Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire Rani Kobayashi Stella: Stella is the character that stands between the two personalities of Blanche and Stanley. She comes from the wealthy background of her sister, but chose to live the life of the working class with her husband Stanley. Stella does not have distinct traits that make her unique from others like Blanche and Stanley do. She prefers to do what makes other people happy, and rarely expresses her own opinion. This attitude reflects in her marriage which…

class. Community is a group of people who share common ground, it can be the area where they live as in IMAGE MAKING IN ARCTIC ART by Edmund Carpenter or it can be a language like in Mother Tongue, by Amy Tan. Richard Rodriguez's The Achievement of Desire, he says something…

There is a question in the textile world that always seems to have two answers. “Did humans realize that plants and bugs could excrete dye first, or did humans gain the desire to color their textiles first?” The answer to the question is often debated. With archeologists finding new things everyday, our answers are often re evaluated. Its hard to make a concrete decision when our growth on the knowledge of history is always changing. It can be assumed that dying textiles started in different…

difficult than illusion by magic and imagination. Having a reality has few consequences like showing their style or effort to achieve or be a better one. It’s a hard experience for someone to become imagination. As we learned from the Streetcar named Desire, the characters are using more illusion to ditch problems from others and escape reality. It’s hard for the characters like Blanche to tell the truth. As we seen in the play that Blanche was drinking would stop her nerves and increase her…

Both of them are hypothesized to influence desire, either as a means of avoiding the negative emotions, or acquiring the positive emotions. As playing games is a leisure activity, with little to no pressure from others, the anticipated emotions should strongly influence desire. H5.1 Positive Anticipated Emotions positively influence desire H5.2 Negative Anticipated Emotions positively influence…

Blanche is characterized to be shown as very insecure about her appearance and people’s opinions about her. She does not like to be shown in direct light so people don’t look at her too closely since she is very insecure, she constantly lives her life in the shadows. Her living in the shadows makes her believe that people will perceive her has perfect since no one can see her directly up close. She clearly is not fooling anyone since Stella makes a remark about it to Stanley about her sister’s…

taking a shower, in case you’re wondering. Once a man drops the soap, he will be broken on the inside and I guess out. I am seriously not trying to be a bad person here. Also, it’s not that I want to get rape or agree with rape; it’s the fact that I desire sex, VERY badly. Kids are always being told to not do something; five minutes later they do it behind your back. Why? Well, I feel that it’s not mainly for the curiosity but that you were intrigued that you can’t do something…

overwhelming amount of it. The kids need the competition, for it was David A. Feigly, PhD, of the Youth Sports Research Council at Rutgers University, who said “True sportsmanship cannot exist unless there is an honest desire to win” (Robinson 19). Part of sportsmanship is putting in the honest desire to win, not just being a fair athlete. Being fair is important though, and that point in youth sports has seemingly been lost at certain times during the intense heat of games. There are many…

similarities and differences in respect with ambition, desire for power, acquisition of knowledge, and exploration. Victor Frankenstein, Robert Walton, and the Monster all wish to pursue these elements, but differ in the sense of morality to how they acquire it. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley draws parallels between each of the three narrator’s desire for power and their downfall. The story begins with the determined Robert Walton’s embarkment. Walton’s desire for such knowledge draws him to an…

Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby illustrates an individual who, through his desire and his overwhelming sense of hope, earns the American Dream. However, this is distinctive to Tom Buchanan, who shows the benefits of being born into “old money”. During the 1920’s, everyone desired “new money” in order to acquire the same social and economic status as the generationally wealthy class. In The Great Gatsby, the desire to obtain the American Dream drastically impacts an individual 's…
