...a baseball game. Tea Cake had come into the shop to buy cigarettes and casually started up a conversation with Janie. The two clicked with each other and he offered to teach her how to play checkers. Janie had finally begun to feel as if she fit in again and did not feel as if she was being classed off just because she had been the mayor’s wife. I believe that Tea Cake helped Janie to break out of her shell and she finally realized she needed to stop caring about the other people in town and how they felt about her. I feel that Janie was finally beginning to become genuinely happy again after meeting Tea Cake because she felt accepted by him. I also believe that after meeting Tea Cake Janie came to the realization that it was finally time for her to move on and start her life up again. Evaluation/Analysis of Characters: In chapter eleven of the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, some people of the town had taken to notice Tea Cake and Janie hanging around one another quite often. Many people had come to Janie to warn her of Tea Cake and told her that he was only after her money. Janie...

...Final paper 05/02/14 Diversity of Love Love can be an intensive feeling of lust from one individual to another, as well as an obsession that leads to people doing unusual things. The different types of love conveyed between the stories “A rose for Emily” and “Hamlet and Ophelia” are over compassionate ties and misleading love associations. Between these two stories the true dimensions portrayed of love are both ordinary and extreme. Once reading these books a reader can conclude that love itself can make you do some crazy things. “A rose for Emily” is a fictional analysis of horror or gothic tales between an over protective father, a psychotic spoiled daddy’s girl, and her lover. The relationship shown here between the girl and her father can be perceived as a typical father-daughter scenario played into today’s society. As most fathers, Emily’s dad never saw anyone up to his standards for his beloved daughter. With this being said Emily was never allowed to date or find a man’s love beyond her father’s. This put her in a distressful emotional state when she had to come to terms with her father passing away. Emily was an extremely over-bearing individual when it came to love. Her family and father had always been highly overrated people. They looked at other human-beings who did not fit their upbringings as “outsiders” and below them. In this narrative, the citizens of the town which Emily resides in are very judgmental when it comes to her personal life. Once her father...

...Understanding “Bride Comes to Yellow Sky” by Stephen Crane Garrett-Petts uses the term common places to describe the Greek methodology in studying literature stemming from the Greek work topoi which means places. Aristotle identified 28 topoi but Garrett-Petts groups these 28 topoi into 6 groups which they call “common places.” Studying literature for its message, meaning, use of message, and relationship to one’s experience is difficult to convey as trying to analyze a blood sample for disease without any laboratory equipment. One is usually unable to construct arguments about literary interpretations and literary interpretations beyond basic plot without having knowledge of specific mode of thinking. These common places are vehicles where one can channel their thoughts to fully analyze a work of literature. The Common places which I chose to focus on was the Contemptus Mundi and Complexity. Contemptus mundi translated from latin literally means contempt of the world. This is a very interesting common place to have in the first place because it stresses the idea that “the modern world is a place of decay, alienation, and anxiety.” (Garrett-Petts, 70) It seems that many believe that the day they live in is worse off then the day they lived in yesterday. Writers produce literature to make a statement, most often it is about how something in our day is so wrong. In a sense this writers who write with the idea of Contemptus mundi they set themselves up for the paradox of hedonism...

...Faulkner’s story “A Rose for Emily” are stories of where the characters Emily Grierson (“A Rose for Emily”) and Porphyria’s lover ('Porphyria's Lover') are so insanely in love to the point they cannot live without the one they feel so strongly for, which drives them to insanity and murder. Emily Grierson and Porphyria’s lovers insanity are brought on from different emotional states. Insanity or mental illness is defined as “any disease or condition affecting the brain that influences the way a person thinks, feels, behaves, and/or relates to others and to his or her surroundings” (Amal Chakraburtty). According to the website WebMD Amal Chakraburtty, MD, Mental illness may be caused from many factors such as: Heredity (genetics), Biology, Psychological trauma, and Environmental stressors. The character Emily’s illness may be caused from either heredity, Psychological trauma, and or Environmental stressors. Porphyria's Lovers mental illness appears to be brought on by Psychological trauma. An analysis of Emily Grierson and Porphyria’s lovers emotional state will provide in contrast the reason that drove them both to murder. Robert Browning's “Porphyria's Lover” is a dramatic monologue poem about an insecure, possessive and egotistical lover who, upon finding a moment in which he is reassured of his partner’s love for him; attempts to preserve the moment by killing her. The poem has a very dark theme, being murder and insanity as the main idea in the poem. The poem begins with a...

