Twelve years of slavery

下面为大家整理一篇优秀的essay代写范文 -- Twelve years of slavery，文章讲述正如卢梭在《人类之间的不平等》中所说的那样，“人类之间存在两种不平等。一种是超越自然或生理上的不平等，因为它是由自然造成的，包括年龄，健康状况。另一种可能被称为道德或政治上的不平等。（Smith，DL 2009）。后者的不平等使某些人享有特权，相反，情况不佳的其他人则不享有这种特权。例如，有些人比其他人更富有，更崇高或更强大，甚至允许别人服从他们。”换句话说，哪里有人，哪里就有不平等。

 

As Rousseau said in The Inequality among Mankind, "There are two kinds of inequality among human beings. one is beyond nature or physiological inequality, because it is caused by nature, including age, health status. Another one might be called moral or political inequality, and it relies on a specific institutional arrangement, and at least get people's consensus. (Smith, D. L. 2009). The latter inequality gives some people with privilege. On the contrary, others in a poor situation are not allowed to have it. For example, some people are richer, nobler, or more powerful than others, or even allow others to obey them." In other words, where there are people, there is inequality. What is more, the pursuit of inequality is in fact meaningless to some extent. However, in the course of history, racial issues between the black and the white continue today. Both literature and the movies, as long as when it comes to racial issues, can certainly catch a large number of people's attention, such as 12 Years a Slave.

Nowadays, Stephen McQueen's new movie 12 Years a Slave is the hottest movie at present. The movie adapted from a true story which describes that the hero Solomon was trafficked to be a slave serving southern plantation up to twelve years. As is known to all, 12 Years a Slave won The Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Editing and Best Film original music in the 2013 session of the Boston Online Film Critics Society Awards. What is more, the movie 12 Years a Slave won the coveted Golden Globe for best drama in the 71st Golden Globe Awards. At the same time, after sweeping the award season for Best Picture titles, 12 Years a Slave’s win at the 86th Academy Awards on March 2 was certainly one of the most unsurprising moments of the night. There must have been enough reasons why the film captivated the Oscar judges and millions of viewers around the world. Based on the 1853 memoir of Solomon Northup, an educated (black) freeman from New York who endured a nightmare of involuntary servitude after being kidnapped, 12 Years a Slave is a beautiful film about one of the ugliest and most shameful chapters of American history.

The film focuses on the personal experiences of Solomon. Educated and married, he was a free black man living in New York. Then he met two people who promised to help him find a job in Washington, when Solomon reached Washington only to find that he has been abducted and was forced to begin his life as a slave. After years of suffering before he relied on a kind Canadian’s help, and after a lawsuit, he regained his freedom. The beginning of the film is that the protagonist has toiled as a slave to the lens of the camera and his wife and kids were by his side in his hometown. A comfort and stable time and constant flashbacks form a kind of stark contrast, which gradually leads to a tone of desperation in this film and starts to get into the atmosphere which belongs to the film. Although the film aims at a kind of criticism on black system to some degree, I can still clearly realize that the film is full many complexities of human nature in the various characters. The white who considered themselves as noble and wise in their mind, trafficked the black in some dishonest means and even sold the black in exchange for their own interests. It is obvious that ugly face, fake, ugly are behind their gorgeous appearance. The black, a nation that suffered the misery of oppression, has become cold and numb after facing companions’ leaving one by one with their helplessness and pain. When they stood in silent tribute for a black uncle who died in the cotton fields, there is more numbness than mourning on their face. At the time of Solomon was hung up, the black behind him turned a blind eye as if the one who was hanging on the tree and trying to struggle did not exist. A nation which was suffering extinction is sad, but people falling in their trouble who become numb and hopeless are rather sad. It seems that the nation has lost all of hope due to the distortion of human nature.

Why could the film express the black slaves’ unfortunate and painful experience through the eyes of Solomon, a kidnapped and a free man? Probably, it is precisely because Solomon was not born a slave, so we might become him and the film can make people feel as if they are in the film. Indeed, seeing the various injustices suffered by blacks in the film, including rape, endless labor, slave driver’s various insulting language, and even that a little girl who was tied to a tree by cruel whipping was beaten bloody on the back, the crossing scars were so scaring that I could not bear to look at it directly. Back to the topic, I truly believe that the film wants to express and the very important thing is the Solomon’s virtue. It is the director who used a low-key social ways, instead of dialogue and dramatic action. Silence and forbearance are the virtues of black actors to some degree.

