“Jane, be still; don’t struggle so, like a wild frantic bird that is rending its own plumage in its desperation. I am no bird; and no net ensures me: I am a free human being with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you” (Bronte 216). In the selected passage, from the analysis taken it appears that Jane is expressing how she is finally free as she always dreamed. This was around the time where Mr. Rochester did not want Jane to leave him after figuring out he was a married man. He…

If talking about the characters in Six Chapters of a Floating Life, almost everyone will focus on Yun, who is regarded as one of the loveliest women in Chinese literature. Compared with other traditional women characters who only live for husband, her love for literature and her virtues make her different and conspicuous. However, Yun’s unique qualities make me more interesting in her husband, Shen Fu. Since Shen Fu gets Yun’s unconditional love, he certainly is an extraordinary person who owns…

dangerously near; the end is at hand. The gradual corrosion of innocence by a creeping, crawling, lurking evil is as maddening as any modern method of torture: it is not only destroys but debases and humiliates. The contrast between natural and man-made calamity is glaring. Sukru Jani’s wife, Sombari, we are told, was dragged away one day by a man – eating tiger as she collected dry twigs in the forest. Sukru Jani suffers, but for him this event is comprehensible: it is the infinitely convoluted…

Good People is a novel by Maggie Gee, who is a English writer. I'm not completely sure when she wrote the short story, but it is in a short story-book from 20131. I have, however, found it mentioned on another webpage back in 2006.2 It's about a woman named Justine, who just got on a plane back from Africa. There she meets an evangelist who's also been to Africa. In the beginning Justine is pretty uncomfortable. She thinks that something on the plane smells burned and she tries to get an…

There is a subtle, inward satisfaction in picking up details initially missed the first time you read a book or watch a movie. Appreciating the hidden adult jokes in Disney classics or understanding the significance of George Orwell’s 1984 feels like a measurement of growth of one’s maturity and life experiences. Theresa Krauskopf’s essay entitled “On Second Glance” explores that feeling of enjoyment that comes from rediscovering something that was little appreciated in youth. Readers will be…

A comparative study of Jane Austen’s, Pride and Prejudice and Fay Weldon’s, Letters to Alice on first reading Jane Austen, argues the values of social restrictions to dictate notions of success. The reading of Pride and Prejudice presents confusing perspectives on social restrictions and success in love, mannerisms and marriage. It is only upon reading Letters to Alice, an epistolary series does Weldon explicitly and implicitly comment on Jane Austen’s context, utilising her own context to allow…

The earliest writing that we know of today dates back to 5,000 B.C. by the Mesopotamians. Since then, writing have developed from a way to communicate and teach people to telling intricate, heart wrenching stories that have people turning the pages of their books for hours on end, but Ruth Graham's article “Against YA,” in which she argues against young adult novels, is different. Ruth claims that reading is taking a dark turn, for the worst, the rise of young adult novels among adults is her…

Dolly's influence continued to grow after the release of her films as newly revealed facets of her already complex personality attracted a diverse group of people. The "lite feminism" of 9 to 5 made her appealing to feminists and working women without offending women with more conservative values. The sexual nuances of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas hinted at homosexuality and her pro-gay rights comments in interviews made her an icon for the queer community. Dolly's feminism and ties to…
