The Judges Wife Casilda as an Evolutionary Character Essay

Behind Two Strong Men is an Even Stronger Woman Sigmund Freud said, â€Å"A woman should soften but not weaken a man.† This quote exemplifies the character Casilda from Isabel Allende’s short story â€Å"The Judge’s Wife†. Although not seen by all as a main character, Casilda is the strongest and most evolutionary character of the short story. â€Å"The Judge’s Wife† is an exceptional tale that follows the progression of characters as they fight against their predetermined destinies and how they are viewed in others’ eyes. Casilda is a catalyst for the evolution of almost every character in the story. Not only does her character grow in â€Å"The Judge’s Wife†, but she is also a medium for the growth of the two other main characters in the story, Judge†¦show more content†¦After three days, the priest and a group of Catholic women go to Casilda to plead for Juana the Forlorn’s life. They feel that she is j ust a poor old woman who does not deserve this kind of torture simply to try to capture her son. She hears their request and sets forth for the town, taking her children dressed in their Sunday best, with a basket of food and a bottle of fresh water. The soldiers try to keep her away, but once Judge Hidalgo hears his children’s cries, he realizes the error of his ways. Judge Hidalgo personally comes down and unlocks the cage, freeing Juana the Forlorn. Again, Casilda makes him a softer, but not weaker, man. This softening is not wasted on Judge Hidalgo alone. Casilda also has an immense impact on the character of Nicolas Vidal. Nicolas Vidal is the â€Å"villain† of â€Å"The Judge’s Wife†. Born to a prostitute whom tried numerous times to achieve a self-abortion during her pregnancy, Nicolas was prophesied at birth to â€Å"lose his head over a woman† (Allende 1227). Juana may not have successfully expelled the growing child from her body, but she feared that the numerous attempts and infallible techniques must have â€Å"tempered his soul to the hardness of iron† (Allende 1227). Before he reached his teens, his face carried with it the scars of knife fights with other children. Nicolas became the leader of a

Displacement and Struggle Eviction †Free Samples to Students

Question: Discuss about the Displacement and Struggle Eviction. Answer: Introduction: Court and non-judicial tribunals are two bodies, which have been given different status under the law, even when they perform the judiciary functions which have been put in forward of these bodies and also, both these bodies can work in similar or the very same areas. The Civil and Administrative Tribunal of New South Wales is deemed as the main body which works on resolution of disputes which relate to the residential tenancy in between the landlords and their tenants (NCAT, 2017a). The New South Wales District Court is deemed as an intermediate court which is present under the judiciary hierarchy of that area (District Court, 2017). NCAT, i.e., the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal is the example of a non-judicial tribunal, whereas the NSW District Court is the example of a court, and both of these work in NSW as a common jurisdiction. Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act, 2013, through its section 32 allows the individuals the right to make an appeal against the decision given by NCAT and the same is made to its internal appeal panel (NCAT, 2017b). Though, for NCAT, the doctrine of precedent does not apply. Both District Court of NSW and NCAT have right of appeal. In the former, the appeals are made from the NSW Lower Court, and for the verdict of District Court, the appeal has to be made to the NSW Supreme Court (Law Gov Pool, 2014a). Reliance on the precedent rule is made by NSW District Court where the judges of this court apply the ruling given by the judges of higher court, particularly when the issues and the facts of the matter are identical (Law Gov Pool, 2014b). Further, for this court, based on its position of hierarchy, the NSW Supreme Court rulings have to be adopted. There is a stark difference between the two bodies running in the NSW jurisdiction. The NSW District Court makes it critical for the appellant or the plaintiff, to be represented through a solicitor or a lawyer. Though. NCAT does not have this stipulation and the person raising the claim can represent themselves. NCAT is also a less formal body for solving a dispute and also has lesser costs in comparison to the NSW District Court. The reason for this stems from the preference of the tribunals over the courts, as a result of savings in terms of money and time, for solving a dispute through a tribunal, where the other option is to initiate court litigation (Olivia, 2011). The NSW District Court also has the authority of making the decisions on a number of issues. However, NCAT only deals with the issues relating to tenancy only (NCAT, 2017a). Apart from the differentiations, there is a lot of similarity between the two. The rules of evidence are deemed as a sacred thing under both the bodies, where the tribunal however has a relaxed approach. Also, both these bodies are deemed as autonomous for the executive bodies and the legislative bodies of authority. Both of these are deemed as open and the public can access them for getting the matter solved. Also, there is a need for giving reasons to the decision in order for upholding the transparency of that decision. At last, the decision of both these bodies can be appealed against (Olivia, 2011). Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992) 175 CLR617 is a landmark case as it deals with the native title rights and were recognized for the first time by the HCA, i.e., High Court of Australia (The University of Melbourne, 2011). Mabo saw the court stating the terra nullius doctrine was not to apply on such cases in which the inhabitant was present already, irrespective of the fact that such inhabitant had been uncivilized at such period of time (Evers Kooy, 2011, p.162). HCA by giving this decision overturned the decision given in Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd (1971) 17 FLR 141 of the Northern Territory of Supreme Court (Austlii, 2017). A key restriction had been placed through doctrine of precedent on the decision of the court which is made in Australia. Based on precedent, the lower courts of the nation are required to follow the decision which had been given by a court which is higher in hierarchy, in such cases where there is a similarity in the facts and issues of the two cases. So, through precedent, the higher courts have got the overruling power of a judgment given by lower court, along with the same for its previous verdicts. The precedents can overturn the decisions which lie in the same jurisdiction (Harding, 2013). HCA has a higher rank in comparison to the Supreme Court of Northern Territory based on hierarchy of courts of the nation (Northern Territory Government, 2016). As a result of this, the court could overrule the decision of Milirrpum in Mabo. Hence, it shows that precedent helps in revising the previous decision of the courts. The UK has a history of being a colonial country and they have attacked number of other nations and have imposed their laws on others. As a result of this, the English laws apply on the land laws of Australia. As per the common law, the land in the nation is under the ownership of Crown (Secher, 2006, p. 141). Mabo highlighted that in the nation, the terra nullius had been wrongly applied. The reason for this is that Australia had not been vacant, which could have allowed another to occupy it, i.e., it was not open to be occupied by another. The English legal history shows that Mabo decision, based on common law of UK, provides the full ownership of land to the Crown and so, the land is not held by the people in perpetuity. By the subsequent alienation of land through the statute from the Crown, the native title rights had been affected greatly. For such reasons, there is a need to get the requisite knowledge of the English land laws, particularly to trace back the origin of the free hold since 20th century till the present day.

