How does this book portray dystopia?

A dystopia
reflects a dehumanized society living in fear under an oppressive form of government. Very often
the government disguises its dictatorial purposes under a cloak of "the people's own
good." This would be the case with Brave New World, for example. Other
times the government appears openly as a force bent on crushing individuality and individual
thought. As a depiction of Stalin's brutal rule, falls within the latter
category.

In 1984 , dystopia comes to life through a
number of facts that...

I need help with an assignment to give a sketch of Puritanic society found in The Scarlet Letter. The assignment must cover 2000 words. Please, I...

A 2,000 word
essay is lengthy, and will require quite a bit of research at the beginning.  Certainly, your
essay could be organized according to the three inclusion points listed.  You might aim to write
2 paragraphs on each point (though, logically, I would suggest you switch the order of point 1
and point 2).  Once you add an introduction and conclusion to the paper, you should have about 8
paragraphs total.  If each paragraph is 250 words in length, you'll have met your
goal.

In order to help you get started on this assignment, I encourage you
to brainstorm answers and ideas for each of the three inclusion points listed.  Most of this
information is readily available on the Internet...

What were the major works of Jean Jacques Rousseau?

Jean
Jacques Rousseau (1712 €“ 1778) is widely acknowledged as on of the most important thinkers of
the eighteenth-century European Enlightenment. The areas he most influenced were Romanticism,
education, and political philosophy. His most important works were:

•  A Discourse on the Arts and Sciences
  (nonfiction, 1750/1): argues that modern developments in arts and science did not
  improve moral character; developed the concept of the "Noble Savage". 


• Of the Social Contract, Principles of Political Right
  (nonfiction, 1755/61): a treatise which argued that legitimate sovereignty was always with the
  people and that governments were only legitimatized by the people they ruled.


• Julie, or  (novel, 1761): a romantic novel emphasizing the
  virtues of nature and the simple rural life. 
• Emilius and
  Sophia: Or, a New System of Education (nonfiction, 1762-1763): argues for
  individualized instruction based on children's innate abilities and interests and balancing
  study with physical activity and exploration of nature,
• Theof
  (autobiography, 1783-1790): posthumously published, and unusually frank for the
  period.

Why does Voltaire write in this style? "Candide" by Voltaire

Best known by
his nom de plume, or pen-name, Francois-Marie Arouet, criticized his
society; in fact, he signed everything  "Ecrasez l'in-fame," or
"down with infamy." His famous work, "," satirizes the popular philosophy of
optimism promulgated by Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibnitz that held that since everything was
created by God, and since God is perfect, then everything in the world must be also perfect. 
Wheninitially criticized this philosophy in his poem on the Lisbon earthquake of 1756, the
Romantic Henri Rousseu retorted that it was Voltaire who was wrong.  Voltaire fired back at
Rousseau with his satirical tale of "Candide" in which one disaster follows another;
however although he is beaten and treated cruelly, Candide continues to be rescued from the
horrible situations.  When he finally arrives in Eldorado, Candide decides that this must be the
best of possible places, but although he recognizes a utopia, Candide cannot live without his
love, Cunegonde.  So, he and his companion depart with vast riches, but they encounter more
harships and losses.  As a result, Candide exclaims that he must renounce the optimism of
Pangloss.  His companion, Cocambo, asks, "What is optimism?"  To this question,
Voltaire replies, "It's a mania for saying things are well when one is in
hell."

In the conclusion of his work, Voltaire, who has criticized the
optimism of von Leibitz and Rousseau, does offer a solution to the negative conditions
that really exist in life:  One must cultivate one's own garden, making the best of his/her own
life. 

Having chosenas his method of writing, Voltaire mocks the theory of
optimism by making the entire world a stage for his criticism.  His style imitates that of the
ancient poets Horace and Juvenal as he exposes the follies of humans in an effort to help them
progress.  Votaire's satire is humorous and not biting, therefore.  Employing the Eden trope,
Candide travels through many gardens, but there is a lesson to be learned in each one.  Finally,
he concludes that one must cultivate his own garden in order to avoid misfortune and
folly.

In Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, what happened to the plantation Belle Reve?

The
arrival of Stanley Kowalskis wifes troubled sister, Blanche, presages dramatic revelations and
conflict between the characters in. Stanley and Stella live a simple
existence, he working and bowling, she taking care of their apartment while expecting a baby.
Stanley is crude, but loves his wife; Stella is happy with her life and is clearly still very
sexually attracted to her husband. When Blanche enters the picture, Stanley and Stellas
existence is immediately and dramatically altered. Blanche is not only an unwanted adult
presence in this tiny apartment; she is a condescending, snobbish critic of everything about
Stanley. Details about her background, however, begin to reveal a woman who is not just running
away from her past, but from reality as well. And, this is where the fate of Belle Reve comes
in. Belle Reve is the palatial estate, a classic southern plantation, on which Blanche and
Stella were raised. Stella and Stanleys socioeconomic plight is obvious by Williams setting
descriptions. The full extent of Stella and Blanches fall from grace, as least with respect to
their financial status, comes out when Stanley is questioning Blanche about the latters papers,
which this insensitive, uneducated man has deemed his right to investigate:

STANLEY: I don't want no ifs, ands or butsl What's all the rest of
them papers? and

[She hands him the entire box. He carries it to
·the table starts to examine the papers.]

BLANCHE [picking up a
large envelope containing more papers]: There are thousands of papers, stretching back over
hundreds of years, affecting Belle Reve as, piece by piece, our improvident grandfathers and
father and uncles and brothers exchanged the land for their epic fornications--to put it
plainly! [She removes her glasses with an exhausted Iaugh] The four-letter
word deprived us of our plantation, till was finally all that was left-and Stella can verify
that!- -was the house itself and about twenty acres of ground, including a graveyard, to which
now all but Stella and I have retreated. [She pours the contents at the envelope on
the with table] Here all of them are, all papers! I hereby endow you them! Take them,
peruse them-commit memory, them to even! I think it's wonderfully fitting that Belle Reve should
finally be this bunch of old papers in your big, capable my hands!

Belle Reve has been shuttered; Blanche and Stellas family lost everything, and Blanche
only continues, unsuccessfully, to present a veneer of the respectability her family once
enjoyed. The loss of the plantation and Blanches descent into alcoholism and extreme promiscuity
has condemned her to a life of moral and emotional degradation. Blanche uses the loss of Belle
Reve to try and impose guilt on her sister, but she is a pathetic creature the final demise of
whom is brought about by Stanley's viciousness.

What is the social impact or social value of each of the five pillars of faith in the Islam system?

To look at the
pillars of Islam is to see some interesting similarities between this rapidly growing religion
and other religions, particularly Christianity, in terms of social justice and commitment to a
single deity.  The first pillar, known as the "Shahada", is a profession of faith in a
single god, and his messenger, Mohammad.  In fact,...

Why Did Japan Invade China

Japan
invaded China in 1931 when it invaded Manchuria. Japan also invaded China in 1937. Japan was a
small island that lacked important resources. They knew they could get some of these resources,
as well as cheap labor, by invading China. In 1937, there was a minor incident between Japan and
China near the Marco Polo Bridge where shots were fired between both sides. This allowed Japan
to justify an invasion of China. China was in the midst of a civil war. Thus, China was not in a
strong position, militarily.

Japan also had formed a...