Director Steve McQueen’s images have a magic power that doesn’t allow audiences to feel comfortable for even a second. The actors, including Chiwetel Ejiofor as Northup, Lupita Nyong’o as Patsey, and Michael Fassbender as slave owner Edwin Epps, help construct the film’s emotional ladders. At the same time, the cast of the film is very powerful. All the performances of the film,12 Years a Slave are impressive, both big stars or fledgling new actors, they all work together, accompanied by Master Hans Zimmer • Creation of background music, which played the part of the Sonata dark era. Among them, the budding actress Lu Pita • Nyon Austria with her gentle wavefront, bring out • Paul Dano, Brad Pitt • Cast cruelty. Of course, the most prominent performers belong to the actor Qiewate Ejiofor. He threw himself into the tragic fate of the blacks, eyes, action or every casual sigh, which lead to audience fear for his fate. Director Steve McQueen is very smart because he knows how to use incoherent motion shots and close-ups that makes people nervous.

As US media representative commented,”ustic, primitive and unyielding, 12 Years a Slave is definitely a great portion of the film which is filled with anger, frustration, grievance and emotion of the film, a sad elegy for 12 years, a 12-year-long love of music. Some people hold the view that the film is pretty majestic and protagonists are rather strong-willed to some extent. What is more, film’s story is exciting, emotions are in order, Steve McQueen's film and narration is amazing. Furthermore, authority of the US media, "The New Yorker" is generous words of praise, called it "the best one on American slavery movie". As Tencent entertainment said,” The film 12 years a slave has a grand themes and values, but the director Steve McQueen played down the history, crime and culture. Using a "magnificent" history, the director finished the film with horror overtones. While 12 years a slave is a good movie which was shot very well. Although there are something missing on social context and cultural meaning in the film, the film for the currents of history and paints of the moral ethics is very accurate. This is a reflection of the director’s abilities in the theme. On the other hand, as Sina entertainment commented,” the film, 12 Years a Slave is the common nigger Oscar Films, 2013 Best Picture Oscar nomination list also has two works with the theme "Lincoln" and "Django Unchained." In order to show the film painful encounter slaves, director used many so-called cruel expressions Film photography neat workmanship, distinctive cross clip. In addition, the theme of the film is not a traditional and happy ending. All in all, the film is successful to some degree.

Different from movies such as Lincoln (2012), the biopic about the man who changed the face of slavery, and Django Unchained (2012), a revenge fantasy in which the oppressed slave prevails over his oppressors, 12 Years a Slave tells a story of suffering and survival, in an honest and believable manner and with cold, dark details we rarely see on screen. Director Steve McQueen’s images have a magic power that doesn’t allow audiences to feel comfortable for even a second. The actors, including Chiwetel Ejiofor as Northup, Lupita Nyong’o as Patsey, and Michael Fassbender as slave owner Edwin Epps, help construct the film’s emotional ladders. At its most profound, 12 Years a Slave is a captivating study of physical isolation and humanity at its most vulnerable and implacable, as Ejiofor masterfully portrays Northup’s fight to retain his dignity and identity. By the time you get to the last scene of the film, when a stunned Northup comes home to his wife and now grown-up children after a dozen years of hard labor and captivity, he seems to have forgotten what freedom feels like. It’s probably the unhappiest happy ending I’ve ever seen, because for a moment you weep not just for this one man’s destiny but also for all those men and women who never knew freedom in the first place. What happened to Northup in slavery is the story of millions. Because of this historical and humanist standpoint, McQueen’s film surpassed its fellow nominees in the Best Picture category.