Public Reaction to Airplane Invention free essay sample

The Airplane: Public Reaction Wilbur and Orville Wright invented the worlds first airplane at the turn of the twentieth century. Mary Belles described the years following the brothers discovery, during which various engineers furthered their invention to where it stands today, capable of intercontinental travel for commercial, transportation and militaristic use. The airplanes introduction and advancement was first met with apathy, then with both praise and criticism from people of varying social classes ranging from the trundling immigrant to national leaders. Never before had man been able to fly, and the sheer thought of such an idea fascinated and frightened the public. People delighted in the thought of traveling across the country in never-before-seen timely fashion to experience people and cultures that were once thought unreachable. However, others cringed at the potential damage that air travel could create if the utmost care were not taken. Elements of disbelief, fascination and fear make the reaction to the airplane a tale of multiple perspectives. We will write a custom essay sample on Public Reaction to Airplane Invention or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Initially, the airplanes invention did not incite the level of Jubilation that the Wright brothers had anticipated. The U. S. Military was the first body of power to really put air travel into use, but even they did not take the invention seriously until later on. Gerhard Fall, author of the novel Twelve Inventions Which Changed America, spoke of the airplane as the military new aerial weapon that was terribly primitive and did not show much promise based on its ineffectiveness in the First World War. Other authors shared Falls view; three COST-sponsored writers (Punjab State Council for Science ; Technology) attributed the airplane being thrown side as an impractical invention to its high instability and poor control [which] made it less glamorous than other weapons of WI . Following the military was the Air Mail service utilizing the advantages of the airplane. Again, public interest simply was not there, so much that, according to author Gerhard Fall, the postmaster from Springfield, Illinois wrote that air travel was viewed with public apathy . It was not until later on when the U. S. Government stepped in that people began to recognize the benefits of mail travel via airplanes. However, the airplane caught on the slowest with the general public. People did not see the practical use of such a small, simplistic invention capable of carrying limited passengers for short periods of time. Andy Thompson wrote that even as planes developed to commercial use, expensive prices kept all but the wealthy from flying. Nevertheless, as time went on and advancements were made, the airplane trend started to catch on. Once it became prevalent, society was in store for quite a revolution. One of the reasons public opinion of the airplane became so high was its efficiency in mail delivery. According to Fall, in 1934, air-mail was first assigned to the Air Corps. , the predecessor of the U. S. Air Force, and would later be transferred to commercial carriers who and contracts with Postal Service came about and undertook all air mail delivery services, shipping everything first class, free of charge. These advancements hit home with the public, mainly because of the wartime situation and relatives being overseas. Friends and families were able to write to their loved ones with the guarantee that they would get it in a matter of days, as opposed to the weeks it would normally have taken had ships still been utilized to transport mail internationally. Not only were international mail services quicker, but domestic ones as well. According to the online article, Aviation Innovation: Yesterday ; Today, it took three to four days for mail to travel coast to coast via train in 1926, whereas air mail got it there in one to one and a half days. The huge gain in mail travel efficiency was one of several factors influencing public appreciation of the airplane. Cargo transport was another important element of air travel that positively contributed to public opinion. The online article, The History of Cargo Aircraft said hat the very first cargo plane, the Road Ar 232, was initially designed for mail transport but eventually became equipped to haul heavy cargo in large quantities over long distances. Early models in the twentieth century were capable of carrying up to 2,500 pounds of freight for up to 750 miles at a speed of 75 m. . H. According to an article in The Journal of Commerce: 175 Years of Change, the innovative technology allowed for major businesses, such as Ford Motors, to ship mass quantities of parts, products and materials to different parts of the country in a timely manner. Business tycoons basked in the revenue streams generated from the effective distribution of product, and so continued to propel the airpla ne industry forward by meaner of advertisements and propaganda that would, in turn, influence general feeling about the new invention. Cargo transport, as well as other benefits, was an important element of the military strong support of the Wright brothers invention. After overcoming its early skepticism, the United States military became a huge supporter and user of the airplane. Militant leaders saw it as an