...The Austens lived in Steventon which is a rural village in Hampshire England where her father was a rector at an Anglican Church (Warren par 3). Her whole family was very close knit. She was closest to her sister Cassandra, her father and her brother Henry. As an Austen family activity Jane and her siblings would put on private plays in their living room (Warren par 4). “Growing up, the Austen children lived in an environment of open learning, creativity and dialogue” (Warren par 3). In 1785 Jane and Cassandra were sent to Abbey School House where her and her sister Cassandra were to receive a formal education, which consisted of mainly French, dancing, and music. When she came home her brothers and father took over the role of teaching her (“Jane Austen” par 4). Most of what she learned, and her love of literature came from the books that she read in her father’s library (Warren par 5). In 1800 Jane’s father moved them all to Bath where Jane was exposed to a new environment (“Jane Austen” par 24). As a result of her family environment where she was always encouraged to write and read, Jane was able to find her love for stories, which later helped her in her career as an...

...Introduction It appears that like many great artists, the writer Jane Austen was not greatly appreciated in her own time. 1 Austen came from a big family being the seventh child of George and Cassandra Austen. To some, the way Austen does not seem so bad as she had a family who liked each other and a Father who worked as an Oxford-trained rector in Steventon, Hampshire, England. Austen's was a household where learning and imagination were encouraged. In Austen's lifetime she completed six novels. However, her two novels considered literary classics were Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Austin went by the pen name: “The Lady”. Also, Austen had a special relationship with her only sister Casandra and her father. It should...

...Research Paper On Destructive love In relationships why are the women so controlling and want to wear the trousers in the relationship? Well in the four stories, Macbeth, My Last Duchess, Pride & Prejudice, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde you will learn how all four of these stories are related to today’s time relationships compared back in the medieval or renaissance romans era. In this essay I will discuss and point out key terms about today’s current relationships and what they lack in order to have a strong stable relationship versus back in the old ages where it was more related to today’s, but more complicated and dishonored.

...Research Paper #2 Chloe Ardelia Wofford, most commonly known as Toni Morrison, is an American novelist and professor. She was born on February 18, 1931, in Lorain, Ohio. She is the second child among her sister and two younger brothers. She came from a black working-class family that took pride in their heritage. As a child, Morrison enjoyed literature, unlike most children. She had a variety of favorite authors such as Jane Austen and Leo Tolstoy. She later on attended an integrated school with Europeans, Mexicans and Southern blacks. Since she adored literature, she was the only black student in her first grade class who could read. She maintained excellent grades and graduated with honors from Lorain High School in 1949. Wofford continued her education at Howard University, where she majored in English with a minor in classics. During this time, she alternated her name to Toni, since most people had difficulty pronouncing her original name. In the years she spent at Howard, Toni participated in a repertory company and graduated in 1953; more over, she later on attended Cornell University and achieved her master's degree in 1955. Wofford taught introductory English at Texas Southern University in Houston. A year or so later she met Harold Morrison, a Jamaican architect. The two ended up falling in love and eloped in 1958. They had their first son in 1961, who was named Harold Ford. Although, she was suffering from an unhappy marriage because she felt that her husband...

...A ROOM OF ONES OWN [* This essay is based upon two papers read to the Arts Society at Newnharn and the Odtaa at Girton in October 1928. The papers were too long to be read in full, and have since been altered and expanded.] ONE But, you may say, we asked you to speak about women and fiction--what, has that got to do with a room of one's own? I will try to explain. When you asked me to speak about women and fiction I sat down on the banks of a river and began to wonder what the words meant. They might mean simply a few remarks about Fanny Burney; a few more about Jane Austen; a tribute to the Brontës and a sketch of Haworth Parsonage under snow; some witticisms if possible about Miss Mitford; a respectful allusion to George Eliot; a reference to Mrs Gaskell and one would have done. But at second sight the words seemed not so simple. The title women and fiction might mean, and you may have meant it to mean, women and what they are like, or it might mean women and the fiction that they write; or it might mean women and the fiction that is written about them, or it might mean that somehow all three are inextricably mixed together and you want me to consider them in that light. But when I began to consider the subject in this last way, which seemed the most interesting, I soon saw that it had one fatal drawback. I should never be able to come to a conclusion. I should never be able to fulfil what is, I understand, the first duty of a lecturer to hand you after an hour's discourse a...

