The poem In Paris with You contrasts reality with the fantasy of love. The poem explores the consequences of love. For example how difficult it is to fall in love and trust somebody again after bad experiences. The narrator seems to reject all the “Traditional expectations” of love in search of reality and quick, easy affection. This poem takes the reader through the journey of trusting/ being part of a relationship again.

In fact, this quote makes me firmly believe that this book was written with hopes that its readers would be able to relate to at least some of the feelings and events mentioned in it. The Long Loneliness tracks most of Dorothy Day’s life, be it her days of childhood full of searching and desires, fear of the unknown, or her teenage years filled with the scent of first love and loneliness of separation. However, it was during her adulthood and parenting where I believe she began experiencing balance in her life. Dorothy set off on the journey to fulfill her dreams and believes, while still going through times of loneliness, emptiness, sorrow and pain. I believe the message she was trying to convey to the reader is that no matter how hard it might seem, we should not be isolating ourselves from humanity and the divinity of God.
In “The Storm”, Chopin expresses her opinion and idea to speak for marriage women’s sexual desire in the late1800’s. Back to the story, sexuality is not only fulfills Calixta’s sexual desire and also gives her joy and satisfaction. To be more specific, this story focused on the storm, love, sex, and marriage. At that period of time, Chopin conveys to the readers that women don’t have much opportunities and powers to speak for themselves. The author illustrates to all the women how lonely and dependently women have in the family.
Her “journals,” in other words her autobiographical narratives such as Killing Chickens, “Shunned” and “Without a map” all reveal specific different bitter portions of her life that she has faced and overcame and reassures readers like me, that we can too. Ha Hall writes about overcoming many daunting situations, the earliest hardship that she writes about encountering is getting pregnant at sixteen. In “Shunned” Hall shares her experience of receiving rejection from everywhere she turned including school, church and even family when she accidentally got pregnant. A reader can see how unfairly she was punished how nobody should be treated that way. Hall uses emotional appeal to show how much it hurt her for example.

World Literature II: Shakespeare to Today Literary Analysis (Final) Andrew Marvell's poem 'To His Coy Mistress' Night-Piece,To Julia, Robert Herrick Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women The role of women in literature ranges over the years from being the muse, to being the recipient of affection, to taking a stand against sexist men. It is not very different from the roles of women in the world today. In the television show “Castle” we see a writer who follows and bases a character on a NYPD Detective, Kate Beckett. She is his muse, just as Andrew Marvell write to his muse in “To His Coy Mistress”. We see affection being doled out to Mary Jane from Peter Parker in any Spiderman comic or movie just as Robert Herrick does in his “Night-Piece, To Julia”.
