...The theory of “hunt or be hunted” is an idea often discussed and debated. Some state that it is always present, in some shape or form, while others argue that it does not apply to all circumstances. In The Most Dangerous Game, the hunter/hunted ideology is a prominent component. In the story, General Zaroff actually hunts Rainsford in a sort of game, hence, “The Most Dangerous Game.” Though this story is a clear example of the hunter/hunted complex in action, it is only one example. In another circumstance, the hunter/hunted complex would be irrelevant and therefore absent. In this particular story, a man called General Zaroff serves as the hunter. In the beginning, and even before the game begins, Zaroff boasts about his intelligence against the animals he’d hunted before. One example of his gasconade would be “Simply this: Hunting had ceased to be what you call ‘a sporting proposition.’ It had become too easy. I always got my quarry.(pg 234)” This quote portrays Zaroff’s pride and skill in being a hunter, along with his detachment to the game he hunts. Preceding this event, Zaroff himself states, “God makes some men poets. Some He makes kings, some beggars. Me He...

...Origin of Inequality, he argues that natural inequalities directly lead to social inequalities. Rousseau attempts to define natural inequalities by first examining the origins of man. Immediately, Rousseau discounts Hobbes’ version of a state of nature, in which man is a violent being whose passions will ultimately cause him to live a life of desire and fear. While both philosophers agree that man, in a state of nature, is not naturally sociable, Rousseau argues that man is naturally peaceful, as a result of his ignorance. In the state of nature that Rousseau depicts, man and animal are both mechanical, and can only be differentiated by the unique way in which each develops. Even though man and animal are mechanical beings, Rousseau makes two important distinctions that separate them. He asserts that only man has the unique ability to act freely. This grants him the ability to choose, thus altering his behavior. Additionally, humans have, what he terms, “perfectibility, ” or the ability to be molded by one’s environment. Rousseau argues that the quality of perfectibility accounts for human development because it produces both enlightenment and virtue. It is with this quality, also, that propels humankind out of a state of nature into, what he terms a...

...The story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver is based around a narrator talking in first person about his feelings towards a relationship that his wife has with a blind man. We can extract a lot of the narrator’s emotions about the blind man, as well as the narrator’s personality because Carver uses different types of characterization. Carver’s uses first person narration as a method of revealing the narrator’s dynamic and complex characteristics. This can be seen through the use of language in the story and the change in the narrator’s perspective. Carver intentionally wrote this story in a first person point of view for the audience to grasp the complexity of the narrator’s personality through his language. When analyzing the personality of a central character, the language makes an impact on how the reader views the character. In this story, the narrator is the central character and all events, thoughts and feelings are shared directly from the narrator himself. Depending on how the passage is worded, a different personality can be inferred. For example, in the beginning of the story, the narrator has a habit of interrupting his own thoughts frequently with defensive statements and criticisms. When the narrator talks about his wife’s childhood sweetheart, he breaks in, “Why should he have a name? He was a childhood sweetheart, what more does he want?” (pg 729). A narration by a central character is essentially a thought process that readers have access to. The narrator’s language...

...The Angriest Man In America _______________ TERM PAPER Presented to Mrs. Richardson Billings West High School _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for Senior English _______________ by Hunter Dixon 08 December 2013 Hunter Dixon Mrs. Richardson Term Paper Final Draft 08 December 2013 The Angriest Man In America Without a doubt, Malcolm X is one of the most iconic figures in the history of our country. He is best remembered for the passion and power he displayed during all of his speeches, but his legacy has roots so much deeper than just that. He was the self-proclaimed “angriest man in America,” and he even openly called white people devils. Malcolm spent his whole life preparing himself for an inevitable death (Malcolm X, A Leader of Black Pride). He wanted to get his message out to the world before his time came, and it came much too early for a man like him. Malcolm X will live on throughout history because he was so passionate in his beliefs; though they changed often, he always stood up for what he believed was right, and there is nothing more respectable than that. Even if the man’s beliefs were radical at times. Malcolm’s birth name was Malcolm Little. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska on May 19, 1925 to parents Rev. Earl and Louise Little, the fourth of eight children (The Autobiography of Malcolm X). When he was about a year and a half old, his parents decided it was best to move out of Omaha after a Klu Klux...

