mind. Mistreated, beaten, and underestimated, young O-lan learned to work hard and became resigned to her fate. One day, the Old Mistress summoned her and told her that she was to be married to a poor farmer. The other slaves scoffed, but O-lan was grateful for a chance to be free - they married. O-lan vowed
and ties together the entire story. O-lan acts as a representation of the land. The novel goes beyond her superficial features which resemble that of the earth. O-lan is described as having a brown hue, a simple, intent disposition, and an abounding inner life. O-lan’s practicality, perseverance, and fertility all embody the giving facets of the land. Just like O-lan, the earth is constantly supporting life and showing its resourceful nature. The pivotal role O-lan and the land play both seem to taper
Wang was forced to marry an unappealing slave woman from the House of Hwang. His new wife’s name was O-Lan and she was the perfect wife to Wang. Wang was very happy with his wife, O-Lan, at this time because she was with a child and she was doing all the chores in the house and helping out in the fields with him. Wang became even more excited when O-Lan had the baby and it was a male. Wang and O-Lan were very resourceful with their land and only bought what they absolutely needed. They saved up enough
Hwang family dwells, and Wang Lung initially goes into the house to get O-lan who has been a slave in the family. Later, Wang Lung, as a man of fortune and land, rents the house to live there with his own family. (Un)Bound feet: Wang Lung is disappointed and repulsed when he realizes that O-lan's feet are not bound. O-lan was sold to the great house as a child, and thus, her mother did not have the time to bind her feet. Later, O-lan insists on tightly binding the feet of their second daughter so that
When Wang Lung’s daughter complained about getting her feet bound, she told him that “my mother said I was not to weep aloud because… you might say to leave me as I am and then my husband would not love me even as you do not love her” (249). Since O-Lan was ugly and had big feet, Wang Lung felt that she was not fitting for a rich man’s wife. When a man is rich, his wife does not need to be hard working. If she is not beautiful, her husband may seek pleasure elsewhere.
Nevertheless, Wang Lung learns to love his wife, O-lan. After becoming the rich man everyone comes to know, Wang Lung becomes disinterested by the shops he had always visited as a poor man. He begins to explore and finds a teahouse where there are beautiful women he thought only existed in dreams. He goes home and realizes how dissatisfied he is with the way O-lan looks. Wang Lung thinks he deserves a more beautiful woman now that he is a rich man. O-lan is a great wife and both were happy and relied
description is O-lan’s, Wang Lung’s wife. “Wang Lung turned to the woman and looked at her for the first time. She had a square, honest face, a short, broad nose with large black nostrils, and her mouth was wide as a gash in her face. Her eyes were small and of a dull black color, and were filled with some sadness that was not clearly expressed. It was a face that seemed habitually silent and unspeaking, as though it could not speak if it would.” (p.19) As I was reading this I got the impression that O-lan
On the one hand, the woman's situation is clearly, almost gruesomely, presented: Chinese village society is patriarchal, oppressive, and stultifying to women (Hayford, 1994, 25). The clearest illustration of this occurs through O-lan, the wife of Wang Lung. O-lan comes about in the first chapter of the novel. At the age of ten, her parents sell her off to the Great House of Hwang, where the village's wealthiest landowner resides.
Still he was her killer, he killed her. Not only in person but in the inside. It is said that you heal overtime, but every second of every day O-Lan was killed inside just by seeing her husband with another
In her award winning novel, The Good Earth, Pearl S. Buck uses O-lan and Wang Lung to create a metaphor about love and affection. She uses the theme of the care and love going a one way road throughout the book by making Olan an ugly character with a desire for love. When Olan died, she passed on all of her values, such as blind loyalty, being a hard worker, and caring love, to Wang Lung. The first of Olan’s morals is her blind loyalty. She has never disobeyed the wishes of her husband. For

Buck, Wang Lung does the opposite. At the beginning of the novel, when he is still a young man, Wang Lung is an individual who is very moral and has a strong sense of his values, most of which are traditional family values that have been passed

the powerful local Hwang family. The Hwangs sell Wang a 20-year-old slave named O-lan who becomes his wife. O-lan and Wang Lung are pleased with each other, although they exchange few words and although Wang is initially disappointed that O-lan does not have bound feet. Together, Wang Lung and O-lan have a cultivate, beautiful and profitable harvest from their land. O-lan becomes pregnant, and Wang Lung is overjoyed when O-lan’s first child is a son. Meanwhile, the powerful Hwang family lives decadently
Area Network (LAN) is a moderate to high-speed flexible data communications system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired Local Area Network (Kolawole, 2014). In wireless LAN transmission making use of radio frequency to communicate over the air eliminates or at least minimizes the use of physically wired networks. From the beginning, IEEE 802.11 was designed to look and feel like IEEE 802 wired networks to include supporting all of the protocols and LAN management tools

While each building may have several discrete LANs within it, each building represents
Wi-Fi technology and its application in Business organizations Objective To understand the Wi-Fi technology and its applications in Indian business organisations Introduction In today’s high-tech world connectivity to networks is extremely important for organizations to survive. Networking is possible of various machines like computers, laptops, cell phones etc. This term paper talks of Wi-Fi, the wireless technology that allows internet connection to be broadcasted through radio waves
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The breakthrough of wireless technology has introduced new possibilities for healthcare. These wireless networks allow connection and control between computers, handheld devices, printers, scanners, and other peripherals without the hassle of cords and cables. They provide crucial mobility that is necessary in the modern hospital. In areas of constant activity, such as the ER, the ICU, and the surgical recovery room, immediate information such as a patients test results would
Wireless LANs have expanded greatly and rapidly in recent years. The expansio¬¬¬¬¬n has caused many benefits to the end users but at the same time it has introduced problem of overlapping BSS (Basic Service Set) where BSS (i.e. WLAN cells) is fundamental block of IEEE 802.11 WLAN architecture. OBSS occurs due to two or more unrelated BSSs are used at the same place, at the same time and with the same frequency channel. With the expansion of channel bandwidth to 80 MHz (may be, 160 MHz) in upcoming

For example, in Multimedia University (MMU) all networks inside our campus are connected through Local Area Network (LAN) to access MMLS for example. While when connected to outside through internet, we call it Wide Area Network (WAN). We are connected to the world via various network topologies, such as Point-to-point, Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, Tree, Hybrid, and last but
In today’s day and age with the vast amount of technology that surrounds us on day-to-day basis has become somewhat overwhelming for quite a lot of individuals. There is an ongoing back and forth game between everyday people that abide by the laws and ethics of civilization and underground hackers and scammers with a sole mission of making everything in an individual life a living nightmare. There are ways to diminish the potential for digital theft, harassment and financial repercussions, but with
