Paper Abstract: Reviews novel on immigrant experience in U.S. using device of accordion made by Sicilian passing among families, generations & ethnic groups. Paper Introduction: E. Annie Proulx’s novel Accordion Crimes examines the immigrant experience in the United States by using the conceit of an accordion made by a Sicilian immigrant that passes from one family to another, one generation to the next, one ethnic group to another. Each section of the book relates variations on the theme of the American immigrant experience. In each case people that somehow do not fit into the mainstream of American society must learn either to live on the margins or to make compromises with their sense of self-identity so that they may fit in. Such compromises involve the same decisions in each generation: changing one’s name, one’s religion, one’s sense of loyalty, one’s profession, the scope of one’s dreams. Failure to make such changes often subjects the characters in the short term to the possi Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines novel's theme of personal, political & social responsibility. Paper Introduction: In the novel All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren, issues of integrity and responsibility are brought to the fore and developed in the political arena in which the story is set. The issue of responsibility is framed in dramatic terms in the opening paragraph. The issue is carried through in the story pursued and told by Jack Burden. The issue is demonstrated in the life of Willie Stark, which is characterized by the political machine that runs the state. Pursuit of the issue ultimately leads to the closing of the novel as Jack Burden recognizes a certain cosmic order of responsibility which involves what he calls "the awful responsibility of Time." The opening paragraph offers a lengthy version of the ancient issue of whether actions are fated or come about through our own actions. If they are fated, then we are not Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines history of scholarly criticism of 1925 novel, social context & values, characters, theme, author's persona. Paper Introduction: The purpose of this research is to examine scholarly literary criticism related to Theodore Dreiser's novel An American Tragedy. This paper will discuss the historical and social context in which critical commentary relevant to the novel has significance, and then evaluate literary criticism that has developed around An American Tragedy, both at the time of its initial publication and in the current period. The fact that the novel appears to have been a popular commercial as well as critical success at the time of first publication may seem remarkable given the sundry cultural forces at work on the American landscape in 1925, when it was first written. An American Tragedy was part of what Frederick Lewis Allen describes as the mid-twenties "revolt of the highbrows" against a "middle class majority [that had] turned from perse Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes conversation between Colonel Cathcart & Chaplain in Chapter 19 in context of bureaucratic madness. Paper Introduction: The conversation between Colonel Cathcart and the Chaplain in Chapter 19 of Catch-22 illustrates the theme of bureaucratic mentalities. Colonel Cathcart is the epitome of the bureaucratic mindset. Joseph Heller, the author, emphasizes Colonel Cathcart's selfish motives by presenting him in contrast to the Chaplain, who suffers for others. The episode between Colonel Cathcart and the Chaplain proves that there is always a "catch-22," even for diehard bureaucrats. Colonel Cathcart is a man blinded by irrational ambition. His desire is to make general, and he plots to accomplish this by calling attention to his own deeds: "He was complacent and insecure, daring in the administrative stratagems he employed to bring himself to the attention of his superiors and craven in his concern that his schemes might all backfire" (197).

Paper Abstract: Examines use & significance of religion, religious impulse & ritual in science fiction novel. Paper Introduction: The religious impulse is expressed in the society depicted in the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. This is a post-war society, one that has been much changed first by the death brought by a weapon that killed most of the animals and many humans, then by the forced migration of millions of people to other planets to escape the lingering effects of the dust-weapon. Only a sparse population is left on earth, some from fear of emigration, some from loyalty to earth, some because they have been rejected by society. One of the ways the government gets people to make the move is by giving each individual a personal servant in the form of an android, and many of these androids seek freedom of their own by escaping back to earth. The main character is a bounty hunter who tracks down these runaways and eliminates them. Within this societal Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines novel's portrait of a young woman's search for & discovery of spiritual enlightenment. Paper Introduction: J.D. Salinger's novel Franny and Zooey shows the redemptive power of family and love in the life of a sister and brother. the plot of the book is simple: Franny, the younger sister of Zooey, has come home unexpectedly from college after suffering a nervous breakdown, and, as a result of her interchanges with Zooey, she finds some measure of peace and acceptance of herself and others. The structure of the book is similarly simple: Franny has a long conversation with her soon-to-be-ex boy friend; Zooey has a long conversation with his and Franny's mother; and Zooey and Franny have a long conversation, which includes a section in which Zooey pretends to be their older and wiser brother Buddy, who is in fact the narrator of the book, or at least the "Zooey" section. Those extended conversations comprise the entire novel, slowly but surely advancing Franny's awakening to a more tolerant and Read the Entire Essay.

