Ignorance And Racism In 'I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings'
A motif is a recurring idea or symbol that develops over the course of a story or novel. The book I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
has three prominent motifs which are represented throughout the book. Ignorance and illiteracy, self–esteem, and racism are all present motifs in Maya
Angelou's autobiographical novel. Ignorance and illiteracy are displayed by Momma and Maya, respectively. Momma displays ignorance when she
does not understand the new slang of the times and Maya show illiteracy when she gets pregnant by accident. Maya struggles with being a Negro girl

Later, when Maya moves to San Francisco, she lives with a group of homeless kids for a month. She discovers that people of white, black, and Latino
descent can all live together in harmony and segregation is unnecessary. This elevates her self–esteem and makes her realize that the world is not just
black and white. Maya struggles with her self–esteem throughout the novel, thus making self–esteem a prominent motif in I Know Why the Caged
Bird Sings.
Lastly, racism is a motif shown throughout the novel. When Maya is living in Stamps, Arkansas, Momma takes her to the only dentist in town
because she has a horrible tooth ache. The dentist refuses to treat Maya because she's black, "Annie, my policy is I'd rather stick my hand in a
dog's mouth than a nigger's" (189). Maya also experiences racism when she lives in San Francisco. She dreams of becoming the first black woman to
work on a trolley and when she tries to apply the clerk turns her away. She persists and eventually the white clerk allows her the job. Racism is
everywhere in Maya's life, making it a large motif displayed throughout the novel.
In conclusion, ignorance and illiteracy, self–esteem, and racism are prominent motifs in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Ignorance is displayed by
both Momma and Maya. Momma shows ignorance when she demonstrates that she doesn't keep up with modern slang. Maya demonstrates illiteracy
when she gets pregnant without knowing how or why. Self–esteem is also a motif shown

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath Essay
What is in the spring of your life if the spring of a life refers to your first twenty years in your life? The Bell Jar, a semi–autobiographical novel by
Silvia Plath, describes Esther Greenwood's harsh spring of her life. Narrating in the first person, Esther tells her experience of a mental breakdown in
a descriptive language, helping the readers visualize what she sees and feel her emotions. The novel takes place in New York City and Boston during
the early 1950s when women's roles were limited to domesticity. The repression of women's roles in the American society during the 1950s and other
influences such as her lack of confidence, her hesitance, her mother, and her feminist point of view seem to affect her mental breakdown. Like most...

Therefore, she hesitates to choose one dream. She compares a life to a fig tree, and the figs on the fig tree symbolize ambition, dreams or goals.
Her figs are a happy home with a husband and children, a famous poet, a brilliant professor, an amazing editor and so on. Although having lots of
goals, she believes that "choosing one [means] losing all the rest" (77). Therefore, she is "starving to death," seeing the figs wither, "go black", and
"[plop] to the ground at my feet" (77). Using metaphors in a descriptive language, Plath makes the reader visualize a young woman under a fig tree
with full of figs, hesitating to pick the figs. The dreams got rotten and drop to her feet. This visualization terrifies the nineteen–year old girl, who should
be hopeful for her future, because she should decide on one before they all drop. Her fear becomes more severe while she performs her last work
as an intern in New York City, which is to be photographed with a symbol of her career goal. She tries to hide herself not to be photographed

Comparison Of Depression In The Big Sur By Jack Kerouac
Depression affects 350 million people and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Everyone deals with depression a different way but it is not
easy, the best way is to see a professional and talk about it to try to let it all out, but most people come up with their own way. Depressed modern poets
such as Jack Kerouac and Sylvia Plath tried to shock themselves into reality and heal their depression and feelings about certain subjects with alcohol
and electroconvulsive therapy but could not. They both decided to chose the outlet of poetry and release their negative feelings by writing about
similar themes. This becomes evident when one draws similarities between themes such as isolation, nature and love proven by examining The Big Sur
by Jack Kerouac and many poetic works from Sylvia Plath. Being a popular poet can do alot to one, and if ones fans only care about their work and
not their true feelings the artist tends to feel isolated.
When one is depressed he/she tends to isolate themselves. Kerouac and Plath both do this when they are writing. In many of Plath's poems she writes
about her loneliness, and in some she even tells God. Plath is so depressed that she associate's life with loneliness, which proves that Plath feels she
is isolated "God, but life is loneliness" (Under the Night Starry Sky, Plath). Plath feels empty, she feels useless, she is tired and just wants to relax,
this proves that Plath is giving up and she is so upset with her life that she does

