...Reisz affects Edna’s awakening because both of their lives pertain to artistic fields in certain ways. Mlle. Reisz is a famous pianist, and this ability of hers plays an important role in the second awakening of Edna as the music of Reisz affects the emotions and spirits of Edna. Her playing at the house in Grand Isle affects Edna emotionally, causing the “very passions themselves [to be] aroused within her soul…” (Chopin 44-45). The piano music that Reisz plays affects Edna in a similar way to her communion with Adele, in the regard that it causes an almost explosive release of emotion. Both ways differ, however, as Adele’s way of causing release of emotion is more physical and social and Reisz’s are more mental and emotional. Reisz’s influence hampers Edna’s development as a painter and artist through her blunt and caustic nature, which results in disagreements between the two characters. Reisz argues that the artist needs to have a specific message within her interpretation of her work, saying that the artist must have a “brave soul, [a] soul that dares and defies...” (Chopin 106). She says this because she is both trying to challenge Edna and be blunt about her profession. Edna simply cannot become an artist, she has to work and devote her time and express a message through her work. This can be related to the feminist effort that Edna is attempting to pursue, because in Mlle. Reisz’s opinion, Edna is not fully embracing the independent ideas of the feminism. Edna is taking some...

...When I was asked why I chose to study human science, it left me puzzled, it always just seemed like a natural thing for as long as I could remember. I knew I loved it but being put on the spot as to why, really caught me off guard. As I sit here on an upholster chair, under a dim light of a lamp, gazing at the steam over my cup of peppermint tea, I am finding myself really thinking why, looking back on past experiences, what could make me love something so much that I would dedicate my whole life to fulfilling it, then it came to me, clearer than crystal, how could I ever forget? Even though It can get confusing, everyone should study human biology at least once, because it could lead to a a world of possibilities, you never know you might discover your future, it is all happening inside of you every second, rapidly and aggressively, you should know what you are capable of as a human, it’s so beautiful and complex. Up until grade nine, my science was not complex and for lack of a better word, it was boring. It was dinosaurs and food chains, of course we covered the health unit of it all, referring to the birds and the bee’s and the obvious yet traumatizing question all of our parents dread as a child, where do babies come from? Let’s get real though, all that was more awkward than educational. I always wanted to be a teacher, I grew up as the baby of a fairly large family, everyone had something to teach me, I wanted to change it all and be the one finally doing the teaching...

...Natural Effects on a Boy Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Confessions has the entire life of its author’s experiences, virtues, and detailed imperfections. Rousseau’s Confessions is one of the first notable autobiographies and has influenced many forms of narratives. It inaugurated modern day autobiography and inspired a narrative technic used in many great novels. Rousseau wrote this autobiography in order to tell the world about himself and express the nature of man. He did not want to be known by how people thought of him, but rather be able to tell people exactly what happened in his life and let them be the judge. Rousseau begins Confessions by stating, “this is the only portrait of a man, painted exactly according to nature and in all of its truth, that exists and will probably ever exist” (57). He included embarrassing experiences and personal thoughts from throughout his life to show every possible virtue of his life. He portrays what every boy encounters from mischievous trickery to entering sexual adulthood. The events that change his life and himself become a consistent theme while he describes his childhood, sexual cravings, and natural thoughts of a boy’s life. One of the most common subjects in Rousseau autobiography is the story of his childhood and the nature of a boy. Rousseau’s mother passed away during his birth, which strained the relation between him and his father. When they tried to speak of her the conversation would end with tears because his father saw Rousseau’s...

...Mengfei Zhou (Candy) English 111-Essay 3 October 23, 2011 Exploring Self Fighting against social expectations and conventional morals on the journey of progressing-liberation, women have to insist on the quest for female identity with unrelenting passion during a male-dominated period. According to Fox-Genovese’s argument that Edna’s immaturity allows her to question her social position as a social truth. However, I would argues that, in The Awakening written by Kate Chopin, Edna sets an impressive example that presents us with a figure who takes a weary and tough journey in seeking liberation and authentic identity in a complex society, along with exploring self. The courageous soul seems to be the essential beacon guiding her through this tough tunnel, whereas, she finally understands that being herself in an authentic society will be the first step in truly achieving liberation. Quite a few people claim that Edna already has an authentic life, since she is well protected by her husband, who looks at his wife “as one looks at a valuable piece of personal property which has suffered some damage” (The Awakening, Page 4) My view, however, is that this has the same meaning as Edna being a caged bird who is not fully understood by others. The author writes: “Her eyebrows were a shade darker than her hair. They were thick and almost horizontal, emphasizing the depth of her eyes. She was rather handsome than beautiful.” (The Awakening, Page 5) We learn that Edna’s powerful...

In her three works The Awakening, “A Point at Issue” and “Wiser than a God”, she portrays women who have taken on different types of female roles. Per Seyersted calls these roles the “patriarchal woman”, which I choose too exemplify by Mme. Ratignolle from The Awakening, the “modern woman,” who Seyersted exemplifies by Eleanor from “A Point of Issue,” and the “emancipated woman,” who Seyersted exemplifies by Paula from “Wiser than a God” (Seyersted 102-105). One can say that these women have accepted and internalized a female role in society, by either following the rules of patriarchal society or breaking them. Edna, the protagonist of The Awakening, is a woman in search of her female identity. She is uncomfortable in her role as the “patriarchal woman” and has trouble obtaining either of the other two roles. This essay will focus on Edna’s inability to find her female role. Comparing her to the three other types of women in Chopin’s works, I will show why she cannot conform to any one of these roles, and how the resulting suicide...

...most prized possessions, and in them, he was constantly trying to improve on his writing. (Williams). Another source of inspiration for Irving was the European myths and legends that he learned of. In fact, “Irving's most important friendship in Granada, both now and during his second visit in 1829, was with this Spanish peasant, Mateo Ximénez, who acted as his guide and who told him many tales which later appeared in Irving book. (The Alhambra 1832)” (Williams) (22) “Irving wanders into the town of Sleepy Hollow, New York, and is told of the story of the Headless Horseman, also known as the Galloping Hessian.” (Characteristics) (Booksie)A final source of influence for Irving’s writings are the, “delightful letters,” that Irving wrote to Mlle. Antoinette Bolviller, a niece of M. D'Oubril, the Russian minister at Madrid. Irving took great pride in these letters, and he often sought help on writing them. There is speculation that this is one of the reasons that he decided...

...Great Impact of a King on music and theatre Sinan Erk Mutafoğlu 11149 HUM 204 Prof. Filiz Ali December 2nd, 2011 In the 17th century, France witnessed political, social and artistic facts which were triggered by the relationships between Louis the Fourteenth, Jean-Baptiste Lully and Moliere. This relationship between these important figures of 17th century can also be delineated as the connection between the political power, music and theatre. Before emphasizing the interaction among them, it might be illuminating to specify their backgrounds in order to gain an insight about their relations. Following, I am going to specify on their relationships and their influences on French music and theatre. Louis the 14th, who is named as France’s Sun King, had the longest reign in European history beginning from 1643 until he dies in 1715. He had only five years old when he became the king of France, therefore the reign was almost dominated by the Cardinal until he died in 1661 ( Louis XIV, David J. Sturdy, pg 23 ). Following the cardinal’s death, Louis brought the absolute monarchy at the risk of taking both his mother’s and the council’s reactions (Louis XIV, David J.Sturdy, pg 34). Afterward, these reactions were also gravitated to the relation between Louis, Lully and Moliere. He established Versailles palace...
