Nabeal Ummi Cultural Studies 23 October 2012 Difference “A Special Third World Women Issue” The article by Trinh T. Minh-Ha is written about women rights in different way. In my opinion, her explanation represents more complication in race, identity and gender issues if we take them in her way, but also bring sense somehow. In the article, she made a puzzle with different issues and without conclusion which are not connected with each other, but at last it represents a construction of new idea. Here, even she is the writer but she doesn’t narrate herself, she takes completely different sides of different debated issues to demonstrate her new idea. In her introduction she starts with the issue of women identification.
A streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams is unconventional play for that time. Williams uses unconventional techniques and uses truth as a destructive force. Lots of the characters in this play use truth as a way to survive in the world. They use fantasy as way to survive. Blanche, Stanley and Stella all react to truth differently within the play.
She took tragidies in her life, and turned them into great literary peices of work. As the same with Shirly Jackson. She expiernced hear break at a young age. Thats why many of her literary works were often dark and moody. She often exprienced "periods of unhappiness and questioning the loyalty of her friends" witch became her motivation to really begin writing.
Amplifying this concept further the boundaries of communication created through this technique allow for criticism of the trustworthiness and reliability of the accounts presented by the Governess’. Ultimately, the anecdotes compiled within the novel are all introduced to us by the Governess, meaning that the perspective shown to us is entirely bias and bases wholly upon her retrospect. This means the inevitable distortion of details collected by the governess. Punctuation has also been used within the novel, especially within the narrative voice of the governess as means to also portray the motif of communication to an even larger extent. The use f punctuation has been manipulated I such a way to highlight the ever present divisions within society that existed during the Victorian era.
The story is told through Emma's perspective as she takes on the role of omniscient narrator and guides the reader by her occasional intrusive statements and authorial comments and her self-deception generates amusement and sympathy rather than laughter. From the beginning she establishes an analytical slightly moralizing tone, “The real evils indeed on Emma’s situation were the power of having rather too much of her own way, and a disposition to think to well of herself.” The Opening
“A sad sympathy filled her eyes. Sharada lowered her knife”. Her personality appears to take a radical turn, though it is not documented through a conversation. Due to the fact that the authentic character of Sharada is exposed mainly through her psychological and inner expansion, leaving the audience to fill in several facets of the story in its maturation, this story can not only be placed under the Poe genre of short stories but it can also be set in the category of the “ideal short story” stories within the Poe
Diana Nicholas Mrs. Psathas Honors Analytical Writing 24 March 2014 Particular short stories portray characters with obvious traits, opinions, and lifestyles; however, others contain complex structures that appear to have more than one personality within one single character. Some dual personalities possess opposite traits which lead the character into an unhealthy lifestyle, generally failing to coexist in a way that contributes to a healthy lifestyle. In the short story, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” Joyce Carol Oates uses two conflicting personalities for the protagonist, Connie, and presumably results fatally. Oates’ delineation of Connie as a complex character with conflicting personalities of a “cool” girl versus a “good” girl enhances her desire for attention leading her to her ultimate demise. As a youthful teenager, Connie resents the restraints that her parents demand, and resorts to extreme measures to exaggerate a more sophisticated, mature self.
Our Town Review Our Town by Thorton Wilder focuses mainly on the major points in a person’s life and other things that humans are faced with. Life, love, marriage, death, and eternity are the major themes in Thorton’s play and things that are focused on through the characters’ actions and even through their words. The play is also performed with minimal props, allowing the characters more freedom to move and interact with the characters that are around them. Thorton also thought that the theatre of his time “had something wrong…he began to feel that the theatre was not only inadequate, it was evasive.” This shows in the way his play has no or minimal props throughout the play also puts the focus on the actors and the themes being presented throughout the play, instead of what the actors are doing with the objects that are put in front of them. A few of the major themes deal with everyday
Appearance Vs. Reality At any given stage in a human’s life; one must lie, deceive, or simply hide emotions to further themselves toward a goal or protect an individual’s interests. Hamlet, a tragedy by William Shakespeare is by no means different, except for the fact that every lie and underlying truth is multiplied in severity tenfold. Virtually every central character in the play is guilty of this act on one or more occasions. This is simple to see at times, however the audience is often found questioning to themselves if aspects of the play are in fact truth in Hamlet’s universe or if they just appear that way.
In the beginning of the story, Edilyn mentions that her “heart’s heart is invisible, and unapproachably hidden” (Wallace 175), underscoring the extent of her suppressed identity. In “My Appearance”, Wallace effectively juxtaposes true identity and external appearance through a treatment of society’s ironic expectations of individuals. Throughout the story, Edilyn’s primary grouse is that her true identity remains an enigma to the outside world, one that she would like to reveal by behaving more like herself. However, other characters are in disagreement with her. Ron, her friend, asserts that, “The joke is now on people who’re sincere” (Wallace 182).