The Book Thief Point Of View Analysis
Markus Zusak has been subject to heavy criticism for his choice of writing style in his historical fiction novel, The Book Thief. In the novel, he
made the decision to have Death, who is identified and acknowledged as a person, narrate the entirety of the novel and tell it from his point of view.
Despite the normal perspectives or typical stereotypes associated with the concept of death, Death is not a bad guy or someone to be afraid of in this
novel. Death is simply just another normal or average human being. Zusak chooses Death as the narrator not only to provide Liesel Meminger's, the
protagonist of the novel, point of view of what is going on around her during World War II, but also to furnish valuable information to the readers that

Yes, the novel could have been told from the perspective of a third–person narrator or character; however, with the novel being told by Death, Zusak is
capable of providing a distinct point of view on all of the deaths that are occurring in this horrendous period of time. It is important to understand
that although Death provides a broader scope of World War II, he is not omniscient. This solely means that he is not aware of everything that is
happening in the world. He obtains his knowledge and information as any other person would, which is through personal experiences and reading or
hearing about it from other sources. Clearly in this novel, Death is sharing what he has read. His main source for narrating the novel is The Book
Thief, which is the autobiographical book that Liesel writes about her life. Nevertheless, in order for Liesel's story to be comprehendible and make
sense, Death has to inform the readers about the other occurrences in Germany, Russia, and Poland that Liesel has no awareness of during the time she

Narcissistic Trope In The Armies
The narrative world of The Armies provides readers with multiple and diverse meanings to the incident of the anti–war March towards the Pentagon.
Multiplicity emerges out of the various perspectives of the same story told by the reporter of The Time and retold by Mailer, the narrator. In the
process of the Time reporter's telling and the narrator's retelling of the scenes of the March, readers become aware of their involvement in the process
of creating the fictional universe of the text. The Reporter of The Time and Mailer, the narrator, alternatively exchange roles as a reporter/narrator and
as a reader of the same story. However, in the linguistic mode, The Armies constitutes itself as a quintessential narcissistic text with its "building
blocks," that is, "the very language whose referents serve to construct that imaginative world" (Narcissistic Narrative 29). On the linguistic sphere,
Mailer, in The Armies, skillfully reconciles the generic opposites by deliberately giving the subtitle of his work: 'history as a... Show more content on

ABSTRACT
Buchi Emecheta is one of the growing numbers of African women writers who have set their authorial eyes on the conditions of women living both
on their home continent and abroad. She takes her place among Tsitsi Dangarembga, Miriama Ba, Bessie Head, Ama Ata Aidoo, Lauretta Ngcobo,
and Lindsey Collen, to name a few, as writers who have formed an intense new voice of African womanhood. Emecheta has published more than
twenty works; including the novels Double Yoke, The Bride Price, Head above Water, Destination Biafra, and Kehinde. Each is an exploration of what
it means to be a woman and a mother in rapidly evolving societies where traditions and mores are in a constant state of flux. While some of her novels
mirror her own experience as an expatriate living in London, her work mostly focuses on her native country of Nigeria. The Joys of Motherhood is
among her most pivotal works, as it offers critical commentary on colonialism, tradition, capitalism, and women's roles as they come to affect one
woman, Nnu Ego, and her family

Jack London's The Iron Heel (1907) has been called "a small folk Bible of scientific socialism." Its historical relevance has been found to lie mostly
in the introduction it provides to revolutionary thought and in its scientific predictions, rather than in its literary form. Even Trotsky, a not unsubtle
literary critic, pointed out the exactness of London's predictions and defined the form of the fiction as nothing but a frame for its social analyses.
Form would appear to be a kind of irrelevant "superstructure," an ornament and aid for uneducated readers. "The Iron Heel" is usually described as an
early example of dystopian fiction. The book predicts a future in which the American working class has soundly defeated capitalism. For some modern

But, the thin people could survive, "the thin people do not obliterate themselves as the dawn, grayness blues, reddens". Moreover, they could

Esther Greenwood's initial response is to withdraw – she tries to protect herself by severing her emotional connection both to the outside world and
also, increasingly, herself. In various places Plath is describing scenes which would normally be repulsive and gruesome – the language used, however,
is clinical and cold and gives the reader the impression that the narrator is failing to respond emotionally to what she is observing. In describing
medical specimens of preserved foetuses Greenwood says that "The baby in the first bottle had a large white head bent over a tiny curled–up body the
size of a frog." There is no comment made on this or similar descriptions that follow until the next paragraph when she confides that "I was quite
proud of the calm way I stared at all these gruesome things". This response is almost childish and flippant in tone and does not rest easy with the
horrible sites that she was seeing (and Plath implicitly admits this with the worlds "gruesome things") – nevertheless the tone of the comment
emphasises the block that she is placing between herself and disturbing scenes. The very structure of the writing emphasises this – the position of the
comment at the start of the next paragraph creates a break in the flow of the writing and emphasises Plath's disjointed emotional state. Other episodes
reiterate this. When Greenwood first sees Buddy Willard naked we would expect her to have either a passionate response

up something completely original. Other times, they may add something, a name of a lover or a place where they grew up, for sentimental reasons, to
show affection for whatever it may be. No matter how they may do it, it seems to be more common than one would think.

