- 2271: John Updikess Pigeon Feather
- ... to write are in the original cast. There are parts for children of two generations: the one seen in a mirror, the other viewed from parental altitudes. Eventually, I imagine, that second generation will start writing stories about Mr. Updike's slowly aging cycle. That should keep the genealogists of lit'ry criticism busy, shouldn't I? At first glance Mr. Updike's range seems narrow. As a matter of fact ... his serious insight. His love of words and ideas for their own sake is almost Joycean, and he has often imitated Joyce in the almost mechanical way of someone doing an exercise in a creative-writing class: how his virtuosity must have charmed his writing teachers! His evident school-brightness and the first-class education it brought him provided every opportunity for the overdevelopment of his onomastic tendencies. They are most obvious in his verse ("Conceptually a blob,/ the ...
- 2272: Internal Conflicts Of Beloved
- ... didn't stop the pleasure they took in her soft 'Thank you.'" Although it was a necessity, Denver was able to break through the fear she had of society and of leaving 124. Her biggest personal weakness was resolved by the conclusion of the book, and she is prepared to enter into a spot in the community and not be excluded because of the actions of her mother and the overshadowing ghost of her baby sister. Sethe's retribution or personal reconciliation, however, was not nearly as smooth or complete as Denver's. Actually, Sethe's reconciliation was not even acheived within the confines of the book. It could very well have been, but the author took a less satisfying route towards the resolution which left a lot of questions concerning Sethe unanswered. In my personal (and humble) opinion, I believe that a much more satisfying ending would have involved Sethe getting rid of the spirit of Beloved on her own. Although, at the time of the "Misery" (the name ...
- 2273: How Does Jane Eyre Fulfil Your
- ... beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jane is better than the people whomock her. The proposal scene with Rivers is a prime example of the differences between how characters used to be, and how writing was changing at the time, moving from logic to feelings. It also helps to show us of Janes need and instinct to follow her heart's desires. Rivers is the old and Jane is the ... of them being wed would be the logical thing to do, and it would suit both himself and Jane. He tells her... "God and nature intended you for a missionary's wife. It is not personal, but mental endowments they have given you: you are formed for labour, not for love. A missionary's wife you must - shall be. You shall be mine - I claim you not for pleasure but for ...
- 2274: Hemingway And Alcohol
- ... live with it. The Snows of Kilimanjaro ties the trepidation of Hemingway s earlier works to the lament of his later works in a manner that again displays the level of maturity in his later writing. Awaiting his death, Harry remembers his youth and comments on his current relationship with the woman that accompanies him now in Africa. Like Nick Adams, in his recollections, Harry describes scenes that indicate the difficulty ... of relationships for him: he could never give himself wholly to his lover at least not wholly and truthfully. In his thoughts of the past, he also recalls how he had stalled and postponed his writing, always assuring himself that he would start when he had enough information to write all his stories, and to write them all well. Essentially, he remembers the fear of and trepidation over the expectations he ... m getting bored with dying as with everything else, he thought (Hemingway 73). Hemingway masterfully combines the lament over lost opportunity and unfulfilled potential with the trepidation of youth looking toward a daunting future by writing a story from the perspective of a dying man who simultaneously experiences both perspectives through vivid memories and an acute awareness of his present state. Harry remembers his potential and knows now that it ...
- 2275: Heart Of Darkness
- ... to another country and suffered much from the lack of language, knowledge of societal and cultural norms, and class differences. Nevertheless, Conrad s live in general played a tremendous role on influencing him in the writing of this novel. . Heart of Darkness details the story of Europeans who are cut off from civilization, overtaken by greed, exploitation, and material interest. Conrad develops themes of personal power, individual responsibility, and social justice. His novel has all the trappings of the conventional adventure tale-mystery, exotic setting, escape, suspense, and unexpected attack. The novel is a record of things seen and done ...
- 2276: Free Music: Why Not?
- ... everyone. This world is not much different than what the internet is like today, but all is confined, in a way, to its respective world—the internet world and the real world. A piece of writing printed out on eight and a half by eleven sheets of paper is nothing like a book. By no means does a downloaded divx avi movie even come close to the quality of a DVD ... it for myself. It turns out that I did and I ended up buying it. I imagine others have had similar experiences and whatever the outcome, it was best for the consumer. As I am writing this, I am listening to a couple CDs worth of Mp3.com’s “103 of the Best Songs You’ve Never Heard,” which has a variety of genres, artists, and songs that I have truly ... know exist. Exposure is very beneficial for artists; it allows them to be known, which aids in the sale of their music. Ian spends many hours each week keeping her website up to date and writing articles in order to gain more exposure (The Internet Debacle). That is also the reason she now offers free downloads of some of her music that has no associated label (The Internet Debacle). The ...
- 2277: Night
- My purpose for writing this report is to explain the book and express my personal feeling on the book Night and how I relate to it. CHARACTERS Besides the obvious charter (Eliezer) there are three characters that stand out. I picked characters from the beginning because they foreshadowed what was ...
- 2278: Hills Like White Elephants, Ye
- ... is a perfect housekeeper which gives comparison with the wife who is not. The wife wants to write, but she is expected to be a wife and a mother, and John does not like her writing, so she hides her writing. This story has a setting of 19th century where women were only expected to do housework so writing for women were unacceptable, since that would bother women from concentrating on housework. John oppresses his wife too much by making her stay in the old room with stained wallpaper, not letting her write, ...
- 2279: Harrison Ainsworth Rookwood An
- ... chose to base their stories on criminals, William Harrison Ainsworth s Rookwood and Jack Sheppard are two of the best examples of the theme of crime and punishment in the nineteenth century. Ainsworth started his writing career as a writer of Gothic stories for various magazines. Gothic elements are included in Ainsworth s novel: the ancient hall, the family vaults, macabre burial vaults, secret marriage, and so forth (John, 1998, p ... Rookwood was Dick Turpin, a highwayman executed in 1739. However, echoing Bulwer, Ainsworth s explanation for his interest in Dick Turpin (like Bulwer s explanation in his choice of Eugene Aram as a subject) is personal and familial (John, 1998, p. 31). Though the basis of the novels seem similar, Ainsworth treated Dick Turpin in a different way than Bulwer treated Eugene Aram. Ainsworth romanticizes history, but basically sticks to the ...
- 2280: Shakespeare Finds Love On A Midsummer Night
- ... the faeries in Act 2 when he is introduced. In human nature and all its facets, there is a certain amount of inherent mirth, including sarcasm, and Shakespeare does not neglect this mirth in his writing. First, humor is used as a sort of release valve. When the emotional tension begins to run too high, one of the characters will utilize this humor, as does Lysander to Demetrius in a heated ... Oberon and Titania fight but eventually rejoin. Oberon longs for a beautiful changeling boy of Titania’s court; he is the most beautiful mortal ever seen by the faeries, and Oberon takes it as a personal insult when Titania refuses to relinquish him. Titania knows of Oberon’s many mortal affairs, including Hippolyta, the fiancée of the duke. This makes her incredibly jealous and bitter, even though she herself had an ...
