Scholar Critic

Julia Mitri English 31 Novick 18 September 2011 Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “The American Scholar” Post- Reading Response In Ralph Waldo Emerson’s 1837 address to the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Harvard, called “The American Scholar”, he makes clear his thoughts and ideas on the European cultural and cerebral influence on America. Emerson wanted to get across that American scholars needed to create their own independent American literature and academic world, separate from European history. Emerson…

In the past the education has been dominated by the male, but as of late the female has become the new face of the scholar. In the feminist push for gender equality the male has been left to fend for himself in the public school environment. There is evidence saying that women are reading more than men, the first part of the problem. Another underlying cause is that the public school system is not geared to promote male interest in reading or education. Also with the spotlight being shined on female…

Critic’s Opinion of A Doll’s House In Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House many views could be seen from both sides of the gender world. Critics will argue about the true meaning of the story and why Ibsen wrote the story. The main points of the play that critics discuss are sexuality i.e. feminism, the wrong doing of the father figure, and spiritual revolution. I believe these critics are each right in their own way from my understanding of the play and their ideas about the play. Sexuality or, in the case…

Bukowski’s anti-American opinions is made by his emphasis on the values of freedom and independence in his poems: yellow cab, I have shit stains in my underwear too, and quiet clean girls in gingham dresses. These poems reinforce Bukowski as a cynical critic of the bourgeois society, often targeting women; it would be foolish to blind ones opinion on whether he was anti-American or not, as such generalizations rarely fit an individual perfectly. Why Charles Bukowski criticizes and mocks conformed societies…

different philosopher’s perspective. This class has allowed me to flourish into somewhat of a ‘philosophy scholar,’ because I am now able to take my knowledge of different philosophers theories on morality and implement them into my everyday life by questioning my morals and the morals of others. I hope that you will enjoy this class as much as I did and are excited to become a philosophy scholar too! Sincerely, Samantha Cohen…

legal approaches. Focus by scholars shifted from a moral view towards the multitude ills that arise from the sex trade including infections and drug trafficking and towards issues of power and gender especially when viewed from a feminist perspective. Scholars views of prostitution and its causes Issues of prostitution have received a considerable amount of attention but there is little or no focus on those that are surrounding the patronage of prostitution. Scholars have studied various aspects…

Beowulf Movie Critic Do you envision a strong female role or a male role as your hero? In my opinion the Beowulf movie was a thumbs up, due to Angelina Jolie’s use of seduction and female wiles. Angelina is a critical character who drives the plot. In the movie, her character of Grendel’s mother overshadows Beowulf‘s character as a hero. This is in drastic contrast to the original poem ‘Beowulf’ because in the original, women were not valued and they had no important role. Grendel’s mother differs…

Most of the organization's critics argued that the largest food company worldwide paid its workers low wages and hired part-time employees who were mainly teenagers in order to avoid paying overtime…

his essay “The Formalist Critics” from 1951 about criticism that formalist critics encounter and tries to show these arguments from his point of view and even indicates common ground with other literary critics. Cleanth Brooks argues that we lose the intrinsically obvious points of works of literature if we view the work through the different lenses of literary theory, however we are always viewing the literary work through a subjective lens, since the author and the critic cannot subjectively separate…
