Lord Asriel may be strong,and Iorek may be too,but none can compare to how brave and strong Lyra was in this heartwarming tale. The intelligence in this story in the two father figures is quite frequent. They have very prominent talents in the tale of it. The ways of these brains are demonstrated in different ways. One way is that Iorek has many great battle strategies and is smart in the way that he can outsmart people lower and higher than him.
He also has to wear forty-seven pounds of lead balls around his neck to handicap his athletic abilities. Hazel thinks that it is a bit unfair for George to have such a heavy berdon and tells George to take some balls out. In another scenario, a ballerina is presenting a news bulletin on T.V. It is said In the story that, “She must have been extraordinarily beautiful, because the mask she wore was hideous.” The ballerina was also strong and graceful because she wore handicap bags fit for two-hundred-pound men. She was also given a voice that was unfair for a woman.It seemed she was beautiful, and talented because of the handicaps.
“Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut is a prime example of what happens when government tries to “control man” and make a, in the government’s opinion, utopian society. Throughout the progression of “Harrison Bergeron,” one can see that trying to achieve total equality by any means is not the ideal way to attain a utopian society. Although the members of the public, for the most part, went along with what was happening it was primarily do to the handicaps that they were forced to wear. In the story the handicapper general Diana Moon-Glampers, a representation of a president or authority figure, is the main enforcer behind everyone wearing handicaps. The handicaps include chains for those who are gifted athletically, masks for those who are beautiful, and earpieces for those who are intellectually above average.
Gold diggers are one of my pet peeves for the simple fact that the concept along is stupid. Why would any female want to have to depend on a man for anything? I think that a female is just as strong as a man and just as capable of getting a job and making her own money. To me the concept of being independent sounds much better than being a gold digger any day. Another pet peeve of mine is high class “acting” people.
When he returned he rallied the people against the betraying Germans. This rise in patriotism gave the Russians strength to fight and overcome their enemies, despite having inadequate leaders due to the purges. However, it was also Stalin’s gradual build up of resources that left Russia victorious in 1945. Ultimately one of Russia’s greatest strengths was its size. Russia was easily three times as big as Germany meaning that the leadership could take an almost disposable view of their soldiers; there would always be more available.
This brand loyalty that Madonna has generated makes her an attractive prospect for record companies - they will sell many more records if they are sung by Madonna than if they were sung by Josephine Bloggs. This means that Madonna is heavily demanded by record companies who know that signing her up will be hugely profitable for them. As she is a unique good, she essentially hasmonopoly power - there is no direct substitute for her, so she can set as high a price (recording contract, wages, takings from concerts, etc.) as she likes (within reason, and assuming continued popularity). A nurse will often only have nursing qualifications and a strong desire to nurse people.
Schindler was a tall and handsome man who was adored by all of the young women he met, and he adored them as well. Although he was married, Schindler left his wife in their home town to prosper as a businessman in Poland during the Second World War. It was there that he truly gained the reputation as the playboy he was, as well as showed his opportunistic side. In the movie Schindler’s List, Oskar Schindler says that in every business he tried, it was not him that failed, there was just something missing. He says that it “makes all the difference in the world between success and failure.” When his wife questions what he is talking about, he responds “War.” So what made Oskar Schindler change from being merely an opportunistic greedy man, to a respectable hero?
Cheerleading has evolved immensely from sideling squads, which base their success on looks and popularity to competitive teams, which strive for perfection. Competitive cheerleading is more athletic than high cheer squads, or sideline squads, because it requires the strength of football players, the grace of dancers, and the agility of gymnastics (“WeatherNet5”). At a cheerleading competition, cheerleaders are the main focus and their goal is perfection. Their routines are reviewed by a panel of judges and winners are determined by the overall score a team receives (“Cheerleading”). Just like gymnasts, cheerleaders are awarded points for difficulty, technique, creativity, and uniformity.
Johnson 1 Tim Johnson Professor Thomas English 101 October 9, 2014 Why pro athletes choose to use performance-enhancing drugs? Most people see pro athletes as superheroes. They have amazing athletic abilities that everyone enjoys watching and want to be around. Pro athletes are living out their dreams of getting paid millions of dollars to play a sport they have played since they were kids. Pro athletes are also viewed as winners because they perform at such a higher level than the average athlete.
In a world of absolute equality, each human being would never be looked upon as anything more or less than the person beside him or her. Unfortunately, this advantage may only go so far. For example, how can an intelligent person be given as much credit as mentally handicap individual? This is the case with Harrison Bergeron, in his maximizing complete equality is to have the intelligent people wear earphones (which give off horrible sounds) to distract one's trail of thoughts. This way society loses its chances to excel and will remain oppressed.
