The Voyage Out

Bibliography Guiguet, Jean. Virginia Woolf and Her Works. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1976. Thoroughly examining a handful of Woolf’s critics and works, Guiguet offers extensive character and whole novel analysis proposing her view of the works. Guiguet harmonizes her analysis with her predecessors by building off their work and recognizing their skill and limitations in reviewing Woolf’s work boosting her credibility and strengthening her viewpoint. This presents a unique perspective and allows

In “The Voyage Out” by Morley Callaghan, he is making a critique of the way men use the male gaze, and how it makes women feel.

explorers such as Christopher Columbus, but there are many lesser known voyages from history, including the voyages of Chinese Muslim diplomat Zheng He.  After driving out the Mongol leaders who controlled China, the Chinese fell under the power of the Ming Dynasty in 1368.  In 1405, Yongle, the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, appointed Zheng He to lead the first of seven voyages of exploration of the outside world.  These voyages ranged from Southeast Asia to Africa’s East coast, with the purpose

The voyages of Zheng He are vastly understated, the difficult trials and tributes making for a grand exploration little known today. Zheng He was a Eunuch, or a castrated man employed by the government, born as Ma He. He was enslaved at the age of ten in the Ming Dynasty. He rose through the ranks quickly, and Emperor Yongle decided to recognize him. He received a new noble name, Zheng He, and was sent on the first of seven voyages in 1405. Zheng He’s voyages should be celebrated due to all that

Why we don’t Celebrate the Voyages of Zheng He. Did you know that in 1381 of Ma He’s childhood, Ma He (Zheng He) was the only Mongol to be held in China before he was taken prisoner to the Ming Dynasty? This meant that he had to join the armies by thousands of eunuchs who were held in part by the government. Ma He as a young man gained high in rank with the trust of Emperor Yongle. Thus, Emperor Yongle gave him power, wealth, loyalty, with the noble name of “Zheng He.” One day the emperor told him

Angels In America Essay Rabbi Chemelwitz says in his eulogy (Millennium) that the "Great Voyages" of the past no longer exist. Does the play bear out the truth of his belief or not? If not, what are the new great voyages? Tony Kushner’s play, Angels In America, explores the trials of the journey of human life through the development of his characters throughout the play. When Rabbi Chemelwitz says “Great Voyages is this world do not any more exist.” (Millennium 16) he speaks only the partial truth

very different ocean voyages, and both of these men led their respective crew members towards death with the hopes of conquering or exploring new lands. Zheng He, a worker for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty of China, commanded a giant fleet including 27,000 Chinese soldiers and “sailed as far as the Arabian peninsula and the eastern coast of Africa” in seven different voyages, starting in 1405 (Dreyer 1). Charles Wyville Thomson, a scientist from Britain, commanded a voyage aboard the HMS Challenger

successful voyages throughout the world that had great effect to his country. He was the first man to find the direct seaway toward India and also has done several voyages to help his country out. He had said, “I am not afraid of the darkness. Real death is preferable to a life without living” which showed his braveness and fearless about going out for voyages. I believe that Vasco Da Gama was a successful leader as a voyager and an explorer who had amount of responsibility to his voyage and patriotism

the Spanish and Portuguese explorers faced during the various expeditions that set sail on. Many misfortunes that happened on the voyages included bad weather, scarce food, individual faults, as well as attacks and invasions. One of the major misfortunes that Harry Kelsey describes is the difficulty of the changing weather. For example, Magellan accounts on his voyage that, “On 6 April 1522, the Trinidad, after undergoing extensive repairs and with fifty-four men aboard, left Tidore and

Zheng He was a Chinese General who sailed the western seas from China to the east coast of Africa along with other points in the Indian Ocean. Zheng He sailed his voyages 60 years before Christopher Columbus did. The number of ships and the size of his treasure ships were astonishing and unlike anything of its time. Zheng He was credited for sailing over 100,000 miles, greater than any other distance sailed around his time, yet he was almost unknown to the world until recent years. Some think what
