots was released even before half of the students in my history class learned how to walk which was June 27, 2000. Robert Dowan who also made the film possible was the talented screenwriter behind this film. The major cast in the Patriots were Mel Gibson who played as Benjamin Martin, Heath Ledger as the courageous Gabriel, Jason Isaacs as Lt. Colonel William Tavington, Tom Wilkinson as the cowardice and intelligent Gen. Lord Charles Cornwallis, and last but not least major actor, Tchéky Karyo as Jean Villeneuve. Patriots certainly gave me more knowledge of what was going on during the Revolutionary War.

  • V For Vendetta Symbolism

    2058 Words  | 5 Pages

    Terrorism, fake news, and political overload are words that are being heard more and more often, but what do they mean and how can we discuss them academically. The world we live in has always been volatile. Humanity is difficult and unpredictable, but at the same time it loves routine and order. We are influenced by power and fear even when we know that those in power are not doing what is right or just. We accept it to spare ourselves from pain, death, or shame. However, at the same time it only takes one person, one symbol, one spark of hope to incite revolution and a chance for a better world. V for Vendetta, a graphic novel by Alan Moore, shows us a story of a “man” or at least a figure named V living in an alternate England that has been

  • The Sniper Film Analysis

In The Sniper the main character is described as having “the eyes of a man who is used to looking at death” (O’Flaherty). Because the sniper was so accustomed to death, and even being the cause of it, he has little to no reaction to killing people day by day. He does not think of them as individual humans with lives and souls, but just another dehumanized being. Therefore, he does not come to the repercussions of his actions until he discovers that one of his victims was actually his brother.

  • V For Vendetta Society Analysis

    1006 Words  | 3 Pages

    A gray, echoing room surrounds it. It is shackled, restrained, confined. Ankles and wrists bruised and bleeding from the chains that loop around it, like a tornado ripping anything it is able to grasp. Screaming thoughts constantly being silenced and unsaid words repeatedly being swallowed down. However, it does not screech for freedom; freedom does not slither off its tongue, ever. And most importantly, it does not mind the bruises and the bleeding because it is dull, lifeless, and numb. Gray eyes are wide, open, and witnessing everything, but the unclaimed eyes are not able to comprehend what it’s viewing. It claims that its name is Citizen and that it lives in a city called Society. More or less, this is how the authors of V for Vendetta and Fahrenheit 451 had envisioned the future: the citizens being the
