  • Examples Of Bureaucrats Remain Fixated On Protecting Children By Allan Richarz

    1735 Words  | 7 Pages

    In the final section of the article, Richarz appeals to the emotion of fear by entitling the section “A generation of anxiety-ridden children”. This appeals to fear because “anxiety-ridden” is a phrase that has a negative meaning and would incite a sense of fear, especially when describing a generation of children. Furthermore, in this section Allan Richarz describes children with phrases such as “fearful of their own shadow”, that something “deprives children of important learning experiences”, “helplessness” and “smothered and fearful.” These are all phrases that have a negative meaning and things that no parent ever wants for their child. Finally, in the concluding sentence and title, Allan Richarz incites fear through describing childhood as a “terrifying and life-threatening condition”.

  • Wasteland Reaction Paper

    1283 Words  | 6 Pages

    Wasteland is a documentary by Lucy Walker that depicts the lives of selected garbage pickers in Jardim Gramacho – a massive dumpsite found in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. The film is about Vik Muniz’s 2-year journey back to his home country seeking to give back to an impoverished community through making images out of an unusual material – trash. The film featured 7 garbage pickers from the landfill, and each has a story that brought them to their current places. One unique thing about the whole creative process is that the pickers themselves became part of it. Vik imagined that as they work on their own and each other’s images, the pickers will not only show themselves to a broader world that is for now comfortably oblivious of their existence, but also see themselves differently (Fuchs, 2010).

  • The Waste Land Analysis

    T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land” is a complex and fragmented poem that underwent major revisions before it was published in 1922. The published version we see and read today is considerably shorter in comparison to what Eliot had originally written. According to James Torrens’s article “The Hidden Years of the Waste Land Manuscript,” Eliot had mailed “54 pages of The Waste Land, including the unused parts” to John Quinn, a “corporation lawyer in New York City,” which had shortly disappeared after Quinn’s death in July of 1924 (Cuddy 60). Eliot’s “lost” pages were not uncovered until the early 1950s (Ford). In 1971, a facsimile of the original drafts of “The Waste Land,” edited by Eliot’s second wife, Valerie, was published and revealed how much of the poem was edited and compressed by Eliot himself, along with Ezra Pound, who played a significant role in the editing of the poem, and his first wife, Vivien (Ford).