similar, but not as fatal. Instead of writing about losing life, Fitzgerald wrote about losing love. Fitzgerald and his wife were known as a
extravagant couple of the 1920's. His wife, Zelda Fitzgerald was a clever, fiery young girl who captured Fitzgerald's heart. Captured it so, she appeared
in most of his novels, as a character similar to that of her personality, understood clearly because of her history, "The youngest of six children, her
parents raised Zelda as a free–spirited, imaginative and thoroughly spoiled little girl. By the age of eighteen, when she met F. Scott Fitzgerald at one of
the many parties she attended, she embodied the quintessential southern belle." (Willet). With characters such as Daisy from The Great Gatsby and
Rosalind from This Side of Paradise, Fitzgerald never forgot to include his affection for his wife in his novels, even though both the girls don't end up

The True History Of The Kelly Gang
Peter Carey's novel The True History of the Kelly Gang is a pleasant adaptation of Ned Kelly's narrative that imaginatively illustrates crucial events and
interactions that transpired afore and during Ned's time in the Kelly gang. This autobiographical (though fictional) type novel can be argued to give an
authentic voice to Ned Kelly's story. In saying this, Carey's novel is chiefly based on Ned's own narrative voice in the Jerilderie Letter. By analysing a
passage located between pages 374–375, where two key characters of the novel (Ned Kelly and Joe Byrne) discuss a letter that Ned Kelly had sent off
to Mr Cameron (which was never published; thus causing the composition of the Jerilderie Letter) this essay aims to discover how this passage relates
to key elements of the novel. This will be done by an analysis of Carey's use of vernacular style language, censorship of language and ungrammatical
sentence structure. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

the mind of readers. While reading the text we the readers have to turn back the pages just to check is this text actually written in the middle of the
nineteenth century. The text is written in such an observant and careful way that the readers may say that Bronte is trying to move away from
vivaciousness of her earlier text. The word emancipation which means the process of being free from legal, social, or political restrictions that are said
to be liberation. Bronte shows the social and political emancipation of women in the novel, and how our protagonist Lucy, who shows herself different

Examples Of Character Identification By Cesar Chavez
Character Identification A lot was going on during the 1960's; there was the Gay Right Movement, the Civil or Equal Right Movement, the Feminist
and Counterculture Movement, the Anti–war Movement and so on. Writing in such a historical period the author will most likely relate to or identified
with at least one or more events, but the results in determining the central character identity can go in many different directions; it is a difficult subject
to perceive–everyone, of course, has their perspective. A character identity does not only characterize a person, but it also allows the reader to be
openly aware of the historical background applied in the story, especially when reading an autobiographical and nonfictional novel. The character ...

The Cesar Chavez historical movements do not identify him or appeared to affect him in any way. In fact, being a lighter Mexican boy was his ticket
into the American society. However, his family financial struggles did certainly affect him. During Christmas, his father "would make sure we all had
presents–not clothes, which we needed, but didn't want, but toys, which we wanted, but didn't need" (1028). As a child, he was also sent out to ask
their neighbors for a dime, and when he had turned eight years old, his father later had him get molested by many older men as an exchange for
money. "He would say: "Give me a thousand," and I knew this meant I should hop on his lap and then he would fondle me–intimately–and he'd give
me a penny, sometimes a nickel. At times when his friends–old gray men–came to our house, they would ask for "a thousand." And I would jump on
their laps too. And I would get a nickel after a nickel, going around the table" (1028). Socioeconomically, the character can identify himself as
someone who was oppressed by poverty. Having to get molested as an exchange for money and forced by his father–who is not a real fatherly figure,
could have caused him to feel rejected and demoralized as a human being; "I fled to the Mirror. I would stand before it, thinking: I have only Me!"
(1031). Knowing that his father failed as a parent and that his mother did not do anything about his narcissistic behavior, the feeling of lonesome
wrapped itself into his life. The character explains how he becomes obsessed with attention; "Yet I was beginning to feel, too, a remoteness toward
people––more and more a carving for attention which I could not reciprocate" (1030). Apparently, seeking attention excessively is not a character flaw
but rather a trauma caused by neglection. According to studies, the lack of communication during a person childhood can cause them to be obsessive

