"Managemment Of Grief" And "A Pair Of Tickets": Women's Images
Number of words: 882 - Number of pages: 4.... brought up women; we were dutiful
wives who kept our heads veiled, our voices shy and sweet" (543). Only this
time the statement is ironic. Shaila's actions show us that she is far from the
voiceless, week female she was brought up to be.
Shaila was not responsible for her own heredity. She could not control much of
her environment in which she was brought up, but she had the power and internal
strength to face the life with her individual rejoinder. She admits to being
"trapped between worlds" (543), and we can feel the internal struggle between
"traditional" and "rebellious" tend .....

Annotations From The Narrative
Number of words: 1628 - Number of pages: 6.... of Frederick’s aunt. In any case, there was no mention of it, especially to Frederick. He was not allowed to have this kind of knowledge.

Analysis Of Chris Marker's "La Jetee", And Roland Barthes's "Camera Lucida"
Number of words: 5041 - Number of pages: 19.... about the
nature of photography itself.
One of the most interesting aspects of this study, and also the
most challenging, is the nature of Marker's “film” itself. Simply the fact
that I have to put the word film in quotes when applying it to La Jetee is