opportunity to gain n advantage over enemies if fighting were to break out. They could not have been more right. Thompson described the strategic mindset going into the First World War: For the first time soldiers had to worry about threats from above in addition to heavy artillery and gas warfare . The military also saw the potential use of airplanes in aerial reconnaissance, or in-air spying of enemy locations and operations. As reported by the article, Airplanes: Spies in the Air, pilots would photograph and note enemy positions from the air during the WI era . Although the airplane played role in WI, it was really put to good use some decades later during WI. Equipped with more advanced technology, World War II airplanes were capable of carrying loads of ammunition and could deal out quite a bit of firepower, which made them a crucial part of the Allied attack against the Axles powers. As mentioned by Fall, mounted machine guns and aerial bombing capacity allowed Allied planes to take out entire enemy aircraft carriers that otherwise may have wiped us out. The U. S. Military evidently had a very positive reaction to the invention of the airplane, ND showcased that feeling by exploiting them in the two biggest wars of the twentieth century. Perhaps the aspect to the airplane that was most unintentional to inciting a positive public reaction was the efficiency of travel that it offered. Foremost, air travel was Just flat out faster. The online article, Boeing 707, says that the Boeing and Douglas airliners were capable of carrying 140-189 passengers at speeds well exceeding those of automobiles and trains. People delighted in accomplishing out-of-state trips in a matter of hours that normally would have taken days or even weeks. Moreover, long-distance travel became possible for individuals. Early commercial planes were able to travel upwards of 5,750 nautical miles, permitting transatlantic and transpacific Journeys for those interested. Immigrants were especially fond of the airplane because it gave them the opportunity to return home to their families in a manor much easier than that offered by boat. Not only could they return home, but they could also have their families flown to the States. Certainly the majority of the public loved the airplane for its convenient travel options; unfortunately, some saw hem as anything but convenient. The final perspective on the airplanes introduction was one comprised of fear. Those who criticized the invention of the airplane anticipated the negative effect it could have on people in wartime situations. The airplane brought combat to the skies, which meant that other countries as well as our own were more accessible and therefore more easily susceptible to attack. Prior to the airplanes invention, the military only had to defend against naval and ground forces. With aerial warfare becoming a factor, U. S. Defenses had to concern themselves with the possibility of attack from the sky, which could be much more devastating. The advancements of the airplane by WI made them capable of large bombing campaigns that yielded unprecedented damage. Critics of the invention truly found their ammunition after witnessing the sheer devastation at the hands of U. S. Bombers in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Individuals were frightened that such damage could be done without ever setting foot on land, and trembled at the thought of similar havoc taking place back home. Not only did airplanes evoke fear regarding wartime situations, but also called or alarm in a general sense of safety because of the inherent nature of aviation and the lack of technology available. As mentioned before, flying was inherently dangerous in the early twentieth century and consequently troubled some people about the effects it could have on pilots and civilians. According to Fall, an air-corp.. Pilot in the sasss had very little experience, mainly because the sort of training we see today was not required back then. Between February and May of 1934, over 66 accidents took place involving Air Corp.. Pilots resulting in 12 of their deaths. Also, very few planes were equipped with adios when they first took to the air. Ground control and radar were nonexistent, and navigational devices were hardly available. With forecasting extremely unreliable, weather prediction was virtually impossible and left safe flying to chance and the skill of the pilot. With such a myriad of safety issues surrounding airplanes, critics worried about the well-being of not only the pilots, but also civilians on the ground. If a plane were to spiral out of control and crash land, the death toll could certainly pile up depending on the area in which the plane went down. Opponents of he airplane foresaw grave issues with its operation, and resultantly feared its introduction into society. Apathy, support and disapproval comprised the various viewpoints to the invention of the airplane in the early twentieth century. Such a revolutionary product was capable of changing the way people lived, and therefore was met with all sorts of opinions. As the airplane became more commonplace in everyday society, the hype and bewilderment died down to the point where the average person flew without thinking twice. Nevertheless, those same apathetic, excited and fearful opinions still exist today, especially in an age where nuclear warfare and terrorism loom on the horizon.

