What's the dealio

Adam Worcester

"Dealio" is a neologism, with a
meaningless "-io" attached to a
real word, "deal." It is used as slang, most
commonly in a sentence such as
"What's the dealio?" "Deal" in this sense
refers to specific situation. It
could be some type of negotiationin this
case, the question would mean, what am I (or we) going
to get, and what do we
have to give up? Or it could refer to a general situation, meaning that
the
question would express "what's happening?" or "what are we going to

do?"

What social issues are relevant to "Hills Like White Elephants" other than abortion?

Keep in
mind the era in which the story was written: the 1920s. Social mores were much more conservative
then, and there was little public or private aid for unwed pregnant women or single mothers.
Spain in the 1920s was strictly Roman Catholic, and the only acceptable options for Jig would
have been marriage or adoption.

Another issue is abandonment. The man is an
American, but is Jig? Does Hemingway tell us? Even if she persuades him to marry her, there is
the possibility that he may just leave her.

What kind of life would the
child have if the couple did marry and have the baby? Would the parents...

How does Faulkner balance humor with grotesque and what effect does the tension between humor and grotesqueness have on the overall story?

The deep vile
self absorption of the characters is balanced by the ridiculous ends they pursue for ultimately
selfish goals. The horrific treatment of Addie's coffin, the effects of the water, the heat and
the fire create an image that is so uneasy it is only consumable with laughter. Dark humor
accentuates the difficulty of the scene instead of distracting from it.
Vardaman is
so lost and forgotten that the reader's burden of empathy is too great without some ridiculous
humor to ease the pain. Dewey Dell's mission was doomed to be foiled by the exploitation of the
next man she encounters, yet she willingly participates. Cash's injuries are so utterly
grotesque they provoke a chuckle and a shaken head from the reader.

What special literature is produced for the proletariat? How does Winston feel about his work and the creativity involved? agh! thank you for helping

works in the
Records Department in the Ministry of Truth and he loves his work, it is almost the only thing
that brings him joy in his mundane life. He has the power in his work to alter history, to
create people and destroy them, and he finds this power frightening and exciting, which is why
he revels in his work.

The literature that is produced for the Proles, is
produced in the Ministry of Truth (Winston's place of work). The proletariat literature had its
own department within the Ministry of Truth that generated all forms of entertainment. It was
different in that it was considered "rubbishy"or the cheapest,
lowest forms of entertainment for the lowest kind of humans. The Proles were also the only ones
allowed to look at pornography which was also produced by the Party and its production section
was called Pornosec.

"Here were produced
rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime, and astrology, sensational
five-cent novelettes, films oozing sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by
mechanical means . . ."

What caused the Cuban missile crisis?

This depends
on how you mean the
question.

The most immediate cause of the Cuban Missile

Crisis was the fact that US U-2 spy planes detected Soviet missiles in Cuba.  The US
felt that
this was too much of a threat to US soil and therefore Pres.
Kennedy started to take actions to
force the Soviets to remove the
missiles.

If you take another step back, the
cause of the
crisis was the fact that the Soviet Union did not have missiles that could hit
the
US mainland while the United States did have missiles that could hit the
Soviet Union.  This
imbalance made the Soviets uneasy and led them to try to
even it out by putting missiles in
Cuba.

What kind of people were the writers of the Constitution.

In general,
the people who wrote the Constitution came from the elite of society.  They were certainly not
representative of the population as a whole.  This is why some historians (most notably Charles
Beard) have argued that the Framers created a constitution that was biased in favor of the
elites.

There were 55 delegates who showed up at the Constitutional
Convention at any point.  There were never more than 38 there at one time.  These men were
typically from the elite of society.  More of them were educated than was true of the general
populace.  More of them were wealthy.  Almost all of them had served in important governmental
positions.  Many of them were rich enough to have many slaves.  Others were speculators in land
and finance.  There were merchants and other such relatively middle-class people among them, but
the group was generally skewed towards the elite side of society.

This is
relevant because the Constitution that they produced was a somewhat conservative document that
seemed to favor the interests of the wealthy.  This might well have been good for the country
since it gave it a strong foundation for economic growth.  However, it does lead some historians
to claim that the Framers were looking out for their own economic interests and those of their
class, not for the general popular welfare. 

In what ways is Oscar Wilde mocking Victorian society in his drama The Importance of Being Earnest?

lived
during the Victorian period (i.e., the reign of Queen Victoria, which lasted from from 20 June
1837 until her death on 22 January 1901). It is important here to distinguish between the
Victorian period and the rather unfortunate use of the term "Victorian" as standing in
for a certain type of sexual mores which differ from those of the twenty-first century. As
satirical writer, Wilde made fun of what for him was contemporary society, something most
satirical writers do.

One of the main targets of Wilde'swas hypocrisy. He
himself was a gay man who was jailed for a homosexual relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas. As
a gay man who married to conform to social conventions, he was very aware of how laws regulating
relationships led to certain forms of hypocrisy. He was opposed to various forms of double
standards and often portrayed characters whose veneer of respectability covered morally dubious
behavior.

Wilde's main audience was the upper-middle and upper
classes,...
