“Though we travel the world over
to find the beautiful, we must carry it
with us or we find it not”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
As stated by Emerson, beauty cannot be found unless carried within one’s self first. In the novel by Alice Walker, “The Color Purple”, Celie finds out that beauty is not real unless it is first found within, so that that beauty felt can reflect for others to see. [Celie went through traumatic struggles before she ever felt beautiful starting with the treatment of influential men in her life. Although she felt more connection with women in her life, her early encounters with Shug greatly accounted for her self worth at the time. However, Celie could not be beautiful to others unless she found beauty within herself, for herself.]
For the majority of the novel, Celie was never told she was or could be beautiful by men, she was told how much of nothing she was to them. Beauty was something Celie learned was for women who enjoyed having sex, something for women who had confidence, which was something she could never feel for herself. She was constantly mis treated and told what to do by men like her father and Albert. The book opens with her being raped by her father. He tells her to tell nobody but God, and she begins to be scared of saying “no” to men, she feels she needs to take the abuse, Celie would “be wood” because wood does not feel pain. Her father dominates and makes Celie feel like she was bad, like she did something to deserve this. She felt she was worth little because she should allow her father to do thing like this to her. She felt controlled, dominated and therefore subordinate to men. Her self worth had gone from little down to nothing, and she was told by her father how ugly she was.
Not only had her father told her she was ugly, Shug Avery also took it into her own hands when attempting to make Celie feel ugly. Celie began to feel even worse when she first met Shug Avery, and the excitement she had to see Shug, was ruined as a dark shadow hovered over Celie, making her feel more ugly than she had ever thought. Shug Avery was spoken about by Albert like some kind of Goddess. She was the epitome of beauty for Celie because Albert had spoken about her so fondly.
Celie is a victim of mistreatment and isolation in a world that considers women inferior to men. To instill fear and obedience in women, men conduct themselves in a hostile manner towards women. They manage women similar to slaves and sexually dominate them. When Celie is barely fourteen her stepfather, causing her to become pregnant twice, violates her multiple times. In a letter to God, Celie writes “I cry. He start to choke me, saying You better shut up and git used to it” (Walker 11). Intended merely to satisfy Pa, Celie...
The Articles of Confederation do vary from the New Constitution of 1787, Changes were made, and many felt the changes needed and would be the key to the success of the United States of America. (Daniel, P.239, 2010) Where these changes needed, or would the United States be fine without them? Are the changes significant enough to achieve the goals the Confederate Congress were reaching for? These are questions that can be answered by reviewing the strong and weak points of both the Articles of Confederation and the New Constitution of 1787.
There were many differences between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution. At the end of the American Revolution the free states needed some sort of control that would generate to a unified country. Issues arose such as: How should power be divided between local and national governments? How should laws be made, and by whom? Who should be authorized to govern those laws? How could the government be designed to protect the unalienable individual rights? Their first attempt at solving this issue was the Articles of Confederation, which was a failure for the most part, but not completely. After the failure of the articles, the state delegates tried to revise the articles, but instead, constructed the Constitution. There were so many changes made and very little remained the same.
Anti –federalist believed that with out the bill of rights, the national government would became a to strong it would threating the americans peoples rights and libertys. Due to prior american revolution, ant-federalist did not forget what they fought for an believed that with a stronger national government, the president could become kind if he wanted. During this time people still feared a strong central government, due to british occupany of the states. Concidently the of people who wanted the bill of rights and were anti-federalist were famers and the working class, as to the fedarlist were extremely rich and powerful people Thomas Jeferson who was a active anti-federalist once wrote to james Madison A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inferences. (Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. ME 6:388, Papers
All PA programs in the United States are accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant. Before the admission process to a PA school, the typical candidate usually hold a bachelor’s degree with around 45 months of experience in health care. The bachelor years is usually 4 years but there are acceleration programs that have a full 3 year time span. In order to be a competitive candidate for PA school, one should have their core science classes in good terms. Anything below a B does not look well and would bring their GPA down. Maintaining a competitive GPA of 3.5 or above is ideal, but there are other factors that can contribute greatly of getting accepted into PA school than just grades alone. Outside of school experience with communication is greatly encouraged due to the nature of the PA’s job where a great deal of interaction with patients is essential. PA school look at the balance between academic quality and extracurricular activities. After getting accepted into a PA school, the programs run approximately for 2-3 years. Its tuition can range between 30-40 thousands dollar per didactic year. There are many types of financial assistance available, however, to help fund those who have financial difficulties. Financial aid should be considered around the same time as applying to the PA program and the American
While the Federalists believe in a strong, central government, the Anti-Federalists believe in the shared power of state and national governments to maintain the rights of all Americans .The Anti-Federalist favored a confederated government were the state and national governments could share power ,protect citizen’s freedom ,and independence. The Anti-Federalists found many problems in the Constitution. Many were concerned the central government take was all individual rights. Anti-Federalist primarily consisted of farmers and tradesmen and was less likely to be a part of the wealthy elite than were members of their rival the Federalist. Many Anti-federalists were local politicians who feared losing power should the Constitution be ratified and argued that senators that served for too long and represented excessively large territories would cause senators to forget what their responsibilities were for that state. They argued that the Constitution would give the country an entirely new and unknown form of government and saw no reason in throwing out the current government. Instead, they believed that the Federalists had over-stated the current problems of the country and wanted improved characterization of power allowable to the states. They also maintained that the Framers of the Constitution had met as a discriminatory group under an order of secrecy and had violated the stipulations of the Articles of Confederation in the hopes for the for ratification of the Constitution. The Anti-Federalist were sure that the Constitution would take away the rights of the American citizens and fought hard to stop the ratification on the
