Surfacing

instead learned how to live in the world of her time, gained control and confidence in her decisions and came to terms with her complicated personality. This outcome can be considered an important achievement and a kind of liberation. Atwood’s Surfacing appears to be less ambiguous than the other two works. Giving up her sanity exempts the Narrator from the bounds of civilization, its conventions and demands, and allows her a more profound access…

surface. One part she says about her relationships with her ex husband, her lover Joe, David and Anna her friends who are known to her recently consist of one separate self. On the other part, the direct encounter of her father’s corpse leads onto the surfacing from death into renewal of life.

Spiegelman’s way of portraying his story makes a different impact to the audience. In a way where the reader can perhaps relate and understand a tragic story line such as the Holocaust. Art’s cartoons give the reader the visual images he wants the reader to imagine. I personally enjoyed the way Spiegelman chose to pay close attention to the details entailed throughout the story.

“The Black Cat” short story by Edgar A. Poe resembles another story that he has written; The Black Cat resembles “The Tell-Tale Heart” in various ways. The first echo between the two stories is the way the narrator presents himself from the beginning of the story.

Sylvia Plath clearly embeds the story of Esther Greenwood into the political situation of the time. The Bell Jar introduces its setting by referring to the execution of the Rosenbergs. In the summer of 1953 Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were accused of and electrocuted for espionage. It was believed that they had passed secret US military information on nuclear weapons on to Soviet Intelligence. The fear of the so-called “red scare” was omnipresent, and it was believed that more and more people…

2. Share why it touched your heart and mind. This passage touched my heart and mind because as an immigrant it is difficult to hear how they labeled immigrants depending on what ethnicity they were. Their ethnicity depended on who was going to get a job and what job they would do and many of them hated each other because they were competing against each other and it all depended on what race they were. Many immigrants were against each other and talked down to each other using derogatory words…

Higher the stability of the mix, greater will be the strength of surfacing. Stability values of semi dense bituminous concrete mix at 60ºC on replacement of quarry dust by cupola slag from 10 to 100 percentages will give the stability of 12.62 kN,19.03 kN,14.65 kN,9.53 kN,9.52 kN,8.43 kN,7.42 kN,5.56 kN, 5.56 kN,3.48 kN…
