- 2351: 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.

John oppresses his wife too much by making her stay in the old room with stained wallpaper, not letting her write, ...
- 2352: Heart Of Darkness 2
- ... as a man, but a "dog in breeches". Therefore, no matter how educated or similar in appearance the Blacks become, they are still seen as being beneath the Whites. The natives are not given any personal traits or uniqueness unless they possess a similarity to the Whites. Even then we see no glimpse of humanity in their characters through Conrad's writing. From racism, the idea of civilization is brought about in terms of "darkness". Conrad uses the contrast of light and dark with relation to the civilized and the uncivilized. The light of course, represents civilization ...
- 2353: Heart Of Darkness 11
- ... Kurtz's relatives and acquaintances, the logical choices for passing on Kurtz's legacy to. Instead of giving them something of Kurtz that is truly significant, Marlow merely allows them to carry off some assorted personal items and letters. Even when face to face with the Intended, arguably the person that was closest to Kurtz, Marlow is unable to, as he puts it, "render Kurtz that justice which was his due ... pretty definitely by its aesthetic qualities, but interpretations of its meaning are likely to vary depending on the background and prior experiences of the people who see it. Conrad himself sums up his philosophy in writing Heart of Darkness very well in his reply to a critical article by his friend, Robert Curle. "Didn't it ever occur to you, my dear Curle, that I knew what I was doing in ...
- 2354: Hawthornes Life Versus Life In
- ... horrified and goes to deliver garments to the governor, Bellingham, and more importantly plead for the custody of her daughter. She meets there Chillingsworth, Dimmesdale, and another reverend John Wilson. Chillingsworth is now Dimmesdale s personal physician and is constantly growing closer to him carrying out a, scheme of vengeance, what could I do better for my object than to let thee live. . . (73). Hester begins to plead to Bellingham for ... and whirlwind (91). Hawthorne uses light and dark imagery to contrast Pearl s different moods, using light to show her better moods but darkness when describing her mischievous side. The second of Hawthorne s many writing techniques is his usage of historical facts to form a picture a the readers mind. This is effective because if the reader understands this symbolism, he receives a background of the subject which Hawthorne is ...
- 2355: 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 ...
- 2356: Comparison: Dover Beach And Do
- ... When has there ever been a serious poem that used the word "etc.?" It just seems misplaced and out of sorts in a poem. People simply do not normally use a word like that in writing, perhaps because it is so impersonal when usually poems are written with the intention of being very personal. Or perhaps it is just because a word like that doesn't really say much, and most poetic verses have each word strategically placed to the point that even words like "is" have a meaning ...
- 2357: Chopin And Ravel
- ... of the nineteenth century Romantic movement, which placed emphasis on individual feelings and emotions. It can be hypothesized that Chopin remained as a proponent of the Romantic Period in his compositional style, whilst Ravel, however, writing in the twentieth century, reverted to the Classical styles on occasions to gratify his own fascinations. Through the comparison of the musical elements of Chopin¡¦s Ballade in G minor, Op23 and Ravel¡¦s Alborada ... do not overcome his affinity for the clean melodic contours, distinct rhythms and firm structures of Classicism. He felt that technical mastery of his craft was of more importance and value than the expression of personal feelings. Amongst the many composers, Ravel admired Chopin for the richness of Chopin¡¦s harmonic sensibility, yet he loved Mozart. Ravel said ¡§I have always drawn inspiration generously from masters. I have never stopped studying ...
- 2358: Bouchards View Of Canadian His
- ... Andre Tremblay and Denis de Belleval. Tremblay was a member of the FLQ and de Belleval was a strong supporter of Rene Levesque. The result of such influences was clear in 1961 when Lucien began writing articles quite different from those he had written in Jonquiere. One of his articles titled "Separatism - Two Versions" describes how separatism need not be decided right now but if Quebec threatened to separate the rest ... favour f the NO side by less than one percentage point. Bouchard relayed his regret but emphasized that a democratic decision must be respected. However, two events followed the defeat that led to Bouchard's personal victory. The first event was the reaction in the media outside Quebec. There was no victory parties for the federalists because the nation had realized that the government had come so close to losing a ...
- 2359: The Arts And Crafts Debate
- ... the ordinary craftsman, thus there is a co-existence between the art ‘segment’, utilitarian craft ‘segment’, and artist craftsmen ‘segment’. This may be true in some respects but perhaps it could also be an individuals personal distinction between the fields. Whether they identify themselves more closely with traditional craftsmen or with the artist, or perhaps somewhere positioned in the void of ambiguity between the two segments. As with the many traditions ... good reflection of this idea is the work of Tasmanian furniture designer Kevin Perkins whose technical skills and ideas have won him great acclaim. He states “Things that you’re doing have got to get personal...if its just making, it doesn’t hit the spot for me. I’ve got to have a reason to do the work that gives me some excitement... Otherwise it’s just a bit of ... SEE ATTACHMENT Becker's examples illustrate well the transgressions between the worlds of art and craft they are still very relevant to the contemporary ideas today. What his explanation lacks in essence is the individuals personal distinction in the way they view their own work. As the art and craft industries evolve and change so does the need for us to be more accommodating to the fact that proper assessment ...
- 2360: W.B.Yeats And Leda And The Swan
- ... of her husband Tyndareus (Clytemnestra), and the immortal daughter of Zeus (Helen). We are left wondering if Leda knew the destinies of the children that had been set into motion with Zeus' rape of her. Writing the poem in a Petrarchan sonnet, Yeats sets a tone from the first three words: "A sudden blow" (1). Immediately, we are emotionally involved in the poem. His words indicate to the readers how suddenly ... Yeats' other works, "Leda and the Swan" seems to be rather open-ended. Yet, in allowing the reader to decide for themselves the answers to the questions, Yeats achieves not only beautiful, but also highly personal poems. With each interpretation, the significance of the poem to the reader will be different. And so, "Leda and the Swan" transcends culture and education and class, and even the Greek myth that it sprang ...
