...assertive woman. An example of a shrew is Kate, from William Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. This intriguing play leans towards the idea that men should control and overpower their wives. Petruchio expressed his like for her and his desire to meet her by saying “Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench. I love her ten times more than e’er I did. Oh, how I long to have some chat with her” (Shakespeare 88). However, when women are taught to obey men, it restricts them. Men controlling their wives often leads to marital problems and complications. If you were to control everybody, you would most likely feel like you have the upperhand, and you’d abuse the power you have, which is what...

...Analysis and interpretation of “School Run” They say that love is not about appearance, money or what other people think about the person you fall in love with. Love comes from the inside and you do not achieve true love by being materialistic. But is this true? How about the social norms? Would you be able to love a person, that your family and friends do not appreciate, because he/she is too different and cannot live up to the social norms? Would you be able to love this person and stay true to yourself? In the short story "School Run" (2013) by Kate Marsh, we are told that the narrator and her husband, Magnus, are happily married, even though the narrator's friends do not appreciate him, because he is not living up to the social norms. “School Run” has an epical way of narrating and a single-stranded story line, which is a part of making it a short story. In this short story there is a first person narrator, but we do not know what the name of the narrator is. It can be seen that the changes in time and place are not separated into different sections, but it is possible to separate the whole text into different periods of the characters’ life. Even though that the changes in time and place are not separated into different sections, it can be seen that the events are told in a chronological order. There is a lot of information in this story, it is like the author is writing a biography on a limited number of pages, where the narrative is jumping past certain periods...

...Gabriel’s epiphany at the end of the story. With a title like “The Dead” we imagine that it is going to take place in some gloomy place, like a graveyard. However, to our surprise the story opens up to a Christmas party in which Mr. & Mrs. Conroy, Gabriel and Gretta, are invited to attend. We do not get the feeling of gloom or death, but more of a warm inviting environment. However, with the progression of the story the focus shifts towards the isolation and insecurities that Gabriel is exemplifying. We first see this taking place when he is questioning himself about his speech that he is planning on giving later on in the night. Gabriel is wondering whether or not to quote Robert Browning because he “fears they would be above the heads of his hearers.” (2174) He feels it better to quote “Shakespeare or from the Melodies would be better.” (2174) It seems relevant that we read this within the first pages of the story, because the Irish Melodies he mentions were “extremely popular in the late 19th and early 20th century.”(2174) These collections of songs by Thomas Moore included one called “O Ye Dead.” Even though Joyce does not mention Thomas Moore directly in...

...Khiree Cross Ap Summer Reading Assignment The Awakening By: Kate Chopin July 18, 2013 Part One The setting of The Awakening so far is in the Grand Isle, a popular place for a summer vacation where wealthy people go. The Grand Isle is a spot where all the wealthy Creoles, from New Orleans, go for the summer to relax, and have fun. The time setting seems to be in the early 1900s because of the things they do and the lack of technology. The husband of Edna, Leonce, go away on a trip and on this trip he sends her chocolates which no one in the present time eats anymore. The tone of The Awakening at the start is a relaxed and peaceful one. As the story progresses is becomes a more serious and emotional one. It is serious because Leonce feels as if his wife is carless for her family. She doesn't show too much love nor is affection towards them and that becoming a problem. It is also emotional because Edna is clueless to what he is talking about and feels bad after he tells her off before he leaves for his trip. She is lost and wants to find her own independence, or find herself. Part Two The three characters that I will characterize from this book are Edna, Madamoiselle, and Robert. Edna is a caring and loving wife and mother. She is married to a rich businessman Leonce who is the provider for their family. In the story so far Edna seems as if she is lost or missing something. She seems tired of the lifestyle she is living and is nonchalant about everything. She likes the...

