When Bitten by Jessica Altuch With great power, there must also come great responsibility. ‐‐ Stan Lee, Amazing Fantasy #15 Spiderman is a famous, fictional, American character, who can be perceived as an outsider in comic books and the movies. How would you respond if your life were to dramatically change overnight? In Peter Parker’s case, a high school teenager was bitten by a genetically modified spider, which changed his life, and gave him spider‐like abilities, which he then uses for the good of the city. He is put to the challenge and has to fight evil because he is now a superhero. Spiderman is an “outsider,” as he is set apart from the world because of his supernatural powers. Peter used to be an average teenager, but his life changed overnight. He is then out every night protecting the city from any evil that may come. Peter, before he was transformed, was considered your typical teenage boy. He had trouble with his love life, school, family, self‐esteem, and lack of friends. Recently, however, Peter’s character has gotten Hollywood updates. He went from being a shy teenage high school student to a more confident college student to a married high school teacher. Peter’s past has played a large role in shaping his personality and future. Peter as a child was an orphan who was also bullied by many classmates of his. Peter also has to go through witnessing the death of his Uncle, with whom he is very close. Peter after gaining his powers from the genetically modified spider, wants to get revenge against the people who murdered his uncle. Peter Parker’s life was “normal” until something happened one day; he would be changed for the rest of his life. Peter Parker used to be your average teenager, then his life was totally changed one day when he was on a school field trip, and he was bitten by a genetically‐ altered spider. Peter then realizes that he has gained supernatural powers that next day. These powers allow him to have spider‐like capabilities which makes him an “outsider.” After being bitten, Peter is no longer considered a “normal” human being. Spiderman wants revenge on the people who killed his uncle. Spiderman isn’t a normal human being anymore; he is a superhero with supernatural powers, which separates him from the city. Peter Parker went from being a normal school boy to fighting for the city against evil. Peter now is Spiderman to the city, and is living a double life, which is tough to balance. Spiderman is now depended on by the city to be protected from crimes being committed within the city. Spiderman is an outsider who is greatly appreciated in the city, to help save the city from evil. Spiderman is somebody whose life was radically changed overnight, when he learned he has superpowers. On a daily basis he is out saving people and punishing those who have broken the law. He is looked up to highly because he is keeping the city safe and everybody counts on him to save the day. He is separated from society because of his supernatural abilities. Spider man used to be a normal human being, until he was bitten by a spider which changed him from that day on. This 1 spider that bit him gave him powers that were incredible which he then used for good. He helped the city stay safe and to protect the people from any means of harm. 2 Augmented by Kahaf Bhuiyan I never asked for this. ‐– Adam Jensen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution Have you ever thought about how your life would be if you had no limbs? Or what if your limbs were replaced with artificial implants with weapons that seem to appear out of thin air, making you a one‐man army? This is what happens to Adam Jensen, the protagonist in the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution. After he gets attacked by members of the Illuminati, a group of people that say they are trying to make the human race better for everyone. In reality, they are persecuting humans by experimenting on them to find the perfect human to make the perfect cyborg. Adam Jensen happens to be this perfect human, but ends up stopping the experiments instead of helping the Illuminati. The only reason he fights the Illuminati is because they get in the way of him trying to find his girlfriend, Megan Reed. She had gone missing after the Illuminati had attacked Sarif Industries, the place where Jensen works. The most interesting part of the video game is that the entire game can be played without killing anyone, making it possible for Jensen to be a complete pacifist. Adam Jensen is a character from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, who can be seen as an outsider because he is different from many people physically and mentally. Jensen lives in an apartment in Detroit, in the year 2027. He used to be a former SWAT team member, who quit because he could not find the courage to kill a person who had gone insane and had started harming innocent civilians. After he quit, he took his girlfriend’s advice and joined up with the company she worked for, Sarif Industries, as head of security. Sarif Industries develops cybernetic implants for humans, which are also known as augmentations. These augmentations can be mechanical limbs or a computer chip in the brain, and are intended to make human life easier. Unfortunately for Jensen, on his first day of work, the Illuminati comes and holds everyone hostage, while kidnapping many of the scientists so they can develop their own augmentations to control masses of people. While everyone is being held hostage, Adam Jensen is fatally wounded, and would have died if Sarif Industries had not decided to give him augmentations, replacing his arms and some of his brain, while giving life support to his heart. This essentially makes him into a cyborg, and the irony in this is that most of the people with augmentations willingly get them, unlike Jensen, who “never asked for this” (Deus Ex: Human Revolution). Many people despise these cyborgs because they do not believe that humans should have their bodies drastically changed like this. This makes Jensen an outsider to “normal” humans, but it could even be said that he is an outsider even to the augmented people, because Jensen was given weapons as some of the augmentations, attempting, and succeeding into making him into a one man army. He is also unlike most other augmented humans because he didn’t have the choice of whether or not to get them. Jensen has peculiar reasons for doing the things he does, most of them being all just to find out what really happened to his girlfriend, as he does not believe what people say, which is that she was killed on the day of the break‐in. Most people would not be so obsessed about finding one 3 person to the extent that he takes on whole gangs and eventually the master plan of the Illuminati just because he wants to find out the truth. In this way he is an outsider because he has very strong willpower and does not give up, which is the opposite of many people of our generation, and in the game. He tries to do what is best for everyone while on his journey, and helps anyone who looks like they really could need it. At first many people think that someone such as Jensen, who is augmented, would be a jerk and not want to help anyone, but once they get to know him they realize that he is actually a good person, especially considering that he did not want to become augmented. His perspective on things is realistic and bases his assumptions on evidence, such as the fact that there is evidence that Megan Reed is still alive, which causes him to go on his whole journey, asking people “Where is Megan Reed?” (Deus Ex: Human Revolution). By the end of the game it becomes apparent that even though Jensen can be considered an outsider, he is just like any other person. He has his morals and can even have the choice to not harm anyone in the game at all. The reason he left the SWAT team was because he didn’t think it was right to kill a 15 year old kid was having a breakdown because of augmentations.