US Trip essays

US Trip essays In 11th grade I had the chance to apply for a 3-week-stay in the USA. There is a student exchange program between our high school and the Oak Ridge High School in Conroe Texas. It is a tradition that every year in spring a group of 11th graders visits Texas. I have always been interested in foreign languages and I like travelling to English-speaking countries to use the language and to get to know more about the inhabitants and their way of life. That is why I absolutely wanted to be one of the students to go to Texas that year. But it is always only a few students who get the opportunity to do that. I knew I had good conditions to take part because one of my main subjects was English and my teachers comminded me all the time. And my assumption was right. After a very short time I already got an e-mail from the daughter of my prospective host family. However the political situation in the U.S. was very complicated at this time. For that reason it was not certain if the exchange program could really take place. It seemed like my host family knew about the doubts my family had to allow me to go on that trip. So they sent a detailled letter to my parents to introduce themselves and to let them know that they could not identify with Bush's policy and that they would not support the war in Iraq. I was very glad to hear that because I would not have to think about how to react, if there were discussions about political topics. The letter they wrote made my parents feel relieved. My host family made avery positive impression on them. So they know I would be safe. And this was also the beginning of a friendship between our two families. Everyone of us started writing letters and e-mails and calling each other on the phone - me and my host sister (of course), my parents and her parents and even my brother and her sister. I could not wait to talk to my host family in person and when I got there they exceeded all of my expectations. They gav...

Naive and Naivety

Naive and Naivety Naive and Naivety Naive and Naivety By Maeve Maddox A reader asks about the use of the word naivety: I recently read this in a copy of Nature: â€Å"They challenge the naivety of the idea that science, proceeding openly and aloof from its sociopolitical environment, reaches incontrovertible truths by unassailable reason.† I do not recall ever seeing that use before. Pronunciation note naive [nye-EEV] naivety [nye-EEV-uh-tee] The adjective naive is a badly assimilated French borrowing. Ever since it entered the language as naà ¯ve in the seventeenth century, it never has managed to look like an English word, and it presents many English speakers with difficulty in pronunciation and spelling. No longer spelled with the two dots over the i, naive originally meant â€Å"natural and unaffected, artless, or innocent.† Additional meanings that have attached to the word are â€Å"showing a lack of experience, judgment, or wisdom; credulous, gullible.† The earliest citation for the noun naivety in the OED is dated 1709, but the word doesn’t show much life on the Ngram Viewer before the 1960s. In current usage, some political writers seem to use naive and naivety as euphemisms for ignorant and ignorance. Naivety is frequently used with the verb expose, as if to imply that being naive is something best concealed. Sports writers are fond of the words as well, but I’ve yet to figure out exactly what they mean by them. My best guess is overconfident or, perhaps, ill-advised. To me, naivety implies a belief in the good intentions of others. A judge handing down a sentence in the case of two people who stole from a ninety-year-old couple used the word in this sense: They allowed you access [to their home] in innocence and naivety andwere repaid by you in taking the only items of value which were on open display.- The Telegraph. Naive is an appropriate and neutral adjective to describe the innocence and inexperience of a young person. When applied to politicians and business leaders, it takes on a connotation of reproach, even contempt. Here is a random sampling of naive and naivety as used on the Web: Exposed: Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy Ignorance and Naivety Is Stuart Lancaster just a  naive coach  taking another high-risk gamble?   Manchester City Pay Heavy Price for First-Leg Naivety vs. Barcelona Is Social Media making Young People Naà ¯ve and Unhappy? (Some writers still use the dots.) For decades, senior executives have used  naivety  as an excuse when customer data has been stolen.   Was [Chamberlain] just hopelessly naive about Hitler’s Germany and too embroiled in domestic agendasto handle the run-up to war? Both naive and naivety are useful words to convey trusting innocence or idealistic expectations. It seems a shame to use them as insults. Want to improve your English in five minutes a day?

