Saba Mirfatahi Professor Bourget English 1130 October 6th 2015 Mitford: Analysis of “Behind the Formaldehyde Curtain” Jessica Mitford’s, “Behind the Formaldehyde Curtain,” is an assertive account of the true realisms involving embalming. Jessica Mitford takes a bold stand against the funeral industry and states that people are “blissfully ignorant” (Mitford 310) on preserving people. Ultimately, Jessica Mitford’s argumentative essay is successful due to her very somber but informative and organized tone, her style using dark vivid imagery and quotations make her claims credible. One of the way’s in which Mitford’s argument is effective is through the use of her sarcastic tone. There are many words to describe Mitford’s tone; cocky, blunt,
At this point in the story, the President had just signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law, on page 85, Lewis explains the Civil Rights Act and what didn’t go into effect, “ But -- as I had said at the march on washington -- it did not ban “literacy tests” and other voting restrictions.” The use of historical events strengthens the argument because it shows how things changed in the past but things that only effected the African Americans a little bit. This piece of evidence shows that African Americans had little to no freedom because of all the restrictions and beating and killings everyone would do if the African Americans tried to do anything they weren't allowed to do. The first and second piece of evidence, and theme is linked because it shows how African Americans had a lot of restrictions on what they could do, they didn’t have much
The story touches on things such as poverty, alcoholism, bullying, abuse, etc. It is an extremely eye-opening, humbling book that shows you that you can change your life around no matter how you were raised. This book is relatable to many people, including children and teenagers who are or may have gone through some of the same things that Jeannette and her siblings did. The theme that most resonated with me while reading the book was alcoholism. It is something that has been a part of my family life for a long time.
This shows the narrator's desire to be independent and powerful, but also realizing how difficult it can be to do so in a society that doesn't often respect such traits in women. This metaphor highlights the struggle between the narrator's desire to establish her identity and strength and the obligations put on her by her parents and
The sky broke open and the ground shook, the world changed drastically and would never be the same again. The people got up and headed toward the road, they headed toward a normal life. They split up and waved goodbye to the others as they made their way. They said goodbye to people they knew in order to make for themselves a new life. They went on to live their lives as freed men, as human beings.
She is reminded of the violence that torn not only communities apart but families as well. How the social norms of the day restricted people’s lives and held them in the balance of life and death.

The story takes place at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in America, when desegregation is finally achieved. Flannery O’Connor’s use of setting augments the mood and deepens the context of the story. However, O’Connor’s method is subtle, often relying on connotation and implication to drive her point across. The story achieves its depressing mood mostly through the use of light and darkness in the setting.
The book The Cellar by Natasha Preston is an interesting thriller that accurately depicts the goals of insane people. In the book, a thirty-year-old man named Colin Brown, who suffered from schizophrenia, kidnapped multiple girls. He went as far as changing their names to better fit how he viewed them.

It begins with the government working against the protagonist’s aims and desires and only focusing on what they believe is the correct way to deal with the post-war. Most of the time, the protagonist acts different than the rest of the community making him or her a risk or threat to the government. The obvious result of this situation, for the governments, is to eliminate the risk or destroy it by any means necessary. The oppression is frequent and common. It always results in the loss of civil liberties, sexual freedom, and privacy.
This story is one of many used to teach children that either are taking a Political Science class or simplify a Literature class. I think teachers chose this book for their students to open their eyes to an idea of both the past and the future way of thinking about government,

The primary an ideological which battle throughout the novel is Fascism and Anarchy, but the true struggle lies deeper than that. What we really is at the heart of the narrative and the importance of the personal accountability on the part of the individual, and in a grander scope, on the part of collective. Freedom is an easy when it isn’t challenged; when it is a considered right,as we take it for granted. However, in times when fascism comes into power and freedoms are threatened, and one must fight for their freedom at all costs or abdicate hence allowing those who threaten it to take it from us. The message of the novel is that we must always strive for freedom, and even if that freedom is dangerous.
