...Anna Kingsley: A Remarkable Story Kimberley DeBessonet ENC 1102 Prof. Sandra McDonald Everest University October 4, 2011 Anna Kingsley, was born Anta Majigeen Ndiaye in Senegal, West Africa in 1793. She helped establish some of the communities in modern day Jacksonville and Orange Park, Florida. Daniel L. Schafer, Professor of History at the University of North Florida, spent nearly twenty-five years researching about her life. Early accounts of her life are based on history memorized by a griot, the oral historian of the village, who passes down the historical accounts through generations. “Mamadou Diouf, a Senegal Historian, speculated that at some point Anta Majigeen Ndiaye may have been recognized as a child of royalty and received special treatment at the time she was sold” (Schafer, 2003, p.18). However, early aspects of her life lack written evidence and the accounts of her being a “royal princess” are just legends. Anna Kingsley overcame the adversity of slavery because, she gained her freedom, she became the respected wife of a plantation owner and she was a successful business woman. By all accounts about that era, her story as an African slave to matriarch of the Kingsley family is a remarkable story. In April 1806 Anta, her mother and the others from her Wolof family village were captured, rounded up and herded to the coast for sale into slavery. She survived the transatlantic crossing, called the “Middle Passage” to Cuba and then was later purchased...

...Running Head: ANNA FREUD Anna Freud Anna Freud Selecting a woman that made significant contributions to the field of psychology between the years 1850 and 1950 is not an easy task as there is more than one woman who made significant contributions to the field of Psychology. Out of those talented women Anna Freud, overshadows her colleagues. Anna can be considered to have a fascinating background, which influenced her later development of unique theoretical perspectives. Her father, Sigmund Freud famous for his multiple theories about the mind he is regarded as the founder of psychology probably influenced her following his footsteps and being interested in psychoanalysis, in particular, in child psychoanalysis. However, her recognition as the founder of child psychoanalysis was not just given to her for being her father's daughter. Anna Freud earned it by contributing to the field of Psychology with the many roles she played in her career as teacher, theorist, healer, leader, idealist and writer (Coles, 1992). Anna's contributions to psychology not only help to contribute to the development of psychology but helped improve many lives. Anna Freud was born in Vienna December 3, 1895 her parents Sigmund and Martha Freud. Her father considered her a blessing; conversely, she did not develop a close relationship with her mother it appears that she considered her nanny a genuine figure in her childhood.

...Anna Freud Kim Debyah PSY100 08/27/13 Anna Freud, the founder of child psychoanalysis, was most noted for her work with children and the concept of children undergoing analysis began her career under her father’s wing. She grew up in the household of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychology. Under his wing she grew a deep attachment and love for him and the field of psychoanalysis. Most of her life was dedicated to her father and his work, where he left off she picked up and made it her own and child analysis her specialty. Anna never married nor had children. She was her father’s constant companion, his colleague, and his nurse during the final years of his life. After her father’s death her career flourished. She published several books and journals of her own and continued some of her father’s work. She more or less followed her father’s strict rules as she was taught but expanding where he didn’t have the opportunity. Anna, the youngest of Sigmund Freud’s six children and the only one who became a psychoanalyst, was born in Vienna December 3, 1895. Freud’s mother was more attached to the other children which left Anna with her father most of the time. Even right after her birth her mother went on vacation for several months leaving not only Anna in the sole care of the nanny Josefine Chihlarz but the two other young siblings. Anna was extremely attached to Josefine and was quoted saying she was ‘the most genuine of my childhood” (Freud, 1991)...

...Anna Karenina Anna Karenina is a novel by the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. It was born in the society where capitalism was developing and shifted from the old society to the new one in the late-19th-century feudal Russia, but the society wasn’t out of the shackles of feudalistic ideas. It describes the tragic story that the noble married woman called Anna fell in love with a young man, who is also an aristocrat in the aristocracy, and finally they break up and Anna kills herself. Tolstoy's style in Anna Karenina is considered by many critics to be transitional, forming a bridge between the realist and modernist novel. Anna married socialite and but she has affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story opens when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though she would experience less tolerance by others. Vronsky is eager to marry her if she will agree to leave her husband Karenin, a senior government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, the moral laws of the Russian Orthodox Church, her own insecurities, and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky and Anna go to Italy, where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances, she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity...

...problems. This is what happens to the heroine of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina when she leaves one relationship for another, more destructive one. In the novel Anna Karenina, Tolstoy creates a character whose lack of communication destroys both of her romantic relationships and eventually herself. The reader is first introduced to Anna while she is visiting her brother’s family in Moscow. Here, she is described by nearly everyone she meets as charming and animated, and she seems to feel a fire within her. Upon returning home in Petersburg, the fire has gone out and it is clear to readers that Anna is bored, stuck in the routine of her love life while she thinks of Vronsky, a man she met in Moscow. “Not only was the animation that had simply been gushing out of her eyes and her smile in Moscow no longer there: on the contrary, the fire in her now seemed quenched or hidden somewhere deep inside her” (Tolstoy 134). This line provides foreshadowing for the steps Anna will take in trying to find the same fire and happiness she felt while in Moscow, instead of reaching out to her husband for help. Soon, Anna finds herself in an affair with Vronsky, sneaking to parties to meet up with him. While her husband, Karenin, senses her infidelity, he buries himself in his work and ignores the feeling. While both of them are unhappy, neither says anything to address the problem which drives them further apart. Soon after, Anna and Karenin attend a horserace in which Vronsky is racing. It is...

