...could use some updating. There were three more bedrooms on the second floor. The room she used, the one her parents used, and a third guest room. These all needed minor repairs mainly the wood floors needed refinishing and the walls fresh paint. She jotted down more notes. There was one more area to examine, the attic. Remembering that boards covered the windows, she needed something to pry them away to allow light into the space. Casey returned to the car to grab the flashlight from the glove compartment and a tire iron from the trunk before returning to the attic. As the door swung open a musty odor greeted her. Standing in the doorway, she waited a few moments while her eyes adjusted to the darkness before moving into the center of the room. Scanning the room for the general direction of the windows splinters of...

...complex characters, Woolf’s husband Leonard and Vaughn’s best friend Richard intermingle to create a story with a strong message about the treatment of disease especially among the homosexual community. Only after applying Deconstructionist literary theory does Cunningham’s comment on the plight of the homosexual reveal itself. When examining the story from a Deconstructionist viewpoint, Clarissa Vaughn acts as Richard’s binary opposite. When Clarissa and Richard first meet in the story, Clarissa brings Richard flowers, a traditionally masculine role. Richard, in contrast, is describes as having a mind “eaten to lace,” a decidedly feminine image and Clarissa equates his home to “the hold of a sunken ship” a yonic image further depicting Richard as the female in the scene. If, in the novel, the female Clarissa was a literary genius suffering from AIDS feminist literary critics would have dubbed her “the mad woman in the attic;” however, this “mad woman in the attic” concept applies instead to Richard the homosexual man in the story. By applying this feminist terminology to Richard, Cunningham compares the plight of the artistically repressed woman of the 19th century to the repressed homosexual of the late 20th century. During this modern time period when Michael Cunningham gathered ideas for his book, most believed AIDS was an epidemic isolated in the homosexual community causing the afflicted men to become ostracized and stigmatized by their heterosexual counterparts...

...English 101 Professor Zitter July 29, 2014 Female Stereotype Banished Since the 1960’s, there have been various types of feminist criticism that have been analyzed and interpreted through literature. A feminism critic is one who works to represent the belief that men are superior to women and feminists will create change so women can be fully recognized and respected (Dobie 97). One of the earliest and most influential accounts of Feminism is the American Feminism. The American Feminist criticism, Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, argues that women have been stereotyped through literature, text, and images. Historically, feminist movements have been divided into three waves. In the nineteenth century, the first wave’s focus was on politics of women. For example, the right to vote (“History and Theory” par.6).According to first wave feminist, Simon De Beauvoir, she believes “Women are not born inferior, but made to be so” (Dobie 100). The second wave in the 20th century, focused on “liberation which were legal and social rights for women”(History and Theory” par. 6). Feminists in this wave, Virginia Woolf critiques the absence of women within literary work throughout history and emphasize that gender is shaped by society. (Dobie 101). The last wave, which is still occurring today, overlaps with the second wave and it is a continuation of the failures within the second wave. Each theorist have different perspectives that lead them into different groups according to their belief and...

...metropolis with a nightlife that matches the city’s wildlife. You can hang out with baboons and zebras at Cape Point in the morning, dine at an Atlantic seaboard bistro for lunch, tipple at a Constantia wine estate in the afternoon and party the night away in a Long Street club. All in a Cape Town day. The vast Northern Cape, the largest and most dispersed of South Africa’s provinces, is not an easy region to tackle as a visitor. From the lonely Atlantic coast to Kimberley, the provincial capital on its eastern border with the Free State, it covers over one-third of the nation’s landmass, an area dominated by heat, aridity, empty spaces and huge travelling distances. The miracles of the desert are the main attraction – improbable swaths of flowers, diamonds dug from the dirt and wild animals roaming the dunes. Anatoli- The red-brick façade, green shutter doors, and tall casement windows say old Cape Town, but inside this Green Point restaurant, the sights, sounds, and aromas evoke Istanbul. Eastern cape Sandwiched between the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa’s two most popular coastal provinces, the Eastern Cape tends to be bypassed by visitors – and for all the wrong reasons. The relative neglect it has suffered as a tourist destination and at the hands of the government is precisely where its charm lies. You can still find traditional African villages here, and the region’s 1000km of undeveloped coastline alone justifies a visit,...

