Our Town
.... powerful, heroic beings. Men are depicted as fighters, providers, and of course first class citizens. While woman on the other hand have always been perceived as weak, fainty, delicate homemakers, and unintelligent. Their main purpose in life is to cater for the men, and take care of the house and kids. And of course they were perceived as second class citizens.
The focus of this paper is to analyze the gender issues and differences that existed in all three plays. I would like to relate and .....

Our Town
.... that he meant it to find a value above all price for the smallest events of our daily life. To appreciate everything without exception in life. Our claim, our hope, and our despair are what we make of them, and only we have the power to change them. The scenery that surrounds us is not important in life, you should live life as full as you possibly can, where you live or how much money you have should not have an effect on how you live your life. Whether you are poor, rich, good-looking, ugly, po .....

Our Town
.... finding the whole experience saddening, as she realises the waste her life has been, taking everything for granted, not cherishing the smallest of treasures. Emily accepts death.
Throughout this seemingly simple plot Wilder illustrates the relationship of the individual to the vastness of the universe, in fact, it is the simplicity of the plot that allows this topic to be addressed.
I have been offered the position of a director of this play, and will further discuss my methods, adhering carefully .....

Out Of The Silent Planet
.... inner meaning. It talks about the dark side of humanity. Filled with comedy, action, suspense and science fiction. But though it's not a very long book, it really doesn't need to be.
The plot was uncertain at times but overall was detailed enough to present the over all struggle of one mans' journey through the cosmos. The transitions from one chapter to the next were very well organized. Through many weeks passes in the book, it seamed to flow into one seamless efficiently written story.
The .....

Out Of This Furnace
.... the most monotony of whistles calling them to work, workers always would constantly hope that someday they could escape. For Kracha knows that to escape and to obtain freedom to run one's own farm or business requires money or capital. Finding jobs at the steel and iron furnaces, Kracha and his generation of Slovaks are only concerned with surviving and saving enough to go back home rich. Immigrants would work long hours, especially during the long shifts (Discussion, 10/11/99), for minimal wages, ris .....

Out, Out
.... he falls asleep and never wakes up again. The last sentence of the poem, "since they (the boys family and the doctor) were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" shows how although the boys death is tragic, people move on with their life in a way conveying the idea that people only care for themselves.
Frost uses different stylistic devices throughout this poem. He is very descriptive using things such as imagery and personification to express his intentions in the poem. Frost uses imagery whe .....

P.G. Wodehouse
.... war, Wodehouse moved to the United States, which he calls "the romance capital of the world" where he met his wife, Ethel Rowley (Babuser 1248). and settled, becoming a citizen in 1955. (Jasen 2). He lived out the rest of his life in Southampton, New York, where he wrote farces, short stories, and many other works of literature until his death on February 14, 1975. Wodehouse would later use his vast experiences to write his enormous collection of prose,etc. Wodehouse wrote many works of literature based o .....

Pain Has An Element Of Blank
.... some extent.
In continuation of "Pain's" inability to remember, She proceeds, "It cannot recollect When it begun - or if there were A time when it was not." "Pain's" inability to recollect further personifies it by also making it subject to the human ability to forget. Dickinson thus not only personifies "Pain," but makes it subject to the advance of time. This temporal placement of "Pain", establishes "Pain" within the context of the progression of time by giving it a Past, a Future, and presumably, .....

Paradise Found And Lost - Critique
.... the practice of sending regular military parties inland to subdue the increasingly hostile natives. Members of the indigenous population were captured and enslaved to support the fledgling colony. The object of Columbus’ desire changed from exploration and trade to conquest and subjugation.
Boorstin eloquently writes of the depreciating mentality of Columbus and his hopes. As each voyage is unsuccessful in producing Oriental splendors or in establishing relations with the Great Kahn, it becomes harder .....

Paradise Lost
.... of sin and evil came from the lead character in the battle against God, Satan. His name means "enemy of God." He was a former high angel from Heaven named Lucifer, meaning, "light bearer" (John). Satan became jealous in Heaven of God's son and formed an allegiance of angels to battle against God, only for God to cast them out of Heaven into Hell (Milton 35). This did not bother Satan at first since he became the leader in Hell rather than a servant in Heaven. Satan believed that it was, "Better to .....

Paradise Lost
.... is reminiscent of a garden,
then that is establishing Marías’ systematic view on how California is not a mere paradise but also having a bearing to the Garden of Eden. Furthermore, since
there are wild, untrammeled, and rugged forest lands
in the North Atlantic states; deserts in Arizona and New Mexico.
California is another matter, truly an oasis,
then once again we can see an image of California as being a desert garden. There are numerous accounts of examples .....

Paradise Lost
.... be no victory - they cannot beat God - they will at least have had some revenge. Moloch is seen as a towering pillar of strength but only by despair. Moloch is seen as an extremist. "which if not victory is yet revenge."
The next person to speak is Belial, a fair person but all that he says comes to nothing, the speech is "false and hollow", it sounds impressive but means nothing.
Mammon gets up next to present his speech. Mammon is against war because he knows that war agai .....

Paradise Lost
.... some things worse. Do you think that sitting here with each other, talking to each other, and being armed is the worst thing possible? I think not. What about when we laid in the burning lake? That surely was worse. What if the air that keeps those hot fires going blew seven times as hard and covered us in flames? Or if, from above, vengeance's arm should come down upon us and plague us? What if all of the holes in Hell were opened and fire shot out of every crevasse? War, I think, is a bad idea. .....

Paradise Lost
.... declares "So farewell Hope… Farewell Remorse: all Good to me is lost". This demonstrates his complete sense of despair, and thereby, his complete rejection of both God and His love.
When we look at Adam & Eve, we see what might be considered tragic "heroes" in the sense that they also knowingly doom themselves to be removed from Paradise, and subjected to the harsh, new world as well as death, and yet persevere with the hope for a better future. What makes their act of sin a .....

Paralytic - Sylvia Plath
.... of my sleeping couch
Photographs visit me-
My wife, dead and flat, in 1920 furs,
Mouth full of pearls,
Two girls
As flat as she, who whisper "We're your daughters."
The still waters
Wrap my lips,
Eyes, nose and ears,
A clear
Cellophane I cannot crack.
On my bare back
I sm .....
