Arc de Triomphe

outside: “Look down into the courtyard” (CP 26). This line indicates Bishop’s invitation to her audience to observe with her. The very title, “Paris 7a.m.,” suggests the main concepts of place and time which Bishop explores in the poem. Jonathan Ellis observes that this particular Bishop poem “show[s] a young poet experimenting with various poetic traditions, desperately seeking a voice to approach autobiography safely” (Ellis 30). Bishop locates her poem within the circles (rotaries) and squares (plazas) of Paris. The repetition of the words circles and squares gives this sense of the Paris roadways and how the roads tend to converge at the center or an “Etoile.” Bishop bears in mind the geography so carefully that she references the Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile a point at which twelve major road of Paris meet at the famous monument. The twelve roads call to mind the plentitude of “clocks” throughout the poem and how their geography also includes this circle convergence. Jonathon Ellis understands the specific place and time of the title as “[Bishop] announc[ing] the time and location in ‘Paris, 7a.m.’…[as] a way of shoring up the imagination, of grounding it in literal facts and history. And yet the cry still finds a way through.” (Ellis 52). The cry within “Paris, 7a.m.” takes place underneath the surface in Bishop’s struggle to make sense of the ever shifting senses of space and time. The endless supply of clocks in the poem suggests a commentary about time. The clocks…

Joan of Arc as a Woman Joan of Arc is a historical woman in which we as students, historians, and people in general have tried to understand. Some people know her as the woman who heard voices, or was burned at the stake, or maybe as the young girl who lead the French soldiers to a win over the English. Although she may be known for all of the above, the image of Joan that I would like to analyze is she as a woman. Different stories of Joan have different depictions of her in her womanhood.…

Feminism and women’s rights encompass many different aspects of society, but at the core they advocate the equal treatment of men and women. Women have been viewed as less significant and less influential than men throughout history, based upon the gender roles in which society imposes. Bernard Shaw uses the preface of Saint Joan to challenge the confining gender roles imposed upon women, by conveying how Joan is treated in her own time, the portrayal of her in literature and the importance of…

Exercise 4: Gesture and Gaze in Conversational Storytelling In order to make their narrative more plausible and detailed, many will use more than just a verbal account to illustrate their stories. Instead, they use gazes and gestures. In conversational storytelling, which is a collaborative event, gestures have meaningful functions that are tied to the description of the story.

The Importance of the Concept of Elasticity in Microeconomics The concept of elasticity is intended to measure the degree of responsiveness of a buyer or seller to a change in a key determinant, in particular price. 1 In other words, elasticity means how sensitive are consumers for a price change. I would like to talk about elasticity from the perspective of the total revenue. As we already know from the law of demand, when the price goes up, the quantity goes down. However, thanks for this…

She began to become a new type of hero for the people. She was a female hero who was still feminine, however she also was a warrior and a leader. The important factor in Joan being considered a hero was that she was virginal at the time. This made her not only more of a religious fact, but also she was not expected to be at home caring for her children. This new type of female hero was applauded by Christine de Pisan a well-educated French woman who was the Court Historian. Among her writings…
