1 In Gertrude Atherton’s Black Oxen, a man named Clavering falls in love with a woman who is not what she appears to be. When Clavering first sees Madame Zattiany, he views her as an object. He refers to her as “it” rather than “she” when he describes her at the beginning of the book. He states that, “in spite of its smooth white skin and rounded contours above an undamaged throat, it was, subtly, not a young face” (Atherton, page 45). Atherton is using Clavering as a vehicle to argue that men tend

I have recently read four paragraphs of your novel, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and I must say it is a very comical narrative indeed. One aspect I noticed while reading, is the plot setting. You structured it in a way that it informed the reader about the protagonist’s background, while providing definite interpretive clues about the character’s thought process. For instance, the protagonist, Lorelei Lee, recalls a time when an observant friend commented that if she were to write down her thoughts

When it was written in 1925, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, by Anita Loos was heralded as a tremendous novel. It was seen as cutting edge and insightful, yet somewhat risqué in its portrayal of Lorelei Lee and her escapades. I can see how this may have been thought at that time, seeing as how women were looked at in such a different way then they are currently. The fact that a women with as little know-how as Lorelei can manipulate men the way that she does, leaves no question as to who is the superior

Room 101 Racism I can positively say, without a doubt in mind, that racism should be put in room 101 and I'm sure no one could disagree with me. We, as a society, can help this and you can join me fight this because Racism can be ruthless, cruel and dangerous. Is there anything more hurtful than someone kicking you out of a restaurant because of your skin colour? How wrong is this? Racism can lead to depression therefore; sensitive people can even commit suicide, would you want this? Furthermore

Violence in media today is almost as common as a teenage girl knowing the name of the actor Channing Tatum. In America, we practically grow up on movies that display countless acts of violence against one another. This is a major way in which human society as a whole has changed from growing up in an environment with a lot of real life violence sporadically around the world, to having some sort of physical conflict involved in every movie or TV show. In the past there have been several cases where

William Shakespeare is perhaps one of the most famous writers of English literature. His writings and plays have touched the lives of many people. At some point in our lives, whether we are aware of it or not, we have all come across a poem, play or perhaps even an old adage that was written by William Shakespeare that has captured our attention. I still remember the very first time I read Romeo and Juliet in high school. The story was one of the most memorable pieces of literature that I recall

Why should people take action? In the play “Antigone” by Sophocles Antigone takes action by burying her brother which no one was supposed to do. She did it because she felt it was only right. People should take action whenever they feel ,there are various reasons such as their feelings emotionally , fairness, the good well being of others, or just whenever they deem morally correct. There are many reasons why people should take action, for example, for fairness. Why fairness, well because fairness

“The great hope of society is in individual character” - William Ellery Channing. Within the literary pieces The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells and “Those Who Walk Away From Omelas” by Ursula Le Guin, the depiction of various motivations amongst a jovial society is created to cause a better understanding of the individual. By using psychoanalytical criticism, it allows the reader to gather insight about the main character in order to connect with them as well as understand the author’s intentions. For

A nation founded in a land unknown, a nation that united in a world marked by the dissonant notes of rebellion, a nation of people unified by vision not lineage for the first time. This is the nation that became the most powerful nation in the world. This is the United States. This nation that flourished when the scales tilted so out of its favor can be explained only in the eloquent words of President Calvin Coolidge, “the human mind has the power to know truth.” The founders of our nation worked
