The Gleaner

The essay debated the importance of women to achieve a higher education. Murray connected the confidence women receive by education and followed with achievements and economic independence. Economy independence was so important to Murray because becoming economic independence was an effort for women to support their families or remain single. In 1790 Judith published “On the Equality of the Sexes” in a Massachusetts’ Magazine. The essay argues about the education and employment opportunity for women in society. The Gleaner, a three-volume set collection of Murray of essays, poems, and plays was released in 1798. In The Gleaner Murray insisted free women to have a mindset of businesspeople. Murray’s vision was to “venues for social bonds and charitable impulses as well as rational calculation appropriate to men and to women” (Hartigan-O 'Connor, 4). In her essays, Murray discusses numerous political and social issues that affected her. However, The Gleaner did not have a high success. Few months after Murray publish her first column at the Massachusett magazine, she published The Reposition which include a shorter, more reflective and universalist pieces. In 1795, Murray presented her first play at the Federal Street Theater making Murray the first American-born woman writer to have her work perform on the Boston stage (encyclopedia.com/ Smith /Hartigan-O 'Connor). Judith Sargent Murray extraordinary legacy was having “the courage to use her “abilities” despite what a…

The most important lesson that I got from these portions of The Gleaner, is the fact that women were very accepting and did not really take action when it came to most things due to their status in society. An example would be “My poor mother weeps incessantly; she says she shall never know peace again”(390), rather than doing something about the situation, her mother was accepting everything that life was presenting her with. She felt helpless and was accepting of the fact that the world was…

Food is amazing! It keeps us happy and it is there for us for every seconds of life. Well not really, maybe I exaggerated myself, because not everyone gets food whenever they want. But food is a necessity of life; everyone needs it, wants it and it is probably the best thing in this world. Food attracts to us, everyone loves food. David Gelb’s film named Jiro Dreams of Sushi, shows the life of a famous sushi chef named Jiro Ono through various high definition pictures of food. Agnes Varda’s film…

which had been popular since the late 18th century, and in turn abandoned the drama, emotion, and exotic subject matter that accompanied the artistic movement. In contrast, artists began to favor the portrayal of ‘real life’ situations, creating the birth of Realism. Realists avoided depicting people in any artificial way, shown by the emphasis placed on the reality of the working class and the lack of heroic figures. Instead, realist works portrayed people and issues with accuracy and honesty,…

In The Absolute Bourgeois, T. J. Clark notes that much of Millet’s work from the early 1850s reduces the lives of the proletariat to menial existences: “They [Millet’s pieces] do no more than illustrate their tasks, they are created to grasp the hay or wield the pitchfork…they are not so much anonymous as perfunctory.” Indeed, Millet and the other artists of his time created works that blended technical mastery with profound subtextual content. Their cleverly composed pieces often stirred…

Sitting there, in the winnowing wind (which, by the way, is incredible alliteration) with HER soft-lifted hair, tells us that autumn probably is a female. Autumn seems like me after exams, just chilling in a granary with her hair lifted by the wind. The speaker now tells that autumn also can be found in a half reaped furrows. Not just that, but might also be drunk on then smell of poppy flowers she harvested. The speaker uses poppy flowers on purpose because they were used to make opium. While…

Canadian Student Left His GF After Winning the Jackpot. He Didn’t Think She Could Do This… Fredericton, New Brunswick – The scandal at the University of Fredericton dormitory reminds a Shakespeare’s play. It’s hard to believe everything began with a very lucky “spin”. “Jim Reynolds was probably the poorest student around the entire dorm,” Jim’s roommate Mark explains. “So it’s quite fair that it was he who hit the jackpot, but his further action seems immoral to me. Ann really loved him and…

perspective in mind. The whole point of most artists up to the late 19th century was to earn their keep and living by creating art for the upper class and royalty. That being said, everything that the artists did had to impress and flatter the royalty or they wouldn't get a commission, and no commission meant no money for food. So naturally the art that was created was all about flattering the royalty, making the gods and mythology look good, or in some way provoking an emotional reaction from…

Asthma affects an estimated 300 million individuals worldwide. Annually, the World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated 250,000 asthma deaths worldwide (Morris, 2015).