World Civilization II Unit 5 Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

World Civilization II Unit 5 - Research Paper Example World War I also led to another revolution that brought Adolf Hitler to power. World War I also caused world instability that would not be enjoyed for thousands of years to come. The war also led to mass loss of millions of lives of civilians and soldiers. It is estimated that about 1.39 million soldiers died in which the British deaths were 800,000 (Haley, 2014). The war also led to signing of Treaty of Versailles that precipitated the rise of second major war (Grimshaw, 2008). The other major consequences were felt in Germany. It made Germany lose its territory and greatly affected the economy of German. The major of aim of the treaty was to make Germany a weak country (Haley, 2014). After Hitler had come to power, he knew that the only way to liberate his country from economic sabotage is through war. Additionally, the League of Nations failed to keep the peace (Haley, 2014). In this scenario, most countries abandoned the League of Nations resulting in its closure. Since there was no international body to prevent world wars, this lead to the outbreak of the second world war in 1939 (Haley, 2014). In conclusion, the First World War resulted in the long-term effects on the world. There was mass loss of life and property, and infrastructure was destroyed. An example of this defect includes children being born with abnormalities resulting from this war. The problems associated with WWI led to the outbreak of WW2. The Treaty of Versailles was a major contributor of the war because it directly had an economic sabotage on German (Grimshaw, 2008). It is clear that various effects of the war are evident in different parts of the world up to date. Haley, Kathleen. (2014). 100 Years after WWI: The Lasting Impacts of the Great War.

Dan Brown Research Paper Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words

Dan Brown - Research Paper Example The objective of this paper is to give the reader a thorough description about Dan Brown, details about his novels and accomplishments. Dan Brown tends to stay away from the limelight. Most of the times, the low-profile author is seen at fund-raising campaigns and seminars. A particular event that is worth quoting is the gala at his High School, Philips Exeter Academy, which he attended and announced a gift of $2.2 million to the school (Philips Exeter Academy, 2004). Despite being the author of so many bestselling novels, Dan Brown is still a friendly guy without any supernormal attitude towards others. He does not even seem to be the person who created the strange world of Da Vinci Code (Kaplan, 2009). Dan Brown, according to Kaplan, seems to be surprised that his novel started such a big controversy among the Catholic Group. He was a very religious person in his initial years of his life as he was raised an Episcopalian (Kaplan, 2009). He is much of a scientific guy and believes more in science rather than religion. He said â€Å"science makes much more sense to me†. After his graduation, Brown commenced his career in songwriting and singing. Dan Brown is 45 years of age at the moment with golden hair and blue eyes. The author wakes up early in the morning at around 4:00AM when there are no distractions and works on his novels. At this hour of the day, Dan feels more productive. He does most of his writing activities in his roof space and stops briefly after every hour to do push-ups and other exercises to stay efficient. Dan Brown’s interests in code-breaking from the early stages of his life influenced him to start writing novels which are related to underground government agencies. He graduated from the Amherst College and also studied at the Philips Exeter Academy. There he also worked as an English teacher in the day. His father was a Presidential Award winner for his book on mathematical concepts and he was also a

