...Analysis of Two Short Stories Laura Cutler Ashford University Introduction to Literature ENG125 Instructor Rivera March 2, 2015 Analysis of Two Short Stories A literary analysis is important to assist a reader in knowing how or why an author writes a particular piece of literature, whether it is a poem, short story, novel , play, informational piece, etc. and then have the ability to relate to it as an individual. In the short stories 'Sweat' and 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been' the characters are from different walks of life, they both encounter conflict of: individual versus self, individual versus individual and individual versus society; many literary devices create theses stories that include the author's point of view, the conflicts that arise throughout and the resolution that takes place in the endpoint of view, the conflicts that arise throughout and the resolution that takes place in the end. The theme to any piece of literature is the basis for the whole story, in 'Sweat' and 'Where are Going, Where Have You Been' the story is centered primarily on one individual and what they each go through to survive an abusive/violent situation. The theme involves the survival of an individual through: external and external factors, that include the influence of society and the issue of class; sexuality of a women and men and the men's masculinity; suffering and the struggles that deal with violence, both physical and mental; family and religion....

...of the Real World as Seen in Oates’ “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” Researchers have said for years that reading is good for you. It encourages the thought process and can relays methods of working through situations one has never encountered before; that reading is the difference between a smart well-prepared child and one set in stone for failure. This resonance is similar to that of Gretchen Schulz’s and R.J.R. Rockwood’s belief asserted in “In Fairyland, Without a Map: Connie’s Exploration Inward in Joyce Carol Oates’ ‘Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?’” that, “The society depicted in ‘Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?’ has failed to make available to children like Connie maps of the unconscious such as fairy tales provide, because it has failed to recognize that in the unconscious, past and future coalesce, and that, psychologically, where the child is going is where he or she has already been” (1453). The point Schulz and Rockwood are making is that Connie’s generation and many following it, are neglecting to read fairy tales as bedtime stories and are consequently inhibiting the child’s ability to experience and work through problems he will encounter in adolescence. Whether we are aware of it or not, these stories have lessons that engrain themselves deeper than that on the superficial layer of a hero will save the day. For my short story analysis I will exemplify Oates’ fairy tale references...

During this time, Mike has been involved in many engagements which required analysis, recommendations, implementation including mail, copy and print-shop redesign, build outs, consolidations and metrics tracking of implemented outsourced client operations. In charting our course for the development of our Professional Paper; “Trends in University Outsourcing”, we found the dramatic changes and pressures that exist today in education require significant resources and greater core focus to achieve University overall objectives. The dynamics of the education system have changed significantly and there are far greater challenges that are no longer just national but global in scope. Extrapolated from A Report of the Commission Appointed by Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, Pre-Publication Copy September 2006, titled; A test of leadership charting the future of US higher education, provided the following insights on some of the challenges which require the consumption of significant resources and consequently a need to focus on your core business: 1) Where once the United States led the world in educational attainment, recent data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development indicate that our nation is now ranked 12th among major industrialized countries in higher...

...Use cases are a type of textual requirements specification that capture how a user will interact with a solution to achieve a specific goal. They describe the step by step process a user goes through to complete that goal using a software system (Brandenburg, 2015). The analysis of the use case proves to be a valued analytical technique to ensure the delivery of goods and services. As a software developer for a retail bank, I have been tasked with developing use cases to support the ATM services. Of the created use cases, I will describe and illustrate a use case with a typical and alternate course that documents the event of a bank customer withdrawing money from an ATM; describe and illustrate a use case dependency for making an account deposit; describe and illustrate a use case dependency for making an account transfer; identify and explain at least one (1) ethical issue that the use case exposes in connection with the development or use of the ATM system. We can begin with describing the typical and alternative courses of events that are prevalent when bank customers make a money withdrawal from the ATM. Description of a Cash Withdrawal The description of typical and alternative courses as it pertains to bank customers withdrawing money from the ATM begins with the customer pulling out their debit card to enter the card into the ATM card reader. The card will not be inserted and ejected at the end of the transaction, but it will be pushed into the reader and pulled...

...Burning Down the House: A Case Study in Forensic Instrumental Analysis by Adam M. Boyd and Randolph K. Larsen III Chemistry and Biochemistry St. Mary’s College of Maryland As Dr. Marie Stanforth steered her cumbersome suv into an unoccupied space at the scene of the latest fire in upstate Michigan, she instantly recognized the address. It was the current residence of her ex-husband. Yet, with the same calm and collected demeanor with which she approached every crime scene she ever visited, Dr. Stanforth confidently opened the door of her car and walked purposefully towards the extinguished blaze. Her boots crunched through a thin layer of snow as she trudged toward the scene. The record cold—the coldest morning to date that winter—gave rise to a light snow slowly blanketing the entire state for the first time that year. Marie marveled at how snow seemed to cover everything in a forgiving white veil. “Poor jerk,” she thought to herself as she approached the smoldering blaze with her hands tucked in the pockets of her heaviest parka. “I wonder where he’s going to live now.” Before she reached the scene, however, she was met by her partner, Adley. “So what happened?” she dryly asked Adley as she tried to maneuver closer to the extinguished blaze. “There was a fire,” Adley recounted. “There was a real bad fire.” “Thanks for the update, partner,” Marie laughed as she put her hand on Adley’s shoulder. “Let’s have a look,” she added as she tried to push her way past Adley’s outstretched...