Although he does not rebel directly against Big Brother as one would imagine, he does rebel against its ideas. This occurs when he discovers that the girl that he initially thought was stalking him tells him that she loves him. After only being able to talk to her in a business-like manner in crowded areas to avoid detection, they meet out in the woods one day where they are free from The Party 's censorship and have sex. Since the government tells everybody that the act of sexual intercourse should strictly happen for reproduction and not enjoyment, he sees this as an act of rebellion. However, towards the end of the novel he becomes captured and tortured to the point where he truly believes that he loves Big Brother, and fails at changing anything. Going back to Fahrenheit 451, a similar rebellion occurs. Guy Montag (the main character) works as a firefighter who has one job: burn down anyone 's house that has possession of a book. As he 's going through his daily routine though, he begins to wonder what books contain that make them so evil. Out of curiosity, he steals a book from one of the houses they had to burn down, and brings it home. Reading the book makes him much more curious – an extremely dangerous trait to a utopia. Later in the novel though, his house becomes the next target, and gets burnt down. He flees the house, and eventually escapes the manhunt for him by floating down a river, until he meets some other rebels living out in the woods. Throughout both of these novels, rebellion appears a lot, but each book has different outcomes from

The United States Constitution and the Articles have several ever present difference that some considered to be too radical. In terms of levying taxes, the Articles Congress could request states to pay taxes while with the Constitution; the Congress has the right to levy taxes on individuals. The Articles government had no court system while the Constitution created a court system to deal with issues between citizens and states. The lack of provisions to regulate interstate trade the Articles possessed created large economic problems, leading into a depression in the mid 1780's. The Constitutional Congress has the right to regulate trade between states. The Constitution has a strong executive branch headed by our president who chooses cabinet and has checks on power of the other two branches; the Articles had no executive with power. The president merely presided over Congress. The Articles took almost 5 years to ratify due to the fact that 13/13 colonies needed to amend the Articles before it could go into affect, with the Constitution, 2/3 of both houses of Congress plus ¾ of the states legislatures or national convention had to approve. During the years under the Articles, foreign soldiers occupied US forts during our early years, we were unable to force them out due to the fact that Congress could not draft troops, and they depended on the states to contribute to the forces. Under the Constitution we have the ability to raise an army to deal with any sort of military situations. In terms of passing laws, under the Articles 9/13 states needed to approve legislation while under the Constitution, 50% plus 1 of both houses plus the signature of the president is needed to pass a law. The Articles had a huge problem when it came to state representation. Under the Articles every state only received one vote, regardless of its size, this hindered the power of the larger states. With the Constitution, the upper house (Senate) has 2 votes and the lower house (House of Representatives) is based on population. When two states had disputes the Articles had a complicated system of arbitration to go through before any resolution was reached, under the Constitution, the federal Court system handles disputes between states.
Our powerpoint states that the Federalists were led by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. The Anti-Federalists on the other hand, did not agree. The powerpoint mentions that they attacked every area of the Constitution, but two of its features attracted the most criticism. One was the extremely increased powers of the central government. The second included the lack of “bill of rights” that would have provided necessary liberties including freedom of speech and religion.
Four-year colleges’ tuition is rising by each year, so college education would be a heavy financial burden for people who pay tuition and housing during school years in debt. They could not afford school and housing expense for various reasons, such as low-income family background, but they still did it by taking loans because they hope that they could gain more benefits by doing such a investment. However, it would not be a wise investment when the person could not clear off the costs of investing, and many colleges graduates would not pay off their students loans in five years after graduation. A famous journalist Edward McClelland says “In a recent survey, 24 percent defined the American Dream as ‘not being in debt.’ They are not trying to get ahead. They are just trying to get zero” (553). Being debt would hold back those people by not achieving all the other goals freely, including their American dreams, and they have to delay everything excepting paying debt first. Certainly, believing that attending college would always make individuals better off is misleading, but investing college education by being debt in ten years would only be
Women have battled for centuries to be equivalent to men. In “The Color Purple," Alice Walker illustrates the theme of women’s heartache, racist acts, and complications of a day to day woman. The Color Purple took place during a demeaning era to not only African American women but African Americans in general were treated inhumane. African American women submitted themselves to controlling men due to the belief of that’s how it should be. During this time, women were used for manual and sexual labor. They were referred as one’s property, hardly spoken of or treated like human-beings. Women faced lack of self-love and identity therefore the definition of love was clouded.
First of all, the idea of beauty is not only based on a physical appearance of a person or object; beauty comes from the inner self. Natural and real beauty creates from within the heart of individuals. When a real beauty develops, it is expressed as a charming, attractive, and glamorous soul that is hard for one to contain. If a lady is beautiful on the inside, she is also beautiful on the outside because her body is an expression of soul and mind. Inner beauty creates a positive attitude towards oneself, others, and the environment. One real life example about inner beauty is the story of Chantelle Winnie. Chantelle was born with a skin condition vitiligo, which makes her different from other people.
Beauty and the Beast is probably one of the most well known fairy tales that the Grimms’ reproduced. In it’s original form it was a long, drawn out story that was catered to adults. The Grimms’ changed the story to be more understood by children and made it short and to the point. Unlike many of the other fairy tales that they reproduced, Beauty and the Beast contains many subtle symbols in its purest form. It shows a girl and how she transfers to a woman; it also shows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The one major thing that separates this story from all the rest is that Beauty gets to know the Beast before marrying him.
Effective entrepreneurship recognizes potential business opportunities. Superior to a great many people, they concentrate on circumstances rather than issues and attempt to gain from disappointment.