Rhetorism In Sons And Lovers
According to Paul de Man, every text presents a language problem that underlies and determines the interpretation of that text. This is a problem of
whether the text should be taken literally or figuratively (rhetority or figurality) and also because all poems/texts have multiplicity of meanings, value
and appeal. In order to resolve this language problem, there is the need to create a context which will help in the interpretation of the text. Thus, the
linguistic texture of the text involve, all the works of the author or writer in question, the genre of the text as well the biography of the writer can be
considered as a means of interpreting the text. In this deconstructive interpretation of D.H. Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers", a biographical context has
been created in an attempt to analyse the text by outlining and matching up incidents and/or events, and characters in the novel which are projections of
real life events and people in the life of the author himself. Indeed, there are so many things in "Sons and Lovers" that bear resemblances to ... Show

Analyzing Skim's 'Kitty' By Mariko Tamaki
Skim's internal monologue is diary–like, with an interesting use of scratched–out words. Despite the fact that Skim can be regarded as a work of
fiction, it comes across to the reader as autobiographical or a semi–autobiographical. The comic is in many ways a commentary on the personal life of
the author, Mariko Tamaki. The comic talks about and narrates the story of a Skim, a Japanese– Canadian school girl who comes across as being self
– righteous and aloof. The diary format that Tamaki has employed in Skim proves to be instrumental in getting the story across. Diaries are one of
the most personal and intimate forms of written work. To bolster this claim, let us take the example of Anne Frank. In her case, she named her diary

freedom. He appropriately imparted the words to the mute have–nots to rebel in their own ways. He takes up his plots to a revolutionary idealism with
a passion. During World War II, Anand worked as a broadcaster and scriptwriter for the BBC, London. So, the stories have the influence of his being a
journalist.In spite of the problem in technique of writing The Lost Child, he brilliantly reproduces the agony of waiting in its story. The darkness of
night, the unsleeping child, the turmoil in the mind of helpless housewife, the mutilated body of householder have–nots, etc are wisely engraved in the
plot of the novel. It revolves around a child who loses his toy in a nearby shop. Certainly, the story has allegorical significance. At that moment, the
child realizes his isolation and cries out in despair, "I want my father, I want my mother" (Anand 1995: 10). The child's fall is symbolic of Adam's fall
from paradise because of "his inordinate temptation and transgression" (Anand, Mulk, Raj. archive.org/stream/ .

The author also employs metaphor when saying,"Infinity is the sparkling of a wren blow out to sea; that inconceivable chasm of invulnerable silence
in which cataclysms of galaxies rave mute as amber" (78).
Agee uses personification to breathe life into the ordinary. An example is, "Deep in the valley an engine coughed" (17).
An example of reification is, "darkness, smiling, leaned over more intimately inward upon him, laid open the huge, ragged mouth" (79).
The author uses hyperbole to magnify aspects of the story. One example of hyperbole is, "'Andrew,' Mary broke in, 'tell Mama. She's just dying to
know'" (172). In the story Mama is not physically dying, Agee exaggerates to show Mama's desire to know what is happening at that instant.
An example of apostrophe is Mary continuing to speak to Jay after his passing, "Jay. My dear. My dear one. You're all right now, darling. You're not

The novel has a strong tradition in English literature. In Great Britain, it can trace its roots back to Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe in 1719 (Kroll

popular in Victorian England was the novel of youth. Many authors of the time were producing works focused on the journey from childhood to
adulthood: Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre, George Eliot wrote The Mill on the Floss, and Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield and Great
Expectations. All of these novels trace the growth of a child. In this respect, some of the most popular novels of the nineteenth ... Show more content on

Similarly, the Bildungsroman is characterized by the growth, education, and development of a character both in the world and ultimately within himself.
The Bildungsroman is subcategorized into very specific types of the genre, most often found in German literature. There is the Entwicklungsroman,
which can be defined as "a chronicle of a young man's general growth rather than his specific quest for self–culture" (Buckley 13). In other words, a
story recounting a man's life rather than focusing on the inner changes that contribute to his maturity. Another form within German literature is the
Erziehungsroman; this form is primarily concerned with the protagonist's actual educational process (Buckley 13). Again, the concern is not the overall
development of the main character, but a specific aspect of that character's life. Finally, there is the Kunstlerroman. The root Kunstler translates as artist
in English. Therefore, this is the development of the artist from childhood until his artistic maturity, focusing on the man as artist rather than the man in
general. Dickens' David Copperfield and James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man are both examples of English Kunstlerroman, as the
protagonists of both books are writers (Buckley 13).

