Born in Livermore Falls, Maine, Louise Bogan 's early life was tainted by turbulence and instability. Her mother was liable to to erratic and often violent behavior and would sometimes abandon her family, at times to take part in illicit affairs. By age eight, Bogan had become what she once described as "the semblance of a girl, in which some desires and illusions had been early assassinated: shot dead." Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Bogan experienced severe depression, for which she endured psychoanalysis

believing that dreams provide simple solutions to seemingly complex issues in our lives. Louise Bogan, in her poem "The Dream," describes a dream that expresses both repression and solution. It is a poem about fear, and Bogan's message--the message of the dream, in fact--is that fear can be tamed through trust. In the first stanza of the poem the speaker describes the fearful dream she had. Bogan introduces the symbol of a mighty horse that embodies the fear and retribution carried from the speaker's
Two of the many influential women I will discuss further are Ma Rainey and Lucille Bogan. Ma Rainey grew up as Gertrude Pridgett in Georgia in the late 1880s. Having parents who were entertainers themselves, it is no surprise that Ma Rainey began her own singing career at a very young age. After initially singing with a group at an opera
Today I am going to tell you about my opinion on Australia’s National Identity. For countless years the entire world has visualised Australians as a pack of outback country bogans, with a limited education and a strange addiction to vegemite and beer. Australians are a strange collection of people who only ever greet each other by using phrases such as ‘G’day Mate’ and ‘How ya goin’, whilst also throwing in as many strange and unintelligent phrases an possible. This is definitely not the natural

wedding scene is making multiple social comments about ‘bogans’. In the scene, nothing goes as planned and there are stuff ups everywhere; from the farcical scene of a late bride to the drunken antics of the groom; everything is hyperbolised for effect. Kath and Kim also try to be ‘classy’ by having their wedding in their own home, making it seem like their house is sophisticated enough for a wedding. The show's ridicule of the middle class 'bogan' image is achieved not only through farce but also in
Wollstonecraft is about overcoming the ways in which women in her time are oppressed and denied their potential in society, with concomitant problems for their households and society as a whole. And the four poems by Kate Chopin, Emily Dickinson, Louise Bogan, and Lucille Clifton also have a lot to explain about their feminism. In The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin, the author wrote “ I love man as my
Introduction With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, the trend of a father absence in his daughter’s life appears to have risen. The effects of divorce seem to hit the children the hardest, particularly the daughters. Girls and young women who have an unstable father figure seem prone to low-self esteem, unplanned pregnancy, dropping out of high school and college. As these young women become adults, they are more likely to experience divorce and poverty, and more likely to engage
Driving Stereotypes There is a great debate on whether or not the elderly should be able to drive. Most people who have had any encounters with terrible elder drivers would say no way. This is because they have had that one or maybe even two experiences with a not so cautious elderly driver. This experience has caused them to put a stereotype on all elderly people and their driving abilities. After reading and analyzing all four of the elderly women from the four works in A Writer’s Reader. The
Mark Twain once remarked: “The very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice.” Living in the very interesting times of counter narratives, revisionism and paradigm shifts, long-standing assumptions regarding people and nations have undergone revolutionary modifications. Individual and collective histories that shaped world views and attitudes are now seen for what they are – not mere recordings of facts and reality, but rather the victor’s version of the reality they deemed
the country's most unforgiving land, only to still come against the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese forces. As of late, the Aussie battler has started to gain similar connotations as the term ‘bogan’ but there are some important differences that make the former desirable and the latter less so. ‘Bogan’ is Australian slang that is used to describe an unfashionable, uncouth or simple person whose behaviour illustrates a proud working class mentality. On the other hand, an Aussie Battler is defined
the sunset in the distance, as it disappears behind the rocky road. For international viewers the landscape in the movie red dog clearly represents the Australian outback. The stereotypes throughout red dog, are typical to the average Aussie bloke; Bogan attire, beard, dirty and always with a bear in there hand. The actors use jargon and slang to depict the average conversation between two Australian
surpass the best-in-class. iii. Benchmarking is a fundamental business or investment skill that supports quality excellence (Bogan, Christopher and English, 1994) By their nature, best practices are dynamic and progressive. Best practice champions, thus regard benchmarking as an on-going business process that is fully integrated with continuous improvement in their organization. Bogan and English (1994) identified a rapid advancing revolution in performance measurements, known as benchmarking. Today,
People who enjoy a good joke but in general have a good sense of mateship and believe in fair go. Who are also deemed lazy, with poor English skills and lack of sophistication. The same stereotype is what the general Australian population view as ‘bogan’. Part B I feel that the Australian stereotype originated well before OH&S standards came into play for sun smart clothing. A time where stubbies and
Writing about the morning may be the easiest thing to write about. Many write about how they do not want to wake up in the morning or how they don’t want to leave their love ones to go to work or school. All of these written works are aubades. Aubades are a very interesting mode of poetry that is very loosely defined. They only have one criterion to be considered an aubade, but have no techniques that are unique to it. Aubades have been around since the middle ages and are still written till this
Analysis of "My Papa's Waltz" This poem has a kept form. Even at a glance, it has a set form. It consists of four quatrains, each line being an iambic tritameter. The poem is about a young boy waltzing with his father. One can assume that the speaker is a young boy, or perhaps the poet reminiscing his youth. The father dances around in a haphazard manner, knocking over pans in the kitchen. Upon first glance, the tone is humorous. The picture one immediately forms is rather comical with the
fundamental constructed distinction can be seen to perpetuate further inequalities. An example of this is the gendered social stigma that is performed though the body and experienced through the ‘bogan’ stereotype. In a study by Barbara Pini and Josephine Previte (2013, 358) it was found that “Alongside motherhood, the bogan female is judged incredibly harshly for her failure to embody middle-class femininity—as demure, soft, gentle and slim”. These stereotypes normalise a class-based taste-hierarchy strongly

This award, founded in 1952 honors "one of the state's most distinguished citizens" and journalists (Bogan).
