Rarely does an adventure revolve around the treasure hunt ahead alone or a romance relies merely on how attractive the sweethearts are. Rather any successful story instinctively acts around a latent fabric serving as a purpose that truly defines that story’s essence beyond its surface. The theme is that purpose, that sense of meaning. However, to define a theme, one must look not only beyond the critical idea itself, but how a theme adds greater dimensions to what tale it...

Palaces like the Forbidden City are no exception to this: they show power by their size but the same idea of a courtyard exists in the enclosed walled area called the Imperial City. It may show power with the visibility of the different halls and gates, but the private space inside stays away from people outside. The residential area of the palace is itself separated from the rest of the Imperial City by the Gate of Heavenly Purity. This modesty...

As a student, I have read lots of stories and articles about the use of illegal drugs and drug addiction. I, too, have seen and heard various news about this topic on national television. But I would say that the video presentations I’ve just watched are collectively comprehensive and all-inclusive. The presentation has a strong and clear message to everyone. That is, no one wins with illegal drugs! Illegal drugs and drug addiction pose or constitute serious problems to one’s...

My biography and critical reflection indicated a personal experience of discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization as a queer person of color in a gay dating mobile application called Grindr. Particularly, I was faced with the issue of toxic gay masculinity and subordination at the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality. This experience of ‘othering’ reflects the dominant gendered stereotypes and social practices within the gay community wherein ‘racism’ and ‘whiteness’ are persistent features. I contend that this experience of difference...

My art piece draws from cultural and social inspiration and is based on my own experiences and my relationship with the Ross River, along with...

In Aldus Huxley’s Brave New World, Huxley’s use of character descriptions and dialogue emphasizes his foiling of Lenina to Linda. He does this foiling not only to show differences between the characters but also to give insight into the society outside of New London. Other than coming from the same society, Linda and Lenina also correspond in their similar ways of thinking and in how they emotionally deal with stress. Lenina is seen as a quintessence, a perfect example of...

A common tactic that authors use in their novels, plays, and short stories is the use of contrast.

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is no different. The main story of Brave New World takes place on Earth but far into the future. The events of Brave New World take place about 600...

The other major factor in this story is when the prisoner is released from the shackles and can venture out. The prisoners are “set free from their chains and cured of their lack of insight” (Plato). This line also entails that releasing the prisoner is like a teacher teaching. They must push a vast amount of information out, for the students to understand the truth. Another line that supports this example is “If someone, using force, were to pull him...

The author of Maus, Art Spiegelman, shows different ethnicities and nationalities utilizing animals as allegorical symbols or categories. The creatures in Maus are useful for two main purposes for us as readers: showing us the racist themes in the book in a humorous way and still maintaining the seriousness that it deserves. The frog is extremely symbolic of France and this community has some hostility to Great Britain as a country. It would logically make sense to depict the British...

Most critical incidents in the classroom (Tripp, 1993) are not at all striking or tragic but are very much ordinary and prevalent events that occur frequently in the practice of teaching. What makes them 'critical' is the fact that they have prompted us to think and reflect at that given moment. In the context of teacher education, 'critical incident analysis' (Tripp, 1993) is a useful technique for self-reflection. Some interpret the term to mean no more than constructive self-criticism with...
