J D Salinger Museum Of Natural History
641 wordsIn The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger used symbolism throughout the novel. Three major symbols were the ducks, the Museum of Natural History, and Jane Gallagher. They all represent Holden in a way, and Salinger uses these symbols very well. While Holden is wandering around New York City, he asks many people about what happens to the ducks in the pond when it freezes. I think this really symbolizes Holden. He isnt really wondering about the ducks, he is wondering about himself. He wants to kn...

Point Of View Literary History
1,072 wordsNabokov's Pnin is a novel that incorporates all of its interior and exterior ideas into its story, or in the words of Brian Stonehill is a self-conscious novel.

Russian Empire Arms Race

Many reviewers thought that the title sheer nonsense since the Soviet Empire was already falling apart; but Drucker, never attempted to prognosticate or forecast anything, but he attempted to describe the realities of our present world. By describing how the Russian Empire was falling apart, he gave us the time to develop a plan to face the effects of this im...

Walter White The Causes Of Chicago Race Riot
692 wordsWalter White, The Causes of the Chicago Race Riot From Walter Whites article The Causes of the Chicago Race Riot, which was published in 1919, immediately following the ill-famed race riot in Chicago, it appears that its causes were much more complicated than usually accepted.

White gives us 8 causes behind the riots and...

Treatment Of Women Womens Rights
676 wordsAs a female in a highly patriarchal society, Anne Bradstreet uses the reverse psychology technique to prove the point of her belief of unfair and unequal treatment of women in her community. Women who wrote stepped outside their appropriate sphere, and those who actually published their work frequently faced social censure. Compounding this social pressure, many women faced crushing workloads and struggled with lack of leisure for writing. Others suffered from an unequal access to education, whi...

Beatrice And Benedick Benedick And Beatrice
1,148 wordsIn the first essay, written by Jean Howard, the main idea or thesis seems to focus on the anti theatrical aspects of the play. The actual thesis would be Shakespeare employs anti theatrical discourse in a way that advantages certain social groups without calling attention to the fact that it does that. Howard takes a Marxist approach to the play. She looks at how the conflict intertwines itself and makes a constant reference to the social aspects of each of the characters in the play. Howard sta...

Creative Thought Public Schools
1,110 wordsSchool Bells Essay I found Lewis Lapham's article School Bells in the August, 2000 edition of Harpers magazine to be not only convincing, but also easy to relate to and truthful. The contents of the article have far-reaching and thought-provoking implications. Much of his argument rests on the nearly indisputable belief that if we, as a nation, devoutly wished to reform or even revolutionize the educational system in place, we undoubtedly could. Factual proof of this is found throughout the hist...

Eliot's poem The Hollow Men evokes a sense of desolate hopelessness and lends to Eliot's generally cynical view of civilization during this period in history. A reaction of deep and profound disappointment in mankind around him is made evident in this poem, first published in 1925. In this short piece, Eliot lists several deep faults he finds in his fellow human beings, including hypocrisy, insensibility and i...
