Connection Between Perfume by Patrick Suskind and How to Read Literature Like a Professor by Thomas C. Foster 1. “And when he saw that it was good and that the whole earth was saturated with his divine Grenouille seeds… Then Grenouille the Great commanded the rain to stop.” (Suskind 126) a. This is connected to chapter 6 of Foster’s book which regards the use of the Bible in literature. Grenouille is already easily recognizable as a very egocentric character but by recognizing the biblical…

is the true nature of human self-expression? Perhaps, in the realm of art, there are those who use it purely for self-expression, those who force it through inorganic processes and formulas, and those who exploit it for materialistic desires. In Patrick Suskind’s…

There are several female role models that have influenced not only their contemporaries, but also future generations, but none have left such a long-lasting impression than Jaqueline Lee Kennedy Onassis. Jackie, born on July 28, 1929, was not only noted for her style and elegance but also for being the wife of the thirty-fifth president, John F. Kennedy. Jacqueline Onassis utilized her elegance and style – though at a high monetary price – to not only improve the White House during her tenure as…

Abstract The Moynihan Report of 1965 became one of the most talked about pieces during 1960s. At the time the report was written, Daniel Patrick served as Sectary for policy planning for The Department of Labor. The report was very controversial during that time; it spoke of the racial issues African American faced, education barriers, employment barriers, single family homes. It was during a time where African Americans were fighting for equality as well as liberty. Moynihan received great…

One of the reasons “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanly was a very entertaining play was because of its text elements. The play was about a morally wrong issue at a New York religious school that took place in the 1960’s. It sets this up by portraying the possibility that one of the priests named Father Flynn had an inappropriate relationship with a black child. This idea is conjured up by two of the school’s nuns discussing the idea. One nun, Sister Aloysisus is convinced while the other, Sister…

Before watching the movie, I believe that Father Flynn is guilty of something, but not necessarily rape/sexual assault. He could have sinned in a different way or done some other wrongdoing, and that could be the reason he was acting so sketchy. If I was in a court of law, however, I would say he’s innocent because there is not enough solid evidence to prove that he is guilty. His reactions to the accusations and past history with multiple parishes does make me suspect he is guilty of something,…

Freudian(Psychoanalytical) Literary Analysis of Doubt Doubt by John Patrick Shanley is about a nun who is entirely convinced that a priest had done something inappropriate with one of the students and taken advantage of the fact that the student (Donald Muller) is an African-American. Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the nun, concluded that Father Flynn, the priest, had been forcing Donald Muller to drink wine and molesting him. With the help of a naïve nun named Sister James, Sister Aloysius attempted…

for Poe’s story, the narrator and main character is Montresor; he is a psychopath. Montresor commits a crime against his friend, Fortunado who caused many “injuries” (Pike and Acosta 543) towards Montresor, but what he did is never mentioned. Patrick McGrath, in an essay for the New York Times newspaper, notices the psychopathy in “the Cask of Amontillado.” He notes the type of characters Poe creates, “but none are quite as deranged as the narrator of ‘The Cask of Amontillado.’ His name is…

Writers often use imagery to paint a picture in the reader’s mind. In the stories “A Cask of Amontillado” and “The Most Dangerous Game,” both Poe and Connell use descriptive imagery. Poe describes the underground catacombs full of dead bodies and Connell describes the wild jungle on Ship Trap Island. Each of the authors use imagery to make their stories come to life. Poe uses imagery very well; however, Connell uses it in a better way and has more description. In the beginning of the story…

the upcoming year. So why are plays still being directed more towards a male audience? With musicals such as the producer becoming leading headlines on the Broadway scene. Why is so difficult for women to create a career for herself on broad way, Patrick Healy writes that “Women have long seen sexism in the industry, despite theater being the home of so many progressive-minded artists. Even matters like maternity leave weren’t standard in some directing contracts until recently.” In the article…
