    Maria W. Stewart Analysis

    Between January 7, 1832 and May 4, 1833, William Lloyd Garrison's newspaper, The Liberator, published six articles by abolitionist and black nationalist Maria W. Stewart.1 In these articles, Stewart spoke in two seemingly contradictory registers as she described God's interactions with humanity. On the one hand, she portrayed a gentle God who directed his angels to carry oppressed individuals "into Abraham's bosom [where] they shall be comforted" ("Address: Delivered before" 66); on the other hand, she warned sinners-specifically white American sinners-of a wrathful and violent God who was on the verge of sending "horror and devastation" to the world ("Address, Delivered in"). While these two images may seem paradoxical to contemporary readers,…

    Through reading “The Woman Upstairs”, Claire Messud creates the character of Nora Eldridge, an angry, self-aware narrator, who works to educate the reader on the choices and confines of being a woman and over all the female experience that is focused on a particular life stage. In my opinion, it would be difficult to write an accurate female experience without divulging into perceivable sexist stereotypes that are predominant in the culture today. Expanding on that, can we read Claire Messud’s work as a feminist, on the basis that she defies these stereotypical norms, or is she just another angry woman whose life has become a stalemate. Readers may consider her a feminist in the aspect that she rejects stereotypical norms of setting down fast…

    The funniest incident in the film is his recreation of Carnesecca’s ugly sweater before “The Sweater Game” in 1985. But that means that the years that followed, and especially the years after Gavitt left as commissioner to join the Boston Celtics’ front office, don’t get as much time. This is arguably the most important segment of the documentary, because it picks apart the business end of a college athletic conference at the point when basketball dominance and multimillion-dollar television deals are not enough in comparison to football. Requiem notes the sponsorship deals that coaches were able to make, how that income supplemented and often superseded what the coaches made in salary from their university. Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin, and Dwayne Washington would probably object to that assessment as the main reason for tuning in.…

    Ellen Foster Analysis

    • 4 Pages

    Ellen Foster was written by Kaye Gibbons, and the book is narrated by a young girl named Ellen Foster, telling the reader about the unique childhood she experienced, filled with an abusive father and many different homes and experiences that a ten year old child typically wouldn’t have. When interpreting the book Ellen Foster through a social power lense, you can see that the power of the society and the way Ellen grew up, and the experiences she had under the power of her elders, really pushed her to overcome her moral challenges and become a better person. If Ellen was raised in a normal home, she probably wouldn’t have stayed friends with Starletta, or overcome the internal racism that everyone possessed in the period that the book was written.…

    Coaches have the power to change lives. I can humbly say this as all my coaches, both good and bad, have taught me in some way what it takes to be a good athlete and most importantly how to be a good human being. They have taught me life lessons that I can only hope to preserve by instilling them into my athletes in my time as a coach. The articles I have chosen to highlight in this essay show how coaches have helped to develop character in athletes, how they pushed them to be the best on and off the field of play, and illustrate how they stepped into the lives of athletes and became so much more than just a coach.…

    Mary Reilly Analysis

    • 2006 Words
    • 9 Pages

    Appropriations of successful texts often make critical changes to the original novel for a variation of intentions. These changes often reflect the cultural values of the time period and upon analysis the similarities and differences between the cultures are revealed. The film Mary Reilly (1996) is a recent appropriation of the 1886 classic novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Stephen Frears, director of Mary Reilly, has cinematically and creatively chosen to omit or carry on certain techniques, characters, plot points and themes from the original text in order to create a film that continues the legacy of Stevenson’s work yet remains engaging to its audience.…
