In my speech, I am going to talk about this ever-growing and dire topic: “Corruption is a cancer.

This philosophy of life is called transcendentalism, a movement that stressed individual equality.

My chosen texts are Bernardine Evaristo’s 'The Emperor’s Babe' and Aphra Behn’s 'Oroonoko (The Royal Slave)'.

However, upon closely examining the texts, the two characters which I will focus on have little to no agency and gradually lose all of their freedom, whereas most of the surrounding characters have comparatively more autonomy. Starting with Zuleika from The Emperor’s Babe, her low social class, ethnicity...

Almost two centuries after its invention, artists are still grappling with defining and discovering the limits of photography. These limits are meant to be questioned. Photography is debatably one of the most confusing mediums. It has gone through extensive interrogation, and has dramatically transformed through technological development, more so than painting or sculpture. Photography is no more than a recording of light, and any attempt to label it further is simply wrong (Rexer). The medium is uniquely frustrating because it...
