First she taught him the alphabet and then after he learned it, Mrs. Auld helped him spell words that consisted with three of four letters. While he was still lea

Freedom The first view we get from Douglass is as a small boy, without a birthday, father, or any sort of identity. “I have no accurate knowledge of my age … A want of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood.” (p. 39) Learning and knowledge make all the difference in the world, as Frederick Douglass proves by changing himself from a slave t

Fried Green Tomatoes My first impression of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café was that it was a “woman’s” novel. This was because the movie, which was more popular than the book, was advertised as a “chick flick”. To say the least, I was wrong. The novel poses many issues that face the people of the 1920’s and 30’s, and makes one think about what people have struggled thro

Friendship The Importance of Friendship Friendship begins when we put ourselves in a situation to help someone else.

Friendship Philosophy Writing for LES MISERABLES Victor Hugo¡¯s novel LES MISERABLES is an example of literary Romanticism. Marius Pontemercy courted Cosette from afar, and won her affections with a love letter.

A Sorrowful Woman Explication of a Passage from Gail Godwin’s “A Sorrowful Woman” One winter evening she looked at them: the husband durable, receptive, gentle; the child a tender golden three. The sight of them made her so sad and sick she did not want to see them ever again. She told the husband these thoughts. He was attuned to her; he understood such things. He said he underst

From Bartleby to William Wilson UnFrom Bartleby to William Wilson The power of guilt Introduction: At first hand, there may not be a clear relationship between Melville and Edgar Allan Poe, other than the fact that they are both romantics. This is probably because they are both wildly original and have very definite styles. However, in the short stories reviewed in this essay,

A Clean Well Lighted Place In Despair about Nothing Man is often plagued by the question of his own existence. Existentialism is a subjective philosophy that is centered upon the examination of man’s existence, emphasizing the liberation, responsibility, and usually the solitude of the individual. It focuses on individuals finding a reason for living within themselves. The philosophy fo

Abigail’s Vengeance The witch trials of 1692 were among the darkest experiences of United States history. Forming in the rigid Puritan community of Salem, these infamous trials were a perfect example of vengeance based injustice. In Arthur Miller’s play, “The Crucible”, it all begins as but a simple accusation against a hand full of girls and only later develops into the great hysteria

Gatsby Gatsby’s Hopes and Dreams for his Future The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald is recognized in American Literature as one of his greatest achievements. Many of Fitzgerald’s works research the Jazz-Age for the single American dream of happiness and wealth (Poupard, Person 146). “Critics concur that The Great Gatsby rises above being a mere chronicle of a past American era, and mo

Gatsby The American Dream is different for everyone; however, it is most commonly associated with prosperity, success, and happiness. The true concept of the American dream seems to have lessened thoughout history, especially in the past twenty years. The American dream has changed from prosperity, success, and happiness to having lots of money and the nicest possessions. While having m

Gatsby The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a specific portrait of American society during the Roaring Twenties. It tells the quintessential American story of a man rising from rags to riches only to find that his wealth cannot grant him the privileges of class and status. Although the central character of the novel is Jay Gatsby, a wealthy New Yorker known mostly

Gatsby In the novel, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay Gatsby is portrayed as an individual who strives to achieve the American Dream through acts that would otherwise corrupt a common person in the 1920’s. F. Scott Fitzgerald, however, lived his life in the 1920s with ambition, devotion, and perseverance: the ideal formula for achieving financial success. But Fitzgerald did

Gatsby 1) The first party that takes place in East Egg at Daisy and Tom's mansion. Since Daisy is his cousin and Tom, a friend from Yale, Nick has the credentials to visit East Egg. Their house is "a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial Mansion" overlooking the bay. And the owner is obviously proud of his possessions.

Gatsby and the Frozen Moment In today’s society, it is very easy to look around and see many people who live in their past. Walking down a street, one can still watch cars pass by with peace signs and equal rights slogans or hear blasting disco music from the 70’s. However, although the people in these cars enjoy the culture of the past, they know that it is behind them and can never f

Gender in "As You Like It" Present day conceptions of gender would appear to be different to what they were in Shakespeare’s day. Clear cut divisions of male, female and neuter are apparent. One would need to look back to the time of Shakespeare to try and see the different view of gender identity. Using the play As You Like It and the characters portrayed within it one might be able to

Generation Ecstacy Generation Ecstasy For my book report I read Generation Ecstasy. There was so much information in the book about the rave scene and "ecstasy", I didn't know where to begin. It's been ten years since the English seized on Detroit techno, Chicago house, and New York garage as the seeds of what's generally agreed-over there, at least-to be the most significant music

The relationship between parents and children sometimes causes a conflict . A long time ago children used to follow the track of their parents. However, with the appearance of new technologie

Genji Genji, the son of the emperor and a concubine, is used in this book to represent males and their unchanging harshness toward females. He searches constantly for the “hidden flower” or perfect female, however, he falls short of being the ideal male. He is unworthy to have the perfect female even if he did find her. He shows this through his many unfaithful, immoral affairs with f

Genji The Tale of Genji is one of the most important stories of ancient Japanese literature. Japanese scholar Sin Ohno said that there is no literature written during the Heian Era which is written in as precise language as The Tale of Genji. The author, Murasaki Shikibu, is a woman. In this tale, we can see the concept towards marriage of women during her period. During the Nara Era,

George Orwell The commentary, “ Down And Out In Paris And London” by George Orwell is quite interesting. In this commentary, Orwell explores the life of the disenfranchised poor, the underemployed, and the flat broke. Orwell not only wrote about this lifestyle, he explored and spent quite some time living amongst the poor. He spent some time working as a plongeur in the hotels of Paris.

George Orwell In the 1st 50 years of the 20th Century, it came to pass that revolutionary turmoil in the name of social progress brought humanity to the gates of destruction. Out of these flames of war arose several huge Political systems that bestrode the globe. One of these, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was founded on the ideals of social equality and sharing. Instead t

George Orwell George Orwell has two very conflicting feelings towards the Burmese people throughout his essay. He writes “I thought that the greatest joy in the world would be to drive a bayonet into a Buddhist priest’s guts”(Pg.680), and then he turns around and says “Theoretically—and secretly, of course—-I was all for the Burmese and all against their oppressors, the British.”(Pg.680

Getzel The Monkey Getzel the Monkey I found this to be a very novel story although I am not sure that I am astute enough to comprehend most of what was offered in this reading. I believe that the story was told from the view of a conservative yet wise experienced thoughtful thinker, a very analytical woman, perhaps a character in the story. I also believe that this is a person w
