University Of Wisconsin Ancient Greece
706 wordsLarson, Jennifer Greek Heroine Cults. University of Wisconsin Press, 1995. Jennifer Larson's extensive knowledge on the subject of ancient women, goddesses, gods, and mythology is very apparent in this book. I found the book difficult to read as one would read a novel or even a textbook. However, I thought that Larson's very detailed (and referenced and cross-referenced) descriptions of heroine cults would make an excellent reference book. This comprehensive book details Greek heroin cults and t...

School To Work System
451 wordsThere is a new system called S. T. W (school-to-work) introduced by Marc Tucker, the president of the National Center of Education and the economy. This scheme however, is not totally valid or at least this is the case for Phyllis Schlafly, the president of the eagle forum and the publisher of the monthly Education Reporter since 1986. The two ideas will be introduced clearly later. Tucker wants to put a new master "restructuring" plan for more than 50 % of public school children. The plan is to...

Contemporary Literary Criticism Detroit Gale Research
1,190 words... mankind's search for the truth and perfection of existence. Man always has at least two parts of him to contend with, the moral side and the more human side. He is able to come to terms with himself through ritual. With worship, man is able to grasp a small understanding of immortality and God. Ritual is the tool with which John Updike uses to reach the point of existence and meaning. What seems to be dull and monotonous is actually a celebration of life. Most people associate ritual as a pr...

Macbeth Time And Evil
447 wordsThe Shakespearean tragedy of Macbeth is one of the shortest of all his plays. The story of one man's determination to secure his position as king has become a literary classic around the world. Many critics have applied their input on what they believe to be the proper analysis of Macbeth. However Phyllis Rackin's interpretation of the play has become the counter balance to which I place my critique. Rackin's criticism of Macbeth employs both the importance of time and the overwhelming power of ...

Hard Boiled Keyes Walter
320 wordsIn comparison to which a preferred more, I would prefer the movie over the novel. Combining the theatrical elements of Hollywood film noir, Chandlers (screen-writer) dialogue skills, and Cains hard-boiled style, the film gives a better insight to the triangular relationship between Phyllis, Walter, and Keyes. In the film, we see that Walter is in a never-ending conflict to assert himself over Phyllis, and at the same time, to become more intimate with Keyes. Through the dialogues extensive use o...

Detroit Gale Research E E Cummings
1,672 wordsIs the of style e. e. cummings poetry its true genius, or the very reason the works should be called drivel? Alfred Kazin says that the poets style is arrogant and slap stick and that cummings is the duality of the traditionalist and the clown (155). Others, such as Richard P. Blackmur, say his technique is an insult to the writing profession. He says that cummings poetry would only appeal to those with a childish spirit (140).

Hope For The Future Social Ills
2,456 wordsIt is unfairly noted that Native Literature written by Natives offends many readers with its discussion of the first-hand social ills affecting fellow Natives. However, the typical stories of Euro-Canadian relations constructed outside the Aboriginal thought imprisons all Aboriginals into stereotypes which obscure and distort their very real experiences. The obligation of the Native artist is to remain grounded in cultural soil and ideals, which is determined by Euro-Canadian standards, while at...