Histo-Bio Reading of the Farming of Bones Essay Example for Free

Histo-Bio Reading of the Farming of Bones Essay â€Å"Our motherland is Spain; theirs is darkest Africa, you understand? They once came here only to cut sugarcane, but now there are more of them than there will ever be cane to cut, you understand? Our problem is one of dominion. Those of us who love our country are taking measures to keep it our own†. This statement was memorized by both the Haitian and Dominicans prisoners tortured by the soldiers during the â€Å"Parsley massacre†, which was a clear illustration of the xenophobia the Tyrannical leader, General Trujillo had. Thus, a wave of genocide which decimates the Haitian emigre population is justified (Brice-Finch, 1999). Farming of the Bones, a novel of Danticat, does not only vividly reveal a detailed, fictional narration of what happened to the Haitians before, during, and after the â€Å"El Corte† or provide us a glimpse of the author’s life as a Haitian. The novel, considered to be one of the literary records of history of Haitians, was able to captivate the lives of Haitians in a land they partly owned. The Farming of Bones is a stark reminder of the massacre as well as a tribute to the valor of those Haitians who escaped the terror (Brice-Finch 1999). At that particular time, Haiti was being colonized by the Americans. This event pushed some of the natives to go to Dominican Republic and find work to be able to help their families left in Haiti. Most of them became cane workers, housemaids, houseboys, etc. as expected, most of them were being oppressed by their employers in different ways. Some of them were overworked but underpaid and some are physically abused. However, amabelle did not suffer the same fate as a personal maid since she was adored, if not loved by her employers. Papi and Donya Valencia, her patroness, never failed to treat her right. However, when the tyrant General Trujillo felt that the number of Haitians is continuing to grow, he felt it was high time to â€Å"cleanse† their land. After hearing news of the killings, Amabelle then decided to leave her patrons and go back to Haiti with her lover Sebastien and his sister. However, when she was about to leave, the cutting in 1937— a part of General Trujillo’s dictatorial regime, Donya Valencia bled—an event that made her stay at the house a little bit longer. Because of the slight delay, Amabelle was not able to meet Sebastien and Mimi by the church—the meeting place for those who will cross the border with Doctor Javier. It was said, nonetheless, that all those who were to meet in church were arrested by the soldiers together with the doctor and the priests. Amabelle then decided to go and find Mimi and his brother. She journeyed with Yves, a good friend of Sebastien. While they were on their journey, there were several instances of them having themselves almost killed by the Dominicans. Their companions, whim they met on the way, also died one by one and Yves and Amabelle were the only ones to return to their homeland. There, they attempted to have normal lives so they kept themselves busy; however, no matter what they do, it was very clear that the ghosts of the past would haunt them until death.the border region. These instances from the novel clearly mirror the 1937 Parsley massacre and had shown a very precise documentary of the said horrifying event. Such instances are as follows: First, General Trujillo was really the name of the tyrannical leader of Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1961, who ordered to kill all the Haitians so that, generally, they could have their country only for themselves. In the novel, him despising the Haitians was clearly shown in his actions. He was the sole mastermind of the â€Å"cleansing† of their border and he was also the one to pay very small amount of money to all the victims after the almost one-week bloodbath. Second, the narration of the Parsley Massacre was exactly how the event happened in 1937. The trucks containing the Haitians were real. The â€Å"killing spree†, where the peasants are to line by six and jump off a cliff if they were not able to say â€Å"perejil† (parsley) correctly, since the color of the Dominicans and Hatians are almost the same, also happened the same way it was in the novel. A quote from Senyora Valencia illustrates this point: â€Å"And in the parsley he said ‘pewegil’ for perejil. The Generalissimo had him in plain sight and could have shot him in the parsley, but he did not because the Generalissimo had a realization. Your people did not trill their r the way we do, or pronounce the jota. ‘You can never hide as long as there is parsley nearby,’ the Generalissi mo is believed to have said. On this island, you walk too far and people speak a different language. Their own words reveal who belongs on what side.