The secret to a long life

下面为大家整理一篇优秀的essay代写范文 -- The secret to a long life，文章讲述如今，这是一个热门话题，为什么有些人的寿命如此之长，却引起了人们的关注。两位遗传学家访问了一个有四个百岁老人和四个99岁老人的区别的小村庄，以揭露长寿的秘密。百岁老人说，他们身体健康，因为他们总是饮食良好。但是经过长期的研究，关于严格限制饮食与长寿命有关的理论已经落入了艰难的科学时代。

 

Nowadays, here is a hot topic that why do some people have such a long life span which has attracted people’s attention. Two geneticists visited a small village which had the distinction of four centenarians and four 99-year-olds to expose the secret of longevity. The centenarians said they were in a good health for they always had a good eating diet. But through a long period of investigation, the theory that a severely restricted diet which is connected to long life has fallen on hard scientific times.

Recently, scientists have turned their attention to the gene which is connected with people’s life span. They found a recessive mutation in a single gene which can cause a disease of impaired growth called Laron syndrome. Research carried out by the geneticist found that there was the absence of a hormone known as IGF-1, or insulin-like growth factor in the patients’ blood. This kind of absence can protect people from being attacked by some diseases such as diabetes, cancer and so on. In addition, those who live into their 90s tend to possess a particular version, or allele.

Furthermore, another experiment shows that the Ashkenazi centenarians had exceptionally high levels of HDL. HDL is often called the good form of cholesterol. Scientists also found that there is a variant, a distinct genetic subtype, of a gene known as CETP .This kind of gene was more common in centenarians than in other people. Some researchers think one of the reasons that we have not found the gene we want is that we have protective sets of genes.

However, genes alone are unlikely to explain all the secrets of longevity. In fact, there are a lot of other factors that are connected with longevity, such as environment, diet or something else, but the biggest factor for longevity must be the gene.

The President of the United States has real power

下面为大家整理一篇优秀的essay代写范文 -- The President of the United States has real power，文章讲述自1840年以来，民主党和共和党每四年举行一次大会选举总统候选人。候选人必须年满三十五岁，是自然出生的公民，并且是美国居民十四年以上。由两党提名的候选人将有义务进行选举。美国的长期竞选活动非常耗时且费力。竞选活动需要有条理的方式，新思路和有效措施，巨大的经济资源和强有力的政治支持。同时，舆论在美国政治中起着重要作用。领导者必须知道将支持哪些政策和倡议。其他人也必须保持警惕。公众舆论可能不是政策的中心，但也会对政策产生影响。

 

Since 1840, the Democratic and Republican parties have held conventions every four years to choose candidates for President. The candidates must be at least thirty-five years old, natural-born citizens, and residents of the US for fourteen years or more. Candidates who are nominated by two parties will be bound to cause the election. The long election campaigns in the United States are extremely time-consuming and effort. The election campaigns need well-organized way, new ideas and effective measurements, huge economic resources and powerful political support. Meanwhile, public opinion plays an important role in American politics. Leaders have to know what policies and initiatives will be supported. Others also have to keep an ear to the ground. Public opinion can make impact on policies, even though it is not the center of authority.  

In the United States, the president is not only equivalent to a constitutional monarchy monarch and President of the parliamentary system, but the prime minister who master the real power as well. The president possesses the power and duty to welcome foreign heads of states and envoys. He has absolutely authority on the Executive as well. As head of states, the president hands the power of appoint. After the president listing candidates, the Senate holds a hearing about public survey and voting. However, the president can dismiss officials directly. The president has rights of pardoning criminals and declaring a state of emergency as well.

The president derives considerable power from being commander in chief of the military. The United States Constitution requires that the president shall be commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. Possessing the right of military command, the president has the capacity to put down some riots in the country and wage wars against other countries.

The United States ' system involves checks and balances between the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary. The president also has the legislative power. He has a veto over legislation and the delegated law-making power.

Though proposing legislation, advancing budgets, involvement in the regulatory process, and executive orders and agreements, presidents make policy. In diplomacy in general, the American president is the maker of foreign policies, who has the rights to negotiate treaties and conclude executive agreements, but treaties cannot be put into effect unless approved by two-thirds of the Senate. In addition to having veto power on laws passed by Congress, the President is head of the military and responsible for making treaties with foreign countries.

In the process of struggling, exchanging and restructuring of the capital of rights and the power between the president and the Congress, it’s easy that an emperor-like president appears or a powerful Congress. These will alternately appear and achieve balance finally.

