In the memoir “Do I Know You” by Bette Ann Maskowitz, creates an unforgettable portrait of an ordinary woman at the end of her life. A touching account of the author`s and her sister`s attempt to aid and assist their mother as she grows older and must cope with her declining health.

Milton’s Paradise Lost has been praised as being the greatest English epic of all time, most stunningly in its author's depiction of the parents of humanity, Adam and Eve. How Milton chose to portray the original mother and father has been a focus of much criticism with contemporary readers. One of the main subjects of these comments is in reference to Eve, who, according to many, is a trivial character that is most definitely inferior to her mate. Nonetheless, many do not recognize that, after the fateful Fall, she becomes a much more evolved character. When Eve is introduced to the storyline of the epic, her character is shallow and extremely undeveloped, meant simply for display. She is quite firmly set as being inferior to her mate

Everyone has a favorite animal. Some admire lions and tigers because they exude dominance and power. Others prefer dogs and cats because they make great companions. Although there are thousands of animals to extol, most would not even think about weasels. These creatures are small, overlooked, and have a negative connotation. Calling someone a weasel is an insult: it means they are untrustworthy. However, in the essay, “Living Like Weasels,” Annie Dillard writes about how an encounter with a weasel changed her life. Dillard uses parallelism and unique rhetorical strategies to show how people should find inspiration to live life in a more fulfilling manner.

From the story, “Flowers for Algernon” Fanny Girden said, ‘’’It was evil when Eve listened to the snake and ate from the tree of knowledge. It was evil when she saw that she was naked. If not for that none of us would grow old and die ‘’’(329).

“Women cannot be murderers.” Even though this was not explicitly stated in the newspapers, The Boston Herald in its article “Lizzie Borden” conveys the perception that the feminine ways associated with women would make it impractical for women to commit murder. Lizzie Borden, a young lady accused of brutally killing her stepmother and father with multiple blows to their heads with a hatchet was described as a religious, sincere, and modest human being in The Boston Herald’s article covering Lizzie’s life before and after the murders. During Lizzie’s youth, she suffered from isolation because of her reserved personality and belief that nobody appreciated her presence, but in womanhood turned her life around and attain friendships who vouched for her good character during the time of the investigation. The Boston Herald’s article “Lizzie Borden: Her School and Later Life - A Noble Woman, Though Retiring”, successfully persuades the reader of Lizzie Borden’s innocence with the focus on her femininity through diction and logic.

and as man’s other. This is how Eve was seen as the fall of man. “Yet looking upon her as

Mary Read was a historically famous female pirate, because she lived in a really rough time period where women could not do a lot of things. Mary Read had to pretend to be a boy almost all her life, because her 1/2 brother Mark died a few days after Mary was born, and to keep the death a secret from her grandmother who supported Mary and her mother because she thought Mark was still alive, that is why she had to pretend to be a boy. Like a usual boy Mary had to go out and get a job to help support the family. Once she could she was recruited to join the army because all her life people thought she was a boy. She then met her future husband and showed him her true gender. They got married, and left the army. Her husband died a few months into

Eve has been a powerful female figure throughout history and provoked so many female authors because she is depicted as the first woman, made from the rib of the first man, Adam. Since Eve was the first, and mother to all women, she was preserved to have passed on an evil nature to all women after tasting the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge and asking Adam to as well. Women have invested their time in Eve’s defense by arguing that it was not the fault of Eve alone, and that if Adam was supposed the be a symbol of strength, and wisdom, then he should been able to see through Eve’s fruit and the trickery of the serpent. The story bible has been used as a symbol of oppression for women by the word of God being law in the Christian

When the Civil War came to a close one hundred fifty years ago, the Union forces ended up victorious. The future seemed bright for the newly emancipated Blacks of the South; no longer bound in servitude, freed slaves must have felt indescribable joy. Sadly, what seemed like a dream come true quickly became a hellish nightmare. White Southerners were beside themselves with rage against Americans they considered property who were now their equals, at least in the eyes of the law. This fury fueled brutal and malicious racial violence in both the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Lynching, intimidation, destruction of property, and other acts of terrorism were quite prevalent throughout Texas. Yet, despite the multitude of physical and political

They talk about how women get whatever they want once they’ve got their mind made up and how men are smarter than women. Suddenly Mollie tells the men it’s time to wake up. She explains that women are pretty much the same as they are. Men and women are both people. Another thing Mollie said that is the most important quote of the story is, “As for Mother Eve-I wasn’t there and can’t deny the story, but I will say this. If she brought evil into the world, we men have had the lion’s share of keeping it going ever since-how about that?” (Gilman 55). Gilman shows men blame women for the way the world is, but it is both men and women who should equally be blamed for what goes on in the world.

Annie Dillard decided to name her essay Living Like Weasels in order to express her respect of the weasels’ way of life and how someday she hopes to emulate it. Annie first expresses her respect for the weasel when she recalls the story of the eagle and the weasel’s skull, this example showed how obedient a weasel is and how it sticks to its instincts. Next Annie shows her desire to live like a weasel when she compliments them repeatedly on their simple way of life. And lastly and perhaps the most striking way Annie shows us that she wants to live like a weasel is when she actually imagines her self grabbing a weasel and being brought down underground to live with them. While the tile of the essay might first be quite shocking, after reading

The one song men can't resist. In the three text “The Odyssey”, “O!Brother Where Art Thou”,and “Siren Song” the authors use the idea of the men being lured in by the song to make their text. These three text have ideas that are emphasized, absent and different.

Dr. Jekyll and Courtney Davidson would have agreed with a quote from the character from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, said by Sirius Black , “We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is what we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.” They both agreed on the fact that there is good and evil in all of us, but it’s whether we choose to act on the good or the evil.

Miles Davis’ solo is very minimalistic mainly using crotchet and quaver rhythms throughout with the occasional triplet or semiquaver grace note. For the A sections of the first chorus he bases phrases around the minor pentatonic scale. He develops his opening motif (bar 2 of A1) in bar 4-7 returning to the root (E) in between each ascending then descending phrase going up to the 7th (D) in the final variation of the motif. The phrase lengths are irregular; Davis generally uses shorter phrases in the E minor Sections taking a vertical approach to the improvisation then uses longer phrases in the contrasting F minor section where he takes a more horizontal approach. In A1 of the second chorus Davis’

Now I will talk about how milton portrayed eve in his writing. Milton sees Eve as Narcissus. For many hundreds of years, the female has been seen as the weaker sex the gentle sex, the docile sex, even the less intelligent sex. And this is because, for many hundreds of years, the societies that humanity lived in were based mainly on survival. Necessity of women remained in the home in order to further the mere survival of the species, while men were in charge of providing for this family unit. Through this situation, men developed an egocentric view of life, seeing themselves as the centers of their own microcosms. Humans always look for someone else on whom to place the blame any man would be pleased if he were able to place all of the evil of humanity on to a poor decision made by a woman. This view of Eve makes her a flat and undeveloped character. She is vain, falls in love with herself at first sight in the glimmering pool, and can barely stand to tear herself away from the water to be with Adam. As usual, this episode of her self-absorbed conceit only contributes to the already growing compassion for Adam,