Divorced by Madeleine, his mentally abusive second wife, Herzog becomes convinced that he deserves justice. Herzog flies to Chicago to confront Madeleine and her lover Valentine Gersbach about the welfare of daughter June. This episode follows a recurring theme throughout the book, Herzog regaining his mental clarity by taking decisive action. Prior to one of his visits to Harvey Simkin, a lawyer friend, Herzog had allowed Madeleine and Gersbach complete freedom in their adulterous affair. When Madeleine informed Herzog that she wanted a divorce, he took the news with restrained civility: "He still thought perhaps he could win by the appeal of passivity, of personality, win on the ground of Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Critical analysis of protagonist's views on race & politics, identity, social inequity, role of individual action. Paper Introduction: The Prologue to Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man introduces the narrator and sets up the novel's principal themes. But the reader cannot grasp them easily since the Prologue is also filled with ambiguous, confusing material: the layers of music that the narrator hears while he is high; the references to characters we have not met; the narrator's strangely violent behavior; and the mystery of why he is in this cellar. He comes across like a madman, who also has some lucid thoughts mixed in with his rambling, and it is only by the end of the Prologue--which may require two or three readings--that the reader detects its unity. By the end of the Prologue one concept emerges with clarity and that is the problem of invisibility. His invisibility is the result of the peculiarities of vision of the people with whom he comes in contact. It is, however, "a matter of the construction Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines novel's depiction of protagonist as a symbol of the passing of machine politics, including corruption & popularity with the average voter. Paper Introduction: The political world in the novel The Last Hurrah is a world that is changing, and the old guard is losing ground because the attitude of the public has shifted. The portrait is of the old-style political machine which could deliver voters and get a candidate elected almost as a matter of course. Some of the methods were seen as skirting the law and as unethical, but they reflected the view that politics was a way to get ahead, a way for a group like the Irish to assert themselves and to carve out a place for themselves in the urban centers of the northeast. The city in this novel is not named, but it is very much like New York or a number of other cities on the Eastern seaboard. Frank Skeffington reads as the sort of politician it is difficult to find today, a man like the earlier Mayor Daley in Chicago.

Paper Abstract: Examines novel's portrayal of big-city political corruption & drive for reform in mid-1950s. Paper Introduction: Political campaigns have been the subject of many novels, most recently the best-seller Primary Colors which satirized the first presidential candidacy of Bill Clinton. Each book in this genre offers details of the way campaigns are run at the time of publication, giving the reader insight into a process he or she might only have glimpsed on television, seen described in newspapers and magazines, and imagined according to what little information he or she may have. These novels take the reader into the campaign and show the dynamics of running for office. A book like The Last Hurrah by Edwin O'Connor takes the reader into a campaign in the mid-1950s in a large Eastern city at a time when city politics were machine politics, run by tight party organizations able to reward and punish those who either helped or hurt its cause. The candidate is Frank Skeffington, mayor for some Read the Entire Essay. If this paper is not what you are looking for, you can search again: or We can write a Custom Essay for you. | ||

Paper Abstract: Analyzes protagonist Frank Skeffington, a traditional, big-city politician who cares about the people, opposed by the new breed of elitists. Paper Introduction: Frank Skeffington is the main character in Edwin O'Connor's political novel, The Last Hurrah. The title says much about the story being told and much about the political changes that are taking place in the city of the novel. A political campaign is here identified as a "hurrah," a word showing great excitement, joy, and at the same time a sense of triumph expressed in the word "hurrah." An election is therefore something of a sporting event, watched by cheerleaders on both sides, each side cheering on their candidate to the finish. The fact that this is the last such campaign for Skeffington is indicated in the title, and he seems to know this as well. He is old, and since he believes this is his last hurrah, he asks that his nephew be part of the campaign so he can impart some of his knowledge to someone, his son having failed him in that regard.

