continent. The significance of the sepulchre's whiteness (and that of the longed-for ivory) lies in the contrasting images of a piece of white worsted and the starched white collars that Marlow comes upon in the jungles of the Congo. While the collars represent the violence, oppression, and hatred that dominate the European's treatment of the African, the white worsted is an attempt by ...
Upon hearing the term ‘Celtic,’ the first things that come to mind are the awe of their intricately patterned jewelry, lively music, and the flowing tunics they wore. These people are also known for being fierce warriors and for their superstitious, nature-centered religion. Celtic customs are still alive and well in places like Ireland and the western reaches of Britain, but within this essay I shall explore their origins and traditions. To start off, I will address the Tumulus peoples. They were
Hari Kumar Things Fall Apart 2/6/17 Passage Analysis Test 3. The interaction seen between Marlow and the African native on page 46 feels different. In past interactions, we have seen Marlow portray the natives as prehistoric, primitive, and unearthly: “this suspicion of not being human…they howled and leaped, and spun, and made horrid faces...ugly” (32). Marlow frequently dehumanizes the natives and makes them appear as savages. However, in this scene, he gives a more humanized description of the

In this experiment the purpose was to synthesize a synthetic dye, methyl orange, and test its effectiveness by performing a dye test with fabric. Methyl orange is an azo dye made from a synthesis reaction between sulfanilic acid and N,N-dimethylaniline. The preparation for this synthesis involves two steps: diazotization and coupling reaction. The diazotization step is the first step where the sulfanilic acid sodium salt reacts with the sodium nitrite in HCl to form an unstable diazonium salt. The
Even though shoes were quite sophisticated by the end of the Roman Empire, they became quite simple in Britain and Europe during the Dark Ages. Shoemakers made shoes for all social classes, including lords and ladies, nobles, and peasants. Pointed shoes and turned shoes were very popular. Shoemakers were important during the middle ages because there were many different types and processes of making shoes and they lived a difficult life. There were many types of shoes but pointed shoes were very
Joseph R. Grundy. The dramatic scale of later buildings stand as the source and monument to the wealth and power of Joseph Grundy (Owen 145). Joseph Grundy was the proprietor of the Bristol Worsted Mills, and one of the most prominent manufacturers and businessmen of Bucks County (Green 252). The Bristol Worsted Mills no longer run but the building is still standing. Bristol owes a lot to Joseph R. Grundy for his contributions to the people and the town itself. Joseph Ridgeway Grundy was born in

The Unworthy Friar It is hard to believe that the clergy, in the Middle Ages, was supposed to be the class for morality, yet the clergy was filled with corruption. Geoffrey Chaucer, author of The Canterbury Tales, does a miraculous job of highlighting the Middle Age clergy. Chaucer’s Prologue introduces the viewers to a number of pilgrims, who range from pure to unprincipled. The Friar is a magnificent example of how corrupt the clergymen can be at times. A friar is supposed to represent the Mendicant
settle the 1919 Boston police strike. The 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike demonstrated how violent measures can result from extreme wage reductions. Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1912 was a major textile center, a leader in the production of woolen and worsted goods. By 1900, mechanization in the textile industry had allowed factory owners to eliminate or reduce the number of skilled workers and to substitute large numbers of unskilled

The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss. In this book Seuss uses rhyming in every page making the story feel less serious, more funny and maybe even more interesting. For example, Seuss wrote, “We didn't do. And we didn't quite die. But we sure did get worsted, poor Daniel and I. VanItch was there too! And he said, the old pig, ‘The Boys in my Back Room invented this rig called the Eight-Nozzled, Elephant-Toted Boom-Blitz.

the audience to view the non-lover as the more accommodating choice. “But if you are persuaded by me, first, in my association with you I shall attend not to present pleasure, but also to the benefit that lies in store for the future; I’ll not be worsted by love, but in mastery of myself…” (Phaedrus p. 33). The lover is described, as someone who gets jealous, is obsessive or controlling, and desires physical appearance before the mind. Furthermore the lover, brings turmoil back, is overly sensitive
“I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.” These words were spoken by a very famed philosopher, who in his apology, or defense, claimed his innocence in many charges, including the corruption of youth. Of course, in his era, society was spilt between recognizing him with fame or infamy. This is noticed in two of the most insightful plays of Socrates’ life: Aristophanes’ Clouds and Plato’s Apology. Clouds introduces Socrates charges with Apology concluding his trial. Despite a

Homer and alike to immortalize the influence of Athens. “For Athens alone of her contemporaries is found when tested to be greater than her reputation, and alone gives no occasion to her assailants to blush at the antagonist by whom they have been worsted, or to her subjects to question her title by merit to rule. Rather, the admiration of the present and succeeding ages will be ours, since we have not left our power without witness, but have shown it by mighty proofs; and far from needing a Homer

Joseph Conrad’s novel, Heart of Darkness, is told in a narrative frame, which is one of the contributions to the complexity of the novel. Conrad employs an unknown narrator who tells the outside picture and Marlo, who tells the inside picture of the novel. Marlow narrates the darkness of the novel as he ventures of into the Congo River as an employee for “The Company” where he collects ivory and meets Kurtz. Upon Marlo’s adventure Conrad employs an extension of incredibly ambiguous, as well as blatantly
The Heart of Darkness is seen as a classic that many say shouldn’t be taught and many of those who think it should thinks the reader need to be very critical of it. The debate of it being taught stems from the debate of whether Conrad and his narrative are racist. Many have addressed the idea of racism, and furthermore how he depicts Africans. In my opinion, it is clearly a racist story, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it has racist tones especially when read by a modern day reader. On
The Real Heart Of Darkness Heart of Darkness is not only the title of Joseph Conrad’s novella, it is also a main theme. This is portrayed through different images of darkness, black and evil throughout his story. The setting is often used with images of darkness; even as Marlow tells his tale, it is night. This ‘darkness’ is inside many concepts of the novella such as Africa, women, black people, maps, the ivory trade corporation and Kurtz. Through these images on his journey, Marlow has a realization
