Maid

I like “The Ruined Maid” by Thomas Hardy. My paraphrase is this: “Two women talk about the ‘ruined’ lifestyle. Ironically, a ruined lifestyle is filled with luxury and refinement. The ‘ruined’ woman seems to have been a country woman before like the other woman. While the country woman focuses on the other woman’s success, the ‘ruined’ woman constantly says that it’s because she is ruined.” Thomas Hardy’s “The Ruined Maid” consists of a conversation between a ‘ruined’ woman and a country woman…

For Coca-Cola, its boundaries have undergone a substantial transformation as a result of organizational acquisitions. For example, the Coca-Cola Company acquired Minute Maid in 1960 (“The Minute Maid Company History,” n.d.). In 1993, the Coca-Cola Company acquired Thums Up -- a spicy cola beverage company that originated in India (“20 Years Later: A Look Back at Coke’s Dramatic 1993 Return to India, 2013”). Two years later, they…

It was painted in 1656 and translates to The Maids of Honor. It portrays King Philip IV’s daughter, Infanta Margarita, the princess. Later in 1957, Pablo Picasso, another Spanish painter, combined his cubistic style and crazy color palate to make an interesting and original idea for the classic Las Meninas painting. Diego Velazquez's Las Meninas was focused on the the maids. It is obvious because the of the title and he has all of the maids in the painting and they take up most of…

punished for their cruel behavior and tortured for all eternity. In other words, hell. The Maids' Tartarus is a paper mill where they are worked from dusk till dawn. With strict rules forbidding them from having a life outside of the factory, it is truly hell on earth. In “The Tartarus of Maids” Melville describes the reality of privilege and the great cost that is paid to attain it. He contrast the Maids’ Tartarus to Bachelor’s Paradise. The privilege of the upper class in this story are the…

Johannes Vermeer’s “A Maid Asleep,” painted around 1657, is one of his earlier paintings, in which Vermeer experimented with “genre painting.” Although not particularly popular during his own time, he is now revered as one of the best Dutch artists. Perhaps his lack of recognition during the seventeenth century was due to the small amount of paintings he produced or the fact that only a small group of people bought his paintings in Delft, the city he lived in. The small group of people found…

shows what life was like for black maids taking care of white families. Stockett does a good job of showing the difference between real life and fiction. She knows that race is a fact of life and how society can determine what people see you as. “The Help” is a community of black people who bring up white children and take care of their homes. The book is narrated by three women, Minny; a black maid who has a big mouth and has a temper, Aibileen; another black maid who is taking care of her…

to find one is through reliable maid agencies. It does seem practical nowadays to have someone at home to do and wash the dishes for you, to water your plants, and to clean and keep things organized. Yes, hiring the services of a maid can be expensive, but then when you are able to get one who turns out to be honest and reliable, then you are actually doing yourself one big favor. Agencies that provide household services are among the best places to look for a maid you can actually entrust your…

Thomas Hardy’s poem, “The Ruined Maid”, is a poem that tells the story of two women who happen to reconcile after a lengthy amount of time. The two stop to talk and the underprivileged woman of the two compliments Melia, the other woman, telling her how fancy and dignified she looks compared to before when they both resembled “raw country gals”. Both women compare their lives and they assure the other that they are not ruined. The two women have a different definition of the word, but they are…
