... of Amanda and Laura. He realizes that the world is not what Amanda has made it seem inside the house.

This shows that no matter how hard Tom tries to escape he will always be 'bounded' to the apartment.

PORONO IN THE MEDIA
Number of Words: 2703 / Number of Pages: 10
... by these images of pornography and the result is
increased violence against women. This assumption, and it is indeed
only an assumption, is completely fallacious, however, as no concrete
and completely conclusive evidence has ever been formulated in
support of the theory. The key premise here is that the mass media
does not cause undesirable social behaviour and in actuality, the
media people should not be dubbed as the “bad guys”. They simply use
their power in the most constructive ways possible in order to promote
their ratings and popularity. One way to do that is to ...

African American Usage Of Magi
Number of Words: 1652 / Number of Pages: 7
... Through the use of magical realism, these writers are easily able to convince the dubious reader of the existence of ghosts and the power and widespread practice of Voodism. And because the believability of a magical realism work depends on the reality of the world the writer creates, this genre allows African American writers to explore and portray the history of their people while exposing some unique African traditions and beliefs. Through an analysis of Toni Morrison's Beloved, Gloria Naylor's Mama Day, and Kasi Lemmons' motion picture Eve's Bayou, one can see how this genre is used to explor ...

... of the society in which the tales were written. Through the examination of tales, their inherent messages surface. Children’s perceptions of fairytales can go a long way towards shaping social interactions among said children. Passivity is a major player in the personalities of Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. Rapunzel relies completely on a determined prince to escape her imprisonment; Cinderella uses a fairy godmother to help her cause and Sleeping Beauty waits until Prince Charming wakes her. Children could see these characterizations of women and begin to intertwine them with their o ...

Hamlet 3
Number of Words: 244 / Number of Pages: 1
... believe that the most important issues in the play are the "psychological issues" involved. How do two relatively unimportant characters in Shakespeare's play interpret what is going on around them? What is the audience's response? What role do the Players hold in each of the two works?
As an authority on Shakespearean works, I would consider Stoppard's play to be very enriching in both the interpretation of Hamlet as well as the consideration of what role Hamlet plays in modern society. Aside from that, the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead" addresses issues of isolation, sanity, dep ...

Although Short, John Updike's "A & P" Is Big On Enjoyment
Number of Words: 496 / Number of Pages: 2
... that the main character was a younger fellow. His comments and
actions sounded more immature than mature, so I was able to relate more closely
to the work. I found that there were many thought processes that are similar to
an adolescent boys, rather than to a more experienced adult. A good example of
this can be seen toward the end of paragraph 2 when he gives his interpretation
of what happens in a girls mind. He makes a simile to a bee buzzing in a glass
jar. A mature person would never make a statement that is so thoughtless. I
enjoyed it very much.
I'm able to make a few emotional c ...

Macbeth, Act 4 Scene 2 Importa
Number of Words: 336 / Number of Pages: 2
... to kill Macbeth. This is how the fate of Macbeth is written and how Macbeth kind of wrote his own death warrant by doing a point less evil act of greed and lust of power. Macbeths power went so high into his head, which he couldn't keep control of it and finally ended with his life.
This scene is the one where the fate of Macbeth's life is written. Also shows how paranoid and insane he is becoming, which is somewhat something that takes some blame off Macbeth's back. The witches have most of the faults because Macbeth was a normal and week-minded guy who never thought of murder. But the g ...
