Mama And Maggie Alice Walker
934 wordsBy contrasting family members in Everyday Use, Alice Walker illustrates the importance of understanding our present life in relation to the traditions of our own people and culture.

The conflict between Mama and Maggie, the younger sister, and Dee, the older sister, st...

True Identity Twelfth Night
506 wordsTwelfth Night: Two Faces, One Mind As in most comedies, William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night extensively uses disguises, masks and mistaken identities to add to the comical nature of the play. Violas disguise as Orsino's page, Cesario, becomes crucial to the action in the play. Without this important element, the action in the play would slow down dramatically, making the story much less intriguing. In addition to making the play less interesting, the disguise is also necessary to develop the sto...

Light In August Sound And The Fury
1,060 wordsWhat Time Is It? Faulkner's Representation of Time Faulkner's representation of time in As I Lay Dying, Light in August, and The Sound and the Fury is tangled and inconsistent. He switches back and forth between the distant past, the recent past, and the future, so it is sometimes difficult for the reader to keep track of the events happening within the novel. Why does Faulkner make the reader reach so far just to understand a story? Why do people read Faulkner if it is so dense and far-reaching...

His own people say this to him because of the way he abuses them.

Type Of Music Beginning Of The Play
740 wordsHuman emotions are something that we seldom find a way to express clearly: from simple hand gestures, to a disgusted face.

Death Of A Salesman Willy Loan
1,404 wordsDeath of a Salesman, written in 1949 by American playwright Arthur Miller, illustrates the destructive compulsion of a man to attain a success far beyond his reach. This is accomplished through the portrayal of Willy Loan, the plays central character. Willy Loan is a pathetic character because he does not hold any possibility of victory. Unrealistic dreams which are the product of a refusal to honestly acknowledge his abilities deter any triumph that Willy may have the ability to achieve. Throug...