...] [he] repented only that he had not managed to conceal things better from her. [...] Perhaps he would have managed to hide his sins better from his wife had he anticipated that the news would have such an effect on her. [...] It even seemed to him that she, a worn-out, aged, no longer beautiful woman, not remarkable for anything, simple, merely a kind mother of a family, ought in all fairness to be indulgent” (3). Overall, Stiva is only sorry he got caught, since he’s still handsome and claims that he lost interest in his wife, who aged upon the bearing of multiple children. Furthermore, Stiva feels that he has the right to an affair and is surprised that Dolly’s upset about it. Example: Vronsky is being teased by Princess Betsy about Anna. When Vronsky talks to Princess Betsy at the Opera House about being afraid of becoming ridiculous, “He knew very well that in the eyes of Betsy and all society people he ran no risk of being ridiculous. He knew very well that for those people the role of the unhappy lover of a young girl, or of a free woman generally, might be ridiculous; but the role of a man who attached himself to a married woman and devoted his life to involving her in adultery at all cost, had something beautiful and grand about it and could never be ridiculous” (128). Society acknowledges Example: Oblonsky visits Levin and they have dinner after doing some shooting. By the end of dinner, it is evident that Oblonsky has been participating in sexual activities with...

Anna Karenina: Tolstoy's Polemic with Madame Bovary PRISCILLA MEYER D id Tolstoy intend a dialogue with Flaubert's Madame Bovary when he wrote Anna Karenina? Boris Eikhenbaum agrees with the French critics who found traces of Tolstoy's study of French literature in Anna Karenina, though he emphasizes the complexity of Tolstoy's struggle with the tradition of the "love" novel.' George Steiner long ago concluded that "all that can be said is that Anna Karenina was written in some awareness of its predecessor."2 But the evidence of that awareness is so abundant and suggestive that it is worth examining the possibility of a more detailed dialectic than Eikhenbaum and Steiner suppose.3 Tolstoy arrived in Paris on 21 February 1857. Less than...

...Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary are two novels written in two different languages, around the same time period (late 1800s). Though they belong to two separate countries and are separated in history by a margin of about twenty five years, their socio political setting, and situational complexities are quite similar. ‘Madam Bovary’ takes us on a journey through the life of the extremely complex character of Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Raised in a convent, a lover of sensuality, desirous of an expensive urban lifestyle yet not very smart about money, it is this dichotomy of traits that keeps Emma careening from one radically different situation to the next: first falling hard for her father's roving rural doctor Charles Bovary, thinking that their marriage will finally bring her the sophisticated Paris life full of passion and grandeur she's always dreamed of; but instead getting stuck in a provincial town where nothing ever happens and trying and failing at a domestic life. This leads to a hot-and-cold emotional affair with a young law student named Leon, followed by a much more serious affair with a major womanizer named Rodolphe. An unceremonial dumping by Rodolphe after she offers to leave her husband for him and bring her daughter along leads to a short period again in her life as a pious born-again Christian. A reacquaintance with Leon, the now successful young urban...

...Sharetta Moore English 101 Professor Covington 24 March 2014 Explication of “You Thought I was That Type” by Anna Akhmatova In the literary poem, “You Thought I was That Type” by Anna Akhmatova, she showed no feeling of sorrow and compassion caused by the suffering and misfortunes of others. There was a stunning woman that didn’t have any kindness or forgiveness that was shown especially to somebody a person had power over; but knowing how to survive in the real world and being an individual that had the necessary emotional qualities to deal with stress, grief, loss, risk, and other difficulties. The reader is able to see that something throughout the marriage wasn’t good by interpreting line 12 "And by the fire and smoke of our nights", which shows they didn’t have peaceful nights. In line one “You thought I was that type”, the speaker is saying that someone took the wrong perception of her character by basing it off of things that wasn’t true ending up taking her for someone she really wasn’t. In line two “that you could forget me”, the speaker is saying that they couldn’t ever forget her since they made up their own view of what role she played in their life. In line three “and that I’d plead and weep and throw myself”, the speaker is saying that she tried to do everything she could think of to make herself be the one for this person but nothing would work so in result she was in sorrow. In line four, “under the hooves of a bay mare”, the speaker is saying that...

...Anna’s Serious!!!!! One morning day, Anna woke up in her biggest and a most wonderful room that a girl can ever have. It was a bright shiny morning and Anna couldn’t wait for her next trip to the library where she can pick hundreds of books to take home with her. That was her favourite hobby, reading books. Not only she liked reading books, but she was one of those people who like to study for tests and go to the library during lunch periods and study all day. Her only disadvantage was that no one wanted to become friends with her because everybody realized that she was a school freak and a “teacher’s pet” so students called. Some people like her because she was the richest person in the whole town!! Anna didn’t approve to that one bit. Her only friend in the world was Sophie McDonald. She was born as a foster child and was delighted to become friends with a rich and the smartest student in the school. They’ve been friends ever since. Ever since that day Anna met her new friend, she would wake up every morning at 9:00; she would meet Sophie at the library and read. “Darling! “ “Your breakfast is ready!” her mother shouted. “I’m coming!!” Anna shouted. Anna rushed to put her clothes on and ran downstairs to have her breakfast. “Are you going to meet Sophie again!?” “You see her every weekend and we never get to spend time together.” “You know....a daughter and a mother hangout.” “Mom, I told you, she’s like my best friend in the world that I know where I go to high school...