Persepolis is an autobiographical graphic novel by Iranian born author Marjane Satrapi. It is the story of her life leading up to, and during the Iranian

notion that she would become a prophet, which is her way of countering the injustices that she sees as inherent in her world. This particular question is
one that has stymied mankind from the beginning of time, and one that still confronts us today. She also addresses the fundamental issue of freedom,
of choice, of feminism, of religion, and even of dress. Even more, she recounts her coming of age story, one that resounds and transcends all cultures,
races, and belief systems.
Persepolis was first published as a series of four volumes beginning in 2000 by the French publisher, L'Association. Later, American publisher

The misplacement of his closest companions causes him a struggling grief. No one understood Eugene like Grover and Ben did. Both Ben and Eugene felt like no one cared for them, no one knew them for themselves, therefore they always were ready to leave, but would always look back to home. "... it is a book, not only of Eugene's "buried life," but one about tragic loneliness" (Holman 406). Within Altamont, his mother also creates an addition to Eugene's misplacement, in the way that she oppresses her son by over smothering him. As her last child, she was unable to let go. Eliza started him off at school late, refused to cut his hair, made him sleep with her, and more. His stunted growing ability made Eugene feel out of place with the boys his age. According to David O'Rouke, "Altamont is for Eugene not only an oppressive situation..."

  • 6. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath Essay What is in the spring of your life if the spring of a life refers to your first twenty years in your life? The Bell Jar, a semi–autobiographical novel by Silvia Plath, describes Esther Greenwood's harsh spring of her life. Narrating in the first person, Esther tells her experience of a mental breakdown in a descriptive language, helping the readers visualize what she sees and feel her emotions. The novel takes place in New York City and Boston during the early 1950s when women's roles were limited to domesticity. The repression of women's roles in the American society during the 1950s and other influences such as her lack of confidence, her hesitance, her mother, and her feminist point of view seem to affect her mental breakdown.

She compares a life to a fig tree, and the figs on the fig tree symbolize ambition, dreams or goals. Her figs are a happy home with a husband and children, a famous poet, a brilliant professor, an amazing editor and so on. Although having lots of goals, she believes that "choosing one [means] losing all the rest" (77). Therefore, she is "starving to death," seeing the figs wither, "go black", and "[plop] to the ground at my feet" (77). Using metaphors in a descriptive language, Plath makes the reader visualize a young woman under a fig tree with full of figs, hesitating to pick the figs. The dreams got rotten and drop to her feet. This visualization terrifies the nineteen–year old girl, who should be hopeful for her future, because she should decide on one before they all drop. Her fear becomes more severe while she performs her last work as an intern in New York City, which is to be photographed with a symbol of her career goal. She tries to hide herself not to be photographed because she fears picking only one dream among her dreams. Asked what she wants to be, she says she does not know, but soon says she wants to be a poet. Then, she bursts into tears while being photographed with a paper rose because the paper rose means, to her, her abandonment of other goals. Also, her crying depicts a symptom of ...

  • 8. Comparison Of Depression In The Big Sur By Jack Kerouac Depression affects 350 million people and is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Everyone deals with depression a different way but it is not easy, the best way is to see a professional and talk about it to try to let it all out, but most people come up with their own way. Depressed modern poets such as Jack Kerouac and Sylvia Plath tried to shock themselves into reality and heal their depression and feelings about certain subjects with alcohol and electroconvulsive therapy but could not. They both decided to chose the outlet of poetry and release their negative feelings by writing about similar themes. This becomes evident when one draws similarities between themes such as isolation, nature and love proven by examining The Big Sur by Jack Kerouac and many poetic works from Sylvia Plath. Being a popular poet can do alot to one, and if ones fans only care about their work and not their true feelings the artist tends to feel isolated. When one is depressed he/she tends to isolate themselves. Kerouac and Plath both do this when they are writing. In many of Plath's poems she writes about her loneliness, and in some she even tells God. Plath is so depressed that she associate's life with loneliness, which proves that Plath feels she is isolated "God, but life is loneliness" (Under the Night Starry Sky, Plath). Plath feels empty, she feels useless, she is tired and just wants to relax, this proves that Plath is giving up and she is so upset with her life that she does ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 9. The Book Thief Point Of View Analysis Markus Zusak has been subject to heavy criticism for his choice of writing style in his historical fiction novel, The Book Thief. In the novel, he made the decision to have Death, who is identified and acknowledged as a person, narrate the entirety of the novel and tell it from his point of view. Despite the normal perspectives or typical stereotypes associated with the concept of death, Death is not a bad guy or someone to be afraid of in this novel. Death is simply just another normal or average human being. Zusak chooses Death as the narrator not only to provide Liesel Meminger's, the protagonist of the novel, point of view of what is going on around her during World War II, but also to furnish valuable information to the readers that a juvenile girl like Liesel ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Yes, the novel could have been told from the perspective of a third–person narrator or character; however, with the novel being told by Death, Zusak is capable of providing a distinct point of view on all of the deaths that are occurring in this horrendous period of time. It is important to understand that although Death provides a broader scope of World War II, he is not omniscient. This solely means that he is not aware of everything that is happening in the world. He obtains his knowledge and information as any other person would, which is through personal experiences and reading or hearing about it from other sources. Clearly in this novel, Death is sharing what he has read. His main source for narrating the novel is The Book Thief, which is the autobiographical book that Liesel writes about her life. Nevertheless, in order for Liesel's story to be comprehendible and make sense, Death has to inform the readers about the other occurrences in Germany, Russia, and Poland that Liesel has no awareness of during the time she is composing her ...

