Papers On Susan Sontag

Sonja Livingston is a talented and unique young writer who uses an unusual structure in her work. Structure is the form that an author’s writing takes; how the sentences are formed and how they are placed together to create the work. In Ghostbread, her award-winning novel, Ms. Livingstone uses a freeform chapter structure that, while roughly in chronological order, is not necessarily linear. In chapter 3, Ms. Livingston speaks of her father, “I had no father” (6), and then in chapter 4 she speaks of a childhood friend, “My favorite person should have been Carol Johnson.” (7) Through the course of the book, Ms. Livingston chronicles her life from birth to age 18, but it is not a strict telling; she meanders and explores events as they are remembered, not bound by a rigid timeline. The structure of her work is unconventional and through that unconventional structure she gives the reader an experience that is more like poetry than a conventional novel. Towards the end of Ghostbread, Ms. Livingston contemplates the effect that her miscarriage and the revelation of her sexual activity will have on her relationship with her mother with this passage, “Sex. Pregnancy. Men. What were they to her? Failure? Freedom? Power? Paths she followed, but did not prescribe. At least not aloud.” (212). The use of partial sentences and imagery are elements commonly associated with poetry and it gives

In "A Woman's Beauty: Put-down or Power Source," Susan Sontag portrays how a woman's beauty has been degraded while being called beautiful and how that conceives their true identity as it seems to portray innocence and honesty while hiding the ugliness of the truth. Over the years, women have being classified as the gentler sex and regarded as the fairer gender. Sontag uses narrative structure to express the conventional attitude, which defines beauty as a concept applied today only to women and their outward appearance. She accomplishes this by using the technique of contrast to distinguish the beauty between men and women and establishing a variation in her essay, by using effective language.

August 26, 1920. It was a momentous day. After 100 long years of fighting, women were finally given voting rights. Before that day, women, along with the help of some men, were on the enervating journey to win the right to vote. They made speeches, signed petitions and marched in parades expounding their thoughts on why women deserved all the same rights and responsibilities that were just handed to men on a silver platter.I, Susan B Anthony was a devoted activist of women’s rights.

Why is it important to express your thoughts by voting? That is a question that most adolescent and even adult Americans ask. There are many reasons to vote for one the most important roles and even the small things like who is going to be your mayor. Most Americans probably forgot what the learned back in the 7th and 8th grades in American history. So, let me give a refresher, many American men and women of all races and ethnicities fought for your right to vote. Some, even died in the process. One the most well known fighters for women’s right to vote was Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906). She thought, like any other woman, that everyone is created equal and the she and all other women should be able to vote. In conclusion to that, many fought

Edna St. Vincent Millay’s sonnet, “I, Being Born a Woman and Distressed,” serves as an excellent example of a multi-faceted piece. From one angle, it is simply a Petrarchan sonnet, written with a slight variation on rhyme scheme – but that variation, taken deeper, reveals new layers of meaning. Added to Millay’s choice of meter and end-stop, along with a background of Millay’s person, this sonnet seems not so “simple” after all.

This year my topic for this years theme is about Professor Sara Seager an astronomer and a planetary scientist. The reason I chose to do a report about Sara Seager is that because she wants to find Earth's twin or an Earth-like alien planet that could possibly host life. Seager did want to simply look for distant planets. Instead she set her sights on something more specific their atmosphere. She was the first person to do so.

Fanny Hensel formerly known as Fanny Mendelssohn before she was married was born November 14, 1805 in Hamburg, Germany as the eldest child in here family. She had three younger siblings: Rebecca, Paul, and most famously, Felix. The children were born into a well cultured family to Abraham Mendelssohn, a well to do banker, and his wife, Lea. Although her parents were Jewish, she and her siblings were not brought as Jewish and never practice Judaism. The children were brought up and baptized as Lutherans. Both Fanny and Felix learned piano from the best music teachers available although the teacher favored Fanny more, and apparently Fanny memorized Johann Sebastian Bach’s entire Well-Tempered Clavier at the age of 13. Felix admits that Fanny was better than him. He even relied on her advice for his works.

During the mid-century of American theatre, the curtain rose to reveal a new and different type of performance. Audience goers were used to the stylized works of Anton Chekov and George Bernard-Shaw, whose European classics were constantly being produced in the United States. Actors, scenery, and costumes were limited to the refined themes of classical acting. Theatre was growing bland with each revival. Nothing was being done to push the envelope, until American writers claimed the stage. Authors including Arthur Miller, Lillian Hellman and Lorraine Hansberry brought an element of reality to the theatre. Their works have gone down in history and their influences on

“The Way We Live Now” by Susan Sontag had a compelling writing style that gave off the impression that it was a gossip column. Sontag’s short story focuses on the conversations the unnamed central character’s friends have. This unnamed male has AIDS and his condition dictates these conversations. While getting treatment at a hospital, his friends visit and bring him gifts, such as flowers and chocolate. After a while, the doctor sends the unknown protagonist home; Quentin, one of his friends, moves into his house to take care of him until he can manage by himself. His friends engage in a conversation about his disease and his condition. Even though, the unnamed character started getting better, “The Way We Live Now” ends with him in the hospital

As stated by Judith Butler, the view of Susan Sontag, visible throughout her texts claiming that the photograph can’t reflect clarification by itself, would be senseless. She indicates that we require captions and written examination to support the diverse imagery in particular. According to her, the image can solely influence us, yet not grant us the comprehension of what we perceive. (Butler 2009: 63)
