most rewards, namely property, in return. A person who works hard for years to acquire a sizeable amount of land and a wealthy sum of hi put a significant amount of personal labor and effort into their endeavors, and they deserve their abundance of property. However, a person who does not acquire propertyusually is so because he or she did not exert enough labor or effortin order to accumulate property. Those who work hard should be able to reap the benefits because if everyone, no matter how much effort they put forth, received the same amount of property, people would naturally cease to work hard since it would be of no benefit to them. If people stopped working hard, the entire success of our society would gradually slip into a decline, since people would not be competing and trying to outdo each other. Competition among human beings is vital to motivate technological advancements, artistic ideas, and industrious innovations. Therefore, if people are not competing to come up with new ideas, societal advancement will come to a halt. Both Marx's and Locke's ideals are revolutionary and concerned with human liberty. However, Locke considers that each human being is an individual, and not just another community member, which is a vital detail to consider when concerned with the natural rights of human beings. Understanding History for Hawthorne and Brent Knowing and understanding social, political, and cultural history is extremely important when reading many novels, especially Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Linda Brent and any short story written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Both of these authors had many extinuating circumstances surrounding their writings that should be noted before reading their works. Without knowing what was happening both in the outside world and in the respected author's life, one cannot truly grasp what the author is trying to say or what the author truly means by what he or she is saying. In this paper, I will show how important it is for the reader to understand the social, political, and cultural happenings in the writer's lives and in the world surrounding them during the times that their works were written. Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl isan incredible example for what I am trying to show. This book was written during atime of extreme racial segregation and the hatred and cruelty shown, in general, towards blacks from whites is extremely important to understand before reading the story. This book tells the story of thelife of a young, black, female slave in the south and focuses on trying to explain the trials,tribulations, and emotional and physical suffering that she, and many others like her, endured while being involuntary members of the institution of slavery. Brent, like every other victim of the atrocity we call slavery, wished those in north would do more to put a stop to this destructive practice. As she stated, slavery is de-constructive to all who surround it. It tears apart families; not just families raised in slavery, but the master's family as well. how could the hi men and women of the north remain silent while such a great atrocity is still in practice? Brent confronts her reader one on one in order to reemphasize her point. She uses the family and sentiment to appeal to and challenge the 19th century white women reader in order to effectively gain their support in the movement for abolition. Understanding what was going on in our nation, in the southern states, and in the northern states is incredibly important . |
