“I have found it to be seductively complicated, a distillation both of what is finest in our nature, and of what is most dangerous” (Jamison, 1995, p.5). In “An Unquiet Mind”, Kay Redfield Jameson takes the readers through her experience dealing with manic-depression. Kay was happy and well rounded during her childhood. She developed interest for poetry, school plays, science, and medicine, and was strongly encouraged by her parents. She was surrounded with good friends, a close-knit family, and

The lives of Spartan women were unusual in the sense that they were very different from those of other Greek women. In Athens, for instance, women were confined to the domicile and wore clothing that covered and hid their form. In Sparta, this was not the case at all. Sparta enjoyed communal ownership of property and all things, in essence, belonged to the State—men, women, children and goods. Thus, all were equal (or nearly so) before the State’s needs and women had more freedom to move about

participating in centuries-old religious traditions such as *Buddhism or *Christianity, that the problem arose. The terms ‘great’ and ‘little’ traditions were actually introduced and elaborated in the 1950s by the University of Chicago anthropologist †Robert Redfield.

differences of the two main characters. While the protagonists are exceptionally disparate from one another, they are both invisible in their own unique ways. What is invisibility? Is it something physical, mental, or both? Within Larsen’s novel, Irene Redfield, one of the protagonists, is successfully able to “pass” as Caucasian, regardless of her black ethnicity.

or socially designated black into a white racial category or white social identity” (viii). In the novel Passing by Nella Larsen, readers can see passing not only as a racial activity but also as one related to sexuality. The main character Irene Redfield is passing as straight woman that ends up killing Clare Kendry, the woman she seems to be in love with. On the surface, Irene’s motivation to kill Clare is the possible affair between Clare and Bryan but in fact it is more than that. Irene’s unconscious

Candide, with his innocent optimism, taught the reader that there isn’t always a silver lining; Irene Redfield proved that one’s judgement and actions don’t always go hand-in-hand; Bob Hicok illustrated that, despite all of one’s observations, hope can still be found. These lessons were brought to us, for the most part, through observations which these narrators had seen and experienced. The lessons found in these texts also show the hypocrisy which these characters have, despite their observations

Women of the Harlem Renaissance Novels: The Stark Differences Between The Women of Passing and Home to Harlem In the novels Home to Harlem and Passing, the representation of women characters is very different. In terms of personality, social class, and relationships with other characters, the women characters in both novels are distinctive from each other in many ways. The middle-class women of Passing provides insight to the drama of “passing” as white, while the women of Home to Harlem provides

For an organization whose motto is “speed saves lives,” it makes sense that there are a vast array of costs that come with the unique efficiency of MSF. After reading the section of Peter Redfield’s Life in Crisis entitled “Vital Mobility”, I was amazed by what MSF has been able to accomplish. All semester long I have learned of the intricacies of humanitarianism, how nothing is as simple as it seems. Often, I wonder why can’t it be simpler? Why do we let politics get in the way of good? Is there

I do not wish to address the pain of living with and among human beings. Instead, I 'd like to respond to Nietzsche by posing a couple of questions that I find far more interesting: do we develop an archival memory of theory and the arts because of the pain they inflict on us? What relation does this have to the development of our being? In order to answer such a question, one would need to modify a couple of understandings: curiosity is now the act of making oneself open to the possibility of pain;