  • 10. Narcissistic Trope In The Armies The narrative world of The Armies provides readers with multiple and diverse meanings to the incident of the anti–war March towards the Pentagon. Multiplicity emerges out of the various perspectives of the same story told by the reporter of The Time and retold by Mailer, the narrator. In the process of the Time reporter's telling and the narrator's retelling of the scenes of the March, readers become aware of their involvement in the process of creating the fictional universe of the text. The Reporter of The Time and Mailer, the narrator, alternatively exchange roles as a reporter/narrator and as a reader of the same story. However, in the linguistic mode, The Armies constitutes itself as a quintessential narcissistic text with its "building blocks," that is, "the very language whose referents serve to construct that imaginative world" (Narcissistic Narrative 29). On the linguistic sphere, Mailer, in The Armies, skillfully reconciles the generic opposites by deliberately giving the subtitle of his work: 'history as a... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... It enables the author to engage himself into the narrative itself to reiterate the textual self–consciousness and self–reflexivity of the narrative by frequently drawing the attention to the writing process of the narrative. By so doing, the author asserts historically his on presence and participation in both the historical moment and the narrative. Thus, the narcissistic trope in The Armies "strengthens and points to the direct level of historical engagement and reference of the text" (Hutcheon, A Poetics 117). The meta–factual and narcissistic elements appear everywhere in the text. After holding the mirror twice before up to the text and the reader, the author/narrator holds it again up to the character of Mailer himself. So, in the last chapter of the first part, the author/narrator confuses and blurs the boundaries between Mailer as an author/narrator and as a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

She takes her place among Tsitsi Dangarembga, Miriama Ba, Bessie Head, Ama Ata Aidoo, Lauretta Ngcobo, and Lindsey Collen, to name a few, as writers who have formed an intense new voice of African womanhood. Emecheta has published more than twenty works; including the novels Double Yoke, The Bride Price, Head above Water, Destination Biafra, and Kehinde. Each is an exploration of what it means to be a woman and a mother in rapidly evolving societies where traditions and mores are in a constant state of flux. While some of her novels mirror her own experience as an expatriate living in London, her work mostly focuses on her native country of Nigeria. The Joys of Motherhood is among her most pivotal works, as it offers critical commentary on colonialism, tradition, capitalism, and women's roles as they come to affect one woman, Nnu Ego, and her family Key words: African women writers, expatriation, motherhood, colonialism, women's role INTRODUCTION Buchi Emecheta, the pioneering Nigerian ...

  • 12. Jack London's The Iron Heel: A Small Folk Bible Of... Jack London's The Iron Heel (1907) has been called "a small folk Bible of scientific socialism." Its historical relevance has been found to lie mostly in the introduction it provides to revolutionary thought and in its scientific predictions, rather than in its literary form. Even Trotsky, a not unsubtle literary critic, pointed out the exactness of London's predictions and defined the form of the fiction as nothing but a frame for its social analyses. Form would appear to be a kind of irrelevant "superstructure," an ornament and aid for uneducated readers. "The Iron Heel" is usually described as an early example of dystopian fiction. The book predicts a future in which the American working class has soundly defeated capitalism. For some modern ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Kerouac was ecstatic at having established ″a new trend in American literature″. It is the American writer Burroughs and Cassady given Kerouac useful models of autobiographical narrative. Kerouac used first–person narration like that of Burroughs's autobiography and imitates Cassady's confessional style. He dramatizes the emotional effect of his road experiences in a rapid typist manuscripts. Jack Kerouac's On the Road as an example of a work of fiction that approaches autobiography. Although all Kerouac's main novels contain elements of autobiography, the novel On the Road is presented as the fictional autobiography of Sal Paradise's road life. Kerouac involves himself in a "self–interview", that appears similar to Thoreau's heroic reading of his life. Instead of developing different narrative strategies, Kerouac uses four major trips, he made between 1947 and 1950 to convey the cultural, psychological, and spiritual changes that occurred. By examining his life as a fiction, Kerouac effectively frees himself from the confines of the narrator's role in autobiography and interprets his experiences with Neal Cassady beyond their historical ...

Truffaut And Houellebecq While FranГ§ois Truffaut and Michel Houellebecq's works may indeed prevent their audience from forgetting the material, artificial nature of what they are holding in their hands or seeing before their eyes, it is sometimes despite their creators' best efforts. For when, as they do in both men's work, elements of the autobiographical creep into the work and the line with fiction is blurred, we are inevitably drawn back to our position as spectators, at a distance from the narrative and form. And while their works may ceaselessly remind us of their materiality in their form, we are also constantly made aware of the materiality of the characters within them as well. There are, of course, moments within the works of the period when it is clear that artists seek to remind the audience of artificiality of the work they are ...

