How Did Hilda Doolittle As An Emagist Writer?

However, Doodle’s brother is also kind because he appreciated Doodle in his life and loved having him around. Doodle’s brother decided to teach Doodle how to walk because, at 5, Doodle could only crawl and this embarrassed his brother. As they progressed, Doodle accomplished standing and Doodle’s brother said, ”When he fell, I grabbed him in my arms and hugged him, our laughter pealing through the swamp like a ringing bell”(Hurst 558). Doodle’s brother wanted to be there for Doodle and would help him through the trials of his life. There is an abundant amount of meaning created here because it displays the bond between two people and the love they can share. A sense of joy is conceived and demonstrates how their relationship could have been in future years. Because Doodle’s brother wanted to become close with Doodle and bond with him like siblings in other families, he taught Doodle how to lie. Through his imagination, Doodle came up with a story about how he could marry his mom and how Doodle’s brother could marry his dad. Doodle’s brother explains, “Of course I was old enough to know this wouldn’t work out, but the picture he painted was so beautiful and serene, that all I could do was whisper Yes, yes”(Hurst 559). Doodle’s brother did love what Doodle could do and for what he brought into his life. As you can see,

Older siblings feel obligated to take authority over their younger siblings. The narrator took the responsibility of teaching Doodle to develop into an ordinary boy; however, he supports Doodle out of selfishness. With this in mind, the narrator changes Doodle’s name from “William Armstrong” to Doodle because he believes Doodle is not strong enough to have that name. He believes “William Armstrong” only “sounds good only on a tombstone,” (595) so changing Doodle’s name was the kindest thing he could have done. Likewise, the narrator selfishly disobeys the doctor’s list of don'ts for Doodle because he doesn’t agree with Doodle’s limitations. In fact, the narrator hauls Doodle carelessly around cotton fields and whips him around corners on two wheels of the go-cart. As a result, the narrator decides to take the next step in teaching Doodle. As school approaches, Doodle falls behind on learning to run, swim, and climb. Therefore, the narrator decides to double his efforts and push Doodle even harder. “I made him swim until he turned blue and row until he couldn’t lift an oar. Wherever we

Georgia O’Keeffe was born to the parents of Francis Calyxtus O’Keeffe and Ida (Totto) O’Keeffe on November 15, 1887 near Wisconsin. Georgia was the second oldest child and by the age of ten she knew she wanted to become an artist someday. Her first aspiration was doing abstracts. She was selective about what she painted, but often times she would paint to please others and not herself. Her paintings were thought of as sexual paintings because of the way they were drawn and painted in which she would say is one’s own opinion. Georgia O’Keeffe was best known for her flower canvas and southwestern landscapes. Her husband who is a famous photographer by the name of Alfred Stieglitz used to paint nice portraits of her. She was very fond of him, they both liked what each other did as far as how they were making ends meet, and he just didn’t want her to sell any of her paintings. He would often times tell people “No” so they wouldn’t buy any of her paintings because he wanted them all to himself. She had an interest in nature and used bright colors in her paintings.

Doodle’s family cared about him and wanted him to be the happiest and the best person that he could be. Even living with his condition, preventing him from living a “normal” life. When Doodle’s family discovered that he had learned to walk they were overwhelmed

There are multiple characters in this story. The narrator, whose name is never mentioned in the story, has Doodles best intentions in mind but allows his pride to mislead him. Doodle, whose real name is William Armstrong, is the narrator's younger brother who is different. Mama and Papa are the parents' who care and take special precautions for Doodle. Aunt Nicey is the only one who thinks Doodle is special because his different and believes that he deserves respect because he could be a “Saint”.