...Fantasy Versus Reality Fiction Analysis Oates Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?: Truth Blinded by Fantasy It's not uncommon to catch ourselves snapping out of a daydream only to realize how extent our Imagination was. Not only do we fantasize what isn't possible, but also what we want to believe disregarding how close it is to reality. Joyce Carol Oates, the author of a short story, "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" uses Connie's character to successfully portray the conflict between fantasy versus reality. Connie, who views the idea of maturity as being experienced with men and exceedingly independent, tries bit too hard to follow those approaches to appear sexually attractive. However, Connie's flirting comes to an end as Arnold's unexpected visit to her house escalates into a horrific incident of kidnapping. This experience forces Connie to confront the reality, ultimately having her fantasy world crumbled. As mentioned previously, the biggest fantasy of Connie's is her perception of maturity. Oates describes Connie as an attractive fifteen year old girl who had a "habit of craning her neck to glance into mirrors, or checking other people's faces to make sure her own was all right" (323). Clearly, Connie's major concern consists of finding her sex appeal and having her looks approved by older boys. Without having any proper preparation, Connie throws herself into the merciless world of adulthood. "Someone leaned out a...

...Feather girls - analysis and interpretation The short story 'feather girls' by Claire Massey, from 2010 is a very imaginary and well written story, which leaves you behind with the sensation of unknowing. I believe the text has a very deep meaning to it, which I will try to find. In the short story we meet a man called Bill. We can see from the text, that Bill is old "A collection of regulars cluttered the bar, all grey haired men similar age to him". Bill has a wife, who he does not see very often, as she has "flown off" by herself, as their children were grown. In the village, where the story unfolds it is common to give your wife a feather coat from feather girls, but Bill has fallen in love with a feather girl. The feather girl's name is unknown, but Bill and her have been seeing each other for a long time "All these years of going to meet her and yet still, every time, he felt like a lad. They have been doing the same thing over and over again, meeting each other at a local pub called the Hare and Anchor, eating vinegar crisps with salt "packet of salt and vinegar crisps. Here at the pub we are introduced to the landlady of the pub, Mary. Mary is the most interesting character in my opinion, because her curiosity about the couple is intriguing. Mary is described as stingy "Mary was stingy with the coal, still too early in the year for a fire whatever the chill in the air said". Mary is living in the past, and never throws anything away "Collections of one kind...

...Well-Lighted Place By Ernest Hemingway Does one's purpose in life diminish after there is nothing left in life to look forward to? Ernest Hemingway's short story "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" addresses this question through the character of the older waiter, a man pondering the meaning of life. The older waiter observes the old man and comes to the conclusion that without a motivation to live, one wanders in a world of nothingness. I am going to discuss the analysis of the major characters in the story “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place.” First of all, there are three main characters: The older waiter, the younger waiter, and the old man. I believe Hemingway is attempting to make the characters show different ideas in which he conveys different personalities in the characters. Furthermore each character represents the ideas that Hemingway had about the youth, mid-age, and the old. The first main character in the short story is the young waiter; seems like a cocky and uncaring man he cheerfully admits that he isn’t lonely and is anxious to return home where his wife is. He doesn’t care that the people in the café use it as a refuge for those who feel alone. The young waiter is rude to the old man because he wants to close the café early. He doesn’t seem to realize that he won’t be young forever. In addition to the story the young waiter represents the youth that is at conflict with the older generations. The young waiter concern is getting out of work and getting home to see his family...

...February 1, 2016 C Lit 251: Food in Comics Mid-Term Scene Analysis Mid-Term Scene Analysis The scene that I am going to analyze is the one of page 28 of Oishinbo a la carte: Japanese Cuisine, where Yuzan reacts to hearing his son and rival, Shiro, is responsible for the remarkable dish of Dashi. When initially glancing at this page and its pictures, the reader is able to make a prediction about what the scene might be about. The first thing I saw was the scowling face of Yuzan and the powerful streaks coming from behind his head. This panel is placed almost exactly in the middle of the page and takes up quite a bit of space. I think the reason for this is because it’s important to express to the reader how angry, mean and shocked Yuzan is when he finds out his son cooked the Dashi dish. The top tier consists of two panels, one rounded edge word balloon and two jagged edged word balloons. Since we are reading, not hearing, the conversation, it is a little hard to understand how things are being stated (i.e. tone, pitch, or loudness). I believe the artist makes up for this through the characteristics of word balloons. Simply based on what is said in each word balloon, I have come to the conclusion that if the word balloon has a jagged edge, then it represents a more powerful, angry or important description. If the word balloon has a smooth or rounded edge to it, then the voice is most likely softer, less important or a conversation happening in the background of the scene....