...Johnathan Corlew Literary Analysis A Rose for Emily: William Faulkner William Faulkner first published “A Rose for Emily” in 1930; however, this short story resides in a small southern town during the post-Civil War period. During this age in time, the Unites States was going through major political changes. But Ms. Emily was not ready for change. Faulkner uses repugnant imagery and a unique narration style to explore a woman’s inability to cope with death and change throughout the community and within herself (Perry 40). Growing up in the Grierson family, Emily knew her family was powerful and popular, and she was fortunate enough to live surrounded by love and luxury. Emily’s father loved her dearly and only wanted the best for her, but most of the time he was a little over protective and perceived to control his daughter’s life. He felt as if no man could ever be good enough for his one and only. The Griersons were definitely different from every other household in the small southern town of Jefferson, and Emily’s father made sure everyone knew of this. Since Emily’s father was a tyrant throughout her life, she rarely got the chance to enjoy anything outside of the Grierson residence (Watkins 509). The early agony that Emily had to tolerate created a permanent emotional cripple to her life. Emily most likely did not have a concrete idea of how a real family should function and cooperate, especially with the absence of a mother figure. Other than the Grierson family...

...English 419 Section 1 Critical Analysis Paper July 23, 2000 Ghost Town As it comes to pass, our weary traveler’s life seems to be quite the blur of incidents and past experiences that either happened or not. In his mind he cannot tell what is real in the now, what happened a while ago and what might occur in the future. People from the past seem to reappear and places seem to shuttle him about based on a plotted story that he has no control over. The general cycle of his endless travels seem to incorporate the befalling on a town where he attains an adventure. This adventure leads him in many directions in and away from the town. Each stage of his planned adventure must be followed to some script that he does not have in his possession nor can he control. Each time he tries to move ahead with his own agenda, he is stopped by whatever or whoever is writing the adventure script, whether it be an empty bar room with no inhabitants or an endless maze through the town that always seems to lead to one location. When our traveler completes his assigned adventure, the town releases him with a narrow memory of what has happened and drops him back in the desert on a travel toward the same town in the distance that he seems to think has been part of his past, but is never sure. It seems to be that our traveler’s life is set to be and endless replay of the same time frame in which his adventures change with the “Luck of the Draw”. In the initial...

...Analysis and interpretation of Judy Troy’s ”The Order of Things” Sigurd Storgaard 2.e Everybody can fall in love. Even the most settled people with a wife and children can suddenly fall in love with another woman or vice versa. This is the order of things, but it may seem like a hackneyed truism that everybody at every age can abruptly in the middle of the hardships of the everyday feel the hair-raising feeling of being in love. When it happens to a settled person it causes him or her a lot of ethical consideration. But when the feeling is strong enough people, at least Carl and Lily, find it okay to cheat on their spouses. Carl and Lucy are the main characters in Judy Troy’s short story “The Order of Things”. It is a short story that among other things deals with the issues put forward. It is about a reverend, Carl, and a woman, Lily, who fall in love. They live in a small town called Worland and they are both settled and married. They have a romantic love affair on a trip, but when they come back it is hard for them to find the right time to see each other. After all, they start dating in the church on weekdays – they are in love like teenagers and they want to get married. But on the iciest winter day Lily dies accidently. Carl is left alone with a broken heart. Carl also seems like the subject of the narration due to the fact the narrator can go in and out of his internal thoughts. Everything is seen through his eyes, “Carl forced himself to say, although he couldn’t...