...One could describe it as some sort of mental sanctuary. This place or these people are created by one’s subcontinents to help find solutions to one’s problems, give one a break from one’s life, or just have someone to talk to. In Teddy’s imagination for instance, he is “his Majesty King Theodore I … [reigning over] Kingdom Upalia” (page 42). This imaginary world of his lets him escape his everyday life, as well as his aunt and uncle, who seem to not be supportive nor loving/caring enough. Upstairs in the attic, where he built this kingdom out of cardboard and paper, he is the King and he makes the rules. Downstairs on the other hand, his aunt and uncle have the control and Teddy is supposed to just “mechanically … [obey]” (page 43). In Upalia he even defeated his uncle, who in his imagination is Zikla the Duke of Anders, as we find out when “Teddy [looks]at his [uncle]… and [reflects] on his resemblance to Zikla” (page 43). Also Bill Ranson seems to escape the torment of his mother and his trauma about his wife’s death, by fleeing into his imaginary world. But in some cases, people become so obsessed with their imaginary world that they can’t tell it from reality. Bill seems to be one of these cases. He is caught between his imaginary world and...

...Life without Television When my family’s only television set went to the repair shop the other day, my parents, my sister, and I thought we would have a terrible week. How could we get through the long evenings in such a quiet house? What would it be like without all the shows to keep us company? We soon realized, though, that living without television for a while was a stroke of good fortune. It became easy for each of us to enjoy some activities alone, to complete some postponed chores, and to spend rewarding time with each other and friends. First of all, with no television to compete for our time, we found plenty of hours for personal interests. We all read more that week than we had read during the six months before. We read as a family, but we also read stories on our own. Reading stories as a family brought us closer together it seemed. We told stories of our daily encounters. We even learned of stories from our family history. We each also enjoyed some hobbies we had ignored for ages. Our family enjoyed nice outdoor activities- such as basketball, baseball, and golf. We all learned that we were in fact, a very competitive family. We even learned out to sew and knit in our spare time. We enjoyed old activities as well as learning how to do new ones. In addition, my sister and I both stopped procrastinating with our homework. Our grades improved tremendously. We learned that we could help each other out and our homework became easier. We also learned that it is easier...

...Chrysothemis and Amphitheus I Roman equivalent Ceres Festivals Thesmophoria In ancient Greek religion and myth, Demeter (/diˈmiːtər/; Attic Δημήτηρ Dēmētēr. Doric Δαμάτηρ Dāmātēr) is the goddess of the harvest, who presided over grains and the fertility of the earth. Her cult titles include Sito (σίτος: wheat) as the giver of food or corn/grain[1] and Thesmophoros (θεσμός, thesmos: divine order, unwritten law) as a mark of the civilized existence of agricultural society.[2] Though Demeter is often described simply as the goddess of the harvest, she presided also over the sanctity of marriage, the sacred law, and the cycle of life and death. She and her daughter Persephone were the central figures of the Eleusinian Mysteries that predated the Olympian pantheon. In the Linear B Mycenean Greek tablets of circa 1400–1200 BC found at Pylos, the "two mistresses and the king" may be related with Demeter, Persephone and Poseidon.[3][4] Her Roman equivalent is Ceres.[5] Etymology Didrachme from Paros island, struck at the Cyclades and representing Demeter Demeter's character as mother-goddess is identified in the second element of her name meter (μήτηρ) derived from Proto-Indo-European *méh₂tēr (mother).[6] In antiquity, different explanations were already proffered for the first element of her name. It is possible that Da (Δᾶ) (which became Attic Ge (Γῆ)) is the Doric form of De (Δῆ), "earth", the old name of the chthonic earth-goddess, and that Demeter is "Mother-Earth".[7] This...

