Make A Living American Society
1,974 words
The past five weeks in my life have really had an
impact on me. In such a short period of time, I
have become more aware of the different cultures
that exist around the world today. We tend to
think that our way of life is the only way there
is, or at least the only right way. It is really
very ignorant to think that everyone believes and
behaves the same way. People should stop being so
self-centered and take notice and interest in
cultural diversity. There are numerous different
cultures in ou...

Feminism In Jane Erye
1,345 words
Feminism is a very contradictory theme throughout
literary history. It does not have to be seen as a
complete rebellion against men, but can simply
represent intelligence and self-worth in a female.
This philosophy is shown in many of the works of
Charlotte Bronte. She uses independence as a
keynote in her thinking about her own life and the
life of all unmarried women (Ewbank 157). One such
work is Jane Erye. In this novel Charlotte Bronte
personifies her philosophy through the main
character o...

Represents The Things Witches Brew Spider
937 words
In the poem Design by Robert Frost, the classic
use of the color white, meaning innocence and
purity is turned around. Instead of giving this
color to wholesome, pure objects he gives them to
objects that are the reverse, which are death,
darkness and unholy objects. When I read the poem
Design I got the feeling that the author did not
feel the same as I do about the color white. The
first line talks about a fat white spider. This
line contradicts the reputation that spiders have.
When I see a s...

Miss Havisham Twenty Minutes
1,043 words
Charles Dickens was a writer whose style of
characterization was unlike that of any other
writer during his time. Dickens was gifted with
being able to create characters who have unique
traits, personalities, complexities and flaws. For
example, in the novel Great Expectations, first
published in 1861, Dickens is able to create a
world in which the characters have complex
personalities and character traits, most of them
seeming to stem from psychological roots. The
character of Miss Havisham is ...

University Of Toronto Edmund Spenser
2,022 words
Edmund Spenser vs. Virgil and Ariosto Some
scholars believe Spenser did not have sufficient
education to compose a work with as much
complexity as The Faerie Queene, while others are
still extolling him as one of the most learned men
of his time (587). Scholar Douglas Bush agrees,
scholars now speak less certainly that they once
did of his familiarity with ancient literature
(587). In contrast, Merit Hughes finds no evidence
that Spenser derived any element of his poetry
from any Greek Romance (...

Epithalamion is an Epithalamion Epithalamion
Epithalamion is an interesting mixture of
negatives and positives for me. I found parts of
it interesting and well written. However, I found
other parts that I am less enthusiastic about.
Spenser used many different devices in this poem
that make it stand out from many other similar
poems from the same time period. Epithalamion is a
wedding song, traditionally sung on the threshold
of the bedchamber. It was usually narrated by a
sort of emcee, but Spe...

accentuate certain things. William Shakespeare

and A Midsummer Night? s Dream. In both of these
comedic plays, there is a set of women who are at

Death Of His Mother Victor Frankenstein

Frankenstein, or Frankenstein 2 Frankenstein
Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, by Mary
Shelley is a horror story. However, its
ghoulishness involves the way that we treat each
other and how self-centered we can be when chasing
our ambitions. The novel teaches the powerful
lesson that passion intemperate by moral
responsibility leads to destruction. The novel
opens in the desolate Alps with Dr. Victor
Frankenstein telling his horrid tale to Walton, an
explorer on a voyage to search for the ...

eccentric but interesting main character named
Miss Havisham. Miss Havisham was introduced in the

Charnelle Lilley The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Summary and images: 2 - 5 - 99 The poem is a
parable of the road between sin and repentance.
The ancient mariner is telling of the fall or the
sin itself. The journey of the sinner is a lonely
one, which is the feeling received by the land of
ice. The journey is storm tossed and full of fear.
There is a price to pay for sinning and the road
of repentance is full of ups and downs. The
mariner tries to pray, but is unable because of

One With Nature Wedding Guest
349 words
Does Coleridge agree with the interpretation of
the moral as given by the simple mariner, as seen
in the ending stanzas? After this terrific bout
with nature, and the deep messages which may be
derived, the mariner ends the poem by
simplistically saying that the moral is to just
love all things. Yet the wedding guest seemed to
get more from this, as he was stunned and brings
thoughts of this tale to the next day, a wiser
man. Perhaps all the narration shift has to do
with the fact that this simp...
