Ambrose Bierce: Animal Characteristics
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Ambrose Bierce maintained that humanity mirrored many of the same characteristics as animals, stating that "in each human heart there is a tiger, a pig, an ass, and a nightingale. Diversity of characters is due to their unequal activity." It can easily be argued that Bierce's perception is quite accurate in that all of mankind has absorbed a great deal of idiosyncratic tendencies reflective of animal behavior. For example, as is mentioned in his quote, the human heart exhibits a vast array of illustrative attributes: the tiger's ferocity and independence; the pig's greed; the ass's stupidity; and the nightingale's delicacy and benevolence. Indeed, finding all of these qualities within a single individual is considerably more difficult than recognizing one or two; however, most of humanity displays a combination of all such animal characteristics at some point throughout life. The writer discusses these traits as they relate to Iago and Desdemona from Othello, Mustafa Sa'eed from Tayeb Salih's Season Of Migration, and Reginald Nwankwo and Gladys from Girls at War by Chinua Achebe.

Analyzing A Stressful Situation
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. The stressful situation that took place at the wedding speaks to the variations in social communication that govern one's existence. While the people meant no intentional harm, their otherwise intrusive questions and underlying accusations caused the student to feel as though she were being somewhat disparaged for having gained what society deems as an extraordinarily significant amount of weight. Her inability to confidently confront these questions and criticism only served to make her feel that much more ill at ease with the entire event until the rising stress level caused her to seek refuge in the bathroom where her frustration and humiliation poured out in tears. Indeed, this interaction illustrates the manner by which people are bound by certain social criteria they have developed throughout their lives, often to the extent of being ill-equipped to handle such intense interpersonal contact. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