Paper Abstract: Examines how novel's characters, values & themes fit into Realist tradition. Paper Introduction: Introduction Henry James’ unique version of realism is never more evident than in The Portrait of a Lady. He followed traditional realism in that his characters remained true to their identity regardless of the situation, but James diverged from realism in that the world where his characters lived had nothing to do with real life. This paper will explore James’ view of realism as contained in this work. James, Turgenev, and Howells The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James reflects the influences and techniques advocated by James’ friends and intimates, Ivan Turgenev and William Cooper Howells. These writers were very much products of their age, an age where morality and realism collided. The story of Isabel Archer, the heroine of James’s novel, provides an example of the authors’ similarities and disparities. Henry James built a stor Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes novel as example of late 19th Cent. Realist tradition: protagonist, values, symbols, plot. Paper Introduction: Introduction William Dean Howells was the most prominent author in the school of realism, and The Rise of Silas Lapham is his most prominent work. The book has been described as a paradigm for the United States in the late 19th century, as the Industrial Revolution took hold, fortunes were won and lost, and America searched for a new identity. This paper will analyze Howells’ seminal work and how it fits into the Realist tradition that the author helped create. Silas Lapham as a Man and as a Symbol A cursory plot summary would seem to indicate that The Rise of Silas Lapham details Lapham’s rise from a man of few means to a wealthy business owner. After all, that is the American myth, the idea anyone can become rich if they work hard enough or are lucky enough. The title a Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes novel's depiction of racial stereotypes in murder trial of Japanese-Amer. Paper Introduction: Individual judgments of Kabuo Miyamoto are profoundly affected by racial stereotypes in David Guterson's novel Snow Falling on Cedars. In the first place, Miyamoto was placed in an internment camp, along with other Japanese-Americans, on the basis of racism and nothing else. Miyamoto and the others were seen as dangerous enemies of the United States on the basis of their racial heritage, their skin color, their facial features, their names, and nothing else. There was absolutely no evidence that Miyamoto had committed any crime against the United States or posed any danger to the United States, but he was placed in an internment camp nevertheless. While it is true that there is evidence which suggests his involvement in the murder of the other fisherman, Carl Heine, that evidence seems, to the reader, at least, if not the other Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Reviews novel about murder trial in ethnically divided community,and U.S. treatment of west coast Japanese-Americans in WWII. Paper Introduction: In the novel Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterman, events in a community on a small island in Puget Sound show the persistence of certain attitudes after World War II and how people who survived that conflict continue to live out the tensions and resentments of that war. Kabuo Miyamoto is a Japanese-American who spent the war in an internment camp, but once released, he still finds that his neighbors distrust him and are prejudiced against him because of his ancestry. Such prejudices become all the more heated in the context of a murder trial. World War II is always present for the characters in this novel, serving as suspected motive for the murder, as the crucible in which attitudes and human being were shaped, as a source of continuing discrimination, and as the major historical event remembered by the population.

The research will set forth the pattern of ideas that make Song of Solomon relevant to identity issues in the context of black culture and then discuss the means by which such narrative strategies and devices as magic realism, as well as other features of Morrison's work that Bradbury identifies, such as the power of myth and hidden fables, are employed to reach coherent meaning and sentient effect.

Paper Abstract: Examines Americanization of Olivia, power of cultural models, language, supernatural themes, characterization. Paper Introduction: 1. Amy Tan's The Hundred Secret Senses shows that Olivia was shaped by American values, materialism, self-centeredness, rationality, skepticism, and rejection of the traditional ways of China. The major complicating factor is, of course, the influence of her sister Kwan. Their very names suggest this division, one American, the other Chinese. As much as Olivia wants to throw off forever her ethnic past, Kwan is always there as both sister and surrogate mother to remind her of the roots of which Olivia is ashamed. Because of her Americanization, Olivia lives a life defined by externals--what other people think of her, how much money she and her husband make, material goods. Her childhood, however, is more contradictory: "For most of my childhood, I had to struggle not to see the world the way Kwan described it. Like her talk Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Examines short novel's portrait of young girl, her emerging self-awareness & her use of knowledge of others to manipulate them. Paper Introduction: This research will examine the short novel What Maisie Knew by Henry James. The research will provide a critique of the emergence of knowledge of the self and of the world and the impact of that knowledge and of the process by which it emerges on the shape of personality that the "knower"--in this case a young girl--develops. The pattern of ideas in What Maisie Knew is most accurately described as an accretion of awareness and understanding by the child Maisie, who is the object of a nasty and protracted custody battle in the wake of her parents' divorce. As of 1999, this seems an obvious subject for treatment on (say) the Lifetime cable network, but in fact James published this work in 1907 and set it in the context of London's contemporary high society.