INDEX 1) Poem- Daffodils 2) Questions and Answers 3) Summary 4) Explanation Poem I wandered lonely as a Cloud That floats on high o'er vales and Hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden Daffodils; Beside the Lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A Poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed--and gazed--but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the Daffodils. Questions and Answers 1) What was the poet doing when he saw the daffodils? Answer: The poet was walking around through the hills and valleys, but he felt all lonely and mopey. Suddenly, as he passed the lake, he noticed a big group of yellow daffodils waving in the breeze. 2) What does the poet compare himself with? “I wandered lonely as a Cloud...

...Return to Neverland They say that Disneyland is a place where all your dreams come true and as a seven year old girl, my dreams did come true. One can never expect the sights and sounds that emanate from this massively giant unknown world I was about to enter. As I walked past the statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse and through the walkway of Cinderella’s castle, I could feel my heart pounding in my ears as if a bass drum was my brain and being pounded with excitement. Going back as a nineteen year old was just as exciting. In some ways it was better. I felt like a little girl again. I was able to remember a lot more. The scenery was much the same. The flower bed of Mickey’s face was just as beautiful as I remembered it to be. The crowds and the heat were about the same although I don’t remember it ever feeling like I was in a 105 degree sauna all day long. Both times that I went to Disneyland, I felt like royalty. I felt as if nothing in the world mattered except that I was with my family and I was having the time of my life. I don’t remember not liking any of the rides except Its A Small World. I couldn’t stand it. It is about a thirteen minute ride and I wanted to get off after the first five minutes. Being tall for my seven year old age, my knees hit the seat in front of me and I felt like I was being scrunched into the fetal position, with my knees up to my chest making it hard to breathe. The ride played the same music over and over again in different languages...

...example “The Little-Match Seller,” was about his mother as a child. His mother would constantly remind Hans of how lucky he was to eat all the regular foods regular families had on holidays. Another story was “The Snow Queen,” which was about his mother’s flower garden in their attic. As he grew up, he discovered his love for acting. So when he grew to adulthood, he went to Copenhagen to become an actor but when he tried to present his skills to a professional artist he was quickly turned away. So he went to another professional artist to become a singer, but this time the artist said he would take him as an apprentice if he learned German. Hans accepted and learned German and had practice sessions with the artist, but Hans was still poor and the weather was cold, so when his boots wore out he got a cold which ruined his voice. Again he was soon turned away. He then tries to become a dancer and is accepted into a school for dancing, but again Hans is soon turned away. So one day he goes back to visit a family he's friends with and reads them a poem, seeing as he occasionally wrote stories and poems, and he reads the poem to the mother of the family, and she hands him a rose and tells him every poet gives a girl a flower. After that moment in his life, he knew he had to write his way to fame. Soon after he tries to write a play and sends it to the Directors of the Royal Theater, but soon after is told his play is illogical and isn't good enough ...

...Unit 1 – Explorations in Poetry & Prose “The main interest is the male characters.” Both Jane Eyre and The Magic Toyshop present the reader with a rogues gallery of men who exhibit the worst, and occasionally the best, traits of their gender. To a modern feminist, the suggestion that both Jane and Melanie are defined by their experiences with these male characters would be a heresy, but there is little doubt that the males’ primary function is to provide the challenges that shape the emergent womanhood of the female protagonists. They are interesting because they are grotesque. Jane’s early experiences with men are physically and verbally abusive, highlighting Jane’s vulnerability as both orphan and young girl in a patriarchal society: ”Wicked and cruel boy --- You are like the Roman emperors! “ This comparison may seem exaggerated, even comical, were it not to show how John’s reign of terror impacts on a young child whose only frame of reference lies in the books she reads so avidly. These early experiences also reflect the connivance of women in men’s abusive behaviour towards other women, whether through defect of character or social conditioning. “John no-one thwarted, much less punished…” John’s mother indulges her wayward son just as she preconditions Mr Brocklehurst in his treatment of Jane by calling her a liar. Melanie too is quickly exposed to the brutishness of a dominant male, the extreme effects manifest in the symbolic and actual silencing of...
