- 2621: Response To A Clean Well-light
- ... will call the Gentleman, -- to keep the confusion minimal between the old man and the old waiter -- in A Clean Well-Lighted Place cannot be happy without his wife. The two waiters represent the Gentleman s battle of his inner consciousness. The waiters portray the demons of the Gentleman s personal heaven and hell. We recognize this by Hemingway s use of characterization. Hemingway never identifies a particular part to the extended dialogue, because ultimately it is one stream of consciousness (the Gentleman s). This reveals everything is nothing to the old man; though ...
- 2622: Feminism And Gender Equality I
- ... status of women have improved considerably in the last century; however, gender equality has recently been threatened within the last decade. Blatantly sexist laws and practices are slowly being eliminated while social perceptions of "women's roles" continue to stagnate and even degrade back to traditional ideals. It is these social perceptions that challenge the evolution of women as equal on all levels. In this study, I will argue that subtle ... sexism continues to exist throughout educational, economic, professional and legal arenas. Women who carefully follow their expected roles may never recognize sexism as an oppressive force in their life. I find many parallels between women's experiences in the nineties with Betty Friedan's, in her essay: The Way We Were - 1949. She dealt with a society that expected women to fulfill certain roles. Those roles completely disregarded the needs of educated and motivated business women and scientific ...
- 2623: The Catcher in the Rye: Holden's Insight About Life and World
- The Catcher in the Rye: Holden's Insight About Life and World The book Catcher in the Rye tells of Holden Caulfield's insight about life and the world around him.

Holden, throughout the book, made other people ... that Holden and I are much more similar than I initially believed. Holden portrayed others to be inferior to his own kind all throughout the book. He made several references as to how people aren't as perfect as he was. "The reason he [Stradlater] fixed himself up to look good was because he was madly in love with himself." (pg. 27) Holden had an inferiority complex. He was afraid ...
- 2624: The Work of Cormac McCarthy
- ... McCarthy Cormac McCarthy, the author of many "American styled" novels such as Blood Meridian, All the Pretty Horses, and The Crossing, writes very good stories that appeal to the senses and the soul. He doesn't have famous writing "heroes" that give him an inspiration to write, nor give him ideas of what to write. Because of this lack of models, McCarthy has some characteristics of other famous American authors, but ... that is shown in all of his novels, and ties together The Crossing and its predecessor All the Pretty Horses using expressive theme, obscure symbols, eerie motifs, and a unequaled prose. When looking at McCarthy's writing as a whole, one can see a style that is beyond the "norm." Critics compare his work to life in our world, "…his singular ability to convey the world not so much as a place of pigeon holes but rather of endless questions, none more clearly explained than another" (Young 100), and they compare his work to life beyond the realm of our world, "McCarthy's metaphysical assumptions are existential. Human consciousness of the past exists within each person in memories and contacts, held in an ongoing meaning by individuals as fragments, subject to loss as memory dims and subject ...

- 2628: The Analysis of Several Works of Joyce Maynard: Life's Not Over Yet
- The Analysis of Several Works of Joyce Maynard: Life's Not Over Yet Throughout this course we have focused primarily on families, their relationships, problems, lifestyles, and even death.

Valgardson was my personal favorite, the main character was Fusi, a man who himself knew he was getting old, but that didn't mean he had to accept it, as Fusi was a n old man with attitude, an attitude determined to not let himself down or life. “God will punish you.” She promised in a low, intense ... view, instead of taking up her time to get rid of her father so she can use the house and God to make profit for herself and that snobbish spouse of hers. If she didn't think about herself all the time she'd realize a valuable lesson “Life's short so try to have fun while you can, always try to get the most out of it, because before ...

- 2630: Dover Beach By Matthew Arnold
- Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has evolved into one of the most acclaimed pieces of literature in modern American society. One aspect of a continual spark of interest with the novel is motion pictures. Various directors through the years have interpreted the book through their own eyes and the following is a depiction of that. One might question Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’s overwhelming success. Theme restaurants, Broadway shows and movies all have indicated a public interest in the classic. Americans especially have been fascinated with Stevenson’s portrayal of the split personality Dr. Jekyll whom many can relate too. The first movie that I decided to use for this examination is the 1932 restored version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, ...
