Clean Well Lighted Place Cat In The Rain
1,154 words... himself with a shotgun. Ernest Hemingway takes much of the storylines of his short stories from his personal experiences. In "Soldier's Home" Hemingway expresses the alienation from bourgeois American culture that many returning soldiers felt. Harold Krebs, who is the main character in the story, feels this alienation when he returns to the U. S. He came back much later than the other soldiers. Everyone heard the same stories from all the soldiers, so Krebs felt the need to lie about the sto...

Franz Kafka Hunger Artist
1,045 wordsBeginning my response I would like to say first that I really enjoyed this book. I believe that from four stories that Kafka combined together "A Hunger Artist" is by far the most celebrated and studied. This story really feels at once dream-like and utterly real; no such hunger artist could exist as Kafka describes it, yet all the events and feelings in the story seem true to life. The ending of Franz Kafka's The Hunger Artist at first glance it seemed to me to be lacking something. The Artist ...

F Scott Fitzgerald Main Characters
1,064 wordsThe Beautiful and Damned Starting my essay I would like to say that I really enjoyed the book. But I also believe that the way F. Scott Fitzgerald writes and portrays the main characters and the society that they live in is extremely cruel. The story depicts a young couple that came from very rich families. Their life values and believes added up to careless life with no work but full of entrainment, fun, show and alcohol. They knew what money was and what they could give a person. But did not h...

Women In Society Nineteenth Century
993 wordsHow Writing is Affected by Gender "The average man is a rectangular, square-cut, matter of fact, sober minded animal who does not receive impressions easily, who is not troubled with emotions and has no overmastering desire to communicate his sensations to anybody.

Using photorealistic paintings and mythological sculptures in her artwork, Audrey Flack restores the power of both femininity and feminism. Audrey Flack was born in 1931 in New York City, and as far back as she can remember, she had alway...

J D Salinger Catcher In The Rye
927 wordsCatcher in the Rye There s far more to the censorship issue than a ban on sex and four-letter words. I sometimes think that those of us who need to be the most clearheaded about these matters are planting the very trees that obscure our view of the forest, says Dorothy Briley. According to Briley, a vast amount more is needed than simply vulgar language and suggestive material to censor a novel. But this is the very reason why J. D. Salinger s The Catcher in the Rye is frequently being banned fr...

End Of The Play Universal Appeal Kate
676 wordsThe play, Taming of the Shrew is one of Shakespeare s comedies. It portrays the humorous events regarding the suiting of Kate, a shrew dwelling in the city of Padua. It portrays many ideas about love and marriage that do not quite fit with our current views and what we know about relationships. It can be argued that the comedy of the play makes it universal, but it contains some themes that will not be received in the same light as they were during Shakespeare s time. The comedy is still mostly ...

Midsummer Night Dream Hermia And Lysander

The characters flee from reality to escape the laws that govern everyday life in Athens. The importance of imagination reveals itself when the constraints of everyday life are lost in this realm.

Idea Of Love Kind Of Love
1,384 wordsDaniel wrote a conventional love sonnet using the traditional Petrarchan style of putting the idea of love, or the mistress, on a pedestal. Shakespeare turned these ideas on their heads by portraying a mistress who was by no means special and most certainly unappealing. In comparing Daniels Sonnet 6 and Shakespeare's Sonnet 130, I have come to the conclusion that Daniel s and Shakespeare's ideas of the perfect lady and of true life on the most part differed. During Daniels time there was a tradi...