Cornflowers are hardy annuals that are easy to start from seed. Sylvia Plath thought that destitution problem would harm us if we could not solve it. Destitution was not only the thin people's problem, but that was also our problem.

Generally speaking, writers have tried to show that most threats to sanity comprise a combination of long–term and short–term factors – the burning of the library in Mervyn Peake's novel 'Titus Groan' precipitated Lord Sepulchrave's descent into madness, but a longer term problem can be discerned in the weight of tradition which caused him to worry 'that with him the line of Groan should ...

Esther Greenwood's initial response is to withdraw – she tries to protect herself by severing her emotional connection both to the outside world and also, increasingly, herself. In various places Plath is describing scenes which would normally be repulsive and gruesome – the language used, however, is clinical and cold and gives the reader the impression that the narrator is failing to respond emotionally to what she is observing. In describing medical specimens of preserved foetuses Greenwood says that "The baby in the first bottle had a large white head bent over a tiny curled–up body the size of a frog." There is no comment made on this or similar descriptions that follow until the next paragraph when she confides that "I was quite proud of the calm way I stared at all these gruesome things". This response is almost childish and flippant in tone and does not rest easy with the horrible sites that she was seeing (and Plath implicitly admits this with the worlds "gruesome things") – nevertheless the tone of the comment emphasises the block that she is placing between herself and disturbing scenes. The very structure of the writing emphasises this – the position of the comment at the start of the next paragraph creates a break in the flow of the writing and emphasises Plath's disjointed emotional state.

Many other characters can be seen as connecting to the people in Shelley's life. Adrian in The Last Man, has often been compared to Percy Shelley, mainly because both of them die in the same way, drowning in a shipwreck. Fitzgerald did something similar, but not as fatal. Instead of writing about losing life, Fitzgerald wrote about losing love. Fitzgerald and his wife were known as a extravagant couple of the 1920's. His wife, Zelda Fitzgerald was a clever, fiery young girl who captured Fitzgerald's heart. Captured it so, she appeared in most of his novels, as a character similar to that of her personality, understood clearly because of her history, "The youngest of six children, her parents raised Zelda as a free–spirited, imaginative and thoroughly spoiled little girl. By the age of eighteen, when she met F. Scott Fitzgerald at one of the many parties she attended, she embodied the quintessential southern belle." (Willet).

Marcia Aldrich, who has her Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington, is one of the academics to underline the role of being a female writer in the 19th century and what importance this plays on the novel Frankenstein. In her article, co–written by Richard Isomaki, "The Woman Writer as Frankenstein" analyzes the significance of Mary Shelley being the daughter of a writer and how this contributed to her writing Frankenstein, which they speculate as her, Mary Shelley, envisioning herself as the Monster. Aldrich and Isomaki's "The Woman Writer as Frankenstein" makes valid and persuasive points, which effectively argues that the novel is semi–autobiographical in the sense that Mary Shelley pictured her as the Frankenstein Monster, for many of the concerns that the authors bring up in their article highlight the insecurities, doubts, and inexorable frustrations of a young woman writing in the 19th century.

In saying this, Carey's novel is chiefly based on Ned's own narrative voice in the Jerilderie Letter. By analysing a passage located between pages 374–375, where two key characters of the novel (Ned Kelly and Joe Byrne) discuss a letter that Ned Kelly had sent off to Mr Cameron (which was never published; thus causing the composition of the Jerilderie Letter) this essay aims to discover how this passage relates to key elements of the novel.

In fact, being a lighter Mexican boy was his ticket into the American society. However, his family financial struggles did certainly affect him. During Christmas, his father "would make sure we all had presents–not clothes, which we needed, but didn't want, but toys, which we wanted, but didn't need" (1028). As a child, he was also sent out to ask their neighbors for a dime, and when he had turned eight years old, his father later had him get molested by many older men as an exchange for money. "He would say: "Give me a thousand," and I knew this meant I should hop on his lap and then he would fondle me–intimately–and he'd give me a penny, sometimes a nickel. At times when his friends–old gray men–came to our house, they would ask for "a thousand." And I would jump on their laps too. And I would get a nickel after a nickel, going around the table" (1028). Socioeconomically, the character can identify himself as someone who was oppressed by poverty. Having to get molested as an exchange for money and forced by his father–who is not a real fatherly figure, could have caused him to feel rejected and demoralized as a human being; "I fled to the Mirror. I would stand before it, thinking: I have only Me!" (1031). Knowing that his father failed as a parent and that his mother did not do anything about his narcissistic behavior, the feeling of lonesome wrapped itself into his life. The character explains how he becomes obsessed with attention; "Yet I was beginning to feel, too, a remoteness toward people––more and more a carving for attention which I could not reciprocate" (1030). Apparently, seeking attention excessively is not a character flaw but rather a trauma caused by neglection.

