The Storm By Kate Chopin
Number of words: 2368 - Number of pages: 9.... consciously speaking as a woman, but as an individual" (p169). One must question this assertion, however; it is doubtful that in writing "The Storm" so soon after completing her 'feminist' novel, Chopin had "the protest of "The Awakening" off her mind" (p169).
The Coming of the Storm
The title of "The Storm", with its obvious connotations of sexual energy and passion, is of course critical to any interpretation of the narrative. Chopin's title refers to nature, which is symbolically feminine; the storm can therefore be seen as symbolic of feminine sexuality and passion, and the image of .....

Jurassic Park: The Novel Vs.The Film
Number of words: 1125 - Number of pages: 5.... clinic
by military officers. The author continually gives clues, such as obvious
lies by the officers about how the man's injuries occurred, that this is
not a typical attack. Soon after this incident another mysterious attack
occurs. This time a young girl is bitten by an 'unknown' lizard on a Costa
Rican beach along with many other infant deaths in the surrounding area.
The evidence Crichton gives here is the fact that the lizard was of an
unknown species and, according to witnesses, carnivorous. It also had the
now impossible task of standing on its tail. Foamy, 'prehistoric' saliva .....

An Analysis Of The Yellow Wallpaper
Number of words: 594 - Number of pages: 3.... that patterns of the parts where lights shine right at it is the
non-active parts. It symbolizes women are more settle when men are
watching over them. Under their pressure, they don't dare to rebel against
them. Her wife sees images moving around on the dark side. That brings up
a big contradicting point comparing this to our present society. Back then,
woman does not have much freedom. They are under man's hands. Secretly
they tired to struggle through this strangle. But they failed after all.
My favorite passage of this story is on page 163. The detailed
description that .....

Romance And Gender Positions I
Number of words: 3012 - Number of pages: 11.... like Cesario's "beautiful scorn" and "angry lip" (136-137). Olivia's words allow an audience, particularly a modern one, to perhaps read her as suspecting or even knowing that Cesario is female, yet choosing to love him/her anyway.
Olivia's description of Cesario's beauty, both here and upon their first encounter, praises typically feminine qualities, but curiously doesn't question Cesario's gender. The comparison of love to guilt tempts the readers mind to wonder if Olivia is guilty about her love for such female attributes. Olivia's oath on maidenhood also tempts the reader toward .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Racism
Number of words: 539 - Number of pages: 2.... is unjust.
As the story progresses you learn the hate put onto a man solely due to his
color. Through a wise, just, man, Atticus, you learn that hate should
never be brought onto anyone. Prejudice is another example in which hate
should not be brought forth in.
To Kill a Mockingbird demonstrates prejudice through Boo Radley.
Boo shows us that thoughts can be brought onto a person, just because they
are different. People believe that he is a crazy man, due to the fact that
he never goes outside. The truth is that he is really a loving and caring
individual, who is just quiet and shy. He .....

Symbolism In The Scarlet Lette
Number of words: 642 - Number of pages: 3.... she did have a sense of what this letter meant, and would also make her own to wear. “Mother, the sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on your bosom. Now see! There it is, playing, a good way off. Stand you here, and let me run and catch it. I am but a child. It will not flee from me, for I wear nothing on my bosom yet” (192). This symbolizes Pearl’s constant curiousity and truth, and her knowing that the letter her mother must wear retricts her from being ‘loved by the sun’, in other words, Hester m .....

Chaucer's "The House Of Fame": The Cultural Nature Of Fame
Number of words: 2299 - Number of pages: 9.... work/s naturally crave and desire "fame"; they want their
subjects to remain fresh in the minds of their audience. Chaucer, while
neither totally praising the written nor the oral, reveals how essentially
the written word is far more likely to become eternal as opposed to the
oral. The relative "fame" of any work is dependent on many factors. Many
traditional and classical ideas result in the formation of the English
canon, yet as Chaucer indicates, the "fame" of these works can easily
become annihilated. The arrival of new readers with different ideals and
thereby changing tradition, .....

The Catcher In The Rye: Connection To The Title
Number of words: 924 - Number of pages: 4.... 115). It is difficult to understand why Holden is made happy by the
little boy's singing unless one has an idea of what the song means to Holden.
The little boy is described by Holden in gentle caring terms: "The kid was
swell. He was walking in the street, instead of on the sidewalk, but right next
to the curb. He was making out like he was walking a very straight line, the
way kids do, and the whole time he kept singing and humming." (Page 115).
Holden notes that the child's parents pay no attention to him. To Holden this
child represents innocence and youth unspoiled by adult immo .....

of the king and princess are also spoken of and used in the play. It has
an ancient Greek setting as well.
Theme: "What goes around comes around."
The theme of revenge in the sense of Medea's strong desire to seek revenge
on Jason.
Another possible theme of Medea may be that at times a punishment of
revenge should justify the crime - no matter how severe. Only a person in
such a situation (and greater beings) may know what to action to take in
th .....

Night 2
Number of words: 1622 - Number of pages: 6.... they take a certain amount of Jewish people into the center of the town square and then they let them sit there for a while. The next step was that they had to walk to the synagogue and then they had to walk to train after being in the synagogue for a day. Once they reach the train, the Hungarian police put eighty people in a thirty person train car. The next step is the long trip on the train, where people start going crazy, people not getting fed well and no room to sit. Life in the camp, the next step is when the train arrives at Auschwitz and then SS men ordered everyone out and makes .....
