WHISPERS OF ROMANCE
Aug 02, 2024 3 months agoOnce upon a time, in the heart of a bustling city, there lived a writer named Oliver Finch. Oliver was a peculiar man—he wore spectacles with thick frames, his hair was perpetually tousled, and his wardrobe consisted of mismatched sweaters and tweed trousers. He was known for his extraordinary ability to craft stories that sang with the melodies of love, despite the fact that he had never truly experienced it himself. Oliver's love stories were not your average tales. They were rich tapestries of emotion, filled with intricate plots and poetic dialogues. People would weep over the pages of his books, their hearts aching and rejoicing in equal measure. Yet, Oliver himself was a mystery when it came to romance. His friends often wondered how someone so out of touch with love could write about it so profoundly. The truth was, Oliver had never had a real relationship. His life was a series of solitary routines: reading books in a cozy corner of his apartment, sipping tea, and writing with a vintage typewriter. While his stories painted pictures of passionate embraces and heartfelt confessions, Oliver's own heart remained untouched by such experiences. One evening, as Oliver sat in his cluttered study, struggling with the final chapter of his latest novel, he received a letter. The envelope was adorned with delicate calligraphy and sealed with a wax emblem. Curious, Oliver opened it and found a note inside. “Dear Mr. Finch, I am a great admirer of your work, and I must tell you, I believe I've discovered a secret about you. I am writing to invite you to a small gathering at my home, where I promise you will experience the true essence of romance—something you have only written about. Sincerely, Evelyn Hart.” Oliver was intrigued. He had heard of Evelyn Hart—an enigmatic woman known for hosting elegant soirées where poets and artists would gather to share their creations. With a mixture of curiosity and trepidation, Oliver decided to attend. The night of the gathering, Oliver found himself in a grand old mansion adorned with twinkling fairy lights and fragrant roses. The air was filled with the soft strains of classical music, and guests in exquisite attire engaged in lively conversations. Oliver, feeling slightly out of place, clutched his glass of champagne and scanned the room for Evelyn. She appeared as if from a dream—a vision in a flowing, sapphire gown, her presence both graceful and magnetic. She approached Oliver with a warm smile and introduced herself. “Mr. Finch, it's a pleasure to finally meet you,” she said, extending her hand. Her touch was light and electric, sending a jolt through Oliver's senses. As the evening progressed, Evelyn led Oliver through a series of activities designed to evoke the sensations of romance. There were storytelling circles where guests shared personal love stories, poetry readings that captured the essence of longing, and even a dance beneath a canopy of stars. Oliver participated with a sense of wonder, feeling the emotions he had only ever imagined. In one corner of the garden, Evelyn and Oliver sat together, away from the revelry. She looked at him thoughtfully and said, “You know, Mr. Finch, you've written so beautifully about love. But have you ever wondered how it feels to truly experience it?” Oliver nodded slowly. “I have often wondered, but I don't know if I could ever understand it fully.” Evelyn smiled gently. “Sometimes, the heart understands what the mind cannot. Perhaps your gift lies in the ability to channel the essence of love through your writing. But remember, even the most profound stories are inspired by real emotions.” As the evening drew to a close, Evelyn gifted Oliver a small, leather-bound notebook. “For your next story,” she said, “write not just with your mind, but with your heart.” Oliver returned home with the notebook in hand, feeling as though he had glimpsed a new world. In the days that followed, he found himself inspired in ways he had never been before. The emotions he had experienced at Evelyn's gathering seeped into his writing, transforming it into something even more magical. And though Oliver never fell in love in the traditional sense, he discovered that the essence of romance could be felt and expressed in many ways. Through his stories, he shared that essence with the world, proving that sometimes, the most extraordinary tales are spun by those who understand love not from personal experience, but from the depth of their imagination and empathy. And so, Oliver Finch continued to write his stories of love, each one a testament to the belief that romance, in all its forms, was a beautiful mystery waiting to be explored. https://donwickconsultancy.com/
Objectification of Disability
Mar 27, 2022 2 years agoWhen Stella notes the "lie we've been sold about disability, " she refers to the assumptions and stereotypes associated with disabled people. Individuals have various assumptions about disabled people; they think disabled individuals are exceptional due to their disability. Stella explains that when she went to teach Melbourne high school, a boy approached her and asked her when she would be doing her motivational speech. Critically analyzing this scene, it is arguable that individuals have been fed with the false perception that disabled individuals cannot have a real job as a teacher except giving motivational speeches in schools and other public gatherings. This perception is significantly associated with microaggression and ableism faced by disabled individuals. Microaggression is an act of discrimination against a particular type of marginalized group such as disabled individuals, which takes the form of exclusion, incidents, actions, and statements. Most disabled individuals get discriminated against and excluded from partaking in certain activities due to the perception that they cannot accomplish a specific task. The boy's questions depict this perception. Due to the lie about disabled individuals, the does not think that a disabled person like Stella can be a regular teacher. Stella uses the term "inspirational porn" to refer to inspirational videos and digital materials that aim to motivate non-disabled individuals by using disabled persons. Porn entails pornographic content that objectifies the actors for the viewers' pleasure. She provides an example of these "inspirational porns" by explaining an internet video that shows a girl with no hand using her mouth or toes to drink. "Inspirational porn" is used in this context because such "inspirational materials objectify a certain group of individuals for the pleasure of other individuals. For instance, non-disabled individuals may view the video andthink that they should not complain about life as it can be more challenging like that of the little girl with no hands.