† In this particular event, Dominican troops killed between 10,000 and 15,000 Haitians in approximately 2-6 days, particularly from October 2nd to October 4th 1937 (Upchurch, 1998). Third, the River of Massacre is really the name of the river at the borderline of Haiti and Dominican Republic. The Massacre River was named for a seventeeth century bloodbath, but as Danticat makes clear, it has continued to live up to its name. The river divides the small Caribbean island of Hispaniola into the countries of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Because the countries are so close, their fates have historically been intertwined. The Farming of Bones begins in the Republic, during the regime of General Rafael Trujillo (Upchurch, 1998). Fourth and last in the significant similarities in events in history and the novel was that even though the Dominican leader taught its people to be cruel and to have no mercy for the Haitians, some of them chose to defy the General and helped hide several peasants during the mass killing. Senyora Valencia was a great example of such Dominicans: â€Å"Do you truly understand? During El Corte, though I was bleeding and nearly died, I hid many of your people. I hid a baby who is now a student at the medical school with Rosalinda and her husband. I hid Sylvie and two families in your old room. I hid some of Donya Sabine’s people before she and her husband escaped to Haiti. I did what I could in my situation.† In history, however, it is believed that although we must acknowledge that the Haitian-Dominican conflict stemmed from the occupation of the Dominican Republic by Haiti, it would be dangerous, and unfair to the Dominican people, to attribute Trujillo’s acts and ideology entirely to the same origin. Most of the Dominican people did not participate in Trujillo’s massacre of the Haitians. In fact, Many Haitians were saved by good-hearted Dominicans who could not imagine and could not accept the killings of thousands of innocents for petty reasons. The best example of this fact is the Dominican politician, Jose Maria Peza Gomez, who is believed to be of Haitian descent, and who escaped the massacre because a White Dominican family adopted him. As for the author’s relation to the characters, I found Amabelle most likely to share the life of Edwidge Danticat. There are few similarities in them but if you would compare Danticat’s life to that of other characters, it is most likely that you would find it difficult. For one, Danticat had always wanted to be a writer ever since she was a child. Her parents, on the other hand wanted her to be a doctor. In Amabelle’s case, she had always been veering away from her parents’ love for giving birth and chose to just sew clothes and at the same time serve Senyora Valencia. Another, I think, is the point in her life when her parents transferred to New York to work there. She was very young then and yet had to live without her parents with her. Amabelle experienced this when her parents drowned while crossing the river at the border. Both of them were forced to live without their parents at a time when they need guidance, love, and care from the person who brought them into this world. Third and last point is when Danticat transferred to Brooklyn to live with her real family. Adjustment to this new family was difficult, and to make it worse, she also had difficulty adjusting at school, because she spoke only Creole and did not know any English. Other students taunted her as a Haitian, a boat person, or a refugee. This time, it’s not only Amabelle who experienced the same treatment from other people but all the Haitians in the Dominicans part of the land. As evident in the novel, most of them suffered greatly because of their race, social status, and language. Obviously, it is very apparent that the novel Farming of the Bones was a literary record of what had happened to the 1937 massacre and a bit of the author’s life. In fact, the massacre, Danticat told Mallay Charters in Publishers Weekly, is not just a part of our history, as Haitians, but its also a part of the history of the world. Writing about it is an act of remembrance. References: Brice-Finch (1999) A review of The Farming of Bones, in World Literature Today, Vol. 73, No. 2, p. 373. Munro, M.