This is a problem of whether the text should be taken literally or figuratively (rhetority or figurality) and also because all poems/texts have multiplicity of meanings, value and appeal. In order to resolve this language problem, there is the need to create a context which will help in the interpretation of the text.

It was especially popular in Victorian England. The type of novel that was particularly popular in Victorian England was the novel of youth. Many authors of the time were producing works focused on the journey from childhood to adulthood: Charlotte Bronte wrote Jane Eyre, George Eliot wrote The Mill on the Floss, and Charles Dickens wrote David Copperfield and Great Expectations.

Similarly, the Bildungsroman is characterized by the growth, education, and development of a character both in the world and ultimately within himself. The Bildungsroman is subcategorized into very specific types of the genre, most often found in German literature. There is the Entwicklungsroman, which can be defined as "a chronicle of a young man's general growth rather than his specific quest for self–culture" (Buckley 13). In other words, a story recounting a man's life rather than focusing on the inner changes that contribute to his maturity. Another form within German literature is the Erziehungsroman; this form is primarily concerned with the protagonist's actual educational process (Buckley 13). Again, the concern is not the overall development of the main character, but a specific aspect of that character's life. Finally, there is the Kunstlerroman. The root Kunstler translates as artist in English. Therefore, this is the development of the artist from childhood until his artistic maturity, focusing on the man as artist rather than the man in general. Dickens' David Copperfield and James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man are both examples of English Kunstlerroman, as the protagonists of both books are writers (Buckley 13).

Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Jeanette Winterson's novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit when published in 1985 as her first novel, it was unanimously regarded as "a realistic and heavily autobiographical comedy of 'coming out'" (Onega) in which the narrative structure employs elements derived from the Bildungsroman tradition –expression of the heroine's quest for individuation, as much as a feminist gesture of self–assertion, deployed in a hostile Pentecostal Evangelist environment. The story of young Jeanette, the character, clearly echoes the author's own story: the protagonist falls in love with another girl, and has to fight her emotional way through the coercive norms of her religious community in the North of England. The novel was read in the light of the emerging ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 37. Analysis Of The Woman Writer As Frankenstein By Mary Shelley The horror classic novel Frankenstein has gathered a great deal of critical and commercial attention since first being introduced in 1818, and naturally there has been many academics who have analyzed many of the novel's biggest themes, symbols, and motifs. This also includes in analyzing the author herself, Mary Shelley. Marcia Aldrich, who has her Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington, is one of the academics to underline the role of being a female writer in the 19th century and what importance this plays on the novel Frankenstein. In her article, co–written by Richard Isomaki, "The Woman Writer as Frankenstein" analyzes the significance of Mary Shelley being the daughter of a writer and how this contributed to her writing Frankenstein, which they speculate as her, Mary Shelley, envisioning herself as the Monster. Aldrich and Isomaki's "The Woman Writer as Frankenstein" makes valid and persuasive points, which effectively argues that the novel is semi–autobiographical in the sense that Mary Shelley pictured her as the Frankenstein Monster, for many of the concerns that the authors bring up in their article highlight the insecurities, doubts, and inexorable frustrations of a young woman writing in the 19th century. Aldrich and Isomaki begin their article by formally declaring that they are taking a psychological stance on the matter: "We provide a loosely psychoanalytic frame of study for our students, focusing on the mother–daughter relation and the ...

  • 38. Mental Illness And Social Behavior In The Bell Jar First, let me start off by saying I loved what this book tries to shed light on. Mental Illness and Social Behavior. This book could be a trigger for those who deal with suicidal tendencies. Reading The Bell Jar, I felt the pathos that was heavily inlaid into the story of this semi–autobiographical novel and it melted my heart. My initial thought as I started to read was of annoyance with the inner monologue of Esther Greenwood (Protagonist). It starts off talking about fashion and gossip of girls whom she encounters throughout the story. Showing her mild disgust with everyone she crosses it seems. Which, honestly, starts me off disliking the main character. Shortly into the story she's invited out to a bar and is hooked up with a guy who ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The theme is shown how the expectations of the 1950s American society forms into sanity and madness . Straight into the first chapter, Plath detaches Esther from society with her clinical diction seen when Esther describes New York to be "fake" as she constantly felt like a "numb trolleybus" when all her life consisted of was hotels and parties. Plath's hyperbole, "I felt very still and very empty, the way the eye of a tornado must feel,moving dully ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
