Perspectives on The Scarlet Letter
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page research paper/essay that addresses 3 critical perspectives on this classic work. There is an old Buddhist parable that describes how a raja had six blind men examine an elephant and relate what they believe an elephant to be like. Each blind man touches a different part of the elephant: one the tail, another the trunk, etc. Consequently, the animal that they each describe is very different because they each have a totally different perspective. Similarly, literary criticism can take very different perspectives. While critics may be analyzing the same novel, their particular critical perspective can result in widely divergent interpretations of the author's narrative. This examination of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter demonstrates this point by looking at this early American masterpiece from three different critical perspectives: feminist, psychological and historical. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Peter & Hull/The Peter Principle
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page summation of Laurence F. Peter and Raymond Hull's The Peter Principle. The writer offers a chapter by chapter brief summation of the major points of this text, arguing that this an excellent parody on several levels, as it basically castigates the entire hierarchical structure of Western civilization. As with all good satire/parody, its humor lies in the fact that so much of it is true. The Peter Principle is as applicable today as it was 34 years ago when it was first published because it concerns a feature of human nature that has not changed, but rather become more entrenched in industrialized society -- incompetence. No additional sources cited.

Philip Caputo's "A Rumor Of War"
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. That Philip Caputo, son to a middle class family from Westchester, Illinois and Pulitzer Prize winner (Sweet, 7-8), was no different than any other red-blooded American off to war and ready to defend his country is made quite clear from the outset; what takes the reader by surprise, however, is the manner by which his enthusiastic idealism is soon replaced with the horrific realities of armed battle where people are killed without so much as a second thought. Caputo – who "gained literary prominence from the publication of his memoirs" (Anonymous 14) – turns into the very individual he at one time chastises for being weak and callous, never realizing until deeply entrenched within the blood and guts of battle that the transformation from foolhardy invincibility to desensitized murderer occurs in the blink of an eye. Only someone who has lived this hell on earth can reach the depths of dehumanized portrayal that Caputo does, choosing his words ever so carefully to depict the authenticity of being in the Vietnam war. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