Paper Abstract: Critiques novel's themes, characters, sources, author's life & views of sister Charlotte, social aspects, myth, critical responses. Paper Introduction: Emily Brontè (1818-48) was born in the parsonage at Thornton in Yorkshire and two years later her father became rector of Haworth, also in Yorkshire. Her single novel, Wuthering Heights, is infused with the spirit of the moors around Haworth and the singular nature of the Brontè family's lives and accomplishments have made biography-based criticism the principle approach to their novels. While there is much in the novels of Charlotte and Anne that is clearly derived from their own experience, Emily's great work is less susceptible to this approach. Very little is known about her short life and much of what is known is filtered through the protective, and defensive, Charlotte. Thompson's recent analysis of the role of gender in the initial reception of Wuthering Heights and her critique of the "Biographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell" that Charlotte appended to the 1850 edition Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Psychoanalytic study of whether protagonist surrenders her integrity in order to achieve happiness & success in novella, and whether she is an hysteric. Paper Introduction: This study will psychoanalyze the integrity of Jean Muir's happiness and success in Louisa May Alcott's novella Behind A Mask; or, A Woman's Power. The question is whether Jean surrenders all of her integrity, or even all of her true identity, in performing the various roles she plays as a governess, an actress, and an engaged woman, in order to achieve that success. The answer is that she may have lost some or much of her integrity, or even her identity in her reliance on the masks of her different roles, but in order to achieve success in the patriarchal, deception-ridden society in which she lives, she makes the choice to do whatever she has to do. This answer can only be appreciated if the reader accepts the world as portrayed by Alcott, and believes, as this reader does, that Alcott means Jean's tactics to be a sign of necessary strength, and not Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Author's life & autobiographical elements in depiction of character of Jo and her family in novel. Paper Introduction: Louisa May Alcott is best-known for her novel Little Women, but she wrote many other novels and was a very popular author in her time. She was also a member of a famous family and knew many of the important literary figures of her day. Alcott derived elements of her novels from her own life and often included herself autobiographically, notably in the character of Jo in Little Women. Her father was Bronson Alcott, a member of the Transcendentalist movement whose best-known adherent may have been Ralph Waldo Emerson. Alcott was also an educator who implemented his ideas about education at several schools, such as the Temple School at Boston that he founded in 1834. Later, he was school superintendent at Concord and elsewhere. In his educational structure, he tried to create the harmonious Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Plot, characters, family relations, feminist theme of 19th Cent. novel. Paper Introduction: The novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott stands as an archetype of feminine writing from the nineteenth century, a story emphasizing the choices facing women in terms of home and family, career choice, and aspirations. Much of the sense of choice is placed in the hands of Jo, the strongest female in the novel and the one who becomes the center for her family as well. It is this power of choice and inner strength that has attracted generations of readers and that was the attraction for filmmakers recently when they produced a new version of Little Women and successfully shaped the story for a feminist age. Little Women is not a complex novel nor a complex study of human nature. It is largely about Jo and her struggle to be good and to improve herself in the world, and as such it is believed to represent Louisa's own struggle with the same issue: Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes author's stories in context of communication system & his portraits of Amer.-Indians as strangers in U.S, culture, need for salvation, drinking, poverty, humor. Paper Introduction: The structure of the communication system is evident in the stories told by Sherman Alexie in his book The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven and in script of the film made from that book, Smoke Signals. The role of the storyteller in society is also reflected in the structure of the communication system. Alexie is dealing directly with the role of the storyteller in Native American society and with how that role affects the social order, is fed by that same order, and both conveys and creates myths as a result. In the stories in The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, humor is used to present serious subjects, showing that in one sense, the only way to view some issues without crying is to laugh. The stories show the plight of the modern Indian living near his or her birthright but no longer in control of it, Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Compares & contrasts several reviews of Allison's BASTARD OUT OF CAROLINA. Also reviews autobiographical details of the life of Dorothy Allison as revealed in published interviews in order to contextualize the novel. Paper Introduction: Dorothy Allison had published collections of poems (The Women Who Hate . . . Me), short stories (Trash), and essays (Skin). In 1992, she published her first novel, Bastard Out of Carolina. The book, set in Greenville County, South Carolina, in the 1950's, is the hard-hitting, often downright brutal story of the teenaged narrator, Ruth Anne "Bone" Boatwright, the illegitimate daughter of Anney, who was poor, fifteen, and unmarried when Bone was born. The greatest shame in Anney's life was the stark red "ILLEGITIMATE" stamped across the bottom of Bone's birth certificate; she tries several times--and fails--to have the stamp removed from the record. Finally she marries a sweet young man, Lyle, and has a second daughter, Reese. Though they are poor, they are happy, and so when Lyle is suddenly Read the Entire Essay.

Paper Abstract: Analyzes autobiographical account of young black female's coming-of-age, suffering, self-acceptance, faith. Paper Introduction: Maya Angelou, in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, tells the story of her troubled childhood, in which she begins with the false hope of being a white girl with blond hair and ends with a strong sense of pride in being black. The book begins with young Maya's longing to be what she was not: Wouldn't they be surprised when one day I woke out of my black ugly dream, and my real hair, which was long and blond, would take the place of the kinky mass that Momma wouldn't let me straighten? (2). The book ends with Maya proudly giving birth to a child of her own, and with a powerful and liberating awareness of her own identity as a black woman: The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, Read the Entire Essay.
