“His teachers felt this afternoon that his whole attitude was symbolized by his shrug and his flippantly red carnation flower, and they fell upon him without mercy . . .” (Cather 92). Paul is a character in the short story “Paul’s Case,” which was written by Willa Cather, who was not living a life that he wanted to. Cather did give me the impression that we should view Paul in an unsympathetic way in the beginning of the story, but by the end of it, my whole view on him changed. Throughout the…

Throughout the widespread genres of dance, there is always a rich background and purpose. Modern dance, one of the most recently recognized genres, can take many forms, while Dance du Ventre, or belly dancing, has a more narrow variety of moves. However, both have a deep rooting in women’s history and represent the value of a woman and…

In Andrew Marvell’s poem “Damon the Mower,” the protagonist describes his heartbreak after Juliana rejects him. Though readers never hear Juliana’s voice in the poem, Damon freely speaks of her thoughts and actions. His monopoly of narration allows him to exploit gender roles and tell his biased side of their story. He portrays Juliana as a masculine, superhuman creature by aligning her with the typically male Sun and describing her through the use of three symbolic gifts he gives to her.…
