Just as Christopher Hitchens proclaims, women are seen as not funny. He does go on thought to mention that there are some funny women out there, such as Dorothy Parker, Nora Ephron, Fran Lebowitz, and Ellen DeGeneres, so with this statement at least he gives examples of the opposite instance. Quite truthfully thought, this is a common stereotype, yet it is not completely justified. Depending on the person, everyone…

While many relate Dark Romanticism with Gothic Literature, they may seem alike but are surprisingly different. Including the origin, the style, and the scenic backgrounds. They both hold dark and mystic themes, but have completely different ways of carrying it out. Dark Romantics is in definition the literary feature of Transcendentalism. Transcendentalism was idealized in the 19th century, and lead to the creation of other types of writing genres still used today. This philosophical movement,…

The poem “One Perfect Rose,” written by the author Dorothy Parker, represents an example of a well-developed creative narrative that reflects how rhetorical elements such as repetition complemented with tone shifts can highlight and present the theme more vividly. This poem represents a contrast from the majority of poems about love because it is not the typical portrayal of a non-practical, idealistic feeling. In fact, the poem serves as a mockery of love in the way we tend to envision it,…

“A Certain Lady” is a short poem written by Dorothy Parker detailing a woman’s thoughts on her relationship with a mysterious man. The poem is written as a monologue about the woman’s ability to appear happy around the man and his inability to gauge her true feelings.

Yet, as there are these righteous events, so must there be the dark, gruesome, and depressing stories. Every place has its dark moment; the time in its history that the people would rather the world simply forget about. In a little town in Massachusetts, the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 were a perfect example of such a dark time. Filled…

Homer’s Odyssey, Penelope has been perceived in many different ways, including the feministic perspective of Margret Atwood in The Penelopiad.

The Roaring Twenties Many wonder what put the “roar” in the Roaring 20’s. Women voting, Klan’s starting, secret hangouts being created and the start of the jazz age are just a few things that put the roar in the 1920’s. Cars were being bought, spectator sports were becoming popular, women were gaining rights, alcohol was banned, speakeasies were created, dance and music grew and markets reached an all-time high, only to come crashing down to conclude this historical decade. Bringing a…

“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone, “once said in a quote by Dorothy Parker is something we hear as people every day; however, we live in a society that contradict the beliefs we’re taught. If looks really don’t matter as much as some people say, why is it that some go as far to harming themselves to reach a particular goal to feel beautiful or accepted? Why is it that some females and males photoshop their images on social media such as Instagram to receive a certain…
