Abstract

When Invisible Man, the seminal novel by Ralph Ellison was published in 1953, it quickly established a reputation as one of the most important literary depictions of the struggles of African-Americans in the history of fiction. The central character, the titular ‘invisible man,’ struggles with a metaphorical invisibility that was endemic to the 20th-century attitudes of white hegemony toward African-Americans, and encapsulated the black experience as one of marginalization and oppression. These elements contribute greatly to manifesting a vision of black American life that expressly prevents blacks from achieving the same level of respectability and acceptance as whites, regardless ...

Introduction

Many people revere alcohol for the recreational value gained through its consumption. Nonetheless, the use of alcohol is often associated with many ill effects, leading to the questioning of the wisdom of the continued use of alcohol. Complete prohibition of alcohol has proven to be ineffectual in remedying alcohol-related challenges, where people resort to consumption of illicit, unregulated brews, exposing them to increased harm. It is critical, nonetheless, that the ill effects resulting from alcohol use are understood, in facilitating matters of policy, treatment, rehabilitation, and safe use of alcoholic beverages. While alcohol remains a favorite recreational product, the ...

It is difficult to measure the positive or negative effects of emotional development because for one, young people can only show us physiological differences and for two, many of the psycho-social influences do not manifest themselves until later in life and are then also conglomerations of one another and thereby makes it very difficult to realistically pinpoint causal mechanisms. What is needed however, is to then mark what is a common desire for individuals and parents to have in others and children. Ultimately, maturity is a sufficient umbrella term that could serve as an effective mark, but currently, modern ...

Introduction
You all have seen the degrading photos. You remember how you felt the shame, seeing what looked like electrical-shock wires attached to human flesh, whose head was covered by a black cone-shaped hooded cloak. Perfidious sensory deprivation ensued. Someone once conveyed the following words of misery: “Only by experience can anyone realize how deep, and dark, and foul is that pit of abominations.” These words were written by Harriet Jacobs, a black woman in American history whose first-hand account recorded the atrocities of her captivity and cruelty of slavery (“Harriet Jacobs Fugitive Slave”). The tortures she suffered are unspeakable. ...

Thesis Statement and Introduction
Has it ever occurred to you that children love reading comics and watching fairy tale movies more than reading story books? Ask them what they’ve understood from a fairy tale that was screened on TV recently and they’ll keep talking about it till you fall dead. On the contrary, ask them to read a story book and see what happens. I’ll bet that they wouldn’t get through to the second page. Pictures and color attract children and adults alike, and while adults like to watch movies, children love to watch cartoons and ...

One of the most prolific, incendiary and thought-provoking poets and authors of the latter part of the 20th century, Charles Bukowski firmly established himself as a unique voice in American popular culture.

This highly influential writer has also been the subject of numerous critical discourse, attempting to break down his works into their subtextual and compositional elements to glean greater meaning from them.
