  • The Glass Castle By Jeannette Walls Analysis

    403 Words  | 1 Pages

    Jeannette Walls has lived a life that many of us probably never will, the life of a migrant. The majority of her developmental years were spent moving to new places, sometimes just picking up and skipping town overnight. Frugality was simply a way of life for the Walls. Their homes were not always in perfect condition but they continued with their lives. With a brazen alcoholic and chain-smoker of a father and a mother who is narcissistic and wishes her children were not born so that she could have been a successful artist, Jeannette did a better job of raising herself semi-autonomously than her parents did if they had tried. One thing that did not change through all that time was the love she had for her mother, father, brother and sisters. The message that I received from reading this memoir is that family has a strong bond that will stay strong in the face of adversity.

  • Treasure Of The City Of Ladies Analysis

    1026 Words  | 3 Pages

    Christine de Pizan is a woman who experienced multiple societal roles throughout the late Medieval and Renaissance time period. She made a living from her writing concerning the debate over misogyny. Pizan’s handbook The Treasure of the City of Ladies serves as a behavior manual for women during the medieval era of harsh realities (Dufrense, 1995). Women are seen as inferior to men, with limited roles such as mothers, daughters, wives, nuns, or prostitutes (Dufrense, 1995). Hierarchies of society are divided into three classes: clergy, nobility, and peasantry. Pizan educated all women of this time, from those with power and authority to the poorest peasant women (Dufrense, 1995). The same societal concerns can be applied to influential women today, specifically Hillary Clinton’s behavior in the media following her email scandal. A comparative analysis of Pizan’s behavioral guidelines to Hilary Clinton’s actions will determine if wealthy women of the 21st century are still following the advice from The Treasure of the City of Ladies.

    Excellence has always been a virtue revered by society. Writers throughout the ages have tried to capture the essence of excellence in their works, often in the form of a title character, who is the embodiment of perfection, encapsulating all the ideal traits necessary for one to be considered an excellent member of society. However, the standards for excellence are not universally agreed upon. On the contrary, one man's idea of excellence may very well be another's idea of mediocrity. Yet, human nature is constant enough that by analyzing different literary "heroes", one can discover the standards of excellence that are common to different peoples.

    n Tennessee William’s drama play, The Glass Menagerie, the character Amanda is mostly concerned with her children's well being. After her husband abandoned her and their two children, Tom and Laura, Amanda had to raise both of them single-handedly until they were grown ups. Williams’ drama “involving only four characters, is built around Amanda and her effect upon raising her children” (Tholl, 1337). Amanda cared for her children's health, appearance, and future while also being concerned with what they do in their free time. Being the mother that she is, Amanda wishes nothing but “success and happiness for her precious children” (Williams 1996). Although her mothering techniques can be extreme and or suffocating to some degree, she is not oblivious to all of the dysfunctional nature of her family.

  • Analysis of King Midas and the Golden Touch

    1396 Words  | 3 Pages

    King Midas and the Golden Touch, is one of the most famous myths in western lore. It details the story of one man’s greed and lust for wealth leading to his ultimate downfall. Initially written by Ovid, in his Metamorphoses published in 8 A.D, it has been adapted and analyzed even in modern times. Written in Dactylic Hexameter, as customary of great mythological works of the time period, the poem effectively served as a part of a guide to life for the ancient Romans. The morals the story teaches are still applicable in this day and age. As the story is intertwined with the rest of the epic, it is important to evaluate the myth in an educated and modified light. In King Midas and the Golden Touch, Ovid deftly illustrates the importance of restraint by detailing King Midas’ suffering from his greed.
