  • Reality And Fictionism In Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five

    762 Words  | 2 Pages

    Slaughterhouse-Five is a story of Billy Pilgrim 's capture by the Nazi Germans during the last years of World War II. Throughout the narrative, excerpts of Billy’s life are portrayed from his pre-war self to his post-war insanity. Billy is able to move both forward and backwards through his life in a random cycle of events. Living the dull life of a 1950s optometrist in Ilium, New York, he is the lover of a provocative woman on the planet Tralfamadore, and simultaneously an American prisoner of war in Nazi Germany. While I agree with Christopher Lehmann-Haupt that Slaughterhouse-Five effectively combines fact and fiction, I argue that the book is more centralized around coping.

  • Expansionism in the late 19th/ Early 20th century

    703 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout history, the United States had come off as a stubborn nation that would take what they wanted at any cost. This was prevalent in both cases of expansion as the Americans risked war and national safety for the sake of gaining land, or even merely for proving a point. During the early years of expansion, the Americans had pushed aside the Native Americans and whoever else inhabited the land they wanted. They believed that the land was rightfully theirs and that every one else was merely squatting on their territory. This idea was continued into the early twentieth century as the Americans looked to the oceans for new territories to their kingdom. This idea is greatly exemplified in document 'E', in which Senator Albert J. Beveridge delivers a speech to Congress, saying that, "...and thanksgiving to Almighty God that He has marked us as His chosen people, henceforth to lead in the regeneration of the world..."

  • The 'New' Expansionism Ideas of the United States (1880-1914)

    1262 Words  | 3 Pages

    The departure from previous expansionism (up to 1880) developed alongside the tremendous changes and amplifications of United States power (in government, economics, and military.) The growth in strength and size of the United States navy gave the country many more opportunities to grow, explore, and expand both in size and money. The better range and build of ships allowed the U.S. to enter the Far East, lands of the Philippines and China, all to increase trade and to create an influx of commerce. Because of the huge production of agricultural goods and the need for outputs and markets for these goods, the United States needed to find other places for shipping, trading, buying, and selling, and these areas of interest were just the place. The idea of Manifest Destiny and placing faith in God also allowed the United States to expand farther out into what once were unattainable lands. Document C, written by Mahan the naval writer, explains the three necessary obligations of sea power, as well as expressing the extreme importance of the navy during late 1800’s expansionism. During this time period and before, it was believed that whoever retained control of the seas would maintain control over the lands. Additionally, the speech by Senator Albert Beveridge (Document E) further states the importance of the U.S. expanding into the Pacific Ocean (especially the Phillipines) and trading with eastern countries: “the pacific is the ocean of the commerce of the future...the power that rules the Pacific is the power that rules the world… forever be the American Republic.

    They were here when the Declaration of Independence was founded. In this speech he uses a lot of emotional appeal and parallelism. When he starts to say, “I have a Dream” that was parallelism and it had a lot of emotional appeal as well. Saying the words “I have a Dream” in every paragraph you can see the parallelism. Then in those paragraphs some of the stories are sad and get to your heart, like “I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists…” since we know what was going on back then all the hate and murders that were getting free of. Also with his speech the use of parallelism makes the points become very distinct and make them stand out. The words “go back”, “we can never”, “let freedom ring”, and many other examples are used to enforce his ideas. Then there is his “Letter from Birmingham City Jail” which uses a lot of logical and ethical appeals, but also has a lot of parallelism. In this letter he uses logical appeal when stating “You may well ask, “Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches, etc.? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are exactly right in your call for negotiation. Indeed, this is the purpose of direct

    This is done by using symbols such as flags or symbols that are religious in nature that an audience can identify with. Enfolding oneself with an icon such as a flag can make this person feel that they are in a position of power or have achieved a certain status. When this has been achieved people tend to become excited and captivated by the fallacy the speaker is manipulating them into believing. Therefore, Beveridge sways his audience with symbols of the flag, God, and the love they feel for their country. By doing this, he hopes that his audience will feel that the citizens of smaller countries would benefit from our form of democracy and welcome it with open