...The concept of nationhood is a complex one. What makes a country a nation? What is a nation? In this essay, we will attempt to gain an understanding of what a nation is, and why Canada is in fact a nation, not merely because we meet certain criteria, but because we, as Canadians, believe it is so. To define the term “nation” is quite a challenging task. The Student’s Oxford Canadian Dictionary defines a nation as, “a community of people forming a state or inhabiting a territory” (Barber, et al., 2007). In contrast to many other resources, this definition is an extremely simple one. The same dictionary defines a state as “an organized political community under one government” (Barber, et al., 2007). By these definitions, Canada clearly classifies as a nation. By forming the federal government, Canada satisfies the government requirement, and by inhabiting the political boundaries of the country, we clearly satisfy the second requirement. According to this resource, Canada is without a doubt, a nation because the country has satisfied the dictionary’s requirement. Still, not all definitions are so clear. One of the most commonly accepted definitions of a nation is one that is ripe with complex and challenging requirements. These definitions often involve a group of people who share a common culture, ethnic origin and language, and they must either possess or be actively seeking an independent government (McKean, 2005). Even at a quick glance, we can see that Canada does not...

...Shakespeare’s Othello is a complex play full of deceit and dicey issues of race and gender where controversial marriage is destroyed by one man’s malicious revenge. The degree to which this work, written in the seventeenth century, can be read as a progressive play is a highly debatable and complex question. While it is undeniable that Othello offers a plethora of large scale progressive points, upon assessment of its details and more nuanced points, it is clear that this play is largely, even predominantly regressive with regards to it's presentation of race and gender. To begin, while this play may seem progressive in its navigation of gender, the reality is that beneath the surface level of occasional empowerment and equality, there is a strong undercurrent of sexism and problematic gender relations that go undisputed. The first issue regarding...

...(artificial intelligence) as compatible source for understanding the way of thinking and let alone machines is practically irrelevant according to John R. Searle (Searle 372). In terms of thinking and the aspects of a machine is far more complex than that of an ordinary strong AI. Machines in general have a great deal more going on than just a symbol manipulation system such of that as a strong AI. Ultimately the strong AI would then be incapable of being able to help understand machines and the aspect of thinking. Furthermore, the definition of “machine” needs to be reiterated in a simpler term to help explain this issue....

While he is not the main character in Maria Edgeworth's 1801 novel, Belinda, he is the main character within this passage as Edgeworth paints a clear picture of a complex man through literary techniques such as tone and perspective. Edgeworth's picture of Hervey starts with the basic strokes of tone. It begins with Edgeworth creating the fundamental design for the readers by explaining his intangible features. For instance, Hervey believes he is, "a man of genius," so he is, "entitled to be imprudent, wild, and eccentric" (5-8). Edgeworth explains to the readers that Hervey thinks highly of himself;...

...the development of the female character which strongly decides their fate based on Stephan Zweig’s novel: Letter from an Unknown Woman. Key words: father-absence， the Name-of-the-Father 1. Introduction Letter from an Unknown Woman is one of the most famous novels composed by Austrian writer Stephan Zweig. Its cyclically-told tale of romantic yearning and pining for love is embodied in the doomed, delusional relationship of the two romantic leads: a young neighbor girl's steadfast, sacrificial love for a self-absorbed, dilettante writer. Zweig uses the form of the woman’s monologue as a letter to show us a tragic story of her whole life: how she falls in love with her neighbor, keeps faith for him through her whole life while the man has never recognized or remembered her. Many critics believe that the root-cause of this love-tragedy lies in the indifference roused by materialism during people’s relationship. However apart from this, there is a psychological barrier in the character of this heroin, which should also pay the price. We can deduce from the novel that she is shy, sensitive, self-enclosed and holdfast to the people she loves. To some extent, her struggle with the fate seems to be pale for it is through this character...