...Kaitlin Bruderer Mrs. Burr English 10/10 8th Family Vacation Family trips to Sun Valley, Idaho are the highlight of my year. This vacation is not planned by our family; it is actually set up for a medical conference my dad and his boss attend, but honestly that is the small of the trip. We go because Sun Valley has amazing ski resorts and my whole family enjoys snowboarding, even my 7 year old brother. All of us learned from my dad. Since we go during the month of February there is always a Super Bowl party . We stay up late and cheer until all of us kids fall asleep and are drug back to our room. We play in the snow, go to fancy places to eat, and best of all we get a whole week to spend together. All too soon our trip ends. Dreading the long treacherous car ride home we look forward to sleeping in our own room in our own soft beds. Within the first few days of being home all of my friends know what goes on while I am on vacation, and usually it is detailed nicely starting off at the beginning. For some reason the car ride up is always long, longer than I ever remember. I listen to my iPod because I don’t like what my dad plays. Heaping piles of glistening snow and some cars pass as we drive, this doesn’t interest me so I sleep. When we get to the hotel my dad has to go get the keys. We do not stay in the main hotel, they also own cabins and that is where we stay. By the time we get to our cabin I cannot wait to get out and stretch. We unload the car and decide who is...

...his passage comes well into a very long poem which I doubt the character Mary would have memorized. The audience needn't know that; many may know no more than she does when she calls the author Pope Alexander. She quotes as she's trying to impress a boss she loves. Kaufman has that knack of painlessly explaining his subject right there on the screen. Consider how much information about evolution he embeds in his screenplay for "Adaptation." Kaufman, the most gifted screenwriter of the 2000s, is concerned above all about the processes of thought and memory. His screenplay for Spike Jonze's "Being John Malkovich" (1999) involved a way to spend 15 minutes inside the mind of another person. Michel Gondry's "Human Nature" (2001) is concerned about the Nature vs. Nurture theories of our behavior: Do we start this way, or do we learn it? Jonze's "Adaptation" (2002) contrasts the physical evolution of orchids (which assume fantastic forms to earn a living) with identical twins, one who writes from his nature and the other from his nurture. In George Clooney's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" (2002), he shows the game show creator Chuck Barris leading a double life as a deadly CIA assassin (Barris believes this story is factual). Kaufman's first film as a director, "Synecdoche, New York" (2008), is his most challenging. He attempts no less than to...

...While growing up, he was scared to turn out like his father who was lazy, afraid, and weak. The text states, “even as a little boy he had resented his father’s failure and weakness, and even now he still remembered how he had suffered when a playmate had told him that his father was agbala. That was how Okonkwo first came to know that agbala was not only another name for a woman, it could also mean a man who had taken to title (2.12)”. Okonkwo tried so hard to be so different and ever since a young boy he started invested in this future life to become wealthy. Everything was so perfect for him. His life was easy, he had money, many women, big farms, and a nice house. Everything starts to get messed up when he kills his adoptive son and he does not show any remorse because he tries so hard to be opposite of his father. This part is when the reader sees the problem about Okonkwo’s self-identity and how his ambition to be unlike is father will mess things up. During a funeral, Okonkwo kills another boy by accident but this time the Igbo people evicted him for seven years to live with his mother in their homelands. While Okonkwo is at his mother homelands, he discovers about the missionaries and how they are trying to take over the land he once ruled. Therefore, after his seven years Okonkwo returns to his Igbo people and tries to reclaim his land. One day during a council, Okonkwo kills a court messenger from the missionaries...

Perhaps that’s why. The first and still the only in the clergy association. Or maybe it is because of where she is from. No one from San Francisco had come to live here before. Occasionally an outsider moved to this town, in the northern tier of the state, but the flow is almost always in the other direction, away from, not into. And the few that do come to stay aren’t from California, a place that to this day, decades after it had long faded, is believed to be an incubator for radical lifestyles and subversive politics. 4 Arthur Dobrin Or perhaps her name—Ailanthus—a strange one, where here, if you are named after flora it is Rose or Violet or another sweet smelling flower that could be grown in the garden.