...Magic realist elements in ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’ by G.G. Marquez. Paradoxically enough, a reception of a book starts even before it is taken to reader’s hands and opened. When one only hears the name of the author or the title of the novel, some associations appear almost automatically. These associations can later on influence the reader’s impressions or even – to some degree – the analysis of a chosen literary work. Thus, when the name of Marquez is evoked, the very first thing to come to one’s mind is probably ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ and – for some readers – the term of ‘magic realism’. Every other Marquez’s work must ‘take into an account’ such inevitable context. Then, the title also determines reader’s expectations. In the case of ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’ – the subject of this essay – all enormous tradition of love literature passes in the background, due to the novel’s title. To what degree these associations help in the understanding of Marquez’s famous book it is to be discovered. To begin with, obviously not all of the Colombian writer’s works have been created in the magic realist mode. In ‘In Evil Hour’ (1961) or ‘The General in His Labyrinth” (1989) there are hardly any magic realist elements. On the other hand, ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’ still functions as the main and most eminent example of magic realism in the world literature, and the one best recognised by an average reader, too. As to ‘Love in the Time of Cholera’, it seems...

...These black women raised white children and the children loved them and they loved them back, but yet were not allowed to use the toilets in their employer’s house. These are the moments of the black maids in 1963 in Jackson, Mississippi. These moments come when you see a black maid absurdly vacuuming a large stuffed bear or when one states: “Love and hate are two horns on the same goat.” Now that’s the spirit!” (The Help, 2011). Audiences know what to expect from movies from their Genres,” they tell their audience up front what to expect from the product they are buying. If they like a particular kind of story, chances are they will like this particular film, especially if the writer and director give the expectations a little twist” (Truby, 2010). Genre theory is used in the examination of films in order to enable the classification of films. Genres are dependent on many influences, such as story line, what the audience expects and who the director is. Genre theory is how we describe films; it is the method of shortening literary works. Plot and Story The feature-length film I chose was The Help (2013), which is an American Drama film depicting the lives of black maids and their white employers exposing the racism that the black maids faced on a daily basis. The time is 1963 set in Jackson, Mississippi during the civil rights movement. The film that follows the lives of two black maids and a southern society girl (Emma Stone), who returns home from college...

...“anyone lived in a little how town” ee cummings • non-conformity • form = function o Poe’s unity of effect o poem = unique, does not conform to any poetic standards, grammatical rules, expectations • songs: o Justice & Independence, Jack & Diane (JC Mellencamp) o The Dance, The River (Garth Brooks) E. E. Cummings' "anyone lived in a pretty how town" tells the story of anyone. The name has a double meaning; anyone could be anyone in the dictionary definition sense, and could be seen as a singular entity, reinforcing the theme of isolation the independent individual has from the rest of society. The events all occur in a "pretty how town". "Pretty" connotes a mere façade, describing the superficiality of the town's inhabitants. "How", an adverb, is used as an adjective here. It could be describing the extent of the town's prettiness, but a better reason is that it describes the routine humdrum of the town's activities, since "how" also means "in a method or manner". The juxtapositions continue into the next line, "(with up so floating many bells down)". The rhythm of the line and the vowels emulate both the motion and the sounds of bells. This line occurs again later in the poem, and its function here is the same as it is there - to signify the passing of time. The next line is an ordered list of the seasons, also symbolizing the passing of time, describing anyone's activities as occurring continuously. The activities...

...Literary Analysis #1 In the “Blood Burning Moon” by Jean Toomer, the author takes the reader back in time to the rural south-1 during a time of Jim Crow laws. In a small town, Tom Burwell and Bob Stone challenge each other for the affection of an African American woman named Louisa. Louisa has no last name, which signifies that she has not taken on a name of the “master” or she is just any Negro woman. After bob-1 and Tom discovered each other’s-1 lust for Louisa, a fight breaks out in which Bob’s throat get slashed. Bob, a white man, was able to stumble back to the white side of town to tell others. An extreme racist mob formed quickly to lynch Tom and burned him at the stake. Throughout the story, the author accentuates racism, love and passion, imagery and Tom’s getting lynched.—Thesis needs a clearer and more unified sense of purpose and theme. The moon symbolized the eyes of God as it is lowered to the earth. Clouds symbolized the presence of God. The blood red moon symbolized the host drenched in blood. In this story, the moon is raising toward a dark cloud. These represent God hiding his face from the evil.—If you are gong to make these analytical claims about symbolism, you need to show and back them up with specific and concrete quoted support from the story. In exploring(,)-1 the feelings of Bob and Tom toward Louisa, Toomer portrays a relationship of love and passion through racism. In order to show racial conflict, Toomer creates a romantic clash...