The power of the President

下面为大家整理一篇优秀的essay代写范文 -- The power of the President，文章讲述美国总统被认为是世界上最有权力的人之一，而其他人则对总统职位持相反看法，因为总统权力在很大程度上受到限制。  

 

  American president is deemed as one of the most powerful person in the world while others holds the opposite opinion for presidency powers are limited to a large extent.  

    According to the Constitution of The United States, president has the main power-administrative power which includes managing state affairs and government’s all work; releasing decrees and appointing officials; and raising the national guard. Besides, presidency is also involved in lawmaking, judicature and foreign affairs. To be specific, president can veto any bill of congress, unless two-thirds overturn his veto. As for judicial rights, president can appoint the supreme judicial officials with the approval of the senate. When it comes to foreign affairs, presidents manage diplomats with the right of signing treaty with other countries without subject to the senate. In this aspect, it is said that American president deals better in diplomatic affairs than in domestic issues. A politician has conducted a survey and found out that from 1948 to 1964, 59 percent of president’ proposals in diplomatic affairs are passed by senate while only 49 percent in domestic proposals are agreed. The data has shown that the popularity that the president gains may terrify the senate who may weigh when confronting the president. Generally speaking, nearly 60 percent of popularity may accept the presidents during their first tenure. However, as time goes by, a majority of presidents might lose affection and credibility. Presidency power can be restricted and influenced by many factors, such as contemporarily national economic condition.

    As is known to all, the United States is under a system of checks and balance for which powers are divided into three separate branches which include the legislative branch, the executive branch and the judicial branch. This way in fact prevents presidents from accumulating excessive power. To tell the truth, any regime exists for the sake of popularity’s support. Therefore, even being fressful between the administrative department and the congress, confronting various political parties, the popular will, and other organized interest groups, the president should and must strive for approaching the populace.

    All in all, presidency power is the combination of the will and support coming from the popularity. The law enforcement stems from citizens’ recognition of the legality and justice about national constitution, originates from their willing obey and awe, not for fear of tyranny. The law is formulated to protect all citizens’ overall benefit, not for maintaining some reigning orders. As the saying goes,” the water that bears the boat is the same that swallows it up”, no matter how powerful the president is, he should respect and put the popularity’s benifits at the first place. In a word, a grand president doesn’t exist without the support of popularity.

The origin of educational history

下面为大家整理一篇优秀的essay代写范文 -- The origin of educational history，文章讲述在美国和中国，教育似乎都扮演着越来越重要的角色。教育制度因国家而异。没有相同的教育制度。因此，本文将重点讨论中美之间不同的教育体系。此外，本文试图从不同的角度分析中美两国的教育历史，以帮助读者更好地了解这一复杂的问题，该问题已成为近几十年来的焦点。这些分析包括但不限于：教育历史的起源；发展阶段；现状;等等

 

Education seems to be playing an increasingly significant role in both America and China. The education system varies from country to country. There is no education system which is the same; hence the paper is going to concentrate on the different education systems between China’s and America’s. Furthermore, the paper attempts to analyze the educational histories of both China and America from diverse perspectives in order to help readers have a better understanding about this sophisticated issue which has been brought into focus in the recent decades. These analyses includes but not limit: the origin of the education history; developmental stages; status quo; etc.

I chose this topic because I am interested in it and what I truly believe is that my readers will not feel bored while reading my essay. In addition, this topic deserves to be discussed in a lot more details, because both America and China pay special attention to education. They seem to reckon that education can change one’s destiny. Of course, the current education system is based on the previous one. Studying the history of the educational histories in both countries is of prime importance when it comes to getting to know this issue better.

The resources that I am going to use must tie into the overarching topic of education that I will present in my essay. The scholars, books, articles, newspapers are good resources that I am very likely to use. Google scholars is a good way to start my research. Lastly, I will develop a much more focused topic. I will think about a topic that has been of interest to me in the US context that I want to compare to the Chinese context. Ideas about curriculum, about the organization of school systems, about the teaching profession - any of these (or others you think of) could be a focus for discussion in both the US and Chinese histories.