Doodle’s family alienated him from the start and that is his most profound fear. Doodle’s brother the narrator at first found great difficulty in bonding with Doodle. The narrator only wanted a normal brother that could do all the activities that he enjoyed doing. The narrator ashamed of having a brother who was not all there began training Doodle. The narrator would take Doodle everyday to Old Woman Swamp where he would train Doodle to walk and eventually run (Hurst 16). At the start the narrator blackmailed Doodle with the threat of leaving him if Doodle could not complete the tasks at hand. The fear of Isolation in Doodle swayed the choices he made. As Makenna Berry states “Existentialism is not just about being alone, it includes the concept that we do not want to be alone”(Berry 25). Berry also continues to discuss how we as humans seek others as outlets. We need communities because they help ease the anxiety associated with life and meaningless (Berry 26). Doodle in his path of life seeks the love and affection of others because he too struggles with the feeling

In Joyce Carol Oates’ Where are you going, where have you been, family influence is shown to be a key factor in the molding of a child’s character, who they are. Connie, the protagonist of Oates’ short story, missed out on this key due to lack in positive family influence. Connie, insecure and vulnerable, was led straight into the arms of Arnold, because her family belittled her, caused her dual personality and omitted proper guidance. First of all, Connie’s parents played no role in improving her self-image.

“When Doodle was five years old, I was embarrassed at having a brother of that age who couldn’t walk, so I set out to teach him.” Even though Doodle was forced to conform, it made him feel accepted by his family and helped him live out the rest of his life. The case could be made that his conformity killed him because he died from over-exertion but in reality the narrator left him behind for his own gain. If Doodle had lived out his life, he would have been regarded as someone normal as opposed to someone who has a debilitating

There were many women there with their children trying to get some kind of assistance. I felt like you had to be qualified to get any kind of assistance if you were worthy, or if you were able-bodied that they can’t help you as much. What Jane Addams created was settlement house movement as a resource for preparing immigrants to live in a new society. I understand it was white immigrants she was helping out but sitting there remind me of that. The Ramsey County was the settlement house where immigrants come to get their resources and benefit from. People sitting down or standing in line with so many different kind of paper work in their hand to prove that they need help by the government or had to prove to them that either as “normal”, “worthy”,

Mary Downing Hahn was born in College Park, Maryland on December 9,1937. When she was a little kid both of her parents were working. She was left to stay with her grandmother, who lived with them, at home while her parents worked. This wasn’t a great situation like it would be for other family’s because Mary’s grandmother had a mental illness. Mary never liked her grandma because the illness caused her to be mean to Mary. When Mary got a little older she went outside to play more to try to get away from her grandma. The neighborhood she grew up in was full of kids her age, so she had plenty of people to play with. While Mary was young she hated writing, but yet loved telling stories by drawing pictures.

The Romantic Movement, or period, was from the year 1828 to about 1865. The main feature of the American Romantic period was the celebration and praise of individualism. This time is also considered to be the first period of genuine American creativity. Emotion, instead of reason, became the largest source of inspiration and creativity during this period.

Helen of Troy, also known as the face that launched a thousand ships, is a Greek character known for being the most beautiful woman in the Greek mythological world. Her beauty was a cause worth fighting for, and in some cases, losing lives for. Yet, there is more to Helen than meets the eye. Two authors, Edgar Allan Poe and Hilda Doolittle, describe Helen in two completely distinct ways in their poems. Poe describes Helen as a goddess, while Doolittle describes Helen as physically and internally hideous. According to Poe, Helen’s beauty causes not only all of Greece, but all of Rome as well, to worship her like the goddess she resembles. Doolittle, however, narrates Helen as the person that Greece hates for all the suffering and loss that she made them go through. Poe presents Helen as someone who makes a whole country and another city feel like they are in heaven, while Doolittle presents Helen as the person responsible for leaving all of Greece in a state of despair, and essentially, living in hell. Poe uses his poem to describe Helen as someone who left people with their jaw open in admiration while Doolittle uses her poem to describe Helen as someone who has left the society that fought for her in a state of distress.

In her teenage years in the 1950’s, her mother and father never emphasized the importance of her schoolwork.
