Secondary Source Critique Chang, J. (2005). Melancholic remains: Domestic and National Secrets in Fae Myenne Ng’s Bone. MFS: Modern Fiction Studies, 51(1), 110-33. doi:http://dx.doi.org.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/10.1353/mfs.2005.0022 In “Melancholic Remains: Domestic and National Secrets in Fae Myenne Ng’s Bone,” Julianna Chang argues how Ng’s melancholic temporality critiques modern notions of subjectivity and history, especially as formulated by the nation-state. Chang draws on how her article will provide a symptomatic reading of domesticity in Bone, and she observes how the encrypted secrets structure the family formation. Chang explores the idea of the hyper-exploitation of racialized labor, and melancholia as a subject in the novel and how the melancholic phantom makes an appearance in the novel, which signifies this encrypted secret of a failed America. Ultimately, Chang also focuses on how melancholia and domestic and national secrets are all components in Ng’s Bone. Chang begins her article by outlining that Ng’s Bone is almost a sequel of sorts to Louis Chu’s Eat a Bowl of Tea. Chang follows up this point by mentioning how Chu’s novel charts the transformation of New York Chinatown from bachelor society to…

Difference between gods and humans According to Segal, in the Hebrew Bible, the difference between gods and humans is based on the degree of the capabilities and not on the kind. For instance, it is developed that gods know more than humans but cannot be defined to be all-knowing. Moreover, gods can be more powerful than humans, and even though humans are not limited. They can develop and become gods. Segal believes that God is not omnipresent in the Hebrew bible. For instance, the incidence of the garden of Eden is not anticipated by God (43). Furthermore, the difference between gods and humans is that they have qualities of all kinds, unlike humanity. Segal further believes that heroism has the capacity of transforming ordinary individuals to become gods. It is through their ability to be celebrated in society and show capabilities that make humans treat them like gods. An example is a prophet Muhammad and Shakespeare, the hero in the poetry (Segal 46). Therefore, such heroes can transform to become gods through conferring them with divine qualities such as physical…
Literature Review on impacts of diversity, ethics, and cultural competency on the decision-making process The public sector has been under the radar in the recent past following several reports of discrimination against women. This derogatory trend has sparked debate and led to considerable research being directed to the subject of discrimination. The previous paper centered on the acknowledgement of the structural foundation of the discrimination of women in the public sector. It delved into the matter of anti-discrimination policing and equal employment opportunities as well as the management of this diversity. The discrimination of women is, in most cases compartmentalized and localized to the point that the larger frameworks of dominance are left out. Public sector organizations have been known to privilege the men in the work places. This literature review examines through scholarly support the impacts of diversity, ethics, and cultural competency on the decision-making process related to your selected problem. The paper also evaluates the aspects of effective communication styles as applied to individual and group collaboration. A decision-making process is defined as the procedural settling on a…
comparative analysis on poems “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas, “The Times They Are-a-Changin” by Bob Dylan Introduction This comparative analysis will focus on three poems “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas, “The Times They Are-a-Changin” by Bob Dylan, and “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” by Robert Herrick. The analysis will precisely focus on the concept of carpe diem, similarities, and differences in language (Rhyme and meter) and imagery in the three poems. Each of these poems can be attributed to the concept of carpe diem through their varying themes. ‘Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,’ is the first line of the “To the virgins, to make much of Time” by Robert Herrick (Herrick, Line 1). It’s a call to the addressee, the virgins, to make most of the day. Do not tarry or waste most of the time because you got one life. Herrick is advising the virgins to enjoy their youth before their beauty fades. The concept of carpe diem is also present in…
