Death in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” The theme of death is dominant in “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor. A dominant theme is seen as the central argument that the author attempts to put across in almost every idea presented in their work. The development of other themes, such as grace in daily life, is done from the theme of death. Also, the use of other literary devices such as imagery is developed to support the development of the theme of death. The development of a dominant theme may not appear straightforward until other themes are developed, and O’Connor’s work considers the need to build a strong foundation of the theme from the beginning of the story to the end. “A Good Man is Hard to Find” by O’Connor is developed around the theme of death with different literary devices and writing styles being put together to give an interesting story. Major themes in novels do not have to be identifiable at the initial stages of the story, and that happens with…

Characterization of the American Government From 1775 to around 1785, the American republic was born. This was during the great American war for independence that took place in the eighteenth century. The result of this war was that the thirteen original colonies remained free from Great Britain’s tyranny. Thomas Jefferson wrote a declaration of independence, and on 4th July 1776, Congress voted to declare their independence from Great Britain. After that, in 1789, the first president of America, George Washington, took office. America is a breed of almost 300 million people. These people immigrated from Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America all to form the alloy that is the American people (Volkomer, 2012). Through all the forty-five presidents, America has stayed true to one thing, its constitution. The American constitution is the oldest constitution, which is still in use today. In 17th 1787, the constitution became an accepted part of the American government. Even though it has undergone amendments, its principles of separation of powers and the bill of rights still stand as the main objectives of the constitution. Essentially,…
The use of steel fibre in enhancing the strength of building materials Introduction The use of steel fibre in enhancing the strength of building materials has become significant in the contemporary world. The use of steel fibre in reinforced concrete beams has also been influenced by modern technology and has become one of the best ways to strengthen the beams. Initially, reinforced concrete beams involved materials such as straws and horsehair. However, researchers invented the use of steel fibres, which forced the use of straws and horsehair to give way to steel due to its strength. Typically, the addition of steel fiber in reinforced concrete beams is mainly to improve the ductility of the beams and enhance the shear resistance. Nevertheless, the strain rate and loading type may influence the strength of the beams. Furthermore, post-cracking is one of the common issues that is experienced in various structures. Therefore, the use of steel fibres in reinforced concrete beams has helped in reducing the extent of cracking. In this case, the fibres bridging actions helps in curbing crack propagation more efficiently…
“LA Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City” by John Buntin John Buntin’s “LA Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America’s Most Seductive City” is a book that shows how the history of the City of Los Angeles is intricately intertwined with that of the world’s most famous police department, the LAPD. He picks up the story of the city in its early 1920s when two important outsiders arrive – Mickey Cohen, who dropped out of second grade, and William Parker, who would eventually become the Chief of Police.

He would then become a boxer before turning into a mobster. During that time, the politics and commerce of the city were mainly run by the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. This fact further made these two people outsiders to the community. Notably, Buntin sets up Cohen and Parker as opposites in a city that, despite the colorful image on the outside,…
Energy Aesthetic in “Joyful” by Ingrid Fetell Lee Introduction The “Joyful” by Ingrid Fetell Lee articulates that human beings are taught that their surroundings are incidental when it comes to their welfare and wellbeing. According to Lee, the physical world is a powerful tool when it comes to cultivating a healthier and happier life. For instance, workers who are in colorful and beautiful offices are more confident, alert, and friendly when compared to those in drab offices. Besides, the manuscript also argues that windows can speed a healing process together with the fact that students (children) progress at a fast rate when they are in a more lighted classroom than when they are in a dump classroom. It can be deduced that energy is a critical element when it comes to the promotion of joy, facilitating harmony, stimulating creativity, and improving health amongst other aspects of happiness in a human being. Human beings follow a culture that is characterized by the pursuit of happiness where they forget making themselves joyful in the process. Part One According to the author, color…
