...Populism in the Oz Mythology: One is Silver and the Other’s Gold Populism is a political idea that bloomed in Kansas in the late nineteenth century, and blossomed into a political movement well into the twentieth century. The idea represents a vast amount of people who want the best, but may not have their voices heard. Populism is the act of average men and women, farmers, etc., who want more than their political structure is offering, and demand change. Those who classify themselves as populists strive for more than what is offered by current politics, and strive for the best results in their community. Farmers during the late nineteenth century were great proponents for a silver standard, a compliment to the gold standard, as an accessible way for many in the middle class to increase their personal wealth. The creation of wealth for the lower-middle and middle-class would create a greater infrastructure economically, as these land owners could create more agricultural jobs by having to hire more people to harvest their new land. Countless works within the Oz Mythology include ideas chained to populism, the most prominent at the time being the proposition for a “Silver Standard” in addition to the current Gold Standard (Hansen). Having a silver standard within the novel would have radically changed the dynamics of the Gulch family in the original novel, which would then lead on to shape the economic setting of the following works within the Oz Mythology. During a time...

...The Signs of Depression Through the Context of Cather’s “Paul’s Case” The inability to conform to society might very well be detrimental to an individual’s wellbeing. Cather’s “Paul’s Case” focuses on a teenage boy with many issues, who involves himself in felonious actions of thievery as an escape from his morbid life in Pittsburg. The unusual behavior of young Paul coupled with his distaste for his living conditions leads him to run away from Pittsburg, only to commit suicide after being caught. Through Cather’s descriptions of Paul‟s temperament, readers are left to wonder “What is Paul’s case?” Although some literary critics view Paul’s rebellious behavior as an indication of other temperaments such as repression of homosexuality, Cather stabilizes Paul’s case as one of a deeply depressed nature....

...Simon Adelle UCOR 102 Paper 3 Professor Marcum Making It in A Man’s World April 29, 2013 “The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros exposes the life of the main character, Esperanza, for one year as she struggles with trying to find her place in America as a Chicana young girl while also coming of age. The novel starts the day Esperanza and her family of six move into a house on Mango Street, and immediately she expresses her antipathy for not only the house, but also for the area in which they move into and the people around who judge them because of their ethnicity. The story is not told in the traditional format of a continuous story divided into chapters, but rather Cisneros uses forty-four vignettes to allow for the reader to fully understand why Esperanza has the struggles that she has. Along with Cisneros’ illustrating Esperanza’s looking for her identity through images of Esperanza’s thoughts and female obedience, symbolism of violence, legs, the Statue for Liberty, and Nenny, and diction of Spanish words, not using quotation marks, and a maturing tone, she also uses these them to permeate Esperanza’s desperation to leave Mango Street throughout the whole novel. Cisneros’ use of vignettes highlights important moments in Esperanza’s life that emphasize how she develops over the course of a year. Cisneros uses the brevity of the vignettes to enhance the imagery to give the most vivid image through her limited amount of words for...

CONTENTS I TWENTY-TWO II JANE III IN THE PAVILION IV GOD'S FOOL V THE MIRACLE VI "ARE WE DOWNHEARTED? NO!" VII THE GAME LOVE STORIES TWENTY-TWO I The Probationer's name was really Nella Jane Brown, but she was entered in the training school as N. Jane Brown. However, she meant when she was accepted to be plain Jane Brown. Not, of course, that she could ever be really plain. People on the outside of hospitals have a curious theory about nurses, especially if they are under twenty. They believe that they have been disappointed in love. They never think that they may intend to study medicine later on, or that they may think nursing is a good and honourable career, or that they may really like to care for the sick. The man in this story had the theory very hard. When he opened his eyes after the wall of the warehouse dropped, N. Jane Brown was sitting beside him. She had been practising counting pulses on him, and her eyes were slightly upturned and very earnest. There was a strong odour of burnt rags in the air, and the man sniffed. Then he put a hand to his upper lip--the right hand. She was holding his left. "Did I lose anything besides this?" he inquired. His little moustache was almost entirely gone. A gust of fire had accompanied the wall. "Your eyebrows," said Jane Brown. The man--he was as young for a man as Jane...

...place during the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, with the result that, today, these two groups are widely, although by far not entirely, regarded as equal. However, only two centuries ago, people who were different or ‘other’ were considered subordinate or even frightening, and in the 19th century, this was true for both females and people from the orient or colonized people (Barry 134, 193). In Jane Eyre (JE), published in 1847, and in Wide Sargasso Sea (WSS), the prequel or paraquel of JE that was written about one hundred years later and published in 1966, the two female protagonists, Jane, a female orphan, and Antoinette, a female Creole, struggle against displacement and patriarchal oppression and, in Antoinette’s case, also against imperialistic domination. In JE, the reader learns that Jane can handle this pressure whereas Antoinette/Bertha1 has been driven insane. However, reading WSS makes us realize that not only Antoinette but also Jane may at some point be endangered to fall into madness because of her situation. However, due to sheer luck, a timely warning of what marriage to Rochester as his subordinate could mean and some unconscious help by Bertha, Jane is eventually able to marry the man she loves as his social...

...INTRODUCTION The practicum training is an integral part of the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management and Tourism (BSHMT) program of the City College of Tagaytay (CCT). It is intended to provide students learning experiences and the application of knowledge and skills in hospitality industry settings. The practicum is a co-operative education which aims to achieve an effective blend of classroom study and off-campus work experience in hospitality-related industry. The goal of the practicum is to prepare the student for competent and responsible practice. A successful practicum is one that achieves that goal. The BSHMT program of the City College of Tagaytay considers the practicum training to be among the most important professional preparation activities in which BSHMT students participate. Practicum experiences are intended to allow students to synthesize, apply and refine knowledge and skills learned in their academic experiences. In addition, practicum experiences are one of the primary ways in which department faculty members can observe and evaluate the skills of the student. Because of the importance of students’ practicum, the Department requires the student-trainee to prepare a narrative report of his practicum experiences in hospitality industry. This report was based on the student’s training experiences at the following establishments: Taal Vista Hotel, Taj of Tagaytay and Massimos Ristorante Italiano during the second semester of year 2007-2008 in...
