Lady Or The Tiger, By Frank R. Stockton

“But, I 'm already resigned to this fate / Looking over my life, I recall / If it hadn 't been / for the loneliness / I 'd have no companion at all. ” This stanza from “Loneliness”, by Lora Colon evokes the negative impact a lonely fate has on a person. Words like “resigned” and “loneliness” establish a sense of depression and resignation. During the times of the Great Depression, many people felt similar feelings of melancholy and stoicism. Jobs were hard to come by, and realistic dreams of success were scarce. John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, allows readers to see the life of the Great Depression. The two main characters, George and Lennie, search for jobs, like many other migrant workers. They dream of owning their own land, however, Lennie’s habit of getting in trouble prevents their dream from being reality. After he accidentally causes more trouble at their new job, George is forced to kill him out of mercy. Throughout the novel, Steinbeck shows that even if one meticulously plans out the road to their American Dream, fate will inevitably intervene and lead one to desolation and loneliness.

In my ISU Media Display, I used a variety of symbols and images to highlight important elements from The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg. Through visual representation of characters, incorporation of key symbols and the use meaningful images I was able to create a project that highlights the crucial element of the novel.

Therefore, I depicted her as a paintbrush to re-emphasize her passions towards artistry. However, I did not represent Martha as an object, I illustrated her as a senior woman with a walker.

Americans live in a society that is undoubtedly dominated by men. In order to fit into that society, women are subjected to cooperating and giving into the standards and ideologies set forth by men (Foss, 2004).
