Joy Luck Club: Nationality
.... this was their only joy. The mothers grew up
during perilous times in China. They all were taught "to desire nothing,
to swallow other people's misery, to eat [their] own bitterness." (p. 241)
Though not many of them grew up terribly poor, they all had a certain
respect for their elders, and for life itself. These Chinese mothers were
all taught to be honorable, to the point of sacrificing their own lives to
keep any family members' promise. Instead of their daughters, who "can
promise to come to d .....

Kate Chopin's Controversial Views
.... 14).
Growing up around independent women, however, did not dissuade her from
marriage. Her marriage to Oscar Chopin by all accounts was a happy one.
Taking on the role of a high society lady as well as wife and new mother,
Chopin fit in well with the New Orleans culture. She enjoyed the Louisiana
atmosphere so well that most of her writings were based here. Chopin
continued living in Louisiana raising her six young children until the
sudden death of her husband brought her back to St., Louis (Skaggs 3 .....

Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee: An Analysis
.... and explicit detail throughout, as
evidenced by the book's nearly 500 pages. However, while some may complain
Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee is boring or text-book-like, I believe the
opposite is actually true. Generally, very little is known about this
terrible genocide and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a wonderful and
interesting learning tool. Brown has written many books about the life of
the American Indian, including Creek Mary's Blood and Killdeer Mountain,
but Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is c .....

Satire In Lilliput
.... his predicament, Gulliver is at
first impressed by the intelligence and organizational abilities of the
Lilliputians.
In this section, Swift introduces us to the essential conflict of Book I:
the naive, ordinary, but compassionate "Everyman" at the mercy of an army
of people with "small minds". Because they are technologically adept,
Gulliver does not yet see how small-minded the Lilliputians are.
In Chapter II, the Emperor of Lilliput arrives to take a look at the
"giant", and Gulliver is equally impres .....

Huckleberry Finn: Controversy Paper
.... suggests Mark Twain has "obscured" the African American
roots when writing Huck Finn. Jim, as suggested by Fishkin, has been plagued
with a dialect that should not be represented by the African American race
during that time. The question is raised by Fishkin as to if Huck Finn was
black? This in turn would take away from the whole basic outcome of the moral
lesson that we are all so desperately wanting to hear about.
I found it almost appalling to see how one author could so easily turn
the goodne .....

Ernest Hemingway - "The Lost Generation"

first of many code hero traits that he features. This physical wound,
however, transcends into an emotional one by preventing Jake from ever
consummating his love with Lady Brett Ashley. Emotional suffering can take
its toll on the Code Hero as it did with Jake Barnes. Despite the deep
love between Jake and Lady Brett, Jake is forced to keep the relationship

life of the state."4 Machiavelli generally distrusted citizens, stating
that "...in time of adversity, when the state is in need of it's citizens
there are few to be found."5 Machiavelli further goes on to question the
loyalty of the citizens and advises the Prince that "...because men a

noticed that there were several different types of rings on the table.
Suddenly Digory saw someone stand up from the chair, it was uncle Andrew.
He told Polly not to touch the rings, but it was to late. She disappeared into
the air. Digory was confused. He wondered what the rings did. Did Polly just
disappear or did she go to some distant land? Uncle Andrew explained how that
one ring would take you to this land and that the other one would bring you back.
Uncle And .....

Brave New World: The Perfect World?

Another of the panaceas for social ills is the belief that everyone
would enjoy his or her work because he or she was "made" or trained for it when
young. Consequently, from birth, everyone in Brave New World is slotted to
belong to a specific social and intellectual strata. In conjunction with this
idea, all births are completely planned and monitored. There are different
classes of people with different intelligence and different "career plans." The
social order was divided into th .....

their wagon with too much unneeded baggage, and it was top heavy. As the dogs

The Intentional Death Of Francis Macomber
.... killed Francis intentionally
can best be seen when observing and studying the background information on
both Francis Macomber, and Margaret herself. (Hemingway 1402). What is also
important is that Margot and Francis have very different personalities.
This is clearly seen when the narrator states, (Hemingway 1402).
With this small amount of background information, the true motive for an
intentional killing can be found. This can clearly be seen in the
conversation of Francis Macomber after killing the b .....

.... really stupid like that and expect
them to still cheer for them. The worst part about actually going to watch a
game at the stadium rather than on TV is the prices. To buy a ticket for a
seat in the stadium really is not that bad, but after that they charge an arm
and a leg for whatever you buy. They do not let people bring their own food
into the game so when the spectators get hungry the sunuvabitch's charge
outrageous amounts on the same food that they sell in a supermarket for a

Catcher In The Rye: Holden's Insight About Life And The World Around Him
.... to make him out to be a rough tough boy. "Boy, I sat at that goddam bar
till around one o'clock or so, getting drunk as a bastard. I could hardly see
straight." (pg. 150) Holden tried all he could to fit in. He drank, cursed and
criticized life in general to make it seem he was very knowing of these habits.
I myself have found me doing this at times, also. I, at times, feel the need to
fit in to a group and do things similar to what others do in order to gain
acceptance by them. I smoked a cigar once .....