  • James Baldwin As a Writer of Short Fiction: an Evaluation
    JAMES BALDWIN AS A WRITER OF SHORT FICTION: AN EVALUATION dayton G. Holloway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 1975 618208 ii Abstract Well known as a brilliant essayist and gifted novelist, James Baldwin has received little critical attention as short story writer. This dissertation analyzes his short fiction, concentrating on character, theme and technique, with some attention to biographical parallels. The first three chapters establish a background for the analysis and criticism sections. Chapter 1 provides a biographi­ cal sketch and places each story in relation to Baldwin's novels, plays and essays. Chapter 2 summarizes the author's theory of fiction and presents his image of the creative writer. Chapter 3 surveys critical opinions to determine Baldwin's reputation as an artist. The survey concludes that the author is a superior essayist, but is uneven as a creator of imaginative literature. Critics, in general, have not judged Baldwin's fiction by his own aesthetic criteria. The next three chapters provide a close thematic analysis of Baldwin's short stories. Chapter 4 discusses "The Rockpile," "The Outing," "Roy's Wound," and "The Death of the Prophet," a Bi 1 dungsroman about the tension and ambivalence between a black minister-father and his sons. In contrast, Chapter 5 treats the theme of affection between white fathers and sons and their ambivalence toward social outcasts—the white homosexual and black demonstrator—in "The Man Child" and "Going to Meet the Man." Chapter 6 explores the theme of escape from the black community and the conseauences of estrangement and identity crises in "Previous Condition," "Sonny's Blues," "Come Out the Wilderness" and "This Morning, This Evening, So Soon." The last chapter attempts to apply Baldwin's aesthetic principles to his short fiction.

    This book was first published in 1951 by Little, Brown and Company. THE CATCHER IN THE RYE By J.D. Salinger © 1951 CHAPTER 1 If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, an what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them. They're quite touchy about anything like that, especially my father. They're nice and all--I'm not saying that--but they're also touchy as hell. Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything. I'll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and take it easy. I mean that's all I told D.B. about, and he's my brother and all. He's in Hollywood. That isn't too far from this crumby place, and he comes over and visits me practically every week end. He's going to drive me home when I go home next month maybe. He just got a Jaguar. One of those little English jobs that can do around two hundred miles an hour.

    ROSE IN BLOOM A Sequel to "Eight Cousins" By Louisa May Alcott Preface As authors may be supposed to know better than anyone else what they intended to do when writing a book, I beg leave to say that there is no moral to this story. Rose is not designed for a model girl, and the Sequel was simply written in fulfillment of a promise, hoping to afford some amusement, and perhaps here and there a helpful hint, to other roses getting ready to bloom.

"They are the Campbells, waiting for their cousin, who has been abroad several years with her uncle, the doctor," whispered one lady to another as the handsomest of the young men touched his hat to her as he passed, lugging the boy, whom he had just rescued from a little expedition down among the piles.

Wisse Kelly Scott Johnson Sholem Schwarzbard: Biography of a Jewish Assassin Abstract The thesis represents the first complete academic biography of a Jewish clockmaker, warrior poet and Anarchist named Sholem Schwarzbard. Schwarzbard's experience was both typical and unique for a Jewish man of his era. It included four immigrations, two revolutions, numerous pogroms, a world war and, far less commonly, an assassination. The latter gained him fleeting international fame in 1926, when he killed the Ukrainian nationalist leader Symon Petliura in Paris in retribution for pogroms perpetrated during the Russian Civil War (1917-20). After a contentious trial, a French jury was sufficiently convinced both of Schwarzbard's sincerity as an avenger, and of Petliura's responsibility for the actions of his armies, to acquit him on all counts. Mostly forgotten by the rest of the world, the assassin has remained a divisive figure in Jewish-Ukrainian relations, leading to distorted and reductive descriptions his life.