Who are the People rating movies? Essays -- Essays Papers

Who are the People rating movies? Parents can determine if they want to allow their children to watch certain movies by using the film rating system. The film rating system went into effect on November 1, 1968. Even though the decision of whether or not to use the film rating system is voluntary, the vast majority of theaters in The United States enforce the Classification and Rating Administration’s guidelines. This was a voluntary system sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of Theatre Owners. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) was founded in 1922 as membership-based business association of the American film industry. At first, the Motion Picture Association of America had the responsibility of combating the waves of criticism of American movies. In addition, the Association worked to reestablish a positive view from the public for the motion picture business. Since the 1920s, the Motion Picture Association of America has grown to reflect the change of the expanding industry. The film rating system was also sponsored by the National Association of Theatre Owners. This association is the largest exhibition trade organization in the world. It represents 26,000 movie screens in all 50 states and in more than 20 countries worldwide. The National Association of Theatre Owners’ purpose is â€Å"to preserve, enhance, and promote the magic of going to the movies.† The Film Rating Board of the Classification and Rating Administration are the individuals who rate films. They view each film and discuss how it should be rated. They attempt to rate a film according to how they believe parents would rate the movie. Written by Aaro... ...Entertainment Group. (2003).

A New Health Care System

Presently, the United States health care system is experiencing plentiful challenges ranging from staff shortage, overcrowding of emergency departments, and high cost of medical care to limited access for the unfortunate in the community.Signs that the system is going to collapse are almost everywhere, from hospitals overflowing with underinsured people to film laboratories unable to establish diagnosis. Currently, the health care is provided through the market with the government playing a restricted role. This has made it almost impossible for all people to have access to basic medical care. Moreover, access to health care is a major issue facing the citizens.Specific barriers to health care include lack of medical cover, the big figure of undocumented residents Although universal health care can ensure increased coverage, many people in   are opposed to increased government participation.Among the developed countries, United States is the only country that spends colossal amount s of money in its health care and fails to provide health care for its citizens. A new health care system that includes increased government participation, provision of health care in schools, ambulatory services and establishment of a charitable assistance can ensure admittance to health care for all.Introduction of Ambulatory ServicesThe new health care system will deal with common problem is overcrowding in hospital emergency departments, a trend which has momentous health implications (Park, 2007).Emergency patient’s rerouted to distant facilities risk increased mortality and morbidity. Overcrowding within the emergency department is linked with poorer results and can lead to prolonged pain and discomfort for patients. There is   need to embrace ambulatory services as means of offering health to the citizens   due to high numbers of people visiting medical facilities. The inclination towards ambulatory care in the widest sense of the word will mean outpatient health c are for which the individual isn’t booked for an overnight stay.These underlying factors will include; the dire need to reduce mounting hospital expenditure; the increased demand for better patient-focused care and the passion for improved admission at the community level. The embracement of ambulatory health care in the city may lead to greater patient contentment.School Based ProgramsMost of the young children will benefit from this novel program. In order to make health care accessible to all residents, the health care will be provided through the schools as well as in health facilities. Schools have the capacity to offer preventive and screening services to a broad range of children who might otherwise not access health care.For most of the young people attending educational institutions, there is a dire need to provide health care including dental services. This will include not only referrals for restorative but also health care preventive health care as well.A connecte d area is education on good dieting to prevent health problems such as dental conditions and to deal with the prevalent problem of obesity and its related health effects among school children. This program will not be disadvantaged by the new system.For adolescents, broadening of health programs will be required to assist students manage substance abuse, family conflict and sexuality. Learning institutions can serve as locales for early diagnosis of health problems and mental conditions; a key issue is relating students to comprehensive care to assist them deal with those problems.Increased Government Involvement.A new health care system that includes increased government involvement will help in addressing current challenges such as hazardous and pointless medical procedures and removal of monetary games between patients, insurers and doctors Park, 2007).In addition, huge amounts of cash would be saved doing away with expensive health care needed when a sick individual fails to obt ain preventive care. Further, establishment of charitable assistance for the underprivileged would be enviable, as many people would agree the current programs such as Medicaid and Medicare are invasive and harmful to the health of the patient (Castro, 1991).According to Castro, Medicare is too bureaucratic and expensive and is depriving young employees in the country (1991). To make health care more affordable, voluntary charitable assistance will be provided to enable the poor to purchase personal medical coverage thus saving them the massive bureaucratic expenses and the unbearable book-keeping requirements as well as legal threats impressed upon physicians and insurers.Challenges to the Proposed SystemThe proposed system that includes increased government participation would create problems because even in difficult days the benefits of increased government participation in health care in U. S are sadly hidden from the general public (Lev, 2009). Instead the negative effects con tinue to triumph in the minds of many policy makers.   Erroneously, most Americans are often ensnared into ideological arguments such as the perception of freedom, opposition to nationalized health care, a fake feeling of autonomy of option and irrational fear of government ineffectiveness in managing such a large system of health care.ConclusionSuch a health care system will not cause problems because when government fully caters for the expenses of medical care, in fact the individuals or employers would be freed from paying private insurance.Further, increased government participation in medical care provision would greatly decrease expenses not only as a result of exercising monopoly authority mainly in the process of purchasing drugs but also for the reason that management overheads linked   with private cover and profit margins will be eliminated. Second, the use of school based health care will guarantee that most of school going children receives screening and preventive health services which may otherwise not have been available to them.ReferencesCastro, J.

Denounce vs. Renounce

Denounce vs. Renounce Denounce vs. Renounce Denounce vs. Renounce By Mark Nichol What’s the difference between denounce and renounce? Their related Latin ancestors shared a neutral sense, but in English they acquired exclusively condemnatory connotations. Denounce is externally directed one denounces another’s words or deeds while renounce is internally focused one renounces one’s own viewpoints or actions, or is called on to do so. The Latin precursor of denounce, denuntiare, means simply â€Å"to announce† â€Å"to proclaim,† or â€Å"to command,† although in ancient Rome it could also have a negative connotation. Borrowed into English from the Old French verb denoncier, it is invariably accusatory. Denunciate, a more direct descendant of the Latin term, is rare but serves as the basis of the noun form, denunciation. Renounce comes from the Old French term renoncer, in turn derived from the Latin word renuntiare, which is synonymous with denuntiare in the neutral sense, but the English word means â€Å"to abandon a viewpoint or philosophy†; synonyms are forswear and repudiate. The root element of these words, nunt, is related to the Latin word nuntius, meaning â€Å"messenger,† from which was formed the Italian word nuncio, which refers to an envoy of the head of the Roman Catholic Church; it was borrowed into English with this meaning. Two other words formed from this root are announce (the original Latin prefix was ad-, meaning â€Å"to,† as in advertise literally, â€Å"to turn toward† so that it means â€Å"to bring a message†) and pronounce (â€Å"to put an announcement forth†). The latter word’s past-tense verb form, pronounced, also became an adjective meaning â€Å"marked† or â€Å"emphatic.† A variation on announce, more faithful to the original Latin through its association with Catholicism, is annunciate, which is rare, though the equally uncommon annunciation is best known as a proper noun for a church holiday commemorating the angel Gabriel’s announcement to the Virgin Mary that she would bear a child.
