Ann Banks' "First Person America" And John Ford's "Stagecoach": Representation Of Social and Economic Changes In The 1930s
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Ann Banks' "First Person America" and John Ford's "Stagecoach" individually represent a changing class-consciousness related to modifying economic and social conditions of the 1930s. Indeed, it can readily be argued that imaginative texts do not directly document such experiences of the 1930s, but rather they indirectly represent conflicts, tensions, changing values and the ever shifting conditions of the particular setting.

Ann Sexton: Cinderella.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) At a turning point in art history, Marcel Duchamp turned a porcelain urinal, upside down and hung it on the wall, labeling it art, after he signed it "R. Mutt." The supposed sophisticated community at large took that to mean - "whatever I say is art, is art." The same argument could be made for a poet. If the poet says it is a poem. Is it then a poem, or does it have to follow certain structure, form or meaning to get that title? In this discussion we will examine the poem, Cinderella by Anne Sexton, within two categories, meaning and mechanics, and see how it stands on its own.

Anna of the Five Towns
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing capitalism in the book, “Anna of the Five Towns,” by Arnold Bennett. Bennet’s book is a very stereotypical novel, at least in its characterizations. But it is this very aspect of the literary work that is so very essential to defining the realities of capitalism, both in the novel and in reality. The characters are either victims of capitalism, or perfect examples of rigid successes. It is a very intriguing look into the past, as well as the present. No additional sources cited.

Anne Bradsreet/In Reference to Her Children, 23 June 1659
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page explication of this poem by Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672), America's first published poet, who wrote her verse while raising eight children, and performing all of the wifely duties expected of Puritan wife in colonial New England (Anne Bradstreet). While Bradstreet stepped somewhat outside the societal sphere of hearth and home, which was the accepted realm of women, by writing verse, her verse underscored her understanding of the domestic role, and therefore, did not offend Puritan society. Her poem "In Reference to her Children, 23 June 1659" expresses a mother's pride at the accomplishments of her children, as well as mother's fears at having her little ones leave the "nest" and fly away on their own. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Anne Bradstreet/Rhetoric, Themes & Style
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper essay that analyzes and discusses the work of Anne Bradstreet, who was the first American poet to have her work published. Bradstreet accomplished this while simultaneously raising eight children within the social context of Puritan colonial society, which had strict views on appropriate decorum and gender roles. While it violates Puritan concepts of the appropriate role for a woman by Bradstreet entering the public arena as a published author, examination of her rhetoric, themes and style demonstrates why Bradstreet’s work met with widespread approval. Basically, this was because her poems demonstrated her dedicated religious orientation and her love and dedication to her family. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Anne Tyler/Women & Social Isolation
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page essay that discusses Anne Tyler's novels Celestial Navigation and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. Anne Tyler's novels have been described as "songs written in the key of hardship" (Patrick 24). In many of Tyler's narratives, her female protagonists are isolated, divorced from the company of other women, which denies them the sort of social support that women draw on from each other. In Tyler's novels, also, mothers are seldom resources for daughters. They are frequently out of touch with who their daughters are and are too caught up in their own emotional needs to tend to those of their children. Daughters who are raised by such mothers find that they, likewise, have no emotional resources on which to draw to nourish their own children and the cycle perpetuates itself. Furthermore, the women's emotional isolation prevents them from developing any sort of true intimacy with the men in their lives. These isolated, emotionally-starved women find themselves primarily in their situations due to breakdowns in communication, as well as misplaced assumptions about what is important in life. This pattern of development is particularly clear in Tyler's novels Celestial Navigation and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Annie Dillard’s “Seeing”
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the various methods that Annie Dillard uses to define and describe ways of seeing. “What you see is what you get” (Dillard 140). And what we see, according to Dillard, is only that which we are prepared to see. We can construct a variety of methods of categorizing and classifying all manner of life events and occurrences, but these constructs only provide a framework that defines what we are able to see. Bibliography lists 1 source.
