Louise Erdrich’s Shadow Tag is about a dysfunctional marriage. However, it features characters that were both hurt and helped by the recording and, to some degree the commodification of American Indian history. American Indian history both helps and hurts the characters in Shadow Tag. There are some factors that make the difference between helping and hurting each character. In addition, some characters benefit more from their past compared to others. In contrast, some characters hurt more from their pass send some of their counterparts.

I think Madeleine L'engle wrote this book because she wanted to express what it was like or what it could have been like being at camp for so long. She discovered a lot of things being at camp like maybe there was some mysteries or times when they couldn’t find a person.

Curiosity is one of the recurring themes in Carol Ann Duffy’s collection of poems Mean Time, and it is explored in a number of interesting ways. One way in which she explores this theme, for instance, is through the use of an adult persona recollecting or reminiscing about childhood experiences. Similarly, in the novel Waterland Graham Swift also presents curiosity as a central theme of the narrative. In his novel, curiosity appears to be the catalyst behind many of the incidents that occur throughout the novel. This essay will therefore look into the different ways in which this theme of curiosity is explored and represented in both texts: how pursuing curiosity leads to certain events and the repercussions associated with it, its paramount significance and the relationship between childhood curiosity and innocence. The extracts and poems that will be analysed are Chapter 7 ‘Holes and Things’, Chapter 27 ‘About Natural History’ and Chapter 29 ,’Detective Work’ from Waterland and Duffy’s ‘Litany’, ‘Stafford Afternoons’ and ‘Away and See’.

In this paper, I will explain how the article “The Lady and the Tramp (II): Feminist Welfare Politics, Poor Single Mothers, and the Challenge of Welfare Justice” by Gwendolyn Mink relates to the thematic focus of working women and the Marxist and socialist branch of feminism. In Feminist Thought: A More Comprehensive Introduction, Rosemarie Tong explains that Marxist and socialist feminists understand women’s oppression as a labor issue. Women’s work is not viewed as a productive contribution to society. One of the ways Marxist and socialist feminists sought to improve women’s oppression was through the wages-for-housework campaign of the 1970s, which fought for work done in the domestic sphere to be paid and respected by society. In this same vein, Mink’s article can be viewed as a continuation of sorts of the wages-for-housework campaign. Mink suggests that poor single mothers have the right for their work to be recognized by society and supported economically like the Marxist and socialist feminist in the 1970s.

Censorship is the practice of examining books and movies, and suppressing unacceptable parts. Books are usually banned with the good intentions of protecting others from difficult ideas and information. These banned books are protecting others, mostly children, from inappropriate content or vulgar language. The use of banning books is represented by Madeleine L’Engle’s novel, A Wrinkle in Time. Madeleine L’Engle is a prolific author who won the Newbery Medal for this novel.

Authors create stories that readers highlight to find the hidden message that is being told in the shadows. They could interpret that message into a lesson that teaches the reader about life, but not all lessons have a happy ending. Based on the Do Not Say We Have Nothing, Still Mine, Book of Negros, and The Skin We’re in, all these have a lesson that shows the ugly truth of reality. These texts give the reader a good understanding of inhuman behaviors under conditions of relationships, living situations, and social structures.

The novel “Behind a Mask” written by Louisa May Alcott is a tale about Jean Muir a woman who begins at the bottom of society with nothing but through sheer determination, cunning and manipulation manages to raise her social standing by pitting the family against one another.

When she first meets the Coventry family, Jean succeeds in charming Bella, Ned and Mrs. Coventry by having a fainting spell.

A Wrinkle In Time is a book that is thought to be written at around the dates 1959- 1960. However, publishers rejected the book, and the author, Madeleine L'engle, finally got it published by the publishing company “Farrar, Straus, & Giroux” in January 1, 1963. After it was done publishing, the book itself won many grand and prestigious awards, including the Newbery Medal, The Sequoyah Book Award, and the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award. It was also a runner up for the Hans Christian Andersen Award. L'engle said that she was inspired to write the book after hearing about Albert Einstein’s theories of space and time, while L'engle and her family were traveling through the landscapes of Upper New York.

A great grandmother in “The Three Century Woman” lies to get attention just like Laurie, in “Charles” Laurie also tries to get attention by misbehaving. Both characters are attention seeking by lying and getting away with it. And at the end of the story.

First, the title A Wrinkle In Time seems to describe some sort of irregularity of some sort in time, which seems confusing to me, and most likely everyone else. When I first read the title, it made me perplexed because I never heard about some sort of “wrinkle” in time, and the title made me want to figure out what this meant by reading the book. Since this title is most likely confusing to others, it will lead them to read the book, just like I did. I thought

Marilyn Dumont, a successful Metis poet, is widely recognized for her powerful yet subtle approach to enlightening the history of shadowed civilization, nearly brought to the brink of extinction by ethnocentrism and injustice. Being raised in a town surrounded by reserves, with a father who speaks fluent Cree, allowed me to form an appreciation for the perseverant culture, many fail to recognize. In “The land she came from,” Dumont utilizes main character Betsy Brass, known as “shiny black bird woman” to represent the fearlessness, and determinant Indigenous peoples had been dealing with such mass tragedy. Concrete walls made of starvation, and injustice placed by European settlers “when it all went wrong,” forced Indigenous people to surrender everything they had, as a reminder that, the only power Indigenous people held at the time, was that of their mind (Dumont 43). Author Marilyn Dumont employs the use of literary

The story of “Miss Brill,” by Katherine Mansfield, is about an old English teacher, who lives by herself and visits the park every Sunday. Miss Brill sits at the same spot every Sunday, quietly observing her surrounding and listing in on other people’s conversations. Through this observation, she pretends that she is a part of this extravagant play taking place in real life, but in reality, she is just sad and lonely and wants to be a part of something that she doesn’t have.
