Standing Here Ironing in My New Dress As a single parent children have different meaning for standing when it comes to being discipline by their parents. To us standing is shrieking up to be heard for the children they shriek down to heard. What I’m trying to say is if we do not take control in our children’s life style how are we to know when they or shrieking up or down. Sometimes one have to take the time out and explain to your children why these situation occurs even if it is bad on our…

Writer, Virginia Woolf, in her speech, “Professions for women,” discusses the controversial topic of women in jobs, and argues that women are taken for granted in the workplace. She explains her job as a writer, leading her audience to believe it was an easy profession to acquire. Woolfe then turns around and lists difficulties she had when she first started out. She speaks with a condescending, stuck up tone at the beginning of the speech, but later transitions into a vulnerable tone, to allow…

and Susan (but not Rhoda) skim the flower beds with their nets” (Woolf 6). Woolf’s use of a parenthetical statement, which interjects a modifier into the sentence, emphasizes Rhoda’s absence from the activity. In addition, Louis’s statement about Rhoda and her lack of participation in the butterfly catching is the first external description the reader has of her as a character. By making this initial depiction of Rhoda negative, Woolf emphasizes her disconnection from the rest of the narrative.…

In this rational I will discuss how meaning is made in performance in relation to the site specific space. I will deconstruct some of the underlying themes presented in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House in order to examine the ways in which they correspond with the chosen performance space. I will demonstrate how the context of the play and my chosen space interconnect with each other and how site specific space can further help me to explore the motives and themes that appear throughout the play…

The repetitive and circular nature of history is embodied in both the past and present of Crick’s life. This circular movement is most easily identified and elucidated in the details surrounding his wife’s incarceration. According to “The Construction of Cyclical Time in Waterland,” Swift “constructs circular time not only by structuring Waterland's narrative cyclically but also by didactically presenting time as circular” (Rao). With that being said, along with attempting to refute Price’s…

In the “Mirror”, by Sylvia Plath, shows the lack of confidence women face with image/reflection and the hours associated with aging through personification and metaphors. The author is accomplishing numerous forms of figurative language devices. Symbolism to show images only last for a very short time and resulting, the speaker’s attitude toward truthfulness. In the next couple paragraphs I would like to focus on the theme, tone/attitude and figurative language device used in this poem. The…

The stories "An Adventure in Paris"(NASF. 493) by Guy De Maupassant and "Everyday Use"(NASF. 816) by Alice Walker showcase similar and different ways to present a story through point of view and characters. Both stories have characters that are functional and symbolic to the story. Each of these stories uses both a foil and utilitarian through one character, Dee and Jean Varin, that ultimately changes the protagonist for the better and allows them to see what they have. De Maupassant makes his…

The story tells the reader about the loneliness of the girl growing up…

and The Waves by Virginia Woolf. In charting the formation of an artist, each novel functions as a Künstlerroman, moving through a lifetime using memory.
