I like how Isnard was punishing in the end; the worker won’t go back to work and demand Isnard has to leave the town. Isnard characterized as a devious person that will do anything to fulfill his needs. Isnard tries to pay off Doudou so he can help the strikers to go back to work. Doudou did not agree, and Isnard feels the hatred in his heart, which I think this is the reason that he decided to kill two people, little Ka, and Sene, and Gorgui was wounded. This violent act also shows the cruel oppression as inequality in which that is something people are fighting against. Eventually, Isnard was shot to death, and to me, her death shows the justice and freedom will stand out in the end. Moreover, there is no room for racism, it is despicable
have chosen it for my report. Finally, I will give my reactions to the novel
...ering the thoughts and opinions of their employee. On the other side, despite the hash and dangerous working environment, the workers could not quit. The jobs at the factories were their main source of income and without it they would suffer form hunger and poverty. Hence, the workers at that time were tangled in the system that only supports a small proportion of the population, the upper class.
This book was fantastic. This book had many things to learn and think about. There were many things but they were only two who made me think what they meant and why were they important. First thing, was that about three thousand boys and young men from the refugee camps would be chosen to go live in America. Second thing, how Salva will use his uncle’s advice to keep going onto his future.
It emphasizes the importance of truth and that the truth with eventually come out. Throughout the film Martin’s imposter, Arnaud lied about who he was and for awhile was able to trick an entire village. At the end the truth came out, and Arnaud was executed for his dishonesty, emphasizing that honesty is and was a very important part of a person and a society. Another theme is the importance of family and loyalty to family. Even after Martin had disappeared and abandoned the family for nearly ten years, they still were excited about his arrival and welcomed him with open arms. While some of his family was hesitant and upset about his disappearance, they were still loyal to him. His wife, Betrande had also been loyal to him while he was missing, although he had left her to raise her son without a father. Another theme that was emphasized was about greed, and how being greedy would eventually get you nowhere in life. Arnaud wanted a wife, and a family, and land of his own. Arnaud of course did not want to do this the right way and instead let his greed get the best of him, leading him to do things that were unconstitutional and morally wrong. In the end his greediness got him nowhere and he was executed, losing the family and life that he had stolen from someone
Savage Inequalities written by Jonathan Kozol allows individuals to understand the conditions of several public schools in America. Kozol visited many school in approximately thirty neighborhoods between the years of 1988 and 1990. During his visits he found that there was a wide difference in the conditions between the schools in poor internal city communities and schools in the wealthier communities. It becomes clear that there is a huge contrast within the public school system of a country which claims to provide equal opportunity for all. Many children in wealthier communities begin their lives with an education that is far more advanced than children in poor communities. Therefore the lack in equal opportunity from the start is created.
...ve-it” basis. Many of the workers were injured or killed in industrial accidents each year because of the unsafe conditions they worked in. men and women weren’t the only ones to work in the harsh conditions there was child labor they were used to move, clean, or fix large machines since they were so small and fit between the parts. The kids that worked were all under the age of fifteen, they missed air, sunshine, fresh air, play, and the chance to attend school and get an education.
I really did like this book. I had no clue that the history of the city I live in was anything like this. There was Action, Suspense, Drama, Romance, Excitement, this book had it all. My favorite Character is probably Sodapop, because he looks out for his brothers and is very caring. Everybody likes Sodapop and he is responsible, and has fun while at the same time. My least favorite player is probably Johnny. He is kind of quiet and insecure. I used to be very quiet and I hated it. I know I can’t really blame him, because of his dark past, but during the story, he was hard to fall in love with as a character.
The documentary strived to show us how factories were corrupt that they couldn’t provide good working conditions for the workers until we lost people. This documentary is about the tragic fire that took place on March 25, 1911 in the Triangle factory. We can clearly see through this documentary that these people didn’t matter to the factory owners because their needs were not met. The documentary shows that the year before the fire took place the workers led a strike asking for better working conditions, but obviously their voices were not heard. After the fire took place this is when factories started improving working conditions. It is sad to learn that it took 146 lives of innocent people in order for factory owners to be convinced that they need to improve the poor working
There has always been inequality in society. Whether it is between genders or races it has always been a major problem and played important roles in everyday lives. As time has gone on, groups have been created in hope of ending these inequalities and creating a more peaceful society. In some ways feminism has done amazing things in creating more equal rights for women. Though there are still major problems that need to be worked on and feminism seems to not be working as well anymore. Due to the extreme gender inequality that exists we must create a feminist mindset where in society ignores labels, embrace more than just the “essential feminist”, and relieves people of societal pressures.
In conclusion the ironic result achieved by Lou is that through his selfish views, and little consideration to The Little Seamstress, he lost her by opening her eyes to the world of individualism painted in her mind by the words of Balzac. Lou had achieved exactly what Chairman Mao feared in the first place (an uprising of individuals) and that was why books were banned. Through out this novel it shows that the human imagination cannot be confined in the small box known as communism, and that is why it doesn't work. People are always going to find a way out, change the rules, to escape, and live as individuals.
The main themes are that you shouldn’t judge people by their appearances. Just because you are rich and belong to a tough gang does not mean you are cruel like the other gang members. You shouldn’t carry any harmful weapons and should not escape from the police.
...o one in its industry wants to speak up about. Schlosser wanted to inform the audience and make sure that those conditions that low wage workers are oppressed by are revealed to the rest of the society and taken into consideration. He was extremely successful in displaying this throughout his novel because all the details he includes to pull on the heart strings of the reader. Overall, he demonstrated wide writing skills that are unique to only Schlosser himself.
When the chapters set in France are read, they make me feel as though I am with the characters, in the midst of the revolution, thinking their thoughts, walking through the streets of Paris with them. I see the same people, who scare you with their dancing and howls. One such example is The Carmagnole, the Revolutionaries who dance through the streets wailing and screaming, thirsty for the blood of the aristocrats.
...le contradicts the pleasant ambience of the town. When the foreshadowing job reaches its goal, it leads to the climatic point of the story. Through this climax, the reader sees the cruelty of the residents and how they undervalue life for this particular ritual.
