- 183: A Domestic Dilemma By Carson M
- Carson McCuller’s story “A Domestic Dilemma” depicts a family torn by both compassion and suffering. Martin, a loving and understanding husband must deal with his family’s problems. Martin’s wife, Emily, distraught by her new environment, initiates her family’s difficulties with her drinking habits. The story examines a family’s severe problems, and yet also illustrates the depth of love and loyalty that allows people to survive adversity.

- ... 1018) would naturally secure for them. In this instance, Theseus’ transgression leads to Palamon and of the lowest holding cells possible, he situated their prison within a high tower. Consequently, Palamon and Arcite could spot Emily from their "purgatorie" (1226). Emily’s interloping beauty incites another fundamental switch in character interaction within the Knight’s Tale. The Thebians begin the story as friends, addressing each other as, "Cosyn myn" (1081). But almost immediately after Emily’s invasion "thurghout" Palamon’s "ye" (1096), the two knights fall into the conflict that dominates the rest of their lives. In under one hundred lines, Chaucer notes, "Greet was the strif and long ...
- 185: The Pencil Box
- THE PENCIL BOX Nobody liked Jane. As soon as Emily Sweet found that copy of Anne of Green Gables a three-hundred-page-long book! in Jane s faded purple kindergarten backpack, that was it. Any hope Jane had for a normal life, for swing ... window for Jane to get lost in the streets of St. Petersburg, beggar women, schisms and Sonia. The class was silent. The class was bored. The class didn t care about the history of pears. Emily Sweet was first to break the silence. Jordan Peters was first to break the boredom. Jordan thought it would be funny to toss rolled up wads of paper, aiming them for the ramp made by the spine of an open copy of Crime and Punishment a five-hundred-page-long book. Jane didn t even honor him with a dirty look. Jane kept on reading. It was Emily Sweet sauntering up to the hot pink box and announcing over the sounds of the movie that she was going to be a brainiac just like Jane that really changed the day. Everyone laughed ...
- 186: The Canterbury Tales: The Perfect Love
- ... mutual respect for each partner. My idea of love is one that combines aspects from each of the tales told in The Canterbury Tales. In "The Knights Tale", the love between the two knights and Emily is intensely powerful.

At one point Palomon says to Arcite, " Though I have no weapon here . . . either you shall die or you shall not love Emily." The love that Palomon feels for Emily is so overwhelming that he is willing to take on an armed man, in mortal combat, just for the love of a woman. Perhaps he feels that ...
- 187: I Stand Here Ironing Literary
- ... few different times when I would get up in the middle of the night and sit snuggling both of them in my lap, sneaking that quiet time. Tillie did something of the same sort when Emily had to stay home from school, "Sometimes, after Susan grew old enough, I would keep her home from school, too, to have them all together." We both did what we had to do. Charles and ... as diametrically opposite as two people can be. Charles has always preferred quiet times by himself 'writing', coloring or drawing. It is not often he shows the natual exuberance of a child. He's like Emily, "she had a physical lightness and brightness twinkling by on skates, bouncing like a ball up and downup and down over the jump rope, skimming over the hill; but these were momentary." Kevin, on the ... saying, "Look what I did for you Mom." There is a good deal of similarity between my two children and Tillie's first two children. Susan, the younger sister, was "everything in appearance and manner Emily was not; Susan, not able to resist Emily's precious things, losing or sometimes clumsily breaking them; Susan telling jokes and riddles to company for applause while Emily sat silent (to say to me ...

G. Bauzyte observes that in his negativism, Hughes is close to the American poet Emily Dickinson. In his Manichaean vision of the world darkness often prevails over light, cold over warmth, hatred over love (4:163). Speaking of predecessors, Hughes is said to be kindred to Dylan Thomas in ...
- 189: Its Never A Womans Fault
- ... s lives have been affected and afflicted by these expectations of a woman s role, and in the end has had a negative impact on their lives.

As a young girl her mother died, leaving her to be the woman figure in her father s ...
- 190: The Works of William Faulkner
- ... one that used literary devices, subthemes (such as women oppressed), and his main theme of the decline of the blue blood south. This writing manner was Faulkner’s greatest contribution to literature. A Rose for Emily is a gothic tale of a woman who was held back by her status in society, and is left alone with only the crumbling remains of that gentility to support her. One of the most powerful devices used in this story is that the narrator is the town as a whole. Faulkner used this abstract view to supply the reader with unsympathetic emotions towards Emily. This unreceptive view is shown after Emily purchases arsenic, ”So the next day we all said, “She will kill herself”; and we said it would be the best thing.”(720 Faulkner). The impersonal outlook held by this narration allows readers only ...