...If the author’s name occurs naturally in the sentence, only the year of publication is given: eg This concept is discussed by Jones (1998) … If there is no author, use a brief title instead: eg (Burden of anonymity, 1948) For websites, if there is no author or title, use the URL: eg (http://www.xxxxxxx.org, 2010) If the date cannot be identified, use the abbreviation n.d.: eg (Labour Party, n.d.) Page numbers should be included when there is a need to be more specific, for example when making a direct quotation. Use the abbreviation p. (for a single page) or pp. (more than one page): eg As Kelvin stated (1968, p.100) ‘the value of…’ If referencing a secondary source (a document which you have not seen but which is quoted in one of your references) the two items should be linked with the term ‘cited in’: eg …economic development (Jones, 2000, cited in Walker, 2004, p.53). NB for above example of secondary sources: You would only be able to include the source you have actually read in your reference list – in the above example you could only give full details of Walker unless you have read Jones yourself. It is good practice to try to read the original source (Jones) so that you can cite and reference it in addition to the source which quoted it (Walker). Handling Quotations in the text Short quotations may be run into the text, using single quotation marks: eg As Owens stated (2008, p...

...Citing your references using the Harvard (Author-Date) system Is this the correct guide for you? Before using this guide, please check whether your Department, School or Faculty specifies the use of a particular referencing system and, if so, if it provides its own guidelines to that system. Note that some Departments,Schools or Faculties may expect both a list of (cited) references and a (general) bibliography, rather than one single reference list/bibliography. Why is it important to cite references? • It is accepted practice in the academic world to acknowledge the words, ideas or work of others and not simply to use them as if they were your own. Failure to do this could be regarded as plagiarism - see http://www.brookes.ac.uk/library/skill/plagiarism.html • to enable other people to identify and trace your sources quickly and easily • to support facts and claims you have made in your text 1. In-text citations The in-text citation is placed at the exact point in your document where you refer to someone else’s work, whether it is a book, journal, online document, website or any other source. It consists of author (or editor/compiler/translator) and publication year, in brackets: eg Agriculture still employs half a million people in rural Britain (Shucksmith, 2000). An author can be an organisation or Government Department (common with websites): eg (English Heritage, 2010) If there are 2 authors, both...

...Published on Graphic Novel Reporter (http://graphicnovelreporter.com) Why Comics Make Reading Fun “Wak!” “Crunch!” and “Glom!” taught Vicky Smith how to read. “For end-of-the-day snuggling with my mother,” she relates, “Uncle Scrooge comics were our stories of choice. When I was about four, she started me out reading the sound effects to give me practice in phonetics as well as an opportunity to participate. One magical night, I apparently turned to her and said, ‘Now, I will read Huey, Louie, and Dewey, and you read Uncle Scrooge and Donald.’ And from that moment on, I was a reader, and she proselytized the Gospel of Uncle Scrooge to all of her friends!” As for Vicky, it was a fine literary beginning for the future Children’s Editor of Kirkus Reviews. Comics Teaching Words Other adult word professionals boast similar “origin stories” for reading. “You’d be surprised,” Diamond Comics’ John Shableski told GNR last August in his Op Ed on Kids, Graphic Novels and Publishing, “at how many mainstream authors fell in love with reading books because of comics. I see them at comics conferences, where they recall...their favorite comic characters with warmth, passion, and enthusiasm.” Cartoonist Phil Yeh, dyslexic himself, says, "Ray Bradbury and many others have told me that they themselves fell in love with comics, especially comic strips, when they were young and then found themselves checking out other books in the library, becoming life-long readers." Some of these young...

...Guide to Referencing and Citations Sheffield Hallam University Learning and Information Services Accurate and consistent referencing is essential in all academic work. Whenever you refer to either the work or ideas of someone or are influenced by another's work, you must acknowledge this. Similarly if you use a direct quotation from someone's work this should be referred to accurately. There are a number of systems of referencing. This guide offers detailed guidance based on a range of British and international standards for producing references and bibliographies according to the Harvard method. You may be asked to use another system, such as a numeric system or to use a different version of the Harvard method. If this is the case, please refer to your course handbook or tutors for guidance. This guide does not cover the use of footnotes as these are not used in the Harvard method. You can search this document or use the contents list below Contents: What is referencing?