The plot in the play revolves around Walter and his decisions that have detrimental effects on his family. Walter is brought out as a passionate, ambitious and focused young man motivated by poverty in the fierce fight towards achieving his dream of financial independence. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the life of the protagonist of Walter Lee Young through his character traits. Additionally, the paper will analyze the impacts of Walter's character on other characters' lives. The play depicts Walter as the hardest character to get along with. This can be seen in his constant fights with his sister, Beneatha. He is also depicted as a mean husband to his wife, Ruth. Additionally, his uncouth behavior can be seen in how he treats his long-suffering mother. Walters's behavior towards other characters results from the frustrations in his life. The fact that he worked as a rich man's chauffeur brought dissatisfaction in his life. Walter is required to be an obedient servant to his boss, making him feel less fortunate. He cannot feed his family despite working for the rich man at his age. The frustrations in Walter's life motivate him to fight against poverty and social injustices that seem to be pulling him down at every juncture. Throughout the play, he is represented as an ideal mid-twentieth–century Black man. He tries his best to accord the necessary support to his family. Walter employs a lot of effort in discovering new and better methods of acquiring wealth. The presence of obstacles such as racism constantly prevents Walter from achieving his desire. According to Walter, the only method of solving his frustrations is by acquiring enough money.Nonetheless, Walter's dream explodes towards the climax, and he ends up bringing a devastating outcome to his family. Walter desires to rise above his class status to gain pride, dignity, and respect. He tries to achieve this by attempting to open a liquor store with friends as joint investors.Walter constantly believes that for a man to be successful, they must cease being servants to other men. Walter plans to use the life insurance check from his father's death in investing in a liquor store business. Walter feels like a failed dad as he internalizes that he cannot give Travis the world and opportunities. According to him, all he ever gave his son was stories about the lives of white people and the privileges that life had in store for them.Walter emerges as a stubborn character as he gives a deaf ear to everyone's warning about investing in a liquor store business. His wife feels like Walter's advances in investing with his friend Harris could end up in a big mess and therefore warns him against it. On the other hand, Lena feels like his son is moving astray from the righteous ways by investing in a liquor store.Lena prevents Walter from indulging in the business by refusing to give the money to Walter at first. The money is under Lena's name, which means that she has full control over it. Walter's selfishness is portrayed when he refuses to work and goes for a three-day drinking spree when he learns that his mother had used some partial amount of the insurance money in making a down payment for a house in the white neighborhood. He feels that investing in a business could be more important than investing in the house. Walter is a selfish character who focuses more on his needs than other people's feelings or desires. Walter's mother finally gives him the money and trusts him to keep it in a bank account for his sister's education. However, instead of saving money for Beneatha's education, he gives it to Harries for the liquor store business. His desire for financial freedom makes him ignore the needs of others and chase his desires. Eventually, Walter's desire for financial freedom diminishes when Willy takes off with all the money. This results in a phase of frustration to Walter and disappointment by his family. He desperately reaches out to Mr. Lindgner, a white man from the new neighborhood where his mother wanted to purchase the house. He agrees to take the money that he is ready to accept the money he had refused earlier on. This shows that the only thing that can lower Walter's pride is money.
