Kate Chopin/Region in The Awakening
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that discusses how Chopin used regional flavor and culture effectively in her novel. The writer argues that region plays a particularly important role in this work as this novel largely concerns the social, psychological and sexual repression of the protagonist, Edna Pontellier, and the changes that she undergoes when she leaves the strict Protestantism of her father's Kentucky home for life with her new husband in New Orleans. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Kate Chopin/Story of an Hour
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines Chopin's nineteenth century short story. Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" (1894) is one of the most anthologized short stories in American literature and numerous students have "grappled" with the story's implications as to gender in nineteenth century American society (Deneau 210). Modern readers debate as whether Louise, Chopin's protagonist, is "a normal, understandable, sympathetic women" or if is she "an egocentric, selfish monster or anomaly" (Deneau 210). This question cannot be reasonably considered outside the restrictive gender stereotyping of that era. When the modern reader understands the nature of Victorian society from a woman's standpoint, it becomes possible to see that Louise is not a monster. She loves her husband, but just as one can be fond of one's jailer, it is nevertheless pleasant to be let out of jail. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Kate Chopin/The Storm
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that summarizes and analyzes Kate Chopin’s short story “The Storm.” The writer first discusses how Chopin’s perspective differed from the stereotype for women prevalent in the 19th century, which pictures women as asexual. The writer than explains that Chopin wrote stories containing overt sensuality, in which she pictured women as sexual beings and sex as a natural part of all human behavior, male and female. Chopin’s “The Storm” illustrates this point. No additional sources cited.

Katherine Anne Porter/Relations Between Generations
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page essay, which discusses the work of Katherine Anne Porter, an American writer from the first half of the twentieth century who is primarily famous for her finely crafted short stories. While Porter's short fictional works stand alone as self-contained narratives, the characters she creates tend to appear in multiple stories, forming, collectively, a cohesive story line. This feature is evident in four short stories that outline the relationship which a particular grandmother, Sophia Jane Rhea, has with her grandchildren, one of which is Miranda, who recurs throughout many of Porters stories. The relations between the generations that these stories portray is one in which the generation of the Old South, that is adults who were products of antebellum Southern society, still rule. However, Porter pictures how the "Old Order," as she refers to it is passing. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Katherine Paterson’s “The Great Gilly Hopkins”: Its Application to Learning about Learning Disabilities
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing how Katherine Paterson’s novel “The Great Gilly Hopkins” is beneficial in the educational system. Katherine Paterson’s novel “The Great Gilly Hopkins” has become one of the most recommended reading materials within middle schools across North America in its ability to address the character of Gilly who has undergone several transitions throughout the foster care system and is considered an example of a child with reactive attachment disorder (RAD). The novel was written for youths aged 9-12 (the central character, Gilly is 11) and within the classroom environment has allowed teachers to introduce mature and realistic subject matter to their students which will lead to a better understanding and tolerance of children who are not from traditional, supportive family environments and who have developed mechanisms or defensive behaviors which allow them to cope with their situation. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Kathleen Norris’ “Dakota: A Spiritual Geography”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page analysis of Kathleen Norris’ “Dakota: A Spiritual Geography”. Tutorial language appears throughout the text in square brackets as an aid for writers in their analysis. Kathleen Norris’ 1993 book “Dakota: A Spiritual Geography” relates the spiritual journey and shift Norris and her husband have experienced since moving to South Dakota twenty years ago to tend the family farm. Although a Protestant, she has become an oblate to the local Benedictine monastery and has come to appreciate their isolated and peaceful existence. Norris and the monks’ spirituality are heavily connected to the landscape which is beautifully described by Norris’ poetic and artistic hand but it is a landscape and an existence which must be chosen by an individual in order to be appreciated according to Norris. In a time when materialism and wealth seem to have become prevalent motivators in the world, Norris reveals to readers how spiritually satisfying her life has become as she has been able to center herself in relation to her landscape and the community she has adopted. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
