Comparison Of The Characters In "A Doll's House" And "The Stranger"
.... dramas, and other forms of literature. In certain characters it is
evident in the novel The Stranger and the play A Doll's House . In some
instances it is quite easy to notice but other times it may be difficult to
identify the changes in character's masks as the changes slowly develop
throughout the plot.
A form of mask wearing was found at the beginning of the novel The
Stranger, where Meursault goes to the beach to go swimming and meets Marie
Cardona. She was lying on a float when Meursault was swimming towards it. "She
turned toward [him]. Her hair was in her eyes and she was laughing."(20) Later
on when both Meursa .....

The Meaning Of Suffering In Job And The Aeneid
.... for the same cause. This fact alone makes Job's misfortune
more taxing.
Their mental anguish is not limited to matters of this world. Each man
is faced with dillemas concerning their spiritual beliefs. Though he begs and
calls to God for an explanation, Job receives nothing. This causes alone causes
more mental anguish than anything else that happens in either work. Job's
family is exterminated, he is pile of fermenting flesh, and he has no sign from
God as to why this is happening. Job does not even get omens or other
supernatural signals to assure him of God existence. Aeneas, though, receives
security not o .....

Contrasting Poets Lawrence And Shapiro In Their Views Of Nature
.... troubles put on twentieth century poetry. The poets
wrote of science fiction, anti-war protagonists, and ridicule of authority.
Leading poets in the twentieth century are D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Joseph
Conrad, Dylan Thomas, and H.G. Wells.
D.H. Lawrence views on nature are more humanistic, rather than natural.
He loves individuality and "inner self" (Magill, 1686). His writing were pure
because of his adolescent puritan environment (Becker, 5). D.H. Lawrence,
although in the twentieth century, is a die-hard romantic (Albright, 1). To
Lawrence, nature was an item of beauty and creativity. He respects nature. In
Lawrence's po .....

George Bernard Shaw And His Short Story About The Cremation Of The Narrator's Mother
.... fascinated, he
begins to wonder exactly what happens when one is cremated. This mood of awe is
dramatized as he encounters several doors to observe in his chronological
investigation. He sees “a door opened in the wall,” and follows the coffin as
it “passed out through it and vanished as it closed,” but this is not “the door
of the furnace.” He finds the coffin “opposite another door, a real
unmistakable furnace door,” but as the coffin became engulfed in flame, ”the
door fell” and the mystery only continues an hour later as he gazes “through an
opening in the floor.” As he observes two “cooks” picking through “Mama's

Critical Summary Of Cultural Effects On Eating Attitudes In Israeli Subpopulations And Hospitalized Anorectics
.... increased
substantially. People believe that this increase in eating disorders is due to
the fashion industry. The fashionable female figure of today has become thinner
and more tubular (Szmulker, McCance, McCrone, & Hunter, 1986).
In the world today, Apter believes that thinness is more and more a
symbol of the feminine ideal. He finds that the Western role of a woman is now
beginning to include success in the work force, sexually attractive as well as
the traditional roles as nurturant wives and mothers. Apter hypothesizes that
this added stress of Western ideology combined with the non-Western ethnic
origin of thes .....

Cry Wolf
.... to control nature, it is crucial to discern how much human
interference is necessary. Human control must be tempered by respect and
restraint. Programs designed for the protection and restoration of wildlife must
reflect deference for the natural order rather than dominance over it.
The consequences of human actions involving the elimination of the gray wolf
have been especially acute in Yellowstone National Park, where the lack of a
natural predator has resulted in the overpopulation of bison, deer, and elk.
According to Sharon Begley of Newsweek magazine, "Absent a natural predator,
thousands of the ungulates have starved .....

owned the fields. The question of the ownership of seven acres of strawberry
fields serves as the apparent motive for the murder of Carl Heine. To a local
Japanese fisherman, Kabuo (accused of murdering Carl Heine), the ownership of
this land promises a secure future and ultimately independence. “...she knew
that Kabuo wanted a strawberry field.. nothing more than that” (Snow Falling 89).
“His dream...was close to him now, his strawberry land, his happiness” (Snow
Falling 456). The strawberry fields connected Kabuo to his past and symbolized
a continuity of life. “My father planted the fathers o .....

Similarities And Variations In The Writings Of Dickinson And Lawrence
.... in his poem, whereas Dickinson's structure is more of a conventional
structure. Lawrence has no set number of lines per line or stanza. Dickinson, on
the other hand, has four lines per stanza and although no set number of words in
a line, the meter is repeated throughout the poem. Once again, we see two
diverse styles from the two authors.
When we examine rhyme patterns of the two poems, we begin to see
similarities between the two authors. both authors seem to ignore a strict rhyme
pattern. Lawrence appears to have absolutely no rhyme pattern what so ever which
once again reflects his free verse style. Dickinson as well .....

Disjunction Vs. Communion In Raymond Carver's Short Stories
.... in his stories.
It is within this scope of communion that Carver's stories seem to become more
fulfilling with character affirmation.
Communion occurs in Carver's stories when several conditions are
satisfied. The difference in the two criteria; communion and disjunction, is
simply defined. "Communion, n 1. A sharing of thoughts or feelings 2. a A
religious or spiritual fellowship." (Websters, 141) It is a connection
between characters which allows them to transcend the ordinary and redefine
themselves. A moment in which words, actions, and objects take on exaggerated
significance . Carver uses this bond between .....

up, straight ahead of her, as though it were a rose on a long stem." (Roth 3)
He sees her only as a beautiful woman and allows that to get in the way of
actually realizing the true reasons for her actions. Brenda on the other hand
is using him to be her "slave." This is seen with all her actions that show
that she honestly does not care about his feelings, his wants or desires. "‘
We'll be right back,' Brenda said to me. ‘You have to sit with Julie.
Carlota's off.'"(Roth 13) She finds Neil very accommodating in fulfilling her
needs. Neil is constantly being thrown into predicaments for the first time,
such as Bre .....

"Down And Out Paris And London"
.... admit a hundred tramps in one night, and these are
handled by a staff of at most three porters. A hundred ruffians could not be
controlled by three unarmed men. Indeed, when one sees how ramps let themselves
be bullied by the work house officials, it is obvious that they are the most
docile, broken-spirited creatures imaginable. "(p. 204)
About the term "drunkard" Orwell disagrees also saying:
"Or take the idea that all tramps are drunkards -- an idea ridiculous on the
face of it. No doubt many tramps would drink if they got the chance, but in the
nature of things they cannot get the chance. At this moment a pale watery stuf .....

Hawthorne's "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment": Reality Or Illusion

"The crushed and dried petals stirred, and assumed a deepening tinge of crimson,
as if the flower were reviving from a death-like slumber;"(page 3) It is that
clear cut, and completely undeniable considering that five people witnessed the
act and not one had the slightest objection.
After the first drink of the potion until the last, I was still led to
the opinion that what the guests were experiencing was in fact real and
completely genuine. At this point I will point out that it is at this exact
moment where the issue of reality versus illusion begins to take shape.
However, while we left .....
